It may be small but it is mighty!
I used to carry a huge hand bag everywhere & try to fit as much as I could into so I could go from work to happy hour to the gym to Narnia…
Now I only carry the necessities & let me tell you quality over quantity goes a long way when it comes to carrying a purse around!
1. Wallet!
Obviously, but I used to switch purses a lot & sometimes just leave the house with my wallet because I didn’t feel like carrying around a giant bag just to get a spray tan!
2. Car Keys!
My house key is attached to my car keys so even if I’m not driving I bring my car keys…Max & I got locked out of our apartment at 2am & had to drive over to my mom’s & get our spar. Now we both bring a set of keys with us!
3. Q-tips!
I had to grab something to use a coupon at Ulta so I grabbed Q-tips at the little travel stand & never used them. A few months later I went to Quebec & they had Q-tips in their hotel bathroom, so along with all the other minis I threw those in my purse, too. One day at work someone asked me for Q-tips & I had them! When I got home I put my Q-tips from Ulta in my purse & it’s been a helpful staple ever since!
4.Wet Wipes!
These really have come in handy. Any time a restaurant puts them out I grab them and toss them in my purse. A friend of Maxs was eating chicken wings & was in desperate need of a wet wipe & guess who came to the rescue!
5. Wine Opener!
Honestly you never know when you’re gonna need one. Especially considering the amount of wine tours I go on…no need to always spend money on the ones they sell in the winery.
6. Pen!
I’ve always carried a pen in my purse since middle school & it’s always come in handy.
7. Checkbook!
I know, I know…How old am I? But my hair salon only accepts cash or check so instead of remembering to bring it with me, I just always carry it!
8. Chapstick!
This should actually be #1…
9. Lipstick/Lip Liner/Lip Gloss!
Pulls together any look!
10. Phone!
Does this even count? Doesn’t everyone always have this on them no matter what?
11. Hair Tye!
Someone, including yourself, always needs a hair tye!
12. Tic Tacs!
Or Mentos are always handy after eating or having a coffee before work!
13. Compact!
You never know when you need to touch up your make up or check your teeth. If you get caught in the rain a little mascara check is a necessity!
14. Hand Cream!
Because Buffalo…
15. Mascara!
If you think you’re just running to get coffee & then coffee turns into brunch & then a day of activities & just be prepared!
I hope this helps & comment what you keep in your purse that I might be missing out on!
That’s all…xxTay!
