I’ve been overdue for another post on the things I Can’t Live Without, this time I choose to feature something us ladies are far to familiar with…our purses. I’ve been told that I carry around a suitcase numerous times, but if the size didn’t already convince you, then you’ll agree with my friends after you see everything that I put in it. Here are my handbag essentials…what’s in yours?
The Caracas Sisal Tote by Calypso St. Barth’s is the perfect carry all for summer, and I love how it’s made of sea grass rather than the traditional straw. It might be a travel wallet but this is just the right sized everyday wallet, because it has the right amount of compartments for everything I carry, plus I love the tangerine color! I CANNOT live without my daily planner, I carry it everywhere I go. A pen is a necessity, and I also keep a zip drive on hand because of work.And of course you can’t forget the gum!
In my little blue bag, I carry a nail file to fix a chipped nail, much-needed hand cream by L’Occitane, Boscia green tea blotting linens, Tresemme Dry Shampoo, hair pins and ties, rewetting contact drops for my constant dry eyes, band aids, ibuprofen, and safety pins. I don’t usually do much to my lips aside from my absolutely favorite beauty product, Chapstick, but I do carry around a pink lipstick whenever I need to freshen up and add a pop of color to my lips, as well as my cheeks. If I had to describe myself in a scent, it would be White Musk, just one spritz wakes me up and puts me in a better mood. And of course I always carry a bottle of water with me and a piece of fruit or nuts, along with receipts, mail, coupons and random papers I accumulate throughout my day…
