OK so sometimes you will see this in magazines - a 'What's in your purse?' spread. I always find them so interesting! I've always wanted to share what I carry around..don't know why! So, ladies, what's in your purse?

My purse:

* Pink wallet :)
* Keys to may car, work, and house
* Separate keychain with keys to both my parents' houses, and to my best friend's car
* Orbit White peppermint flavored gum
* Checkbook
* Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets
* cell phone
* Cover Girl pressed powder compact
* Blue and black University of Kentucky Senior Challenge pen
* Digital camera batteries
* Lipsmackers Cherry 7UP flavored lip glass
* Lipsmackers Strawberry Kiwi Comet flavored sparkly lip gloss
* Two Almay Whipped Gloss sparkly lip glosses (name of colors rubbed off)
* Dessert by Jessica Simpson lip gloss in Slip (mmm)
* MAC Lipglass in Lust
* Clinique Different lipstick in Sweet Honey
* L'Oreal ColorJuice lip gloss in Watermelon Crush
* L'Oreal ColorJuice lip gloss in Sugar Coated
* Carmex lip balm

OK, so can you tell I am obsessed with lip gloss? I love it! I buy more and more all the time. And there's not a single one in my purse that I don't wear at least once a week. I'm a big dork! :D

Jen, I think you need a briefcase!! :eek: That's a lot of stuff!

Isn't it amazing? Men (at least my boyfriend) can get along with nothing but their wallet in their back pants pocket, keys in their hand, and maybe a cell phone in their front pocket. HOW?

09-22-2004, 03:47 PM

Well, hubby likes to put his junk in MY purse when we're out. :mad: Get your own, lol.

Oh boy, if we are going to start listing purses I could go on all day! My current favorite is my new black tweed one I just got at Target today :D

I have the girlie essentials in my purse too - I hide them in the inside zipper pocket! I need a little case or something to carry that stuff in!

I keep telling him to get a man purse (like Joey did, on "Friends") but he won't. *sigh* So when we go out, his keys and cell phone always go in my purse and anything else he may have that HE doesn't want to carry!

09-22-2004, 04:16 PM
Oh let's see...

*Cell phone 90% of the time... it's not really mine, we bought it so we could use it for camping, but since I can't guarentee what time my dad will pick me up from school he trusts me to take it to school.

*House key to the house that is now my aunt and uncles.

*Miscellaneous bracelets, a ring/watch thing, and a glow-in-the-dark cockroach Jesse gave me :D ;)

*My agenda for school... I have A LOT of things written in there that I need!

*Spanish Dictionary for school (note that my purse is used for a lot of my school crap)

*Spare change... I think its only 50 cents though... maybe 51 cents, Nate gave me a penny yesterday :rolleyes:

*Lotion... from BABW... this Tangerine/Mandarin Orange scent.... I loooove it.

*Millions of pens and pencils... I always lose them.

*Chapstick

*My ID... which I lost... so there's an empty ID space... :o

*My 35mm camera

*Film

That's about it! :o I don't trust my bag to carry tampons/pads... people like to look in it and that's the last thing I want them finding/falling out! :o :o :o

It's the opposite for me! My husband wears baggy pants, so when we go places, he carries my ID, lipstick, and compact. I just forward my calls to his phone so we only have to carry one phone.

Firstly I carry only a small shoulder bag, as carrying big bags around upset my aches and pains.
I have NO MONEY in my purse, well hardly ever, I use my eftpos card all the time.
A cell phone.
A lipstick and mirror.
Pictures of my children.
Heaps of useless cards, with freebies once you have bought so many of the product, you collect stamps.
that is about it, very boring isn't it?

09-22-2004, 06:16 PM
Lets see now what I do have in my bag. There is my cell phone, a small purse to carry all the money I don't have, a check book, car keys, lots of papers, oops was that a snake or a mouse? There is no telling what you would find in there! It really does need a good cleaning. Hubby puts his things in there too sometimes.

Anyway, I think most of the junk I carry is junk!

Since I don't have a purse, and I basically use the front pocket of my backpack as a purse, i'll list what's in there :D


-Hand Sanitizer... I can't stand the feel of dirty hands.
-Numerous pens/pencils
-Numerous notes, drawings, etc.. from friends.
-Carmex lip balm ( I LOVE that stuff!)
-Burts Bees Peppermint lip balm (Love it!)
-Numerous other lip balms
-Calculator
-Jelly Bracelets from my friend Nikole
-Pads/Tampons *just in case*
-School schedual
-Student ID
-Probably a few dimes/nickles
-Digi Camera, ATM.. I brought it to school today
-CD player, Headphones, and CDs
-Batteries
-Pictures of the mutts
-Hair brush
-Extra spearmint gum (the best in the world)
-Altoids (addiction)
-Sunflower seeds (addiction#2)

I'm sure i'm missing something. I've never liked carrying purses, backpacks are fine though.

I normally just stuff things in my pockets (brush, money, gum, lip balm, and any notes from the day) I can't even count how many times and tube of lip balm has gone through the washing machine. :p

-Spare dog leash
-money
-dog treats
-house key

LOL! I hate letting my friends look into my purse for that very reason. :p I do keep pads in my purse *just in case*, but I put them in the small inside pocket, zipped up where no one can see ;), and avoid letting my friends look into it to begin with. I don't think its a big deal if they do see it though........because after all, they're girls themselves. It would be embarrassing if my brother saw it though. :o

I try to keep my purse light, and don't carry it unless I'm driving myself. When I do take it along, it has...

My wallet (with my driver's lisense, student ID, some cash/change, etc.)

Keys to the house and cars

A hair brush

Napkins

Mints

A nail clipper

Lotion

Lip Balm

Sunglasses

Cell Phone

LOL -I have NO idea why the ziploc is in there - it probably had girl stuff in there at one time. The flashlight (it is very small but bright) is for things like when I forget to leave on the porchlight and need to find the hole to put my housekeys in the door. It has also come in handy at the movies when I need to search for something in my purse:D

I actually found a purse with little card pockets under the front flap so it doubles as my purse/wallet. I like things as simplified as possible.

I just keep the basics in it. Driver's license, my 1 credit card, PetCo Pals card, car insurance card, checkbook, pen, list if I'm getting groceries, cash if I have any. I generally keep my car keys in my pocket.

That's about it. :)

Depends on which purse I'm carrying:)

*chapstick
*keys ( 2 sets of car keys, house and mail keys, work keys)
*pen
*tissues

*pad of paper
*a few more pens
*poo bags
*small bottle of advil
