Some of the items in a lady’s handbag might have utterly no use at all. To curb having a handbag full of useless items, here are essentials every lady should carry around:
1.Hand sanitizer
If you ride public transit, you need hand sanitizer. Opt for something with vitamin E or a moisturizing agent so your hands don’t get dried out.
2. Tissues
You never want to be without one of these if you feel a sneeze coming on.
3.Pocket perfume or vapouriser
Due to daily activities like commuting, our fragrances can wear off. Keeping a pocket perfume or vaporiser around will make sure we have a go-to when refreshing our fragrance.
4. Lip gloss or lip balm
Depending on your preference, it’s always a big YES to have your preferred lip balm or lip gloss product in your handbag to keep your lips moisturised throughout the day.
5. Zippered pouches
Every purse needs at least three of these: one for beauty supplies, one for first aid and small necessities, and one for receipts, business cards, and other loose paper.
6. Aquaphor
There are 20 uses for this cure-all drugstore moisturizer, according to Cosmopolitan magazine. Basically, if you’re going to carry a hand cream in your purse, it should be this one. Models swear by it.
7. Stain-eraser pen
Not only will this save you from going through the day with a coffee stain on your shirt, it may also help a friend or colleague (or boss!) who’ll be forever grateful.
8. Notebook and pen
Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, stay-at-home-mum, or employee, you’ll agree that almost on a daily basis, there’s always at least one need for taking down an important thing down in your notebook or notepad.
9. Healthy snack
Working through lunch shouldn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s good to have a filling snack in your purse.
10. Cardholder
For city dwellers, quick and easy access to your subway card or that all-important Starbucks card is paramount.
