An all-time favorite, must have item is Chapstick (the original, of course!) It can be used for so many things other than keeping your lips dewy and moist. It can unstick a stuck zipper, condition your cuticles, and be used to remove a stuck ring from your finger.
In a pinch it can also remove stubborn eye makeup and, when run lightly along the edge of a drawer or sliding door runner, it can quiet the most annoying squeaks and scrubs. It is a great substitution for little girls when they insist on trying out your $15.00 tube of lipstick only to have it smeared all over a tiny face, or worse, the mirror.
Buy several tubes and keep handy in the bathroom, the kitchen drawer, your purse and in your daughter’s purse (because you know she will just come and steal yours). The only place I absolutely do not recommend stashing a tube is, of course, in the car. For obviously, heat-related reasons.
