What’s In Her Purse?


A while ago I was asked what kind of stuff (junk) I keep in my purse on a regular basis. I was out shopping today and purchased a new cheapie white purse and was transferring my stuff over, so I thought I’d take a photo to share with you all!

I’m pretty sure I’m a packrat, but you know what? I’m always prepared, so nyah!

So what is all that crap, you ask? Let me list it!

– Roots mega-wallet. My lifesaver! It holds so much, and all my many, many cards!

– Gum
– Eight (count ’em, 8!) lip products. I think I may have to purge a few… oi!
– Samsung cell phone
– Allergy pills
– Emergency Tylenol stash
– MAC cover-up
– Eye drops for allergy season and for dry eyes
– Pass card for work
– iPod Nano. Love it! It’s black but had never been outside of the ruff and tough case
– Vitamin B12 strips. Mmm, minty fresh!
– GoldBond hand cream. I don’t like it but can’t find a better cream that is that tiny
– CBC mini-notepad. Indispensible! I use this thing all the time. Used to have a Palm Pilot but paper works better!
– Pen (self-explanatory)
– Keychain with my swiss army knife and FRIES key sleeve… helps me identify the key to my inside apartment door quickly
– Clean & Clear blotting papers
– Almay pressed powder
– Hand sanitizer!

Needless to say I can’t use any of those cute little purses out there… but at least I’m not carrying one of those freaking Puma or Lululemon gym bags around as a purse! What up with that?

I also have a small green USB key I keep with me for work stuff, but it was in my computer while I was taking this photo.

I wonder what my purse contents say about me? Anyone want to hazard a guess?

To all the ladies out there: What do you keep in your purse? What kind of odd things do you keep, and how do you stay organized?

I’ve just started putting all my lip stuff, hand cream, etc. into a little baggie to keep it all together. The rest of the little bits go in the inside zipper pocket, and my iPod, keys and wallet float around the main pocket.

If I cart any more stuff around I think I might need to start carrying a duffle bag! eep!

  1. You forgot to take a picture of your purse. Let’s see it.

    I carry way too much stuff with me. Too much! Since I am bored I will take it all out and take a picture of it and post it on my blog.

  2. Marisol: I will check your blog out! I’m always interested to see what other gals are storing in their magic bags…

    FB: You’re so zen, though! I wish I could get away with less stuff, but I find that most of my things I use on a regular basis… urrrg. Your arsenal is not pitiful, it’s efficient!

  3. Interesting!

    I am always scared my bottle of hand sanitizer will burst open in my purse… good idea about the baggie!!
