What's In My Purse

Hello loves, 

Today I wanted to share with you what is in my purse. A lot of beauty people do these posts, and I just wanted to share with you how I not only keep my purse clean, but also keep it organized and at the same time, be prepared for most situations. 

Note: This is not my baby bag, this is just my purse. While my hubby is home, he carries the baby bag, because he is my hero, and I will do a baby bag post in two weeks' time, keep a lookout for it. 

For now, this is what is in my purse:

First off, my purse is an American Eagle by Payless bag. It is camel, white and navy, and I saw it and fell in love with it. It has a detachable shoulder strap and brass hardware. It just felt like summer to me when I saw it. The most important feature of this bag is that it has a lot of pocket and pouches to put things into so I can keep my items organized. Everything has a place. 


 

This is my Jessica Simpson wallet in brown and forest green with gold hardware. 

I have a Revlon by Marchesa manicure kit in here, just in case I break a nail while I'm out. 

These are my keys. 

I have a small bottle that I keep my pills in, stuff like Gravol, Tylenol, and Gas-X. Hey, you never know! I also keep a personal pack of tissues, just in case. 

Next are my George (ooo) brand sunglasses. I have yet to get nice ones, so for now, these are it. 

Next, I have my lipstick case. In here, I keep two mint flossers, a neutral coloured hair tie, and my Hurraw Black Cherry Tinted Lip Balm. And, I also keep blotting paper in my purse for when I am wearing make-up. 

Next is a big nerd one for me, but I keep a sewing kit in my purse. Yes, a full sewing kit. I got it from Micheal's for $1.50 and it has never let me down. It has all the things you need in an emergency in it, and I love it dearly. It doesn't take up much room, as you can see, it is smaller than a cell phone or a deck of cards. It doesn't pop open on me, and it fit perfectly into my little zipper pouch. 

 

And last, but not least, I always have a bottle of water in my purse. Always. I have been drinking a lot more water lately, and this helps me. This is not the water bottle I use, I have reusable ones that save the earth and are pretty, but this is the one I DID have at the time from a baby shower I went to last weekend. 







Well, that's everything. I know I didn't go a lot into all of the organization, but you can think of this as a mashup of Reduce, Reuse, Reorganize and Beauty is on the Inside. 

I hope this helped you a little. I am not a make-up re-applier, so I never carry any make-up, other than my lip colour in my hand bag because I feel like that is a waste of time, and I'm a mom, when will I have time to re-apply my make-up throughout the day? Answer: I don't, so why am I going to weight my purse down with useless things? I don't. I keep my bag minimal, which means I can easily find everything and I don't have to do a huge purse clean sweep at the end of every week. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope to see you soon. 

Warm wishes.

Organize Yourself

Hey there!

This page is new, so if there isn't anything here for a bit, just give it time. 

I have a new found passion for organizing my home. It takes time, but if you take that 30 minutes while the baby is asleep, or while you were on Facebook, you can organize your make-up, your jewelry box, your face cleansers, a cabinet, or a closet. I don't use fancy organizers for everything, and the ones I do use, I have accumulated over time, or they were a gift. I re-purpose old totes and shoe boxes, re-organize drawers and closets to make things fit neater, and use new organizers to help with those odd projects. 

I'm not saying you have to go out and buy a bunch or shoes, or go to Canadian Tire and buy a bunch or organizers. If this is what you want to do, by all means, I love shopping. But if you are a shoe box keeper, or your linen closet looks like a mess, then you can follow my simple tricks to help organize your house, your room, your child's room, and your life. 

Happy organizing. 

Warm wishes.
