Ten things every lady should have in herpurse…

It’s a common joke that women have everything in their
bags; it is so bad that if you were to stop one on the
road and give her a ticket to any country in the
world, she’d be ready! Well, of all the things we
could possibly put in our handbags, here are the
Essential Ten!
Some kind of book!: Be it a novel, a writing pad,
some kind of ‘old skool‘ address book, or a sheet of
paper, it is important to have something in your bag
to take notes with, or to at least keep you company
when you get bored!
Tampons or Pads and Tissue: Because no one
wants to be stuck somewhere saying, ‘I really should
have gone to Shoprite…
‘ Hand sanitizer or wipes: On the average day,
you probably shake a million hands, touch a
thousand surfaces, and go to the bathroom. Imagine
all the germs you are touching and spreading and
touching and spreading and…You catch my drift.
Keep a sanitizer or wipes handy.
Phones and Gadgets: Phone… Duh! But gadgets,
like books, keep you company when no one else can!
Make Up, Mirror and Blotting Paper: It does
not have to be the full make up kit, but the essentials
like lipstick or lip gloss and powder are great. Then a
mirror, so you can discreetly check if you have meat
stuck between your teeth, and blotting paper to
absorb all that oil without ruining your make up.
Painkillers: For those pesky headaches or random
pains.
Hand Lotion: No matter how moisturised you are
before you leave the house, between washing your
hands for meals or shaking hands and holding
things, your hand loses the moisture. Dry hands are
not fun so keep the lotion handy.
Deodorant and/or Perfume: You can never tell
how long your day is going to get or which
emergencies may pop up, so it helps to have
something in your bag that keeps you fresh all day
long.
Breath mints or Gum: Because bad breath will
always be a no…
Money and Identification: Whether you are out
on a date or out for the day, there should always be
cash in your bag. There should also be a driver’s
license and another form of identification with you
