Local mom and blogger Alissa Forester joined Liz and Rich in Studio B to talk about the things moms need to have in their purse.
For Mom:
- Tide pen- solve those inevitable spills
- Sunglasses and lens cleaner- no make-up, no problem... no smudges
- Chapstick and lip gloss- mom gets to feel pretty, and lip gloss with sunglasses looks like you're put together
- Portable Mineral SPF (Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral Powder SPF 30 & 45 for $30 at Sephora)- protect your skin on the go, plus it's powder so no shiny face
- Brush & Clip- fix your 3 p.m. hair or do it on the go
For Kids:
- Wipes- no one wants a dirty kid (also nice for mom)
- Extra pacifier- if you have a little one that loves the binkie, you know you can never have enough of these
- Alcohol-free Hand Sanitizer (Baby Ganics Alcohol Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer $2 @ Bed Bath & Beyond, $3 at Babies 'R Us)- safe for use with kids, and for mom if handling kids food (alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not safe for kids, just lick your finger a few minutes after using it and you'll understand)
- Fruit and Veggie Squeeze (Plum Organics baby $1.49 each at Target, can also buy in bulk)- portable organic fruit for an anytime meal or snack
- Extra kid underwear- prepare for accidents
- Toys- for baby and kids (teethers, smart phone)
