I like to think of myself as a planner. As such, I prefer my handbag be stashed with everything I need on a daily basis and any surprises that life may throw my way.
Currently in my “Louie”:
- Makeup bag (see detail of contents, below)
- Wallet
- ID
- Credit cards
- Debit card
- $20 cash (I usually don’t carry cash, but always keep a $20 for emergencies)
- Business cards
- Pictures of my family
- Coupons
- Receipts (which I take out and organize about once/week)
- Checkbook
- Sunglasses
- Keys (complete with bottle opener, USB, and my favorite “d” keychain)
- Two of our wedding koozies (one of each color)
- Pen
- Blistex (one of my favorite products, as noted in this post)
- Rose Salve (also one of my favorite products, as noted in this post)
- Hair clip
- Headphones
- iPhone USB charger
- iPhone 6
Although most of the items I have are ordinary for any woman to carry, I like to think of my makeup bag as the most detailed and prepared. This is what I keep in my makeup bag:
- CeraVe face lotion (one of my favorite products, as noted in this post)
- Chanel face powder (also one of my favorite products, as noted in this post)
- Concealer (Estee Lauder ‘Double Wear’ Concealer)
- Oil absorbing blotting sheets
- Body lotion (favorite here)
- Hand sanitizer (favorite here)
- Mini hair brush
- Emery board nail file
- Nail clippers
- Tweezers
- Band-aids
- Neosporin
- Personal daily medications and vitamins
- Ibuprofen
- Travel contact case (w/ mini bottle of contact solution)
- Ear plugs
- Extra bobby pins and hair ties
- Safety pins
- Mini screwdriver (have had forever, from a sunglasses cleaning kit)
- Feminine products
It may seem like overkill, but being organized and having these items on hand keeps me organized, prepared, and most importantly at ease. 🙂
I love that you keep koozies in your purse! I thought I was the only one.

Definitely not! Most of my girlfriends from college do! When you have a diet coke/coke zero addiction… 🙂
