DIY: The Working Girl's Survival Kit

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Hi Sarah! So happy you made it to my channel. So sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope that you get better soon. Makes me happy to know that my videos can bring you some joy while ill. Thank you so very much for letting me know about the typo. I really appreciate that. You know I always believe that it is not what you say to someone but how you say it and you corrected me beautifully and I appreciate that my friend. Nikki

[@azzilene31]

This kit is amazing. I have never seen anyone do something like this. Nikki you are so thoughtful and considerate.

[@sarahhw8110]

Hi Nikki, new to your channel. Currently off work as I am down with a bad throat infection. Your videos are keeping me well entertained! Please don't take offense, this comment is like when you have your flies open you truly appreciate someone tells you-- you wrote "cotten pads" but it is "cotton pads", and I point it out because I can tell you are a very professional and tidy person . Have a nice day Nikki!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Love that you have also been doing this! So happy you are enjoying my videos. Hope you are ready for the weekend :). Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so much! So happy that you like and love that you are subscribed to both my channels! Hope your doing great. NIkki

[@foilhead1]

I'm so going to do this for our salon. We have 7 women and we all just stuff things under the sink in the bathroom. Gonna get them organized! Also great to offer a small kit for our professional clients as well.

[@DanaFromAlaska]

So many great ideas! Inspires me to make a kit of my own. Can I make a couple of suggestions? Hair scrunchies or hair pins. An eyeglass repair kit. A Tide bleach pen. I was an RN manager at a clinic, and I don't know how often the gals came to me whispering "Do you have a tampon or pad?" Maybe if you labeled a pouch that said "Girls Only" you won't offend the guys. Anyway, you are awesome, keep up the great work!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

So glad you liked Kathryn! I will definitely do a video sharing that. Thanks for the suggestion. Most of my previous jobs were in the Social Services field. A lot of my traveling came into play when I got into management due to my staff was located up and down the east coast. But even when I was a case manager/advocate I did a lot of home visits to our clients. Thanks for asking.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Awww! Thanks so much! So glad that you liked. Hope your doing great. Nikki

[@TheBetterMe80]

That is a great idea. I will make a kit like that for my car! I think that everyone should make an overnight bag to keep in the car with at least 1 outfit for each family member. You never know when you may be stranded somewhere away from home, or if you have a spill on your clothing while you are out.

[@Copolia]

Yeahh!!! I too have this, but it's actually a side drawer that I stash all the bits that I (and my colleagues) might need during the working week. I love the idea of having this system be more portable. I also have something similar in my car in addition to the usual first aid kit too :) Awesome as always, Nikki xx

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so much and thanks for the tip! So happy you are enjoying my videos and I hope that you are off to a great weekend. I use to travel a lot with my job so look out for some tips on that in the future on this channel also :). Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so very much! So happy you enjoyed! Hope you are doing great. Nikki

[@vladimbogdanov]

Hi Nikki, one thing I would add is the static spray to the clothing bag thanks for being on youtube always a pleasure to see you.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

So happy to hear you already have this kind of set up also. You know the case really is handy. Thanks so much for watching and hope you have a great day. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed! Hope your doing great. Nikki

[@KISSmartie]

Nikki, you are such a classy lady! How thoughtful of you as a manager. And of course, you organized it with such style. TY for sharing!

[@1Sunrose]

I like the idea of this for my car. I think it will also help to lighten the load I carry in my purse. Great video.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Awww..Thank you! Well I am sure yours is just as handy my friend. Hope your off to a fabulous weekend. Nikki

[@Marloesiiii]

I love it! I always keep a personal survivalkit in my purse. It is super small and I keep a couple of everything in it: aspirins, extra medication, ashesive plasters, tampons, a lighter, lipbalm, hand sanitizer, a nail file, mints, a small handcream. Those are the basics for me, I am a student so I don't really need al those freshen-up things for meetings :)

[@adahir100]

Perfect! great for office or the car, esp as a female I would keep this kit in my car for personal emergencies, and add to it the following: back-up pantyhose, tampons/sanitary napkins, motrin or tylenol, and a large ziplock bag with sweater, hoodie or light jacket, extra pair of shoes and socks (in case have to change a tire or get dirty for some reason), maybe a t-shirt. This is GREAT! I wish I had a carrying case like yours.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

adahir100 Thanks for all the great suggestions. It is so perfect for the car. Hope your doing great. Hugs. Nikki.

