Locker Emergency Kit

 

You’ve finally gotten into the swing of things at school, but you’ve been caught off guard once or twice by a paper cut, run in your tights or yikes—a dreaded period emergency! Fear not, next time you'll be prepared with this Locker Emergency Kit for whatever the day might throw at ya!


What ya need:

One super cute cosmetic bag, or be more discrete and stick with a brown paper bag or zipper-sealed baggie.

A packet of safety pins—for tears in your shirt, pants or dress.

A handful of bandaids—for paper cuts, hang nails and minor boo-boos.

Travel toothbrush and toothpaste—in case you ran outta the house without brushing or in case you opted for the garlic chicken at lunchtime!

Floss—for spinach-in-your-teeth nightmares!

Extra pair of undies—in case you have a period accident.

Handful of hair ties and a headband—for bad hair days, or for after P.E. class.

Tampons and/or pads—these are great to have on hand for any girl, even if you haven’t yet had your period. It’s best to be prepared!
 
Other important things to note:


Put all these emergency fixers in your locker emergency kit bag and stick it somewhere safe in your locker or bookbag. Add anything you think you might need throughout the school year.


Stay away from adding pills or medication bottles to your fix-it kit though, since most schools have strict rules against students medicating themselves for headaches and period pains, and require you see the school nurse. Chances are, one of your friends or you are going to have a beauty emergency at some point so get ready to be the most in-demand diva at school!

GREAT IDEA!!!
As soon as I finished reading this,I got started on mine and even put in some of my own ideas!
-Bobby pins
-Hair ties
-Lipgloss
-Chapstick
-Bandaids
-Perfume
-Lotion
-Mini nail polish
-Mini hair brush
-Hand sanatizer

I know,I know!It's alot!But everything comes in handy!I don't have my period yet,only a tiny bit of discarge,so I don't have undies,pads or tampons in my kit!!I'm in third grade!I can carry this in my backpack!I'm excited because I'll be prepared!!


My bag is super cute!It was on sale!It's from Claire's,an the original price was $12 and I got it on sale for $7.50!!!It's awesome.It's red and has a superly duperly SUUUPER long chain and the purse part is rather small and has a quilted design and silver metal hearts!!Sound cute?Well,it is!Bye!P.S. You should make your own kit!!!

A REALLY GOOD THING TO HAVE IS LOTION, AIR FRESHENER, DEODARANT, BODY SPRAY OR PERFUME,LIPGLOSS,RUBBER BANDS FOR UR HAIR,AND A BRUSH. JUST IN CASE U NEED IT BECAUSE U MIGHT GET PE IN THE MORNING. I HAVE IT 5TH PERIOD AND I STILL USE THEM.

dasoccerbomb101 on 11/11/2009 8:40:29 PM

hi my names danielle and i have had this white stuff in my underwear sometimes its jelly like and sometimes its pure liquid. Does this have anything to do with hygene? Does the discharge have to turn from white to brown before you have your period? Do you think i am close to having it? how do i carry pads and stuff around with me if i dont carry a purse and dont have big enough pockets?

 

Hey girl! It's a good sign you'll be getting your period soon. It's just discharge though, not your period. Be patient, you'll get it soon. It might be a good idea to carry around a small purse or a clutch to stash some pads in!

MOD!!!!! I have had my period for over a year now and i still have a discharge(that white stuff) when im off my period. is that normal?plz help

 

Hey girl! Yep, pretty normal. If you're really concerned, a routine check up at the doc would be something to look in to !

Hey girl, make a new account, then send an email, with your username but say you forgot your password. Once you get your password, delete the old account.

yellowducky2713 on 11/8/2009 2:59:40 PM

This is such a great idea!

In my emergency kit is:
Chapstick
Bandaids
Tissues
Lipgloss
Hand Sanitizer: Great for flu season!
Cough Drops
Small water bottle (remember to clean it!)
Hair brush
Ponytails and hairbands-they come in handy!

If you go to a store that sells locker supplies, go and buy a small, magnetic container. Contain all your supplies in there. If you don't want that or your school doesn't allow it buy a small, cute cosmetic bag.

