Things To Keep In Your Bag If You're Schvitzing All The Time

I run hot. In the winter, in the summer, doesn’t matter, I am experiencing a life-long hot flash that never seems to cease unless I’m standing in the walk-in freezer of a convenience store. I run sweaty too. Which doesn’t always come with running hot, but in my case does, because the universe loves me.

I also live in the beautiful city of Philadelphia, which is as full of culture as it is humidity. And so I often find myself at a free outdoor concert or mile-long food festival, with the sun in my eyes, moisture in the air and perspiration everywhere.

At a recent outdoor art fest, I realized the sheer inadequacy of the contents of my summer bag and graciously accepted a body wipe from a kind stranger when waiting in line for the bathrooms. I immediately went home and equipped myself with everything one needs when they run hot and sweaty, and really, everything I’ve seen iconic women use in the city. They’re good for summer, sure, but really, for keeping you less sweaty all year.

And now, in the spirit of being a good neighbor, I will share my list with you.
