My 5 Purse Must-Haves

There are a couple things I have to have in my purse at all times!

NO EXCUSES.

If I don't have these things readily available,

I get a little nervous.

And then I started wondering if everybody

has this little quirk. If most people have a

few things they just can't go anywhere without.

Besides your cell phone.

That ones a given.

So here are my 5 MUST HAVES for my purse...

Chapstick

I freaking hate chapped lips.

If my lips are chapped and I don't have any chapstick,

I go a little crazy.

There is only one kind of chapstick I use though.

Carmex Click Stick, preferably cherry :)

A Couple Dollars

This is mainly because I shop at the commissary.

At the commissary, they have baggers who work

for tips only. I always feel bad when I don't have

at least a dollar to throw in their tip jar. I've gotten

better at making sure I have a couple dollars on me

at all times.

A Small Mirror

Ok I always have to check myself in a mirror.

How embarrassing to have something in your

teeth or on your face out in public? 

I remember as a teenager my dad put a little 

mirror in the visor of his work truck just for me lol!

Hand Sanitizer

Ugh public areas are so gross. I can't help but

get grossed out after putting gas in my car, using

an ATM or pushing a grocery cart. I use hand

sanitizer a lot for me and the kids. And then we 

always wash our hands when we get home!

Bandaids

Honestly, how many people carry bandaids?

I got this idea from my mom when we were

out in public somewhere and one of my kids

got hurt and she pulled a bandaid out of her purse.

What a great idea, especially when you have little

clumsy kids! I always make sure I have 3 or 4

bandaids in my wallet.

 

I know we aren't all "purse people" but does anyone else 

have any must-haves on them at all times?

By the way, isn't this little coin purse adorable?
I found it on thinkpinkribbon.com.

It's out of stock but they have tons of other stuff

and part of proceeds go to breast cancer research.
