Being a lady requires you to be well-groomed throughout your entire day, and because of this, you always need to have grooming essentials in your purse. Some people even go as far as calling lady’s wallets treasure troves because, as the name suggests, you'll always find treasure in there. If your goal is to be ‘that’ lady, then ensure that you never leave your house without the following essentials.
Lip Gloss
There’s no worse feeling than feeling your lips crack away with every second and not being able to do anything about it. This is why, as a lady, it's important to always have lipgloss in your purse. With just one move into your purse, you'll be able to access your sweet-smelling lip gloss and leave your lips hydrated in no time. Moreso, how can the people you are having a conversation with take you seriously if your lips look like they are about to fall apart? They may not be able to tell you this directly but chances are that their outlook on you will change. You should, therefore, always have your lipgloss with you so that when you need it, it's within reach.
Wet Wipes
Gratitude goes to the person who first invented wet wipes because they are indeed, a very handy element to have in your wallet. This is especially true if you have children as they will come in handy from time to time. Whether your kid’ hands suddenly dirty up, they soil their clothes while playing outside or they bowl their eyes out after not getting what they wanted, wet wipes will ensure that you get ahead of that situation with just one wipe. Even if it's just for yourself, you never know when you'll need this magical item; thus, you should just keep it in your purse.
Hand Lotion
Having hydrated hands is one of those feel-good activities that are often underestimated, yet they are necessary. Unless you want to deal with your skin peeling all year round on your hands, you just have to make sure that you apply lotion to your hands every time you wash them or come in contact with moisture-absorbing elements. That way, your hands will remain soft and supple, just like a lady’s hands should be. So go ahead and grab your favourite hand lotion and pop it into your purse to experience moisturised hands throughout the day.
Mints
Oral hygiene says a lot about a person without them introducing themselves. It is also not only for you but the people who are around you as they will suffer even more than you if you don't take care of your mouth. I mean, how would you feel if someone moved in close to you to whisper something, and then you instantly get blinded by the odour that is coming from their mouth? Probably annoyed and agitated isn't it? For you to avoid being the one to cause such discomfort to others, just make sure you keep a pack of mints in your wallet so that on days when you feel your breath being rather stinky, you just get ahead of the situation. On days when you also eat foods that leave you smelling weird like garlic, having mints in your wallet will also come in handy.
Safety Pins
You never know when a button will decide to pop out of your top or when your zip decides to get stuck on you. This is why you, therefore, just need to always be prepared for such situations so that when they happen, you aren't stranded. Although it may seem old-fashioned to carry around this item in your purse, the truth is that wardrobe malfunctions happen all the time. This is why it's better to be safe and to carry around the safety pin than sorry when you are suddenly stranded.
Compact Mirror
Having a mirror in your bag is a must when it comes to purse essentials. This is because, throughout the day, you'll need to make adjustments to the way you look. So, whether it's for quick make-up touch-ups, to check if there’s anything that is stuck between your teeth, or to just feel secure in your appearance, a compact mirror will come in handy.
Travel-size Perfume
Smelling good is a must, especially if you have to interact with other people throughout your day (which is almost inevitable). By keeping a travel-sized perfume in your bag, when you feel like your perfume has evaporated away, you can quickly spritz some more over your body and enjoy the luxurious feel that you will have. Many people say that their first impression of the people they meet is stamped by the way that person smells, and by ensuring that you smell good, you make sure to stamp the right message to the people you interact with.
Sanitizer
If your hygiene is of great importance to you, then you need to make sure that you always have sanitiser in your purse. This is because there are so many germs just roaming around, and whenever you touch money, a railing or shake someone’s hand, these germs are constantly being transferred to you. Therefore, to ensure that you get rid of these germs before you transfer them to your face or food, you need to sanitize your hands at all times. That way, you'll avoid being unnecessarily ill and constantly catching onto bugs.
