3. Hand sanitizer.
During
cold and flu season (…which seems to be every season in college!) it’s
always a good idea to have hand sanitizer in your bag. On an average
day, we touch dirty doorknobs, use germ-filled bathrooms, encounter
coughs and sneezes, prepare food and eat, and sit at tables and desks
used by many, many students before us. And, since we’re constantly on
the go, few of us have time to take a hand-washing break after each
class.
The solution, of course, is ultra-portable hand sanitizer
which uses alcohol or other chemicals to disinfect and cleanse as
needed. Far beyond the days of Purel gel, manufacturers now often hand
sanitizers in scented spray, lotion, and foam forms that do double duty
by killing germs and moisturizing. An item that keep you pretty
and healthy? A definite CF do!
4. Hair ties.
Have
long hair? Keep a hair tie or two in your bag! They’re great for those
moments when you decide you want to put your hair up on the go like
going to the gym or keeping hair out of your face during an exam.
They
also have many other uses – In a pinch, a hair tie can function as a
rubber band to hold school supplies together, cinch regular bra straps
into a racer back, or provide secure closure for an open bag or
container. I’ve even heard of girls attempting to squeeze into their
skinniest jeans creating an accommodating “loop” with a hair tie woven
through their button holes and then secured to the buttons for an extra
inch!
From a fashion standpoint, many companies are making stylish
alternatives to simple banded and scrunchy styles by offering bands
that double as bracelets or hair accessories.
