Essentials you need in your purse✨👜
👉🏾 **Wipe That Tush wipes:**
For wiping my hands after snacking on the go, or when I’m in a public restroom and need to be extra clean. (But honestly, it’s mostly for wiping my hands after snacking.)
👉🏾 **Body mist – Touchland Sparkling Bergamot:**
Perfect for those of us who carry smaller bags. Most body mists come in long bottles that don’t fit easily. I’m usually a vanilla girlie, but this was a gift and I surprisingly *love* the scent.
👉🏾 **Earbuds – AirPods Pro 🎧:**
Do you *need* AirPods Pro specifically? Probably not. These are for staying on social media in public without disturbing the public peace 🤫—but really, it’s because I don’t want to talk to anybody. I attach them to my house keys so I never forget them.
👉🏾 **Lens wipes – Target brand:**
Because I wear glasses.
👉🏾 **Gum – Five Gum (blue wrapper):**
Because I constantly feel like I have bad breath.
👉🏾 **Wallet:**
Just the essentials—ID and cards. I live in a state where I can’t add my driver’s license to Apple Wallet, so I still have to carry one around.
👉🏾 **Lotion – Gold Bond:**
She does the job. *REALLY* well. You know when your hands are moisturized but the skin between your fingers is still ashy? Not cute.
👉🏾 **Ibuprofen:**
For sudden headaches—and for others.
👉🏾 **Lip balm – Summer Fridays Sweet Mint 💋:**
If I were stranded on an island and could only bring one thing…it would be **lip balm**. Period. I’m currently obsessed with minty balms, and I love this one. My favorite so far is actually the one from Topicals though 🤫
👉🏾 **Sanitizer wipes – Wipe This Hands:**
Emergency sanitizer wipes for when I want to eat but can’t wash my hands.
👉🏾 **Phone 📱:**
Because how else would I stay connected to the world? 😁

Carrying the right essentials in your purse truly makes a difference in your daily comfort and preparedness. Beyond just physical items, I’ve found that organizing and customizing what I carry can also improve my mood and confidence on the go. For example, I always include sanitizing wipes alongside my lotion, similar to the Gold Bond healing lotion mentioned, because frequent hand sanitizing tends to dry out my skin, especially in colder months. Finding a lotion that penetrates well without feeling greasy is a game-changer. I also resonate with carrying a refreshing body mist; I opted for the Touchland Sparkling Bergamot after hearing great reviews, and it fits perfectly in my compact purse. The scent is uplifting without being overpowering. One practical tip is how earbuds can be a great tool beyond listening to music—they help create a personal space in busy public settings and prevent unwanted conversations. Attaching them to a keyring or small pouch helps avoid losing them, a smart organizational hack. Regarding cleanliness, I appreciate having lens wipes when wearing glasses or sunglasses, ensuring that my vision stays clear throughout the day. And gum or mints are indispensable for boosting confidence and freshening breath after meals. A minimalistic wallet with just your ID and essential cards keeps the purse light, especially when digital wallets aren’t fully supported, as mentioned. Including a small packet of ibuprofen has saved me from unexpected headaches on multiple occasions. Lastly, lip balm is irreplaceable—minty flavors add extra freshness, and it's amazing how it can significantly improve comfort throughout the day. By tailoring your purse essentials according to your lifestyle and daily needs, you can enhance both your convenience and well-being dramatically. These simple but essential items together form a small kit that prepares you for diverse situations, ensuring you feel empowered and ready.
