What to pack?

Illustration by Garance Dore

All my gfs were so excited to start packing their hospital bags the day they reached week #35… me, i’m still procrastinating. Until my ob-gyn started nagging me yesterday. It’s not that hard really… i just need to decide which skincare & beauty products to go into my bag! Should I try some of those samples that i’ve been hoarding (perfect size for a 2-day stay!), or should I pack my staples as a form of comfort??? Need to also consider that I might not want to get out of bed that much…. decisions, decisions!

What would be the one (or 10) thing in your beauty bag that you can’t live without??
