Lighten Up...Spring is here & Summer is coming.  I've got to just carry what I really need!!!

Bobby Pins:  Keep bobby pins in your purse and car so that you can be ready for quick-fix hair emergencies. They're small enough to be tucked away in your purse's compartments, or even inside of your wallet.

Neutral Shade of Lipstick:  Lipsticks are great for touching up your makeup after eating. Since most purses don't have room for a lot of cosmetics, find a flattering shade that's neutral or nude, so you've got a shade that flatters in any situation.

Nude or Light Pink Lip Gloss:  If you're not a lipstick wearer, lip gloss is a great alternative to lipstick because it can moisturize your lips and make them look plump. It's great for freshening and brightening your face after eating, drinking, or talking for a long period of time.

Nail Care Set:  A nail file comes in handy for when you break or chip a nail unexpectedly. Nail clippers are also useful for trimming nails before filing them down. Use a pair of scissors to remove tags from new purchases, and to open difficult packages

Hand Sanitizer or Wipes:  Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer or wipes in your purse for the times when you can't get to a sink. It comes in handy when you're shopping in crowded malls, at fairs or visiting parks. You'll also find yourself using hand sanitizer before dining out because nobody wants to eat with dirty hands!

Breath Mints or Gum: Keep these with you at all times so you can have fresh-smelling breath.

Body Mist or Perfume: Keep some of your favorite scents with you while on the go.

Hand Lotion:  If you use sanitizing gels, your hands may be drying out.  So, have a bottle of unscented hand cream or lotion with you.

Night Out: Carry only what is absolutely necessary.  All you really need is your favorite lip product, blotting papers or pressed powder, wallet, phone & keys.  If you have room, a bottle of hand sanitizer or wipes is great.
