I’ve sung the praises of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm before, but since I just emptied what seems to be my 400th jar of this stuff, I thought it was time for a reprise. It’s a cleanser that I absolutely swear by for ridding your skin of makeup and general grime that can build up over the course of the day. I don’t even know if “cleanse” is the right word this stuff works so well—it dissolves everything you don’t want on your face and washes it blissfully away… while also moisturizing your skin. For a deeper dive into cleansing (I have strong opinions on how to do it right), you can check out my post entirely dedicated to the topic of how to properly clean your face. AND, if you’re a fan of this Elemis cleansing balm or if you’re interested in giving it a try, the Elemis team was nice enough to offer my readers an amazing offer: by going to this page, you can get a FREE Deluxe Travel Size Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm with a luxury cleansing cloth. You pay only $5 shipping (and taxes, where applicable). Get ’em while they’re hot!

You know what’s fun? Being prepared. I don’t know why, but if things are going to go wrong, they’ll definitely wait until I’m standing (sweating) on a subway platform while there’s a train delay and the heel of my shoe is broken and I’ve just accidentally rubbed up against a gross mystery substance that may or may not cause my slow and painful death. But fear not! There are ways to stay prepared for all kinds of unpleasant eventualities, and it just so happens your favorite work bag (or mine) is big enough to hold them all.
Below, a full list of the commute essentials, most likely found in my bag on any given day of the week. What are the ever-present items you keep in your work bag and tote around everywhere? Comment below, because isn’t every list a work in progress? Lol. That was funny. Was that funny? I can’t tell, I’m too pregnant.
