I love the American Express tagline, “Don’t leave home without it.” But, beyond the requisite credit card, what is ‘it’? And, is it possible to carry all of ‘it’ in a bag that won’t give you a lower back ache? The short answer is yes – and to think in terms of ‘travel’ sizes. Not knowing what surprises your day holds in store, here is a list of are some of the items (aside from the obvious: cell phone, cosmetic essentials, keys, sunglasses, and wallet) you’ll want to make sure leave the house with you.
- Beauty Supplies
- Emergency Money
- Feminine Products
- Medicine
- Packaged Snacks
- Pen and paper
- Personal hygiene
- Safety pins/mini-sewing kit
- Tissues
Sound like a lot to carry on a daily basis? If so, place everything you think you need in your purse. Carry it for a while, and then re-evaluate its contents. Decide what you can and can’t live without. And, don’t forget to clean out and rid your bag of any old receipts, wrappers, and trash on a regular basis.
Now, go forth…and be prepared!
