Thanks to everyone who commented, and may you always have a book in your bag!
Besides my wallet and emergency kit with my meds, definitely Keys. I’m always scared of locking myself out LOL:)
My phone wallet combo, keys, chapstick and headphones 😀
My Kindle!
I never leave home without a notebook and pen. Story epiphanies can strike at any moment, they must be preserved for posterity, or comic relief.
After reading approx 200 posts, was interested to note the lack of priority given to feminine needs. I was thrilled to be able to down size my bag after a hysterectomy when I no longer needed to have instant access to tampons and pads. Nice that now I only need to carry a discretely wrapped panty liner for those occasional unexpected coughs or sneezes.
More and more it’s my phone. Even more than my wallet sometimes. Thanks a lot Starbucks app!
I never leave without my sunglasses.
Earbuds!
Wallet, phone, chapstick, and a book or my kindle.
Always have earbuds, a snack, and a bright red lipstick.
Ima calling that yummy tote color “Sea Foam Aqua”. Yes, of course that’s a legit color name, just look at the tote; it IS sea foam aqua.
On to must haves in my purse. I could answer the usual- keys, wallet, etc. but I think those are the gimmies like the letters for the Bonus Wheel. So my answer is to never leave home without Gas-X chewable tablets. Because obvious reasons. I’m not even joking.
Lip balm, DnD dice, and a book.
I never leave home without my bullet journal, approximately 700 colored pens, 17 different shades of red lipstick (because you just never know what the occasion may call for), and my kindle.
My kindle of course. Lip balm. Wallet. Brush. The essentials.
My ipad, phone, wallet and keys.
After debit card and phone, I always carry a lip balm and hand sanitizer.
I won’t even carry a purse that isn’t large enough to fit my kindle. My kindle goes everywhere I go, so besides identification and key my kindle is the one thing I won’t leave home without 🙂
Lip gloss! I have at least one in every purse and each of my coat pockets. It’s kind of a problem.
I always have a book in my bag 🙂 I take public transport a lot and I can’t drive so I need to be able to read (I usually have earphones as well so that I can block out the chatty folk)
I never leave home without my Kindle.
100% of the time, chapstick! Always chapstick.
Red lipstick!
My Kindle Fire…I’m always patient when I have a book to read.
Besides the obvious wallet and keys, I always have chapstick, a hair tie, and some sort of Advil/Tylenol/Excedrin!
Gotta keep Advil in my bag at all times. I get a lot of headaches.
I always have ID, money, and my Kindle of course
Jack Black lip balm and sunglasses!
Lipstick!
I always make sure I have my sunglasses for the blinding Texas sun. Even if it’s a rare overcast day I still make sure to have them, or else I’m doomed to squint.
So many things, but luckily less books, because of Kindle and co. But my fav item that is a little special is the tiny yellow Swiss Army knife with integrated USB stick 😉
Let’s see… phone goes in my pocket, wallet & keys are included so that leaves snack-packs of M&Ms, Blistex, migraine meds and hand sanitizer as my essentials.
A pen (and a back-up pen).
Instant coffee packets and lip gloss! Can’t go wrong with caffeine and a bright lip.
Spare reading glasses.
Instant coffee and lip gloss! Can’t go wrong with caffeine and a bright lip.
My iPad Mini and a comb….
I never leave without my dayplanner in my purse!
Other than phone/wallet I carry a Pinch Provisions mini-emergency kit. It’s a small pouch stuffed with things to handle the little crises like a broken nail, headache, a blob of BBQ sauce on your white blouse etc. I added things specific to me like a few Tums in a plastic bag, band-aids, gum. I also added wet-naps because my children are dirty little critters (said with love).
I never leave home without an epi-pen and an ebook reader —
Well, the ebook reader’s fun, at least. 😛
Wallet, phone, Kindle and a small container of Tylenol, because you never know.
