Thanks to everyone who commented, and may you always have a book in your bag!
A Tide stain pen! Us klutzy girls never leave the house without one, amiright?
Keys, wallet, personal size planner (in rose gold, thought I do have a similar turquoise blue and a gold one), phone, a makeup bag (filled with wipes, emergency inhaler, pain killers, allergy meds, deodorant, and some other stuff), another one with beauty supplies (mostly in case of a broken nail or loss of lip balm), small notebook with a pen, and reading material. I’ve been told that I have “the mom purse.”
Looks like aqua to me. I never leave home without my Kindle. I’m never without a book.
Lip balm!
I would fill this bag with ALL THE THINGS! Wallet, keys, phone, kindle, migraine meds, sunglasses….
Tinted lip balm & emergency toddler snacks!
My phone so I always have a book with me!!!
My Kindle!!!
I always chant to myself “cellphone keys wallet” as I poke through my purse before I leave the house. Those three things are good enough to get by for a day.
My Kindle. Even with the phone app, I prefer to take my Paperwhite along.
I always have my kindle. If I’m out and discover that it’s not in there I start to hyperventilate. What if I’m stuck or waiting somewhere with nothing to read? I care about it more than my wallet! I am exaggerating a little – I usually survive but it is the first thing I make sure is in there.
Lip balm and snacks!
Phone…always and lately I’ve brought water with me everywhere. I’m really working on increasing my water intake.
I never leave home without my ID, because when you need it, you really need it.
I have a coin purse stuffed with emergency supplies: band aids, safety and bobby pins, cough drops, Benedryl, nail file, toothpicks, cotton swabs, hair ties, panty liners, a tiny flashdrive, Lactaid(I’m not lactose intolerant, but so many people are!) and of course Midol and a Hershey kiss. Everyone should carry emergency chocolate. It makes me happy to give these little things away daily.
My Kindle – to read the books you suggest! Thanks!
My planner 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
I always have Boogie wipes and an Epi-Pen for my son. For me, chapstick and Tic Tac’s. I would literally die without chapstick. Thanks for the chance!
Lip balm and gum. And my phone. I nearly have a panic attack if I forget my phone.
Along with the usuals, I always have tissues and single drink mix packets in my purse. The drink mixes liven up that bland glass of water at lunch!
Kindle and knitting!
Chapstick, nail file and tissues!!!
Other than phone and wallet? Kindle, earbuds, and lip balm. My lips get dry quickly, so leaving without lip balm for the road is a no-go!
Burt’s Bees chopstick and hand lotion- I live in the arid Southwest so moisturizers are a requirement at all times.
book and backup book
I’m *that* person who likes to have every emergency item with her at all times so I don’t leave home without the normal essentials like phone, wallet, and keys but also an external charger, tissues, lip balm, eye drops, hand lotion, bandaids, gum/mints, lens wipes, headache meds (excedrin, ibuprofin, AND tylenol), tea bags, etc. This bag would be awesome because it can hold so much!
A book! And sometimes my Kindle too so I have several choices.
Reading glasses and grape bubble gum!
I never ever leave home without my iPad mini (which gives me access to my Nook books AND my Kindle books AND whatever PDF books I have downloaded to it). It’s my walking library. Once we left the house and were about 5 mikes from home when I discovered I didn’t have it. I had such a freakout that my hubs turned around and retrieved it (Best. Guy. Evah!!) I can do without everything else in my life except my books. My family is considering staging an intervention.
Tissues and Tissues (I’ve become my grandmother)
A pen, Kleenex, and a snack!
Wallet, phone, keys, of course, but also my Kindle and lip balm. Thanks!
Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm.
My wallet.
Wow, love that color! My kids know that if we’re out and there is a sudden need for a nail clipper, my purse contains one. Also a tape measure, mini tweezers, dental floss, and ibuprofen (among other things).
Chapstick and phone are the absolute essentials in my purse.
I always have lipstick and gum in my purse.
One of those little microfibre cloths to clean my glasses with.
Chapstick, earbuds, mints, fingernail clippers, and a variety of pens.
The better question might be what’s NOT in my purse at any given moment (sometimes I feel like Mary Poppins), but aside from wallet, phone and keys, my musts are: a book, lip balm(I agree, they tend to breed in the purse environment), gum, tissues, and a pen or five(also like to reproduce in purses, in my experience).
