Out at breakfast, we were discussing the best of items which are a sort of ‘must have’ for each of us…the smart one among us, D, listed items such as ‘string’, ‘band aids’, ‘knife’, ‘lighter’, etc.

I offered:
- valid passport
- bobby pins
- safety pins
- purse sized sewing kit
- floss
- clear nail polish
- kohl eyeliner
- MAC Phlooph Frost shadow
- MAC Clear Lip Glass**
- Lancome Hypnose mascara
- Revlon Always Starlet red nail polish
…because that would carry you into any situation gracefully. It wasn’t a matter of life and death for me, but of vanity and travel.

Have you anything to add?
Better yet, if you had any emergency kit – vanity or otherwise – what would it include?

**I have spent a mini fortune on MAC’s Lip Glass in clear, because it is the only item I continuously misplace. I have never held on to one long enough to finish the tube, but rather, always loose it quite early on. It seems to be, in some odd way, my very own Catcher In The Rye.
