For us girls, carrying a bag with us wherever we go is an essential. Sometimes, however, you might not know exactly what to keep in your handbag. However, I have 12 items that I always keep with me that you should too! These items will help you stay more organized and will save you, from usual occurrences where you’d tend to think, “I wish I brought that.”
1. Wallet. This is an obvious item, because we all keep our money with us in our handbag. You always want to make sure you don’t forget it.
2. Keys. Car keys, house keys, et cetera, you never want to forget those.
3. Hand Sanitizer. You’re never too sure what you’re touching throughout the day or night. To stay away from germs and to prevent getting sick, always carry a mini hand sanitizer in your handbag. If you prefer hand wipes, go ahead and get that as a substitute.
4. Medication. You never know when a minor ache or an annoying headache could occur. I always keep a mini Tylenol or Advil bottle (whatever you would use to cure your aches and pains) with me in my handbag, just in case.
5. A pen. You never know when you’ll get a call, a colleague needs a pen, or you just have a moment when you’ll have to write something down.
6. Tissues. Keeping tissues with you is always a good idea. Whether you have a runny nose, feel a sneeze coming or spilled something, you’ll always be prepared!
7. Breath Freshener. I always keep a pack of gum or mints with me. Maybe you ate something that left your mouth with a gross aftertaste, or are meeting someone for lunch, you always want to keep it with you. Having bad breath is definitely a turn-off in any given situation.
8. Chapstick. I hate having chapped lips, so this is definitely something I always keep with me. Especially since it’s closer to winter, I always want to make sure my lips are moisturized.
9. Blotting papers. You may be thinking, “blotting papers?” Yes, “blotting papers!” They are mini sheets of paper that are absorbent in picking up excess oils, shine, and sweat on your face. I’m always needing these little absorbing wipes on the go.
10. Mini bags. I usually keep four mini plastic bags with me. 1 for makeup, the 2nd for receipts and papers, the 3rd for bandaids and safety pins, and the 4th for hair essentials such as bobby pins, hair bands, et cetera.
11. A healthy snack. You’re never too sure when you won’t have time to grab lunch or are just hungry on the go. Keeping a filling healthy snack bar with you is always a good idea.
12. A water bottle. Whether you’re thirsty on the go, have an itch in your throat or are in any given situation where you are dehydrated, it’s always a good idea to keep a mini water bottle with you.
It’s a great feeling to be prepared, and keeping these 12 items in your handbag at all times will definitely be a big help in those unprepared situations. You may be thinking, “How am I supposed to fit all of these things in my purse?” Trust me, it’s easier than you think.
