15 Essential Things a Woman should carry in her handbag… If she carries one.

A man is always advised ¨Never check a woman´s bag/handbag´´. Do you know why? It can be because it is rude or impolite to do so, or if you try to dig into it, you may end up finding her whole house in it. Sometimes, you may tell her ¨Your handbag is so heavy! What are you carrying, stones?

Let me enlighten you today in finding out what is in her bag. I will be giving you some of the everyday bag essentials a woman would carry with her.

Let’s find out now, yes?

1. Lip balm - Used to hydrate their lips. There are people who don’t find lipsticks very convenient (especially when they wear white clothing, you know why don’t you?). A lip balm can be very comforting and avoid dryness.

2. Old chits of paper – Be it grocery bills or small shopping lists, don’t tell me you don’t carry any, I won´t believe you.

3. Hand cream/Face cream – Women love keeping their skin soft and hydrated. Good thing too.

4. Perfume – Necessary.

5. Mask and Sanitizer – Need I give a reason why?

6. Wet wipes – Needed to remove half-erased make-up or to feel fresh.

7. Hairband/Clutch – A woman with longer than shoulder length´s beloved treasure. Need lots of them because they keep getting lost. Relatable, ladies?

8. House keys – Something a woman is always proud of. She makes a house into a home right? Better have the keys then.

9. Band-Aids for Blisters – You know the pain after wearing all those heels and getting those wounds on your ankles. This my ladies, will be a lifesaver for you because I feel you ladies!

10. Mints – Consumed to have fresh breath. Makes you feel professional at work and give you good hygiene.

11. Sanitary Napkins/Tampons – You may know when you would need them, but why take a risk? You can be a helping hand to someone in need as well.

12. Make-up Pouch – The entire collection of makeup accessories needed to look good.

13. Shades/Sunglasses – Cover their eyes from the hot sun and make your face look prettier. What a delightful invention!

14. Pepper Spray – A good thing to carry for your safety.

15. Foodstuff – if Mints won’t fulfil the hunger, they would have something else to munch inside.

As you now have got a rough idea of the things a girl or woman should carry in her purse/handbag. Don´t try sneaking into them anymore.

I must take a bow though to all you girls and ladies who are reading this. You show that you are much more prepared to look like a fresh flower any time of the day!
