What's in your purse?
I thought it might be fun to post what's in your purse. Well, maybe not fun... but something to do, and an opportunity to clean it out? That's what I'm going to do.
My purse is so messy right now! Here's what's in it (dumped out):
okay, embarrassed, a bit gross. Here's the list.
5 used tissues (but not from blowing my nose)
2 unused but crumpled napkins
a wedding invitation for January
2 programs from church
Movie ticket stub for Inception seen on 7/30/2010
Hoola bronzing powder from benefit
Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45 (brush on powder sunscreen)
a pen
a menu from Hop Li Seafood Restaurant, a chinese food restaurant near me that i hoped delivered (doesn't)
eew - just discovered a piece of gum that's new, but so battered and crumpled that it's unusable
Anti-bac hand gel
2 pairs of contact lenses
1 empty contact lens case
3 packets of Splenda
My keys - 9 keys on there, don't know completely why; and 11 savings club tags
Make up bag - Rosebud Salve, Stila pressed powder foundation, Bobbi Brown cream blush, Chanel lipgloss, empty trial container of hope in a jar lotion, 2 hair bands, eew, lens rewetting drops, for some reason, in a dirty-looking sandwich bag, a Sephora sample of a Pacifica solid perfume, the business card for my engagement ring jeweler, Sheiseido lipstick, Revlon ColorStay lip pencil in Nude
A random piece of mail from Delta Dental
A comb
a quilted Hawaiian change purse that's gotten dirty
4 pieces of lint / unknown soft fuzzy thing
Makeup Forever Full Cover camouflage cream, some reason not in the makeup bag
another hair band
Gap oil perfume in an old scent - Faded Jasmine
tarte "The Toolbox" brow grooming kit
Wallet with CVS recycling tag on it (uh oh, I'm not opening the wallet - not really a wallet, a purselet from Coach that is full of an unknown number of cards, business cards, receipts, coupons, and who knows what
A cough drop
A penny
A paper clip
Sunglasses
a hair clip
A lab order - a blood test order from my doctor
A paper that's a referral to an ophthamologist for my vitreous detachment
a small piece of a Twix wrapper
a piece of paper with used gum wadded into it
what's this? I think it might be 2 pieces of a dried flower from when I had an orchid in my purse?
a prescription
10 business cards / reminders of doctor's appointments
A frequency card for Menchie's yogurt - get the 10th one free!
4 more pieces of that purple dried stuff
2 preferred customer cards
a gum wrapper
a random piece of aluminum foil type thing
19 crumpled receipts
and... 1 fortune cookie fortune that says: You will soon witness a miracle.
OMG, what a mess!!! It sounds way worse when enumerated in such a way. The miracle will be a clean purse for Jenjoo!
So, what's in your purse? it has to be better than mine!!
Re: What's in your purse?
LOL Jen! That's really funny. I wish I could see the pictures!
I use a backpack for school, not a purse, but it has books, wallet, 3 different lipsticks/glosses, old pay stubs and a lunch bag in it right now.

Heh, I don't carry a purse at this moment. Ever since college (when they gave us a free cardholder with our city bus pass), I go through phases where I just carry a cardholder, so it's not even a full-on women's wallet, but something that looks like this:
And I just carry that, phone, and keys. In it, I have my license, 2 credit cards, 2 ATM cards, no cash (I'm a cc person), and insurance (auto & health).
When I go into the office (couple times a week), I take my laptop bag with me (since I work from home half the time, so I take my laptop back and forth). In my laptop bag, I have 4 granola bars, headphones, (new) phone charger (since my old one got swiped from my desk!), and laptop (I have a cord for home and another for work so I don't have to carry the cord around). No pens, nothing else.
Come to think of it, I'm VERY unprepared if I ever get my period (although I do keep pads/tampons in my car for that). And I also have a small bottle of lotion in my car in case my hands get too dry. Not sure if/where I have chapstick/lipgloss though. I haven't used one in a while...heh.
Ha!! Love it. I just carry a coach wristlet when baby is not in tow. in my wristlet I manage to shove.
Two cell phones
Lip Liner
Lip Gloss
A LITTLE bit of cash
Costco receipt
Random resturant receipt
Credit Card
Debit Card
License
Costco Card
Flexible Spending Card
Subway card (left over from a visit to NYC)
Gymboree Rewards card
Insurance Card
