Women are known to carry their world in their purses (I'm guilty of doing that time to time), but with good reason! Women are constantly juggling multiple hats; whether it's going to school and working, being a mother, or running errands all day. Woman multitask and take care of a million things through out the day, so we need our purses as a safety net to help us get through the day.
These are 5 things I always have in my purse:
1. Chapstick. No matter what season or where I'm going, I always carry chapstick. I absolutely hate chapped lips, plus it really hurts. I also prime my lips with chapstick before applying lipstick which always help prevent cracked lips and helps lipstick stay on longer. I also apply chapstick on top of matte lipsticks to moisten the lips and prevent cracks after a few hours.
2. Band aids. I am known to be a bit clumsy at times so I carry a few band aids just in case. I also carry them when I wear shoes that might give me blisters. Tip- put on band aids prior to leaving the house to avoid getting blisters at all.
3. Wallet or card holder. Depending on the size purse I'm carrying (usually it's a pretty small cross body bag) I'll either have my Marc Jacobs card wallet or my Kate Spade card holder.
4. Headphones. Music gives me life and makes the subway rides go much faster! My favorite is the Apple EarPod because I like the fit in the ear and they fit in small spaces.
5. Mini perfume. I love refreshing my perfume every few hours while I'm out. Most of the time I forget to apply perfume before I head out the house so having an extra scent in my bag really helps. Luxury Scent Box has an amazing array of scents to choose from and you get a new scent every month for only $15! It's a monthly subscription service that sends a new luxury travel size perfume based on your preferences. I love the packaging because it fits in small areas and doesn't leak! My current summer scent is Marc Jacobs daisy.
