I enjoy watching YouTube videos. One day I stumbled on women sharing “What’s In Your Handbag” clips which I found strangely entertaining. I thought it might be fun to share what brand of bag I carry and what’s inside. It’s funny and interesting how a handbag can reveal much about one’s personality!
My everyday bag is a solid black Vera Bradley Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody made of recycled cotton. I love it. For an everyday bag, I enjoy a crossbody because it keeps me hands-free and it’s easily accessible when I need to grab something in it. The zippered pockets assure me nothing will escape. My favorite feature? I can use an antibacterial wipe to keep it fresh and clean.
In the main pocket is my thin black wallet that holds my license, some credit cards, and some cash. Of course, I also have a recycled plastic makeup bag adorned with cats. Inside is an eyebrow pencil, some dental floss, and a small collection of lip products. My favorites are my cotton candy-flavored Chap-Stick and marshmallow-scented clear lip gloss.
In the second zippered pocket, you can find my two “must haves” which are reading glasses and my cell phone. In zipper number 3, I usually stash some coupons, receipts (which I take out after a shopping day and file if needed), and car keys.
My purse is fully functional and super organized. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while that should come as no surprise. That’s just how I roll.
Remember the 70s game show, “Let’s Make A Deal”? Occasionally, the host, Monty Hall, would ask the audience if they had something obscure in their handbag. If you showed him a broken crayon, a box of raisins, or whatever he requested, you won money. I’m positive I would never win. What’s inside my bag is basic and boring.
We all have our favorite designer, color, and style of bag, and, indeed what we choose to carry inside is uniquely different from one another. However, I’m certain we agree on one thing. We would feel lost if we went anywhere without it. So don’t forget to grab your purse on your way out the door today!

Cute post! I do remember Let’s Make a Deal and how Monty would ask for obscure things and the women would go digging through their handbags. Like you, I’d never win, as my purse is always organized. However, if I were going on that game show, I’d load my purse with all kinds of weird things ahead of time, ha ha. I have a bunch of different purses (I like quality ones). Right now I’ve been carrying a small crossbody made by Vaan & Co. They make them out of recycled leather. In the main pouch I have a small zippered case for my license, debit card, insurance card, and a couple of store credit cards. I also have a TUL pen (my favorite brand), a Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm, a mask, a small lotion, and a travel case of dental picks. In the little pocket in front, I have cash. In the two small pockets in back…one has a few alcohol eye glasses wipes and a cleaning cloth and the other pocket has a few packets of organic stevia. (For if I go out to breakfast and have coffee.)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Haha! We obviously think alike with our organized purses! I use wristlets a lot when we go out somewhere quickly. That means just my phone and lip gloss! I’ll have to look into Vann and Co. Sounds like my kind of purse. Thanks for reading my quirky post! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, my friend!
