I’ve seen other bloggers post about this, and I think it can be fun (and maybe a bit voyeuristic) to find out what people carry around with them all the time. I have a small set of core items that are with me almost all the time, so I thought I’d share that here:
Obviously, there are some things that pretty much everyone carries. Wallet (I really don’t like this one, but I like to keep a lot of cards in it, and most wallets just don’t have enough card slots without bulk), cell phone, pen. My sunglasses are prescription and are quite essential. I used to wear contacts all the time and would hate my glasses days because the sun would blind me. Then I got prescription sunglasses and I’ve been a full-time glasses girl ever since. I have two Moleskines: one is a weekly planner where I keep track of my schedule and to-do lists, the other is a regular journal where I jot notes, ideas, long-term lists and blog post drafts. I also keep a small zippered pouch that I made myself in my purse at all times.
In my pouch, I keep my small essentials. Lip glosses and lip stick (pictured are Revlon, Clinique, Burts Bees, and strawberry lip gloss from Smokey Mountain Scents. Yum!). Hair brush. Tape measure (because you never know). Safety pins (for wardrobe disasters like broken zippers). Flash drive. Eye drops. Nail file. Tweezers. Pens. Nail clippers.
Besides the lip gloss, pens and hair brush, I don’t use these items every day. But I still like to have them on me at all times, because they’re so useful when they’re needed.
What’s in your purse?
