Ladies, what's in your purse!?!?

HWeatherholt

I don't normally carry a purse for that reasons.

But, when I do, it will contain. . .my wallet, my checkbook, my glasses, my cell phone, my ipad, my journal, a pen, my portable hard drive, my digital camera, a small bottle of aspirn/aleve/whatever pain meds I bought last, a few pieces of paper with notes or something on them that I was saving, and maybe some face powder.

I try to keep it all organized. My purse isn't that big, but I can arrange it in a way that it all fits and I don't usually have to go digging for anything.

My wallet stuffed with a ton of cards and cash, my planner, ink pens, check book, lip gloss, lighters, pain pills and finger nail clippers.... rather boring. lol

I have a BIG hobo bag with lots of stuff in it, including a smaller purse for when I don't want to drag the hobo bag around with me. The small purse has just enough room for my wallet, keys and cell phone (There is a pen and a tampax in the zipper pocket, too). Besides the small purse, I have a makeup bag, an Ipod bag with chargers and ear buds, a kindle bag with light and charger, an arm brace for carpel tunnel, reading glasses in a case, a pack of kleenex, a tiny umbrella, a little notepad and a pen. In the zipper pocket, tampax, pens, and hair ties. My keys go in one end pocket and my cell phone goes in the other end pocket. This system works great! I do similar with my gym bag, which is a big Pink Victoria Secret hobo bag.

I downsized a couple of years ago after nearly putting my back out lugging around matchbox cars, drinks and snacks for 3 kids and a big water bottle for me. Now I tell my kids they are old enough that if they might need it, they need to bring it themselves. My purse is very small but it's amazing how much fits inside if I pack it right!
Right now I have a small water bottle, my wallet, two lip glosses & 3 chapsticks, bottle of ibuprofen, tissue pack, poison ivy
cream (my son and daughter always have poison ivy!!), two partial packs of gum (ok, I guess I do carry half this stuff for my kids since I never chew their fruity flavors), bulletin from church yesterday, bottle of allergy meds, small hand sanitizer, cough drops, pens, a couple receipts, small pillbox with extra meds incase I go somewhere and forget to take mine before I go, tweezers, nail clippers, small multitool, bobby pin, friend's extra key incase they lock themself out, pantiliners, bandaids. Wow, it's amazing how much you can cram in a small purse!

Ladies we are all very busy and on the go. It's seems my purse is the dumping ground for everything. Today it was feeling really heavy so I decided to clean it out. Here are just a few of the things it contained: a bottle of water, an empty baby bottle (yes my 2yr old is still on the bottle at times, smh), a sand shovel (guess the 2yr old put that in there too), hand sanitizer, a change purse full of change, and get this my husband's wallet!?!? Seriously am I the only one who has this problem????

Yours sounds a lot like mine. I have my wallet, cell phone, 7 lipglosses, perfume, body spray, hand lotion, sunglasses, a top (my son's prize from school, though he prefers to call it a dreidel even though we aren't Jewish :ohwell: ), 2 packs of fruit snacks, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, gum, 3 stickers, a ringpop and a sippy cup.

You can tell a lot by a woman by what's in their purse.

My mom always has IOU's and game cards, video games, gum, snacks, batteries and the like in her purse. She has two teenage boys living with her still.

A friend of mine has a jewelled wallet, several compacts, around fourteen shades of lipstick, dozens of other makeup items, at least seven bottles of pills (I've had to sort through them for her many times) and several unpaid traffic tickets. I don't need to explain her.

As for me, I've got my wallet, changepurse, foundation, pedometer, gum, handi wipes, tissues, bandaides, napkins, anti-bacterial soap, emergency gummies, cell phone, and ipod. Somerimes I find candy trash, small toys, or wilting flowers in there. I have a toddler.

Wallet, tampons, keys, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, lotion, chapstick, hair elastics, napkins, wet wipes, granola bar, fruit snacks, hot wheels, a bubble wand, a bajillion pens, sharpies and whiteboard pens, a rubber duckie, a green lantern magnet, and a bouncy ball. Deodorant and unused pedometer in the zipper pocket. And my purse isn't very big.

My family calls my purse The Black Hole of Calcutta, but whenever anyone needs something, I usually have it...phone charger, bandaids, pharmaceuticals, lotion, pocket knife, mini screwdriver set, headlamp, sunscreen, deck of cards, kleenex, sewing kit, gum, water bottle, camera...I'm tired.

dragonbait0126

My wallet, my card holder (that I can grab out and go), bag of lipgloss, body spray, planner, notebook, pens, 3 things of mints, Avon catalogs and order forms, my business cards, checkbook, perfume, and a cookbook with recipe cards from a Pampered Chef show I went to over the weekend and forgot I had.

My dog would be happy to take care of the squirrel situation

They only thing in mine, other than a variety of plastic, is a box of crayons. Which I find funny because I don't have any kids! But I have them there for when my niece comes over : )

Get rid of the luggage you call a purse. Grab a wristlet much sexier looking. Don't need to carry all that crap around. Not good for your shoulders or back.

The "clown nose" is my favorite answer so far!

iPhone, wallet, checkbook, about 8 different color pens, Sudoku puzzle book, ear buds, tissue, USB drive, keys, Id and key fob for work, nail clippers, pain reliever, bills that need paying, receipts from last weeks' trip, cough drops, hand sanitzier, lipstick that I never wear, lip balm, a mini-carbiner with 8 "customer reward" key tags on it... and some more stuff in the bottom, but I'm afraid to put my hand in that far.

I have a nose in my purse too. It's not a clown nose though, it is a foam "human" nose. One of the kids put it in there, but I have nooooo idea where it came from in the first place!

I usually carry a backpack instead of a purse, but my basics are my wallet, my keys, mace, a knife, a cell phone charger, my camera, a hairbrush, deodorant, water, chapstick, a small flashlight, and a snack bar. You never know! I actually wish I had a mini multitool or something too...

WifeNMama

Sunglasses case, wallet, keys, a little toy bulldozer, wet wipes, two diapers, a change pad, some cheerios that spilled, a receipt that entitles me to a free order of budda bingers at East Side Mario's.
