How to Build the Ultimate "Just in Case" Kit

Good morning, Glow Girls! It’s your Girl Talk Big Sis here… and today, we’re talking about something every girl needs: a “Just in Case” Kit!

Let’s be honest. Life loves surprises.

One minute you’re heading to maths class, the next you’ve got a headache, a broken hair tie, lip balm that mysteriously disappeared, or your period decides today is the day.

That’s why every girl needs a “Just in Case” Kit.

Think of it as your tiny emergency bag that’s ready for whatever the day throws at you. It doesn’t need to be huge or heavy — a cute little pouch that fits inside your school bag is all you need.

So, what goes inside? Let’s spill the essentials…

Period Essentials

Start with a couple of pads, even if you haven’t had your first period yet. Keeping a few on hand means you’ll always be prepared, whether it’s for you or a friend who suddenly needs one.

And while we’re talking periods, pack a spare pair of underwear too. It might sound a little funny now, but trust your Girl Talk Big Sis — future you will be very grateful if you ever have a leak or spill.

Hair SOS

A cute hair clip and a scrunchie are absolute must-haves.

Whether you need to quickly tie your hair back for sport, fix a messy ponytail or help out a friend, you’ll be so glad you packed them.

Because sometimes, a bad hair day is simply not on the schedule.

Freshen-Up Favourites

A small packet of tissues and a few gentle wipes are perfect for little spills, sticky hands or quick freshen-ups during the day.

And don’t forget lip balm. Dry lips always seem to appear at the worst possible time, and a quick swipe can make you feel a whole lot better.

After-Sport Fresh-Up

After sport or PE, it’s a great idea to freshen up with your Glow & Go Bubble Face Wash.

Washing away sweat, sunscreen and dirt can help keep your skin feeling fresh and happy before you head back to class.

Sunscreen Is Always a Good Idea

And Glow Girls, we have to talk about sun protection.

Your face can be exposed to the sun every day, even when it’s cloudy, so keeping your Glow & Go Sunscreen handy makes it easy to protect your skin before lunch, after sport or whenever you need a top-up.

Pop it in your backpack and you’ll always have it when you need it.

A Little Extra

If your school allows it, hand sanitiser is another handy addition. It’s perfect before lunch or after art class when your hands have mysteriously collected a little bit of everything.

Something That Makes You Smile

And finally, add one little thing that simply makes you happy.

It could be a favourite hair clip, a positive note from Mum, a tiny mirror, a friendship bracelet or even a small piece of chocolate for those extra-long days.

The best part about a Just in Case Kit isn’t actually what’s inside.

It’s how it makes you feel.

Knowing you’re prepared can give you a little boost of confidence — and that’s something you can carry with you every single day.

Your Glow Girl Starter Pack

Looking for an easy way to get started? Our Glow & Go Yes Glow Period Packs are packed with thoughtful essentials to help you feel prepared, confident and ready for whatever comes your way.

Pair them with your Glow & Go Face Wash and Glow & Go Sunscreen, and you’ll have some of your everyday essentials ready to go.

Simply pop them into your backpack and you’re set for the day.

Remember, Glow Girls: being prepared isn’t about expecting something to go wrong. It’s about knowing you’ve got everything you need if it does.

And between you and me… that’s a pretty good secret to have.

xoxo,
Your Girl Talk Big Sis 💕
