Snezana Wood is a fitness enthusiast, mum-of-four and a business owner, looking after 28GO!, a protein bar and powder company with her husband Sam Wood. With so much on her plate every day, Wood doesn’t have much time to get ready for appointments, meetings and events during the work week, which is why her handbag doubles as her second home, filled with practical bits and pieces that help her get through the day (including a kid-sized knife and fork and dummies for her youngest daughter, Harper).
At the launch event for 28GO! into Chemist Warehouse, we asked Wood to share the beauty and wellness hero pieces she keeps in her bag for touch-ups on the go. From a lip liner dupe she loves, to her favourite fragrance, these are the products Wood carries with her daily that keep her feeling great.
The bag she carries it all around in is a “strong and sturdy” Tom Ford canvas tote. “I just load it up,” Wood says. “This is my ‘on-the-run, throw-everything-in’ bag.”
