The other day I was flipping through Glamour Magazine. It told me I need a hot little bag. While have serious doubts that I NEED anything besides food, water, and shelter, I do like the unintentional simplification challenge. So I tried it. I dumped out my purse and only kept the 5 most essential items. So here goes…
First, my $9.99 Target purse. It is actually apparently a camera bag.
My iPod. Use it at work, at the gym, in the kitchen, in the car, basically all the time.
An assortment of painkillers
Papermate Profile Pen. Love these.
Cherry Chapstick
My wallet, a $15 swapmeet find, and doubles as a clutch when I’m feeling fancy.
Bonus! Curly unpacking my purse.
What would your 5 items be?
Minimalist Bride 
Love it! And your rat is super cute. đŸ™‚
Oh, totally forgot! Wallet, cell phone, lip balm, small water bottle, nail file.
Wallet, phone, pen (uniball vision), my little notebook/peripheral brain, and lip balm. And I really can’t think of a number six. Why is my purse such a mess? That’s my project for tomorrow. đŸ™‚
Oh man I need to play with the white balance on my camera. Everything is so yellow! Looks like when you strip it down, everyone only needs some basic stuff in their purse!
Keys, wallet, carmex, cell phone. That is it!
Wallet, phone, keys, water, pen and notebook- ah, I’ve gone over.
I purposely excluded my phone because it spends more time outside my purse than in it, so there you go, 5 đŸ™‚
