Everything a man should carry in his ” everyday bag”
Just like women, you need to start carrying everything + the kitchen sink.
Your tight pockets that only have room for your phone and wallet isn’t just going to do it for you. There is so much you need to carry when juggling multiple ventures & the liveliness of your occupation. Let our guidance help fill your new Hershel of all the “on demands”.
- Mini Hairspray & Comb
If you really be
lieve the moment you step out of your flat, that staggering impressive flow is going to stay untouchable, considering the spotlight is on you at all times, it just won’t happen. The reason why I am saying mini is most hairsprays come in super-size unless you have become the new leading man and the prima donna starlet, then you get an easy pass. You’ll want to save the extra room. Trust me, you will still be the dude of the hour.
- Headphones
Considering most have quite the travel distance each day or you’re just not in the mood to speak with anyone that passes by on your path during these journey’s ( totally understandable especially the subway). You will need a pair of these to quickly throw in your bag. Treat yourself to a new iTunes card? We can supply you with a playlist, due to these songs being so last year, no worries we will update you shortly.

3. Gum/ Mints
Bad breath isn’t sexy, no really it isn’t. Ordering a juicy medium rare steak ( I really have no clue , I am vegan) or a burger with a coffee is matchless for lunch but maybe not so much for your coworkers, that have to pretend nothing has affected them from 9-5. To be the ultimate cavalier and man of honor, pop a mint in for everyone’s well being.
4. Phone Charger/ Battery Pack
With most of us, apple, iPhone users, you know at some point the juice of your battery is the anthem of drop it like it’s hot. You leave coolheaded with a satisfying 100%, 20 minutes later and you just reached the subway going eastbound to downtown, your phone is already at 50%. If your lucky enough to find an outlet that is complimentary, then you don’t have much to be concerned about. Let’s just say you are out at a Blue Jays game and later decide to go out for a bite. Which leads to running around town at 1:00 in the morning with friend (s) and your phone dies. Plus, you have no chance to call(say what no payphones?) no cab, and everyone went home.( trains stop at 1:30am in Toronto). Easily plug in your phone charger into your battery pack that you can purchase at Best Buy for around $25 dollars. I purchased mine last summer so prices may have changed. Also,
if you haven’t picked up on why I was so detailed, it’s because it happened to me without having a battery pack. Thankfully a cab was sitting outside the subway station to take me home safely. Don’t do me.
- Your Camera
I don’t exactly know how many of you are the total artsy dude but its best to say if you have invested in one, carry it around like it’s your newborn baby. But wait, an iPhone camera can work you say, no! Most of the time when i have tried to take a sick photo without a proper camera, the quality when slapping a filter on just isn’t there. Taking a photo from a distance and cropping it later can take more time to edit with the possibility of your face being shaded and the pixels are lacking. VSCO CAM can work wonders, but let me remind you it isn’t superman to save your day.
6. Deodorant/ Travel size Cologne.
Just like bad breath isn’t sexy neither is smelling like you ran your morning 5K. Both of course, go hand and hand, so it’s only common sense to have both squeezed in between your other essentials. Both you technically can find in travel sizes, which means less room being filled.
Remember not to overload on the cologne either, a few spritz behind the ear is enough or you can shimmy through. If you do shimmy then please send a video of that on Instagram, por favor.
