I’ve carried around a little pouch of on-the-go necessities since high school, which I call my “Walking Pharmacy.” This includes items I like to have with me when I’m not at home. They’re not necessarily things I use all of the time, but I feel more comfortable out in the world knowing I have my little “just in case” stash with me. Over the years my collection of items has been whittled down as I’ve grown accustomed to carrying less (with the exception now of my baby’s things). It’s been a couple of years since my last update, so I thought I’d share a look at my current Walking Pharmacy.

If you saw my last post, you know I’m currently carrying the beautiful Legacy Backpack from J.W. Hulme Co. as a hybrid diaper purse. Most of the contents are for my 9 month old daughter except for my wallet, some snacks, lip balm, hand cream, and of course, my Walking Pharmacy. I recently purchased a Rifle Paper Co/LeSportSac 3 Zip Cosmetic (still on sale for 25% off at the time of posting!) to house my on-the-go necessities. I had one of these 3 Zip pouches way back in high school that my Mom gave me and remember loving the slim design, three zip compartments, and durable ripstop nylon material. I’m a big fan of the beautiful Rifle Paper Co. print and the size (5″x7″) is perfect to suit my current needs.
Here is a look at what is in each of the three zip compartments:
In the largest compartment I keep a pack of tissues, a pop up mirror & brush, poopy bags (both useful for my dog and stinky baby diapers), a phone charger, hair clip and one of my favorite hair ties.
I have deodorant towelettes, a baby and mama-friendly sunscreen stick, stain remover wipes, makeup remover swabs, and bandaids in the medium compartment.
The smallest compartment is the perfect size to house a small pen, nail file, eyebrow comb (mine are always out of control!), floss picks, and my house keys.
I’ve pared this down a bit since my last update in 2014. Like I said, I don’t necessarily reach for these items on a regular basis, but I feel more comfortable when I’m out and about knowing I have them with me. Everyone’s list is going to be different. I’d love to know what your on-the-go necessities are if you care to share!
