Do you ever look at other women and wonder what all they carry in their purses? How heavy their purse is compared to yours? I see so many women at the shows I do carrying these huge bags that appear to be breaking their shoulders. Recently I have found myself trying to condense my bag so I am not carrying as much with me.

I made a list of things that I would like to have in my purse and things that I actually need in my purse. These are some of my essentials I came up with:
  1. Mints or Gum
  2. Lotion and Lip Balm
  3. A Pen
  4. A Snack- Protein Bar or Nuts
  5. Mini Emergency Kit- Band-Aid, Advil, Feminine Product of Choice, Neosporin, Hair Tie

I decided on these items because I use them on the daily basis inside and outside of my purse. I have many pens and lipsticks around the house. I always have a snack nearby to grab, and lotion since my hands are always in water. 

As for the Mini Emergency Kit, you never know what is going to happen. If you slice your finger open or get a blister that band-aid will go a long way. Advil is a save all when your legs cramp or you have a headache you can not shake! Hair ties can be used for busted pant buttons or your hair. Neosporin can be used as a moisturizer, lip gloss and for cuts!  

 

So ladies let's unload those bags. We aren't leaving the house and never coming back! 

With love,


Jackie
