INSTANT SURVIVAL TIP: The Always-Ready Toiletry Bag

image by kafka4prez

Could your family pack for a vacation or evacuation in an hour or less?  I think with just a little caffeine, mine could!  We have two secret weapons: individual packing lists and toiletry bags.

You can read about the packing lists here, but what speeds up the process even more are the small zippered toiletry bags that are always packed  and ready to go.  Each family member has one of these.  Mine contains make-up samples, a contact case, tweezers, sample sizes of shampoo and hairspray, etc.  Daughter’s has a hairbrush, deodorant, some hair scrunches, her toothbrush and toothpaste.  You get the idea.  I stocked a family bag with various types of over-the-counter medicines and first aid items.

This is a huge timesaver, and could really come in handy in an emergency evacuation or just a quick weekend trip for Mom and Dad!
