Ladies! What's in your...?
purse. I feel like I'm carrying too much stuff and wanted to check in with other women.
I have the usual, a wallet, glasses case, sunglasses (2 pair - 1 for reading), numerous lipsticks and balms, three sets of keys (car, house, work), a mesh bag for receipts, a bill that needs to be paid, one prescription medication, a bottle with ibuprofen, supplements, a number of ink pens, a post-it note pad, card case, a lucky rooster, two nail polishes, Head-on (apply directly to the forehead), beads I bought this weekend, tweezers, folding scissors, and business stuff I need to take care of today. And my bag weighs under five pounds!
How about you?
Be sure to star me if you think I carry too much junk!

I do think that's a lot of junk but, unfortunately, I have a lot of the same stuff. You probably don't need the nail polish or the card case but it seems like the rest of it is necessary.

Get rid of most of the junk. I carry a small light purse. It has my drivers license, a credit card, my insurance card, a change purse for money, a small brush, one small pen, and my car and house keys. And a cell phone when I don't have a pocket. I wear my sunglasses. Business stuff doesn't belong in your purse. Either put it in your lap top bag or get a brief case. Why would you need ibuprofen, supplements, head-on...do you get headaches a lot. Take your vitamins at home. And do your grooming at home...you won't need tweezers, balms, and nail polish. You only need 1 color lipstick at any one time unless you are going to change your cloths. Get yourself a small pill case for your prescription medication if you need it during the day. You can throw a couple of ibuprofen in with that if you must. And you only need 1 pen at the most. Why do you need a mesh bag for receipts. How much do you buy in a day. If you buy more than can be put into your coin purse, throw the receipts into the bags with your purchases. And dump the bill that needs paid into the mail.
You don't need all that junk.

I have a wallet, sun glasses, 4 lipsticks, 2 Carmex's, 1 hand cream, numerous receipts, a coupon file, a nail file, 5 pens, a date book, a pair of scissors (for clipping coupons @ lunch), a small pad of paper, a small bottle of Excedrine, some Jibbitz off my daughters shoe, a small 1st aid kit, a handfull of starlight mints, 2 packs of gum, Wet ones, and my car keys!
You must have a great bag to carry all that!

Lip balm-1, lipstick-1
wallet
1 pad, three tampons
pack of gum
tin of Altoids
Occasionally a small daily planner
That's it. If you want to consolidate things...get a small pill box
Cut down on the make up. Get a pencil bag for the pens and post-it notes.

wallet,
phone,
ipod,
pen,
paper of some kind,
purse to put change in (not that it ever ends up in it it, it's usually at the bottom of my purse)
for some reason there's a guitar pick in it, i'm not sure why, um.... that's about it. wait, sometimes there's tape, in case i'm holding something with fur, or something like that, then i can get it off (i've usually got a dark colored shirt on, and it's noticeable)
i would have keys, but i can't drive,
i also have a hair tie, and sometimes a brush
