What’s in your wallet? Wait, this is not the Capital One commercial. Today, I’m sharing the essentials to keep in your purse.

Eight Essentials To Keep In Your Purse

We’ve probably all played the “what’s in your purse” game a few dozen times in our lives.

If you’re not familiar with this game, don’t fret your pretty little head since you’re not missing ONE thing!

You dump your purse out and see if it matches up with what the game host is calling out.

Do you have a pen?

Yes.

Do you have a bobby pin?

Yes, like 10!

Do you have pads?

Yup.

Do you have lipstick or chapstick?

Double yes.

And so forth.

Now, you know how to play.

For the most part, there are certain things in my purse that are a MUST have!

1. Something for my lips. My lips cannot be dry. It would be a shame. A crime. My lips would go on strike if they didn’t stay moist at all times. So, thankfully, I keep at least one tube of ChapStick Total Hydration. Yes, I have other lip gloss sticks in my purse, but this ChapStick seems to work the best. It’s also 100% Natural, and advanced nourishing formula with argan oil and avocado butter and rose hip oils. 

A few other great things about the ChapStick Total Hydration:

100% Natural

Age defying

Advanced nourishing formula with argan oil and avocado butter and rose hip oils

Instantly smooths and moisturizes

Visibly renews lips

With omega 6 & 9

Clinically proven healthier looking lips

2. Pads. Like seriously. You just never know when that time of month slips up, and you forgot all about it. Yup, I’m bad with keeping track of when it was the “last time” and when it’s supposed to come again. It’s like that unwanted visitor that keeps coming back. Why can’t she just send me an email that says, “you’re not pregnant, you’re good to go this month?”

3. Pens. I have about five or six pens in my purse at all times, and all different colors. Hey! You never know when you may have to sign a Bill. Or a check. Or several papers from school all at the same time.

4. Bobby Pins. And even when I put them in my purse, they STILL disappear! How? Just HOW!

5. Advil Vials. For those little headaches and PMS moments! Nothing’s stronger, longer lasting or better on your tough aches and pains than Advil, and nothing works on more pains than Advil (among OTC pain relievers).

6. Spare change. You never know when you will have to feed the meter, the kid wants to ride the .1 cent pony, or they need snack money for school.

7. Stuff to help you stay well. I like to keep a few oils on me, as well as vitamins. It’s that time of year where everyone is getting sick, and I need to keep my immune system healthy. I keep vitamins like the Centrum VitaMints and Emergen-C Immune + Chewables on hand. I hand them out to the boys. It’s important to be healthy in every aspect of our lives. 

Benefits of using Centrum VitaMints:

• New Centrum VitaMints are adult multivitamins with a refreshingly minty taste you can take/enjoy any time of day with or without food or water.
• No chalky taste, just cool mint flavor
• Introducing a refreshing new way to get your vitamins
• Essential Vitamins. Minty Taste!

Benefits Emergen-C Immune+ Chewables

• More Healthy Days, More Healthy Nights
• “Let Your Healthy Out”
• Immune support

8. Hand Sanitizer. Yes, hand sanitizer is just a must. Do I really need to explain why?

And of course, there’s the obvious debit cards, money, driver’s license and other important papers.

I stopped by my local Walmart to pick up my purse essentials. Thankfully, they had everything I needed right in one shopping trip, with all of them over in the healthy, hygiene area! {be sure to look on the end caps, since some of these items are new!}

There are also times that I don’t like to carry a purse, so I keep a small wallet with mini-versions of all the items listed above. These are my eight essentials to keep in my purse!

And no, we’re not playing the purse game.
