I carry a lot of stuff in my purse – not just the usual cell phone, wallet, and lip gloss, but all the stuff I’ve mentioned over the last week(‘s worth of entries) and more. Hand lotion, hand sanitizer, a purse hook, a mirror, dental floss, ear plugs, argan oil (good for hair and skin touch ups), mascara, tweezers, a nail file, nail clippers, sunglasses, Shout wipes, my Kindle, elbow grease – anything I have been out and needed and not had, I have added to my purse arsenal. I’m always jealous of women who can carry just a little wallet or clutch everywhere and have that be everything they need, but I am not that woman – I am, for lack of a better term, high-maintenance. I am also, however, the woman those women turn to when they need a tampon or a tissue or a Tylenol. And I’m always happy to oblige.
What you carry in your purse is highly personal and totally personalized. I hope my week of tips was helpful in some way. What do YOU never leave home without?
I always have 2 bottles of water, extra napkins, and a lighter. On top of the usual stuff you’d find in a purse and diaper bag. My bag weighs a good 10 pounds.
Hahaha! Thanks for the comment! A lighter?! I can see matches, for those unfortunate bathroom incidents, but what are you using a lighter for? Have you taken up smoking since I last saw you?