[@robmendez8260]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nikki just said NO FEMININE PRODUCTS OR MEDS. ;) Thank me later.

[@thecreativelady]

Great idea! I've got the perfect makeup case to re-purpose for my survival kit because my co-workers always come to me for everything. Thanks Nikki!

[@MSMILLA]

I like this. I work in a hospital as a PCT and also a HHA.So having something in my car for emergencies will be great. I need one for my locker and car.

[@gr8fulgirl7]

Love this! I wish I would have had a kit when I was doing office work! I keep an empty diaper wipes container in my car filled with supplies. I always keep a few snacks in there also ~ thanks for the inspiration! I find myself going through my home saying to myself "what would Nikki do?" keeps me from walking past work that needs done! Lol

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed. Hope you have a fantastic weekend also!

[@mystiklilac]

Nikki I just LOVE this channel! I love your other one too, but this one is being launched just when I need it! Much appreciated. You're awesome girl!

[@kelymknowles1]

We have always carried something similar in our cars. My husband insists on it. Actually, we carry 2. One is a vehicle survival kit that holds everything you would need in an emergency for your car and then we have the family one. I love that he was not "offended" by my and my daughters need for feminine hygiene products and he included those items. BTW-Any man that is "offended" has some serious issues, anyway. I wonder how offended he would be if women did not wear or use hygiene products. Regardless-I can not even tell you how many times that alone has saved our butts! HAHA We also include change of clothes, medicines and bathing suits since we live in Fl. and often will visit friends and family and end up taking a surprise dip! Oh don't forget to keep a list of emergency #'s in case something happens to your phone and an emergency credit card or pre-loaded card or emergency cash. Glad you did this video, Nikki.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

You know Martha that is a great idea. I may go ahead and do that because I have some little baggies. Thanks for the awesome suggestion. Hope your off to a great weekend.

[@AnenInc]

I thought I was the only one that did this. I've been doing this since my high school years and my locker and/desk was the go to place for everything. Thanks for sharing Nikki, I always look forward to your videos.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank just makes me so very happy to know! I am so excited about this channel and excited to share anything and everything I know that can help. Hope your doing great my friend. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so much! So happy you liked. Hope you are doing great my friend. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

So perfect for you to do in your car. You know it also cuts down on the amount of stuff we have to carry in our purse. Hope your having a great week. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thanks Nichcole! So glad you like. Hope your getting ready for a great weekend :).

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Awww..Thank you so much! So glad you liked. You are too sweet. Hope you are doing great. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed. You know I am loving having this in my car. Hope your day is going great. Nikki

[@AbbyAlisia]

Awesome idea! I think I might put one of these together for my home office (I'm a freelance web designer). Once suggestion, if someone has suggested it already would be to separate the pins into different baggies for each size...

[@Jennihmudge]

Brilliant video nikki. Love the work channel also. Im going to do a car survival kit now. Jenn, uk

AWESOME! Great way to kick off your new job/desk organization :). You can get those shout wipes at Target. Walmart should also have them. So happy you found this video helpful my friend. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Melissa you know I loved the fact that I can still use it. I wish I would have thought about putting it in my car a while back..LOL. Hope your off to a great start to your week. Nikki

[@lsanders1913]

This would also be great for college students. I think I'll borrow your idea for graduation gifts this year. Thanks!

[@justkidding7523]

You think of everything. Such fantastic ideas and so considerate as a team leader. I just can’t get enough of you.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

AWESOME! Please let me know how it turns out! So glad I could be helpful. Have a great weekend. Nikki

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Denise...Such great suggestions! Thanks so much! You are so right about the hair bands. That is going to be a must. Adding those to my kit. Also love the small perfume idea! YOU ROCK DENISE!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so much! That is great! You know I so can see you as the go to person at work for so many things. Just from watching your videos I can see you are so knowledgeable and friendly. Love that about you! Hope your doing great. Nikki

So glad you liked! Hope your doing great my friend. Nikki

[@Housetoosmallforme]

Hi Nikki, I'm a mobile hairdresser and keep a similar kit in my car, it carries lots of strange but useful items it even carries a few tea bags, Great idea! Have a great day Lyn x

[@Diva2670]

Hi again, well I finished my kit for my truck. At this time I just used a plastic container. I put baby wipes in there for any spills or wiping up. I added hand sanitizer, bandaids, hair ties and a few other items. I expanded on it a bit as well and added some pet leashes for my dogs and small bag of snacks. I have researched some expandable bowls too for them to add to the kit. I am also thinking of putting in a bottle of water for them as well. I think this will be a ongoing thing. :)

