Oh how I wish I were one of those girls who was perfectly content with carrying a small handbag consisting of my wallet, keys and cell phone. But I’m not, I am the girl who get’s anxiety when I have to choose which precious items to bring in a small clutch on a night out.
I don’t understand how a woman can feel comfortable leaving the house without certain “just in case” items. While organizing my purse last week, I decided to lay everything out and try to downsize. Needless to say, I wasn’t terribly successful.
After de-cluttering I was left with the following:
An agenda
Wallet
Notepad
Sunglasses
Tire pressure checker?
Hair clips
Hand lotion
Deodorant
Craisins
Listerine mist
Blot sheets
Tanning goggles
Nail glue
Cuticle oil
Cuticle balm
Nail file
Nail polish remover pads
4 lip glosses
1 lip stick
Business cards
4 Pens
1 Highlighter
Tampons
Mace
Wet naps
A computer/phone screen cleaner
Hairspray
Tylenol
A small sewing kit
In the black bag are bobby pins, a small lint roller and other misc. items. Also, not photographed are my keys, cell and on-the-go makeup bag*
Normally, carrying this many items in one bag would be a messy nightmare, but lucky for me, I have a FABULOUS as seen on TV product that is actually super practical and 100% effective. The Kangaroo Keeper!
It’s so perfect for any purse, particularly a bag with no structure.
Do you carry any of the same things as me? Or are you one of the lucky-to-be-low maintenance ladies?
I definitely carry a lot – and I always have so many receipts and at least several packets of Splenda with me at all time lol. Every couple of weeks I pull everything out and get rid of receipts that I don’t need. I love your list – seems like you are prepared for anything!
