Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

What is the most stressful thing about going out (second only to who you will be making out with at the bar, and are your SPANX showing)? It’s packing all your shit in to that Keebler Elf-sized clutch bag. Yes, it’s conveniently smaller than your purse, and easier to schlep around frat row downtown, but the clutch is also a pain in the ass when it comes to fitting all your essentials (cell phone, wallet, keys, lip gloss, etc.).

Need more cheat sheets? We’ve got all your lipstick questions answered, find out how to get that “natural” brow look, and see the five beauty products to splurge on (and five to buy on the cheap).
