I use a cosmetic size bag as a first aid kit. I always have it in my purse – I have very accident-prone kids and friends. Here is what I keep in my kit:
  • Antibiotic ointment
  • Band-Aids - various sizes
  • Blister Band-Aids (trust me, get a couple)
  • Tweezers
  • Nail clippers
  • Sewing kit (the hotel ones are perfect)
  • Nail file
  • Bee Sting stick or wipes
  • Epi-pen (for Bee or Nut allergies)
  • Eye drops
  • Benadryl
  • Key size multi-tool
  • Laytex gloves
  • Triaminic cold/cough strips
  • Safety pins
  • Dental Floss
  • Duct Tape

Tip:

If all else fails,
smile and nod.