Such a great idea!

askme923 on 10/27/2009 8:13:48 PM

I have alot of good stuff in my locker. It's my first year and I am prepared. I have the following:
Pads

Lint roller

You may think this is alot but I had a art mishap and it saved me. Make sure this is in your locker!! Smile

sarajane on 10/24/2009 6:42:37 PM

Hey, so today was a big homecoming game that i was supposed to cheer at, even though school is cancelled until Monday (due to some many students absent). Anyways, I'm totally sick and MAD because I'm more than sure my semi-crush (who goes to the opposing team's school) was there! I really want to reconnect with him considering I haven't seen him for a month (when I felt a huuuge connection). He doesn't have myspace, facebook, or anything, but he has a cell. I don't have texting yet, but how can we talk/hang out without being alone?
Help!

 

Hey babe, if you have his number why not give him a phone-call?

Hey girlie,

 

You can't help the fact that this guy likes you, so try not to feel guilty. Talk to your friend and explain to her that you think he likes you but make it clear that you don't like him.

The Shugo Chara Club on 10/20/2009 9:00:51 PM

Hey chicas!


Do you have a friend who likes Shugo Chara or you like Shugo Chara yourself?

Ask them to join The Shugo Chara Club or join yourself!

I'm sorry to say this, but there are no more staff positions open. Thank you to all of my staff members!

What is The Shugo Chara Club?? It's a fan club for a new (opened in 2008) and very cute anime series. There are currently 3 seasons out, Shugo Chara!, Shugo Chara Doki!, and Shugo Chara Party! The fourth episode of Shugo Chara Party! will be released on October 22nd in America. I'm not sure when it will be in the UK.

The very fun part of this club is that you have teams and can earn points. The Trivigurl will post questions on each team page, and each team that guesses it right gets a point. The final points will be posted on Friday! (I think.).

I'm sure I haven't explained what Shugo Chara really is, and I couldn't really give the summary. If you'd like to, would you take the time to look it up on Wikipedia? Thank You!

I have time to post the teams for you.
The Amu Team:2 members
The Tadase Team:EMPTY
The Yaya Team:EMPTY
The Kukai Team:EMPTY
The Nadeshiko/Nagi Team:EMPTY
The Utau Team: Currently Under Construction
The Ikuto Team :3 Currently Under Construction


Unfortunately, I don't have enough space for Kairi and Rima. Frown


Please check this anime out and join the club! I have already had someone who hasn't known what this is, they looked it up, and LOVED it!!!

Neither did I, and then I LOVED this! Smile

Please look at this! Thnx so much!

Me & my bgf have been best friends for a year now. He's always super nice to me, stands up for me, looks at me alot, smiles, & playfully teases me a lot. He's 2 years older, but we hang out almost every week. I like him a lot, & he seems like he likes me too. But last time I told him I liked him he didn't like me. But this time it seems like he really likes me. He calls me little nicknames, & calls a lot. But I'm worried he won't like me again. What should I do? :/




Hey girl! You can try talking to him again. Feel out your sitch a little more by hinting you might like him. Be confident and go for it, chick!

HELP!




Hey girl! No worries, if it's always been irregular. It takes a while to get regulated while you are still growing and developing! Stressin' will only make it more late!

I have had depression before, buts it long gone now. My doctor says I should tell someone how I feel and what im thinking to prevent it from starting up again. But, i hate telling people because after I do i feel *blah* about it and wish I never even said anything. when I tell people if im hurt or dont feel good, i *feel* like a spoiled brat, who is a cry baby and wants attention. This is stupid to but, I hate telling myself its going to be okay or im going to get through this, like *talking* in my head, like a consious? (excuse my spelling) What can I do? ~Thanks~




hey girl! Try writing down how you feel in a journal. Whenever you feel like it just scribble down how you feel that day or what made you happy or upset!

i have blonde hair(which i LOVE!) but its reallllly fine. towards this time of the year it always gets staticy. its annoying when your sitting in class and your hair looks like its growing. any advice on how to keep my hair looking "normal"




Hey babe, 




My hair is fine and does the same thing. It drives me crazy!  Make sure that you are using conditioner on a regular basis. Also, avoid using static-promoting appliances like blow dryers or straighteners. You could also try using a small, small amount of lotion (rub it in between your hands and then over the top of your head) or a bit of hairspray to tame down the static electricity.

Hey girl! Get some red and black facepaint to draw the lines under your eyes the way Indians did... also wear some eyeliner and mascara for a thick, dark eye look.

Have fun!

Hey girl! Looks like you'll just have to deal with it. Sometimes the strictest teachers are the most beneficial to you in the long run. You could come to really appreciate him. Follow his rules and do your best. If there is really a problem, you can try talking to him in private!
