When date night extends after midnight
You’ve been dating for a while now. The day is fast approaching, you can feel it! Maybe tonight’s the night? Maybe, after dinner and a movie, he’ll ask you if you want to come up… and stay the night?
You don’t want to be caught off guard. But on the other hand, landing at your beau’s place with a suitcase to last you a week could freak him out just a tad. Below, here are some essentials to slip into your bag, just in case…
1. Condoms. You and only you are responsible for your sexual health! Don’t expect sweetie to come equipped. Leave the house with ample protection!

2. Spray deodorant. You may not have time to take a shower, but at least you’ll feel fresh and dry.

3. Toothbrush. So you won’t have to worry about your breath the morning after.

4. Makeup remover wipes. Because you probably don’t want to be sporting raccoon eyes come morning!

5. Dry shampoo. Heading to work the next day? Apply some on your roots, put your hair in a ponytail and you’re set.
Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo, $28.50 at hair salons and online.
6. A phone charger. He may be the one, but this is just one of those things you’ll never agree on. He’s team Androïd and you’re team iOS. He can’t help you now!
