Peep Into My Bag
Come take a look inside my (purse)onal space. I feel like a woman’s purse or bag is forbidden territory - my husband won’t even look inside mine (not really sure what he’s scared of finding?), but since this is a safe space I figured I would show you what I keep inside mine. I am CONSTANTLY on the go throughout the day so all of these items help to get me by, especially on days that I might not have time to stop home.
Post Gym
Necessities
I’ve been using these Neutrogena makeup remover wipes for at least a decade. They’re safe on my skin and wipe off any post gym sweat.
I’m obsessed with the Kenra Volume Dry Shampoo. The scent is clean and it will make any dirty hair look the opposite. It also doesn’t dry my hair out like most other dry shampoos.
I’m probably not the only female that keeps a hair tie in my purse, however these hair ties are special. They prevent ponytail creases as well as breakage. They also help to prevent breakage, which if you use regular hair ties and wear your hair in a ponytail regularly, is bound to happen. You can purchase them here.
Post workout I’m ALWAYS hungry and need some sort of protein snack. I love Justin’s maple almond butter because its super tasty and an easy on the go quick snack. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll know that I have a love affair happening with Ancient Nutrition. These individual Collagen packets are perfect because they’re one serving and you can just pour it into any drink. I’ll be sharing a post on the importance of collagen soon, so stay tuned.
Everyday
Necessities
My wallet, duh. I’ve had this Tory Burch one for a few years and now I love it because I can fit all of my cards in as well as my cash. It’s the perfect size and easy to carry or throw in my pocket if I don’t have a purse on me.
I have a few favorite facial sprays, this Mario Bedescu one being in that favorites list. I love the smell and the glowy, dewy look it gives. I have combination skin, but in the Winter it tends to get very dry, and this stuff is always my best friend during those drying months. I also love it in the Summer - it cools and refreshes my skin when I’m hot and/or sweaty. I could honestly go on for days about my love of facial sprays, but I’ll save it (perhaps for another blog post?!).
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve been out and someone asks me for a nail file. You would think all females carry one around with them, but apparently I’m the minority with that. This Ulta mini file is perfect for carrying in my purse because it comes with a plastic case to keep it from getting dirty or bent.
Hand sanitizer. I’m a mom to a 5 and 3 year old. And I’m a germaphobe. Enough said.
My all time favorite lip balms are by Smith’s. It is so creamy and now comes in tubes and different flavors. I’ve been using it since before I can remember and will probably be using it for the rest of my life. It’s seriously the best.
And that about rounds it out. Obviously there’s constantly an exchange of race cars and/or Shopkins making their way into my purse, but these are the items I have on deck at all times. That being said, I’m always looking for the next best thing so let me know what’s in your purse that you can’t live without!
