Bag of Things

[Alumiyum]

-Shine blotting sheets
-Bobby pins and hair ties
-Hairbrush or comb
-Nail polish for touch ups if needed
-Flip flops
-MINTS, not gum
-Pain killer
-Powder if you wear it
-Lip gloss or chapstick
-Safety pins
-Band-Aids
-Notebook/pen
-Mini deodorant stick

If you buy a medium sized make up bag (or empty one you already have) you can fit a few of each thing inside, to keep your bag organized. (A few safety pins, bobby pins, hair ties, shine blotting sheets, pain killer, mints). Then you don't have to dig through the larger things to find what you're looking for.

What not to bring:
-Cell phone, unless you turn it off and keep it off during parties. I'd leave it in my car, but for PNM's who are walking back to dorms at night, you need a phone for safety, so just keep it OFF until the parties are over.
-Cigarettes...You don't want to smell like smoke. If you're a smoker, get some Nicorette to make it between parties, but do not chew the gum during a party.
-Perfume...It's too tempting to put too much on without realizing it and that can get funky.

Instead of actual perfume, if you still wanted to reapply a scent, you should bring body spray. It'll freshen you up with a scent, but it's not overpowering like perfume is. It's also less likely that one will "overdose," if you will, on body spray.

Meh not sure if I agree with this. Body spray can be just as potent. I had a group of PNMs one year that happened to discover Love Spell by Victoria's Secret. And the whole group quickly ended up reeking. Horribly.

If you want to bring a scent I recommend getting a rollerball version of your perfume. It's harder to put too much on and spread it all over that way. And do NOT reapply between every party. You get used to the scent you're wearing and think others can't smell it, but they can.
