I’m always curious what other women carry around with them every day. I love finding out what makes other people’s lives a little easier, so that I can steal some ideas and maybe make mine easier as well.
Here is a list of my tried and true purse essentials, that are absolute game changers in my daily life:

Lip Balm:
At any given time, I have about a half dozen (or more!) lip products on me. Between me and my three daughters, someone always needs a touch up. Lip balm is a necessity, especially on days that I don’t feel like messing with lipstick.

Travel Perfume:
I always have a travel perfume handy so that I can freshen up if I’ve been traveling, or if I’ve just simply been away from home for a while.

Hand Cream:
Keeping skin hydrated is essential, especially in dry environments. My hands also dry out quickly from frequent washing and sanitizing, so it’s crucial to have a moisturizer handy.

Portable Charger:
I can’t count how many times my phone has died at the most inconvenient of times. I’ve learned to always keep a portable charger on me, in case I’m not in a position to be able to plug in my phone.
Facial Mist:
A quality facial mist is a great pick-me-up, and an instant refresher for the skin and makeup.
Identification:
For obvious reasons, having identification on hand is a must have at all times. My photo id is usually all I carry, but when traveling I make sure to have my passport.
Daily Planner:
I know that most people use their phones as their calendars/planners, but I’ve always been a pen and paper girl. I love a pretty planner; it helps motivate me to stay organized.
Wallet:
A good wallet is like a personal assistant- always ready with all your essentials. I like a large wallet with lots of compartments, so that I can keep everything in one place.

Sunglasses:
I truly don’t go anywhere without sunglasses; they’re both a wardrobe staple and a necessity on sunny days.

Purse Organizer:
I have a Louis Vuitton Speedy 30, which I love- but without an organizer, it’s like sticking my hand into the dark abyss when trying to find anything in it.

Shoulder Strap:
I didn’t want to spend $500 on a shoulder strap from Louis Vuitton to go with my Speedy Bag, so I found this amazing dupe on Amazon. It’s a perfect match to the bag!
Bonus: My Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Purse
This was an anniversary gift from my husband in 2023, and I absolutely love it! It’s always been my dream bag.
