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

    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!

    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

    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!

  • @adahir100
    @adahir100 9 років тому +9

    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

    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

    @Marloesiiii 11 років тому +1

    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 :)

  • @AnenInc
    @AnenInc 11 років тому

    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

    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.

  • @Copolia
    @Copolia 11 років тому +1

    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
    @AtWorkWithNikki  11 років тому

    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.

    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!

    @AbbyAlisia 11 років тому +1

    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...

  • @Diva2670
    @Diva2670 11 років тому

    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.

  • @TheBetterMe80
    @TheBetterMe80 11 років тому +1

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. :)
