Hey guys!
I'm so sorry that it has been a while since I have posted but things have been very busy here as I have been getting ready/recovering from surgery! I am very thankful that everything went well and I am now resting at home.
When packing for my hospital stay, I honestly had no idea what to bring. I have never stayed in hospital for anything more than a day and I just had no idea what I would need. I ended up over-packing and not even touching a lot of the stuff I bought. So here is my ultimate packing guide for staying in hospital.
1. Fuzzy Robe: my doctors really liked to get me up and moving around, so a fluffy robe was definitely necessary over my hospital gown!
2. Wet Hair Brush: on a usual day, my hair is a nightmare. Add a couple days without washing + a serious case of bed head and you get an unmanageable mane. The wetbrush is a lifesaver to keep the mane at least a little more manageable.
3. Cozy Slippers: for those late-night bathroom runs
4. Ipad: (stocked with favorite shows/a good book) a must-have between naps
5. Face/Body Moisturizer: skin hair and nails all go when you are sick, so keeping skin nice and moisturized is essential. I've heard great things about this moisturizer and have been dying to try it out.
6. Fun Cushion: for propping up, leaning, hugging etc.
7. Hair Bands: an essential to keep the mane under control/out of the way
8. Soft Sweats: Probably the only real clothes you will need, just the one pair is perfect for getting to/from the hospital.
9. Oversized Top: Ditto
10. Lip Balm: my lips got really chapped, so a lip balm/scrub was well utilized
11. Cushy Blanket: my favorite item by far! Made my hospital bed seem more like home.
12. Body Wash/Shampoo: this two-in-one product is perfect as it is easy and doesn't take up space.

Thank you guys for checking out my blog. I hope you enjoyed reading it! I would love to know if you guys have any ideas/requests for an upcoming post. What is one item that you take everywhere with you?

Thanks for the practical hospital list. I don't think it would have occurred to me to take a fuzzy robe or or cushy blanket. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your blog with the Reese Witherspoon collection and your more affordable lookalikes. I'd love to see more blogs like that one. Hope you're feeling better!
