I love handbags. I always carried a big bag packed full of all sorts of stuff, much of which was junk. I’d replace the bag every year or so when it wore out. Then, a couple of years ago I suddenly found myself wanting more bags. And so I got more. I have purses in a variety of colors now, some small and some large. I change the bag a lot more often now. When I travel I have a smaller bag in a larger bag. By doing this I am prepared to travel light and only use a crossbody, or tuck the camera and accessories in and set out to do some sightseeing.
I found that the only way I could quickly change bags is to streamline things. There are a few necessities that I always have on me, which move from bag to bag. Some of those things are actual necessities – car keys, house keys, stylus, wallet and reading glasses. The rest are my go-to personal items for keeping me feeling my best while I’m on the go – Always Xtra Protection Liners, eye liner, lip gloss, and pain killer.

These personal items are a must for me because they’re all small, meaning they don’t take up much room, as well as easy to find and refill after I’ve used them. Eyeliner and lip-gloss are my two must-have cosmetic items, with those two things I can quickly put myself together. Always Xtra Protection Liners pack a lot of power in their tiny little wrapper. I love that they come in individual wrappers now, years ago they were big and really noticeable. These are super discreet. No matter if it’s that time of the month, you’re doing a lot of laughing or if it’s just really hot and muggy out, women who like to feel fresh throughout the day will feel confident with these liners. The inner layer guides fluid quickly into the LeakGuardâ„¢ Core, helping to lock it away and keep you feeling dry and clean for up to ten hours.

These days my bag is usually filled with kids toys and goldfish crackers. I can’t wait till it’s MY bag again.
Camera, phone, brush, lip balm, rx, keys, coupons, change purse/wallet, pen.
Have to admit I love peeking into another woman’s handbag. I carry much of the same plus a jug of water and my planner.
I always have a small packet of baby wipes, my phone, my wallet, and a few other essentials on hand at all times.
I have a small purse so I have very little in it, but I always have “girl stuff” in there. I keep my Credit cards and my sunglasses in there and that is about all I can fit.
They’re so small. I almost didn’t notice them in your picture.
I love seeing what other people have in their purses lol. I always have Always too!
Definitely lip gloss, sun glasses and lotion. Of course, feminine products for the just in case times.
Lipstick for me for sure! The rest of my bag is filled with my kids junk!
I love the idea of having a smaller bag in a larger one. That is genius! My bag is filled with a ton of lip gloss and medicine it seems.
I need to clean my purse out pretty badly. It’s crammed with stuff I know I can throw out, but something other than necessities that’s always in my bag is some sort of chapstick. I can’t stand when my lips get dry during the day.
My cell phone is one of my must items for my purse. I can’t go anywhere without that. I also have a pen, my keys and coupons. Of course I carry some of the Always pads/liners too. You never know when you may need one.
I keep a lot of the same things in my purse. I really like having Always just in case!
Even my new purse isn’t that clean inside. Just yesterday someone commented that my purse was like a clown car with all of the stuff I have tucked away in there. I always have some sort of Always product in there along with everything else.
We have many of the same items in our purses! The only difference is I have lots of Tums and snacks for the pregnancy.
I do not carry a purse with me. I use a wristlet that is more of a wallet. When we go somewhere where i need to have a bag with me i always have wet wipes and snacks.
I always have my bag with me. I keep tissues and Wet Wipes in there. I always have a small makeup bag that i keep lip gloss and mascara in. I can always find hair elastics and gum in there as well.
I always have credit cards and gum. lol I might have a snack in there as well.
My bag can become a black hole if I am not careful! But I always make sure to have lipstick, lotion, and sunglasses in it!
We have about the same stuff. Lipstick, lip balm and wet wipes are a must.
Lately, I can’t go anywhere without water and snacks for my kids! And they usually get eaten/drank too!
Def lip gloss and sunnies here in florida. Water also. lol
