10 (TEN) Purse/Handbag Must-Haves

Here is a complete guide on what to include in your purse or handbag as you head out the door.

Sometimes, it is hard to remember to pack everything you need and you only remember when you’re out and about and it is too late.

A great way to ensure you won’t have oopsie Daisy moments is to ensure that you pack in advance. If you need to change bags, you could just transfer your stuff to the other bag.

So, without further ado, let’s look at purse/handbag must-haves…

1. Your purse/wallet

Seeing that most of us keep our IDs, ATM cards etc in these vital little things, it is important to ensure you have packed it nice and safe in your bag so that you don’t get stranded.

When you decide to use another one, make sure you transfer all your IDs, money and ATM cards to the next preferred one.

2. Make-up Bag

If you do your make-up, whether light or a full face beat, you’ll need to do some touch ups while you’re away. What is helpful is carrying a mini make-up bag inside your bag to keep your make-up safe from damage and for order. We all know how handbags tend to swallow their contents so having a make-up bag will help you know where everything is.

3. Perfume Or Bodymist

This is a muusstt!!! Carry some of that perfume or Bodymist to keep you smelling fresh all day. It doesn’t matter if you are having a stressful day at work or going on a date, carry it at all times.

4. Hand Sanitizer

Include some hand sanitizer. Not just because of covid-19. Hand sanitizer is a must have for anyone going out of their home. We get exposed to so many germs as covid-19 taught us and we need to be careful.

5. A Pen

We don’t know how to stress this enough. Always carry a pen. It saves the fuss of asking around for a pen when you need it or worse still using a communal pen at the bank, school etc.

6. Lotion

Lotion in your bag is a must have especially if you have sensitive skin that gets dry easily or your job involves using your hands leaving them ashy.

Invest in lotion that comes in a small bottle or tube that you can carry around easily in your bag.

7. Extra pair of underwear

These are highly recommended items for those days when you are nursing your uterus and for everyday life. They come in handy when you need a fresh pair due to discharge, BO, sweat and so on.

8. Pads Or Tampons And/Or Pantyliners

For those unforeseen uterus surprises, carry an emergency auntie Flo item so that your day or outfit isn’t ruined.

9. Tissues

carry some in case you visit the restroom and you find no toilet paper or you mess up your clothes with nothing to wipe with.

They also come in handy when you get your hands in sticky situations and you need something to wipe with.

100% recommend having these with you.

10. Charger

Do not be that person that goes round with a dead phone looking for a charger. Pack one in advance and save yourself the trouble of being stranded with a flat battery.
