ITEMS TO KEEP IN YOUR PURSE

October 24, 2022

Wouldn’t be nice to have all your daily essentials with you at all times?

Have you ever been out and about and wished you had something you desperately needed? If so, then I’ve been there too, which is why I made it a goal to fill my purse with things I need and use as a woman. Today I’ll be sharing a few purse essentials to make your life a little easier. These items not only help me feel prepared but also things I can’t leave home without, here are 8 items to always keep in your purse!

8 PURSE ESSENTIALS FOR WOMEN

HAND SANITIZER

When you’re out and on the go, you touch a lot of things such as door handles, and items in stores, and even come in contact with others during transactions in stores. Carrying hand sanitizer can help you reduce the spread of germs which will help you keep both yourself and others safe. By doing so, you’re able to keep your hands clean even when you don’t have a sink and soap to wash your hands while in public settings.

LOTION

Keeping your skin moisturized is essential for healthy skin, especially during the colder months. Having lotion in your purse is a quick and easy way to hydrate and relieve dry skin. Save yourself the discomfort of dry skin and keep a moisturizer of some sort in your purse whether it’s lotion or hand cream.

LIP GLOSS OR BALM

Chapped lips can cause discomfort and not having any when your lips need moisture can be a pain. Lip balm and gloss both help to keep your lips hydrated, and soft, and serves as a protective barrier against damage. Caring for your lips while on the go can prevent dry and cracked lips, which is why lip care products are another purse essential that makes me feel prepared and put together.

FEMININE HYGIENE KIT

You never know when you’ll have an emergency or need to freshen up. Therefore having a feminine care kit in your purse can be convenient since you’ll have all your feminine care products with your while at work, school, or on the go. All you need is a small cosmetic bag to keep everything safe and secured. Items you may want to add to your feminine hygiene kit are:

pads
tampons
baby wipes
dental floss picks
travel size mouthwash
travel size deodorant
lotion and perfume

WALLET

Although this is an obvious purse essential since it has your ID, license, cash, and bank cards, you want to be sure that your wallet is in your purse when leaving your home. Also, making sure your wallet is in your purse before leaving stores and restaurants, can prevent you from leaving behind your important cards and keep your personal information safe.

PLANNER

Carrying my planner with me helps me to stay in the know and is an easy way to write down ideas, reminders, and other important notes throughout the day. This can also help you keep track of your finances, future plans, and daily to-dos. However, if you don’t want to carry your planner in your purse then I recommend using a digital planner that you can use at any time with your phone or iPad!

MINTS OR GUM

To keep your breath fresh at all times, it’ll be best to have mints or gum in your purse. Gum is a great way to refresh your breath after having a snack or food and help prevent smelly breath.

POWER BANK OF PHONE CHARGER

To avoid running out of battery, carrying a charger or power bank in your purse can help you stay prepared in the event that your phone needs charged. Keeping a charger with me has been a great help for days I’m running errands or using apps that may drain my battery throughout the day.
