I've been asked for links to items shown in my videos so I'm working on a list. Some items are no longer sold by the sellers I purchased from so I will try to find alternatives. I haven't been able to find the grey pouch in this video yet but below are ones with the same layout but different fabric.
Baona/Boona Pouches
These are the PU leather ones I show towards the end of the video. They come in grey and black and single and double layer.

Oh my gosh, I’ve waited a decade for this video. Your original video is something I find a lot of comfort in for some reason and I go back to it all the time (since I was like 11 years old). I’ve wondered about an updated one for years now. Thank you for making this!!!

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

That was such a special message to read, thank you so much ❤ I'm so happy to hear you still get something out of it. Sorry it's taken me so long!

[@soakhkwn1646]

@@AverageZoeBlogsNo need to apologize for the time! Life gets so busy. 🤍 I’ve struggled with mental illnesses and chronic illnesses my whole life so I found that video really helpful because it taught/encouraged me to make my own. I’ve carried one ever since and always feel so much better knowing I have it

[@LP-jn4tw]

@@AverageZoeBlogs Your original video was what opened my eyes to the fact i need to carry things with me that i or my wife might need to be prepared. It's almost a hobby now, always trying to improve it. Thanks! 🙂

Same here.

I still have my little scissors, which I bought aftr watching that video, which is still one of my favourites!

[@TabbieStJean]

I remember watching these kinds of videos because they helped me relax. In my opinion, these are the OG ASMR

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Do I need to look into ASMR and give it a try or just do what I'm doing 🤔😂

Hi Zoe. You were ahead of your time with the Female EDC. Great to see you here. Thanks for the update.

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Hi, what a great comment. That means so much to me to read it. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@harunomiya]

This the most compact and organized EDC that I've seen. I'm very interested in that pill box and looking forward to the list of all the items. Thanks for sharing.

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Thank you so much 😊 I'm pretty sure the pill box was from AliExpress, a mini fishing tackle box I think. I must get on with the list! It's going to be long 😱

[@-Biteme-]

The original is still on of my favorite videos of all time! I still watch it to this day haha! So happy you’ve made an updated version! ☺️💜

Thank you so much, that's really encouraging to read! Glad you've enjoyed the update! 😊💜

Thank you for the sharing this! Your original video was super helpful to me. It’s so nice to see women sharing their EDCs.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, it means a lot. I've been purposely avoiding watching EDC videos because I took so much time out and it made me sad but I definitely enjoy them. Are there any KZbinrs you recommend?

[@youwouldntknowme7232]

Love the update! Very practical and functional. Your original video is what introduced me to EDC bags and emergency preparedness. I've watched your old video several times. It's nice to find videos with a womans perspective, as most of these videos are made by guys. While they are nice, we have different needs. I cant wait to see your future videos. Thank you for sharing.😊

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Thank you so much for your comment, it makes me want to keep on uploading. I've really struggled but when I hear that you've been able to get something out of it, it makes it all worthwhile 😊

[@bioniclaura]

The yelp I made when I saw this video come up! So lovely to see you back. I absolutely love your videos and go back to them all the time. Great to see this update, you have so many good ideas on what to take. I need to put ear ring backs into my kit.

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Ooh that's so nice to hear! Thank you so much for all your kind words. Encouragement to upload more. I have so many ideas to share, I've just struggled with executing. Maybe I could print your comment out and stick it to my memo board for the days I'm doubting myself 😊

omg, i found your original Female OCD EDC video just a few weeks ago after watching many EDC videos in my research to make mine better. And yours was the most comprehensive but inexpensive. Thanks for sharing your great EDC items, it’s definitely helped!

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Thank you for such an encouraging comment. You've really made me smile! Yep I try to keep things inexpensive, you don't need to spend a fortune to be prepared. Glad it helped!

[@chaycee.crawford5033]

literally a decade later i am 21 now, so I must have been 11 then, (was diagnosed with OCD at 19 lmao how did my parents not notice). i have your older videos saved to a playlist that i watch when i need to relax, thank you so much for the update! miss the pink :(

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

That is so sweet, thank you for your comment. I was diagnosed with OCD much later in life, I hope your relatively early diagnosis makes your life easier to understand and cope. Do you like rose gold? I have some future videos with that colour theme.

[@cindatelis]

Please make a video where you show all your homemade beauty items. Would love that!

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

It's funny you ask because I still use them all these years later. I will try to make some for you soon

Thank you very much and thank you for watching! I love it when I find someone to watch on KZbin that I feel has gone into my brain and thinks so alike to me. Would you consider uploading your kit? I would love to see ❤️ I don't need anymore of those vials at the moment but I'm always being asked where to buy them so hopefully that will help someone else.

[@paigalina129]

An alternative to oil blotting sheets is toilet seat covers they work like a charm in a pinch.

Good to know, I actually have some. Just won't use them after I've covered the toilet seat 🤮🤣

Mouthwash tabs may have to be a new addition to my edc for me. Your original video gave me so many ideas for what i been carrying around with me! Thank u!

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

I love both the mouthwash and toothpaste tabs. The taste does take getting used to but they leave your mouth so fresh. You don't have to worry about liquids if you're flying and they take up such little space. I'm so pleased my original video helped give you ideas. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you for your lovely comment. I've been trying to find a link for you but haven't been able to find one yet. I'm pretty sure I bought it from AliExpress and used the search term 'fishing tackle box' or something similar. If I find it I will of course share.

Thank you! I'm working on links but a lot of the things are difficult to find or no longer available from the sellers I bought from.

Hi Zoe. I had been waiting for an update on your EDC for years and I am glad you finally got one! You were the reason why I have been hooked to the women EDC thing LOL! Where did you get your pouch? And your pill case? Is the pouch brand name Boona? I am looking for one at Amazon now and the pill case that is like yours but i couldn’t find one. I want one with partitions and small enough but can contain a lot of medicine

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Hi, thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ I bought the pouch a few years ago from AliExpress but I haven't seen them with that fabric since. I can give you the link to the faux leather version if you want. I've seen the name spelt Boona mostly but also Baona which makes it hard to search. I've recently found the company's website and it is Baona but I think you will find it as Boona on Amazon etc. I wish they were easier to find because I have quite a collection now and there's one specific one I really want to add. Contemplating reaching out to them for stockists. The little pill case is another thing I haven't been able to find for sale and I will keep looking. I know when I bought it I used the search term 'fishing tackle box' or something similar.

You need to add some band-aid and they have toothpaste that are little mint size but they aren't mints they are real toothpaste

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Thank you for your suggestions. I have band-aids in the first aid pouch, I probably called them plasters because that's what we call them in the UK. Also in the 'Meds & Dental' case I have toothpaste and mouthwash tablets. They are great, mine are from Georganics.

[@michellemedici5039]

need to add links!

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

There are so many items in there! Some I've had for so long I don't even know if they are still available. I've been contemplating creating some sort of list and making it available somewhere but it might take me a little while. Do you think that would be a good idea? Also I live in England and I know some of the items wouldn't be available worldwide. If there is anything specific you would like to know where it came from in the meantime just ask and I will try my best to find you a link.

[@michellemedici5039]

@@AverageZoeBlogs Yes you should definitely make a list! I would love to know where it's all from, but the razor, lint roller, and bottles that hold the dry shampoo would be great!
