Jumpsuit on sale for $33 – Wearing a Size 0
You know what they say, you’re never supposed to ask a lady what’s inside of her purse, but lucky for you guys, I’m opening it all up for you today! It’s really weird though, I’ve never quite understood that saying until sitting down to write this post. I’ve just never felt secretive or private about what’s inside my purse…. but having to sit down and explain myself for each and every little item in it felt very personal lol?
Then again, I share everything with ya’ll, so what’s new!?
I’ve always taken pride in the fact that my purse has everything I could ever need. I’m just very Type A and I like to be prepared for anything and everything. Especially with the amount of traveling we do! Some may think it’s weird but to each their own. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, while in San Diego for my friends Bachelorette Party that I realized how much of a “Mary Poppins Bag” my purse really is! Our Bride, Kacey, had somehow broken her “Bride Crown” before the weekend even started and was desperate to find super glue. When I told her that “I had super glue!”, everyone around was so shocked and caught off guard. I guess I didn’t realize that everyone doesn’t carry super glue around with them lol? That’s when I decided that maybe I really do carry a lot unusual, yet handy items in my purse and that some of yall might find them interesting!
So without further ado…..
A PEEK INSIDE MY PURSE
It may not look that spectacular, but let me tell you, it’s all about organization!
While it’s not always this organized (!!) I really do try to keep it this way. I’ve looked into getting purse organizers like this one here, but I’m honestly pretty content with my system and am worried that it’s just too many pockets for me lol.
“Things not pictured in my purse…. that I also usually have”
My Laptop & A Water Bottle
WHERE I KEEP MY KEYS
Since my purse is pretty packed, I try to keep my keys in an as accessible spot as possible! Instead of letting them fall to the bottom and having to constantly search underneath everything for them, the side zipper is where they go!
A BREAK DOWN OF IT ALL
(Otherwise known as my “tech” pouch)
I was almost positive they discontinued this wallet, but I was able to find it on sale here! I’ve had it for a few years and it’s literally the best wallet! My favorite feature on it though is the open face cardholder, which makes it super easy for getting out my most used cards and ID.
(4) iPhone (Case is from Loopy Cases!)
Cosmetic Pouch
WHAT’S IN MY “TECH” POUCH
This slim little pouch is one that came with my purse but is so handy! You can use any slim pouch you might have but in case you’re on the hunt for one, a few similar ones are below!
This “tech” pouch is what holds all of my chargers (normally for both my phone and laptop), pens and Airpods. I like to keep these separate from the rest of the stuff because I tend to reach for these more for work than I do everything else!
Also, I bought this silicon case for my Airpods so that Colton and I would stop getting ours mixed up lol.

MY COSMETIC BAG
The real “Mary Poppins” Section of them all.
Also just to note so that you all don’t think I’m crazy – these are just things that I have needed in the past, have picked up along the way and have decided were so handy!
For all of those last-minute stains (cough, cough Colton)
Yes, mints over gum. I did the whole 30 a year ago and the only habit I was able to quit was gum lol.
I’m a crazy person and use sanitizer for everything. Especially when at the airport and after getting gas!
Bc like, I’d rather be safe and we all have to go at one point or another! Am I right??
Also, if you are ever traveling and sharing a hotel/bathroom with friends, just leave it in the bathroom for the duration of the trip! Everyone is always really thankful its there and saves what could be an awkward moment for someone.
Colton’s Mom got me into these and I’m literally obsessed! They are super compact and are the best for cleaning your sunglasses!
I’ve gotten really bad migraines my whole life and Excedrin seems to be the only thing that works for me!
For yourself and for the poor girl in the bathroom asking every girl who enters for one.
I’m a crazy person about my nails and I have to keep them short unless they will drive me absolutely nuts. It’s a weird habit I picked up from my dad… I don’t know what to tell ya’ll lol.
I know it sounds random, but let me just say, in the past month since I added this to my bag, I have used it numerous times!
(11) Travel Size Natural Deodorant
After switching to Natural Deodorant, I have gotten used to always caring some with me!
The key is to have one that will look good with everything! I normally switch up my shades and will throw whichever one I am wearing that day in there. On the days I don’t wear any though, I always have one of my “go-to” shades in my purse at all times, just in case!
Bc you can never have too many hair ties….
For chapped lips, dry or irritated skin, various medical reasons and more! Aquaphor could literally be used for everything.
(16) Evian Facial Misting Spray
I literally live and breath by this misting spray and use it every single day. Not only is it super hydrating for your face and great to use when traveling, I personally like to use it anytime I need a pick me up! It’s so refreshing, feels amazing on my skin and wakes me up instantly!
What are some of the random things you guys keep in your purses??
xo,
Lauren

I love these kind of posts!
Thanks babe!!
I was actually surprised to see you have the Poo-Pourie spray! I’ve been wanting one but think it’s a hoax. So it really does work?! I’ll definitely be picking one up the next time I’m out running errands, I always see them by the check out line.

OMG GIRL YES!!!!! They work so well. You’ll get one and then you’ll find yourself putting them in every bathroom for guests, carrying travel-sized ones with you and bringing them on vacation too. Instead of trying to “coverup” a smell, it prevents it!
