Essentials You Can Always Find In My Bag

by Lisa Heath

 

When I was younger I always had these itty bitty, cutesy purses. Once I became a mom, that changed. Now I like the larger purses that can basically double as an overnight bag. I still buy smaller purses – but they usually get very little love out of me. And if you have little ones – you know you always find special little “prizes” at the bottom of your purse… my son apparently puts his Minecraft mini figures in mine…unnamed

That’s my current Fall purse, and those little figures happen to be the army living in it right now.

Aside from the little village – I have some essentials that are in my purse regardless of the season. My must haves that get replenished and put into each new purse I use. Let’s take a look!

Cover

Neutral Lip Color

Colourpop

I always try to keep a neutral lip color in my purse so that it pretty much goes with anything I might be wearing. I’m not a morning person, and some mornings I run out of the house forgetting my lip color. My newest one is Kiddo from Colourpop Cosmetics.

EOS Lip Sphere

EOS lipbalm

I also like to keep an EOS Lip Sphere with me. I just picked up a new one – Vanilla Mint. My last one was running low and I either threw it out or my son stole it.. either one is possible.

Bobby Pins

pins

I always keep hair pins in my purse! A lot of times my hair drives me crazy and I end up pulling it up before the day is over – these help keep the flyaways tamed.

Hand Lotion

Lotion

You can usually find at least 3 different lotions in my purse at any given time. Most commonly the L’Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream. I buy a lot of their little gift sets and most have one, so I have several of these floating around.

Planner

Planner

I needed to get more organized so I have my Erin Condren planner. I’m still adjusting to using it – but I love it and so far it is keeping me on track.

Kotex Panty Liners

Kotex Liner

Kinda hard to see that there – isn’t it? As I’ve said many times – I have PCOS which makes it so I can go 3 years without a cycle, but when one hits it can be incredibly unpredictable and I don’t want to be caught unprepared. Every month I go through the PMS and other motions leading up to my cycle… but then nothing happens. Sometimes though – it does. Those are the days I wear one just in case – and it helps that the Kotex Lightdays liners are thin and almost feels like nothings there.

I usually have a couple of these tucked away in a zippered, hidden pouch in all of my bags.

I can’t do tiny purses either–mine look like the mailbags they had with the Pony Express!

Kiddo is by far one of my favorite lippies to have on me… so Yes, I’m all about that essential.

The Vanilla Mint EOS is next for me to try, I seen a Blackberry Nectar one at Target too, sounds interesting but Vanilla Mint is my jam, I’m sure.

I have to have enough room for crayons, little cars and a tiny teddy along with my personal necessities! Love your Coach.
