Thick foundation – to cover those break-outs of middle-aged acne or Rosacea triggered by all that intense red wine drinking exercise you’ve done recently.
A timer – to make sure you don’t digress from your daily routine of a) pajamas by 3pm b) wine by 5pm, and c) bed by 9pm.

Aldi trolley coin – because one day… they will bring their Churros back.
A backpacker’s expanding travel towel -for hot flushes.
Spanx – in case you bump into another soulmate.
Tweezers – for those rogue hairs that sprout when you’re away from home and are nurtured by office lighting.
A pacifier – to remind you that life isn’t that bad.
Snacks – for those hunger emergencies in between snacks.
A hip flask – for your morning gin.
A mini fan – because…menopause.
Perfume – because you might be invisible, but you can still knock them dead with your scent.
Condom – because you just never know
