6 Essentials For Your Handbag

A woman's handbag is the next best thing to her clothes and accessories...she just can’t leave home without it! The size of her purse varies, so whether you keep it light and simple, or big and flashy, there are six essential things all ladies must have at all times. Apart from the staple items such as cell phone, keys, wallet, lets countdown the basic must-haves for your handbag to confidently tackle your day. Lip gloss/Lipstick Don’t ever be caught with dry or chapped lips because it is not attractive. I have an addiction to lip gloss and frankly my lips love me for it. So even if you don't wear make-up each morning, lip gloss/lipstick with a dash of color will keep you looking your best. Breath Mints Bad breath can be a major turn-off in any situation. How uncomfortable would it be to have a conversation with someone after eating tuna or a cheese burger with onions? Save yourself the embarrassment and keep a couple of mints in your handbag at all times. Aspirin Maybe you didn't sleep well last night or traffic heading to work gave you a headache. Don’t let a headache put a damper in your whole day. Keep a travel sized bottle of aspirin in your purse to keep those aches at bay and focus on the more important things. Compact Mirror It is very important to check your teeth after that salad you ate for lunch. It is embarrassing when a stranger has to tell you that you have something stuck in between your teeth. Hand Sanitizer/Baby Wipes Have you seen the movie Contagion? After watching this movie you will sanitize your hands after visiting the ATM, shaking someones hand, and the list goes on. These items will help to protect you against those germs. In addition to the cleansing factor, I like the moisturizing effect that both provides to my hands. Tampon/Pad Can you imagine anything worse than needing a tampon/pad and not having one? Be prepared even if you don’t need it, you might help a friend or a stranger out in a an emergency situation. These items and much more are in my handbag. I have a friend who carries a book everywhere, one who carries her own tea, and a third who has a toothbrush. Did your top items make the list? Tell us what your top bag essentials are and what you can’t leave home without.
