Being a woman we carry a lot around with us. Makeup, brushes, pens & pencils, notebooks and if you have kids tack on about 100 more items to that. That’s a lot of stuff to bring with you everywhere you go. I have a lot of purses but I’ll tell you, I still cannot seem to keep all my stuff organized in my purse. I swear that some days I feel like I have a Mary Poppins purse. What I found that turned into my organizing savior was a leather bag organizer. Now obviously, it doesn’t have to be a leather bag it can be any material that you like but the point is that it made finding my things a lot simpler and kept me organized on the go!
See, whenever I have my purse I’m usually going to spend at least 5 minutes digging through it to find my keys, chapstick or even my wallet. A lot of the times I’m running into a store and I don’t need to lug all that stuff around. That is when I realized how much I needed my leather organizer bag. It is a little leather bag that I keep in my purse that I can grab quickly and has all my essential stuff in it. It has plenty or room for my phone and a few other personal items plus pockets on he outside that fit my keys, I.D. and whatever other small stuff I will NEED. Because we need to face it ladies, we carry way more stuff in our purse than we ever really need. I know I tend to carry “what if” stuff. What if I need this specific shade of lipstick, or what if I need this perfume today or what if my kid throws up or makes a mess and I need the handy wipes. The point is its great to have all that stuff available but if you’re running into the grocery store to pick up a few items you certainly don’t need to lug around your big ol’ purse with all your what ifs. You know that you will end up at the check stand searching through all of that stuff just to find your wallet, money or I.D. We’re busier than ever these days so we need to get in and get out.
My leather bag cost me about $80 and usually that’s a bit on the expensive side for me, but it was worth it. Plus, I know this leather bag will last me a long time. You can find cheaper leather bags and other materials that are about half the price and are just as effective. The point is to try and take the minimal about of things with you to help save you time. If I had a $1 for every 5 minutes I spent looking for something in my purse, I could buy a few Coach purses!
