This post is sponsored by Ricola. RIIIIIIIICOLAAAAAAAAA.
Let’s take a look in my bag, shall we? (While writing this post, I thought I remembered doing something similar, and look! 2005, y’all. 8 YEARS AGO. Look at that phone! Hahaaaaa.)
As you can see, my uber minimalist days of yore have disappeared, although I still try to keep things relatively tidy. Is it ridiculous that I have a paper calendar, a miniature notepad, AND a pack of post-it notes? Hell no! I am a List Maker, remember? However it might be ridiculous that I carry with me SEVEN lip products…hey, it’s winter and I need to keep my lips moisturized, peeps. Oh, and speaking of old man winter, Ricola, the leading manufacturer of soothing herb drops from Switzerland, has added a new product to its line of herb drops, Extra Strength, for powerful cough relief, which I am sure to keep in my bag at all times during the cooler months. (Go ahead and count ’em – 7 commas in that sentence.)
Thanks to the lovely herbal drop makers, it’s giveaway time! The winner of this giveaway will receive a $100 VISA gift card and a Ricola Soothing Relief Kit! Awww yeahhhhh. Leave a comment telling me how you “winterize” your bag before Friday, December 20th, and you’ll be entered to win! Thanks, Ricola!

December 18, 2013 at 2:40 pmI winterize by loading up on hand lotion – right now I’m carrying The Body Shop’s Almond Hand & Nail Cream and a Crabtree & Evelyn Summer Hill Hand Therapy, two things of travel tissues AND a handful of Ricolas!

December 18, 2013 at 2:41 pmI winterize my bag by using an entirely different and larger bag for the winter months. These months just seem to come with hauling around a lot more stuff: gloves, hats, lotion, tissues, cold medicine, etc. I never carry this kind of stuff in the summer!

December 18, 2013 at 2:44 pmAveda Just hands, tissues, extra lips, all the usual suspects, I guess.

December 18, 2013 at 2:44 pmTwo words: Boogie. Wipes. With a preschooler and kindergartener, cannot live without these in the winter. And Aquaphor for all our lips and dry patches. And Aveda Hand Relief lotion. Okay, that’s more then two words, but for real on the Boogie Wipes. Best invention ever.

December 18, 2013 at 2:54 pmI always have Avon’s Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair for dry/cracking hands. I always have it, but in the winter it’s a MUST.

December 18, 2013 at 3:08 pmSorry if this is a double-post, but I don’t see my post from earlier for some reason…
I’m lucky to live in Southern California so I don’t have to winterize much, but this time of year, my purse always has a crumpled up cardigan at the bottom of it. Last week, I found a stray wool glove, oh, and baby socks! My son is constantly taking those off and they end up in my purse;)
P.S. I tried to buy one of the revlon lip stains yesterday, and they basically were sold out at the store I was at.

medicated lip balm
Hand cream (got this cute little pot of it by Camille Beckman in my last Birchbox which works perfect)
