I HATE to put anything in there that should be thrown out (bad memories of my mother's handbag growing up: old tissues disintegrating into dust, crumpled paper, usually somebody's binky, fossilized Lifesavers...) and will get to a trash can ASAP if forced to put any junk in there temporarily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181949 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:33:19 +0000 elpgal 181949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For everyday - wallet with 1 credit cards, 1 debit card &amp; licence, a 'hidden' $20 bill, Tide-to-go pen, 1 mechanical pencil (don't trust pens not to leak), few post-its, eyeglass wipes, kleenex, babywipes, fem. hygiene stuff and phone.</p> <p>When I go shopping, I switch to a crossbody that has my gift cards, receipts, coupons and just add my wallet.</p> <p>I remove loose change everyday and consolidate receipts and coupons after each shopping trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181947 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:14:19 +0000 biscuitsmom 181947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>large checkbook, comb, foundation, lipstick, small bottle of purel, cell phone, coupon holder and usually about 967 receipts! lol. I almost lost my hand last time I cleaned out my purse-yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181944 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:00:38 +0000 Kate 181944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- wallet (large, with checkbook and a ton of cards)<br /> - cell phone<br /> - sunglasses and their case<br /> - keys<br /> - daily planner<br /> - post-it notes<br /> - a couple pens<br /> - bandaids<br /> - bobby pins<br /> - hair bands<br /> - spf 30 sunscreen<br /> - chapstick<br /> - Aveda blue oil</p> <p>Most summer days I also have a cardigan or other light layer jammed in there so I don't freeze when I go inside to the AC. Most school days I also have my laptop and a book or two in there.</p> <p>I clean out my purse every time that I find myself sitting and waiting. Sometimes I will go a week without cleaning it, other times it's every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181943 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:57:36 +0000 marianna 181943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I used to carry SO much and I started having bad shoulder/arm pain... so I had to downsize. Now I carry the basics: A large wallet, keys, lipgloss and lip balm, bandaids in case my shoes become uncomfortable, small pack of kleenex, gum and/or some hard candy, a mirror, and my phone. I have a tendency to forget to clean out receipts though (ie: my wallet is stuffed with receipts, must clean it out soon!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181939 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:35:33 +0000 Sparky 181939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's in my bag right now? My big wallet, cell phone, lipstick, lip gloss, hearing aid batteries, face powder, sunglasses case, a bunch of pens (always have pens on me), and . . . my Nordstrom credit card bill. That's a lot more streamlined than usual, but I recently switched bags so I'm starting fresh.</p> <p>Edited to add: Oops, I forgot ~ always a small bottle of Purell.</p> <p>Edited again to answer the question of how often I clean out: I clean them out either when a) too many papers (receipts, maps/directions, grocery lists, etc.) get shoved in and it's driving me crazy, or b) when I switch bags, which isn't as often as I'd like to. Bag switching for me is totally random, but I'd like to do a better job of coordinating bags to outfits. Someday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181936 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:23:26 +0000 Maya 181936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phone, lip balm + Burt's Bees lip shimmer, glasses case and contact case in case I need to take my lenses out, sunglasses, wallet, Metrocard, pass to get in the office, oil blotting sheets, small hair brush, band aids and blister block for my fussy feet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181935 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:17:15 +0000 Lana (Lay-nah) 181935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a teacher on vacation, so my purse is light, too. I usually carry:</p> <p>--antibacterial wipes (so handy to have!)<br /> --chapstick<br /> --a small bottle of hand sanitizer<br /> --a compact mirror<br /> --house/car keys<br /> --wallet<br /> --any outgoing mail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-do-you-carry-in-your-purse#post-181933 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:09:30 +0000 fathenry 181933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curious what others carry around on a daily basis. Now that I'm not working, my daily items have made it so easy to lighten up and to change handbags. I'm loving the simplicity of it.</p> <p>I'm carrying:</p> <p>cell phone<br /> tiny wallet (size of credit card)<br /> lip gloss<br /> sunglasses<br /> car keys</p> <p>Do you clean out your handbag every day? </p>
