So let me explain what this is. I have a number of bloggers that I follow regularly. I love them. But funny enough, their blogs are completely different than mine. Which is weird to me because their blogs really inspired me to start one.
Anyhooooo - one of my favorites did this deal a few weeks ago where she had all of these guest bloggers on and they showed you what was in their purse and how they organized it. OMG! I was OBSESSED! So I had this thought - I love to read these but I never do anything like that on mine. Sooooo - this is where I find myself.
This is strictly just a "for fun" post. If you are looking for depth, you aren't going to find it here.
Here is the purse. My dad asked me this weekend if it was luggage. Rude! Clearly he doesn't know how important I am and all of the important things that I have to carry. I set him straight so...he knows now.
This is just a cheap Forever 21 purse. It will more than likely rip apart soon. I pack so much junk in there, purses don't stand a chance. Which is why I stopped buying expensive ones. It isn't worth it.
This is a view with all of my stuff in it. The older I get, I am better about keeping my purses junk free. You know - trash and stuff. I think it's the old lady in me. I am beginning to be all about function. I draw the line at the fanny pack though.

Here are the contents.
Now you see why I need a luggage-sized purse.
1. My planner
2. My make-up bag
3. My joural/notepad
4. My "hold that thought" sticky arrows
5. Kayley's glasses that I use because I wear hand me downs of my 13 year old
6. Kenra hairspray (or hair crack. Whatever you want to refer to it as.)
7. Lens cleaner wipes for my glasses
8. Vera Bradley zippy for my business cards
9. Container of office supplies
10. Tissues
11. Wet wipes
12. iPhone - my everything
13. My wallet
14. My peppermints
15. My in-ears for church
As I was typing these...right about #7, I could hear my husband's voice in my head calling me a dork. It's actually probably true but I will be the dork on time with my crap together. You "cool kids" can stroll in late unprepared. And I'm not letting you borrow a pen!
Here it is broken into sections so I can explain. Some of these I think might need explanation.
My planner goes everywhere with me. Here is a shot of this week so far....
Needless to say....there have been a few things going on. If I didn't have this, there would be no way for be to be able to get everything done. I am so thankful for it.
My "Hold That Thought" stickers are my fav! I found these years ago at Barnes and Noble and use them for my Bible. Then I started using them for everything. So now I purchase them whenever I see them because I am afraid they are going to stop being made. Sort of like my bobby pin obsession. What if they run out?? Actually - I shouldn't even share that with you because I don't want competition out there. So forget all of that. They're awful.
I have that plastic container or post-its and tabbies and paperclips and binder clips. Ok - I know that's SUPER nerdy but I don't want that junk floating all around my purse. My binder clips came in that container and it was the perfect size for that stuff. So I look at it as my way of helping the environment. I'm recycling something.
Ok - I am sooooo embarrassed that I carry a Liz Claiborne wallet. Not to mention it's patent leather....and hot pink. But it holds everything!!! UGH! You can make fun of me. I have it coming.
The Vera Bradley tiny wallet thingy is used to hold my business cards. I desperately needed something to hold them and this worked perfectly.
And yes - those are Kayley's glasses that I wear. I am so rough on things and would never purchase nice ones. So her hand-me-downs will just have to do.
The little black bag houses my in-ears for church. They are sort of crappy and I need some new ones. But those will do for now. I'm thankful they came with that little bag. They would have already been distroyed if they were just roaming around my purse all day.
I have already in previous blog posts discussed my obsession with peppermints. Well right at the moment, I am not putting them in a plastic baggy. My purse has a zipper section that holds them. But if I change purses, the granny bag will come back out.
Klennex - I seriously cry a lot. I like to think of it as the Holy Spirit in me seeing things through Christ's eyes. Not the fact that I am a hormonal basket case.
Lens wipes - I use a lot of hairspray. That should be explanation enough.
Wet Wipes - I started carrying these when I became a mother and have never stopped. Everything out in the public is filthy. These are a neccessity.
That is everything inside my make-up bag minus the hairspray. I am not married to any one make-up brand. I use a little of everything. And of course...bobby pins.
You should always have chapstick. Especially if you are married. My husband always needs chapstick.
I always carry concealer because as stated in previous posts, I have hobo bags under my eyes and its not cute.
Smashbox makes a really great nude lip gloss. Highly recommend it.
Kenra hairspray. Oh my! This stuff is amazing. Now - it's expensive. That little traveler is $6. A regular container is $30. But I promise, it's amazing!
Ok - that's all. Happy purse organizing! :)
