Recently I have started to carry around a purse and I now finally understand why so many women like to carry them around! Purses are very helping and not to mention VERY stylish. At first I never carried around a purse because i personally thought I just had nothing to put in one. Little did I know this was TOTALLY false! Therefore, even if you think you have nothing to put in your purse like I did, you definitely have plenty to put in it. Below I have listed some things that I think everyone should have in their purse!
A journal/planner: I ALWAYS need a journal and planner on me! I carry around one journal and two planners! I find this very useful because it allows me to always have something on me to write down all of my ideas. Whether it is making a to do list to writing down an idea about a new blog. I also love to write out what I need at the grocery and things I need to pick up at Target, Walgreens, Whole Foods, etc.
Chapstick: The real question is who doesn't need chapstick?! I don't know about you but chapstick is always something that I need but, when I actually need some, I never seem to home some on me. Therefore, if you always carry a tube of chapstick in your purse, you will never have this problem!
Hand Sanitizer: I like to carry around a small thing of hand sanitizer in my purse for when I am out at dinner, lunch, or even just having a snack. I do this so I can make sure my hands are clean without having to run to the restroom and wash my hands.
Lotion: I love carrying around a bottle of lotion!!! My personal favorite is L'occitane's! It is a french brand and always makes my skin feel great. I absolutely can't leave the house without it!
Hairbrush: I always have a hairbrush with me even in the glove box in my car. I carry a brush with me for when I randomly need to throw my hair up or suddenly feel like I need to brush my hair. Especially since I love driving with my windows down.
Band-aids: This is nice to have in your purse for those annoying random cuts everyone gets. :-)
Money: I recommend to have about $20 at a time in your purse for those times when you just need a little cash. This could come in handy for a coffee in the morning or a snack in the middle of the day. Plus it is always nice to have some cash on you.
FINALLY, of course you can always throw your phone and keys int your purse!
