I need stuff to be where I use it. Which means I need a lot of duplicate supplies for upstairs and downstairs. I have two tubes of toothpaste in the same bathroom: one in the shower, one out.
Oh, I do this too. We have 3 showers so I have shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash in each one. I usually get the large bottles and use travel sized ones in the showers, then refill as needed.
Nail files and emery boards. Got a diamond grit file in my wallet, emery boards all over the house and in the car. Also, bicycle tire levers. I seem to lose them, buy a new set, then find the old set.

I only have 2 lip balms; one for next to the bed and the other on my computer desk (where I spend most of my time). I’m weird about lip balms though, if I am remotely sick with anything, the lip balm gets tossed and I get a new one when I’m not sick anymore. Even if it’s barely used, it’s straight into the trash. After a long time of getting strep throat at least twice a year, I’m paranoid about lip balm holding onto bacteria like that.
Not sure if it’s girl math, but if my purse isn’t big enough to hold a book, it’s not worth having. I have exactly one small purse that would still fit a small paperback and one small black purse for fancy dinners, but everything else is big enough for a larger paperback or hardcover book.
I found lip balm to be a self-fulfilling need because without it my lips are fine but with it requires more lip balm. Lip balm orabora.
That’s the trap I’ve been in for 25 years. When I try to go without I have chapped lip hell so I now can’t be without it.
I do indeed have 2 lipbalms for each bag in use, 1 in the car and 2 spare.

In theory I have one lip balm that I try to keep in the trousers I am wearing. However I keep losing it, buying new one, finding the old one, putting the old one in a bag as a “spare”, losing the new one…
That’s weirdly affirming, I actually have three of these and it would be four if I had a car. Although these days I also like to use a sparkly lip oil instead.
