Be Prepared For Anything With These Packing Ideas

Maybe you hit snooze one too many times and don’t have a chance to grab breakfast, or maybe that certain someone you’ve been crushing on asks you to catch a movie after school.

Good news or bad news, you might not feel ready for everything life throws at you. A good DIY kit can help you be prepared by making sure you have small things on hand that can make a big difference in how you feel. Here are four kit ideas for every occasion so that when life gives you lemons or lemonade, you can seize the moment.

Have a chance to hang out with your crush? You can keep a Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack stocked with essential items in your locker or your backpack, so that you’re ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Make sure your pack is stocked with:

●    Breath mints
