Our first aid kit is kept in a tri-fold travel organizer bag I purchased from Thirty One several years ago. Unfortunately, they no longer have this style but they have some that are similar. Once we are on board, I hang it on the bathroom door using a command strip. Basic necessities that I take on a cruise are:

Tylenol

Advis

Tylenol PM

Aspirin

Excedrin Migraine

Band Aids

Hydrocortisone cream

A & D ointment

Athletes foot clotrimazole creame

Absorbine jr back patch pain relief

Cold Hot extra strength medicated patch

Biofreeze

Daytime and Night time cold & flu

Nasal allergy spray

Vitamin C drops

Cough drops

Pepto Bismol

Laxative

Antacid

Uriinary pain relief

Sore throat oral anesthetic spray

Cough syrum

Our prescribed medications are kept separately.

I also have a small first aid kit I keep in my purse that contains band aids, hydrocortisone cream, and my inhaler.

Now for the necessities of life, toiletries and cosmetics. There is a lot to take into consideration when I start gathering all the things. I do my best to keep things separate according to they type. For example, hair products are separate from face products and suntan lotions. Some lotions are in large bottles and will be put into smaller containers in an attempt to save space. I tend to keep the suntan lotions and after sun lotions in their own bag along with the towel holders and our waterproof cases for our phones.

The bag I have designated for hair care contains the normal stuff. The bag I use is large enough to fit a curling iron and/or flat iron in. Since I do not use those tools, this bag will also double for some other bathroom products to be determined later.

Now if you will excuse me, I have more things to wash, pack, and lists to make!!! Not to mention craft projects to start and complete.
