Ladies we all carry them. Handbags. Some are large. Some are small. There are shoulder bags, hobo, clutch, bucket, cross body or evening bags. Not matter what we have some. Some of us have a bunch. You know who you are.
Even some men carry a man bag, murse or a messenger bag.
As today is National Handbag day. I think it is a good day to clean them out and get them organized.
You know the drill. Empty your bag and determine what you really need in there. What you don’t need, do not put back. Organize your receipts; if you need them you need to put them in a folder or a safe place. Your purse if probably not the safest place to keep them.
Strive to keep the loose change, trash and other unnecessary items out of your purse. Clean it out frequently. Organize your makeup in to a small zippered makeup bag.
Use the pockets of your handbag to keep the items you use on a frequent basis. Have a designated spot you keep your phone, your keys and other items. Spare change can get quite weighty. No need to add weight.
Are you frequently digging for your keys?
I use a carabiner for my keys. I always know where they are and they can’t migrate to the bottom of the bag.
If you keep your glasses in a hard case, they will last longer and be less likely to be crushed, broken or scratched.
I don’t switch handbags very often. But if you do and you have LOTS of handbags, now is a good time to thin the herd. Let a few of those handbags go. Do you have a favorite black bag with a broken zipper or tattered and worn out handle? Have you resorted to duct tape? Let it go or take it to the shop and have it repaired. Some of the nicer handbag manufactures will refurbish your bag for a nominal fee.
My dear friend keeps an old handbag in her car that she has turned into a Ms. blessings bag. It has socks; Personal hygiene items (tampons, pant liners, pads, etc.) a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and shampoo (hotel size are perfect).
I love your comments. Thanks

I am feeling so very good right now!! I keep my keys on a caribiner also so I don’t lose them and whenever my husband drives us anywhere that is my purse de-cluttering time. He just shakes his head but it works great because all I am doing is sitting there.
