There's really no time that I don't love being a girlie-girl, except for those few fleeting moments where I look at my husband who is not carting around a 10-pound handbag and develop immense jealousy.
Guys really have it good in that regard, and also in the fact that they can go from PJs to ready in 9 minutes flat. (sigh)
Other than that -- females are definitely the fairer sex, and if we're going to cart around those heavy handbags, may as well fill them with fun goodies.
Here's a glimpse at what you can find in my purse at this very moment.
{1} Two phones.
Yes, I hate being that girl juggling two phones. When I first accepted my job 5 years ago, I thought it was pretty sweet. Now, it's a bit annoying. I can't combine the two due to HIPAA regulations and the nature of my job. So for now, I'm a two-phone gal. And for the record ... iPhones blow Blackberries out of the water.
{2} Two books of matches.
Somehow these just collect in my purses. From time to time, I add them to a glass canister in our dining room.
{3} Bath & Body Works PocketBac.
The perfect size, and they truly do smell oh-so-yummy! I used to think they were unnecessarily scented, but then I got tired of feeling eyes on me in airplanes when a distinct smell of spilled vodka (in actuality, my "no-frills" drugstore brand hand sanitizer) filled the air.
{4} The all-important koozie.
Because you never know when the mood may strike you to keep your beer cold and feminine-looking.
{5} The cult classic, Rosebud Salve.
The wonder product. It mainly goes on my lips, but also helps take care of those winter-fied hands with dry cuticles. I get mine from Sephora ($6 here) and it lasts a long time.
{6} My newest drugstore makeup experiment, Hard Candy Megawatt Smile.
I read about this in a magazine - conditioning lipstick on one end, brush-on teeth whitener at the base. I got the Shine On color, which is more of a nude color. I won't say I'm crazy about the conditioning lipstick portion (it doesn't have the staying power that I'd like) but the tooth whitener does seem to work well so far. Walmart carries this line and a tube will run you $6.
Oh, and um, the Splenda packets? I may accidentally get a little heavy-handed at the following places: Starbucks, Caribou, Dean & Deluca. They wind up somehow next to my home coffeemaker. Oopsies.
Do any of these make an appearance in your purse as well?