[@cellaraine2]

I sort of have this in my desk at work but I love yours so much better especially in that beautiful case.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you! What a great concept about the overnight bag. Thanks for sharing that tip! Hope your week is going great. The weekend is almost here! :)

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you! So glad you found it helpful and that you will be making one for your car. Please let me know how it turns out. Hope your doing great. Nikki

[@glitteringthesky]

Nikki, you just give me the solution for a little problem that I had. I always try to carry everything with me and of course my bag gets heavy. Now I will buy a make up box like that and keep with all the "work / life savers in my car. And of course I love the idea of keep everything organized in little bags. Thank you so much for this amazing helpful video. Natalia

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thanks for letting me know about this! So true. That is why I am putting mines in my car. Such a handy thing to have around. Nikki

[@MsSassyMT]

Absolutely love this! I just started a new job outside of the home and this would be perfect for my desk. My daughter works far from home and is always on the go so I'm thinking about doing one for her car as well. Didn't know Shout had on-the-go wipes. I I had a small list of things but it just got longer LOL. Thank you so much for this video Nikki!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

PERFECT! Thanks so much for sharing that. I will be looking for these. Hope you are doing great. Nikki

[@Diva2670]

What an amazing idea!!! I am going to do one for work and one to keep in my truck. I just love, love, love your videos.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Thank you so much! Oh you are so ready to roll since you have the makeup case already! Love it! LOL. I bet those light plate switches are shining bright! YOU GO GIRL! Nikki

[@SanctuaryHut]

I like this all in one place. Never thought of that. Thanks Nikki.

What a great idea! This would be perfect in your salon. Love it! Please let me know how it works out when you do it. Hope your doing great. Nikki

[@Karmindd]

Wow! Nikki all of the years I have been working I never thought of putting something like this together. I would carry certain items, but would always lose them. Thanks for this tip.

[@NatureallyJenius]

Great disclosure on medicine and mouthwash! You're so responsible. I've subscribed. Glad I stumbled upon your channel.

[@tobefreemeek]

You have the neatest ideas! I'm going to do this for home - bandaids, small items, etc.

[@michelesatterfield]

This is the best idea Nikki, you always have the most unbelievable ideas and remedies to things I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing! Love it!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

AWESOME! Can't wait to see the pictures! Wish you did not have to go through so much to get it delivered to Australia :(. Thanks for sharing my friend! Nikki

[@spiceness]

Another great video! Need this for my car/work!

[@weloveeyecandy]

Great video Nikki! I love this idea. I will be putting together my survival kit this weekend. Thanks alot!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

Debbie that is such a awesome use for a survival kit. Love that concept! Thanks so much for sharing. You know that would be such a neat gift to give as a bridal shower gift also! Awesome Debbie!

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

AWESOME! If you don't mind, can you share what store you found the axe for girls in? Thanks.

[@marelysmartinez412]

This is great, I will do this for my car...this is a wonderful idea..thanks for these great videos Nikki. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@carolallen3810]

I love the wet ones singles antibacterial wipes. They're individually wrapped and so convenient. I love the Qore24 hand sanitizer spray the travel size is slim and fits perfectly in small spaces. I find that dental floss picks are compact and easy to pass along.

[@travellady68]

Secret has a body spray and dove in walmart for women. This is great even if you don't work. I have mishaps with the kids going on interviews and church. I made one but added comb and brush, hair gel, headband and hair bands. I used a plastic container with a lid a clear sterlite tote. Great ideas Nikki love it

[@Mooommmmeeee]

Nikki has the best ideas! You must have been an awesome manager.

[@AtWorkWithNikki]

You know I have done this before also! Forgot about that tip. Thanks for reminding us about this.

[@glitterchiglam2855]

Great ideas as usual. I am on the road alot with my business and I have a condensed version of this but don't have it put together in such a pretty pkg. I love it - so pretty! One thing I would mention to put in the clothing bag would be "static guard". I truly enjoy watching your vids, my friend. Have a glorious weekend!

[@donnabryant9757]

Awesome! I'm definitely putting this on my to do list. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@elizabethjack595]

All the best way to save all of your working stuff and great idea's and organized and helpful love love love love it and God bless you and your family my friend

[@whackpackadventures]

I have used hairspray for static spray and it works great. when you are in a bind or in a kit like this the hairspray is a good thing ti have on hand.
