I have to admit that my purse ends up looking like a black hole of mystery. I realized that I needed to clean out my purse after I reached in to grab an ink pen and discovered . . . a cold, hard ball in my purse! I honestly do not remember putting that apple in there.
Obviously I have a little issue with produce. I’m working on it . . .
This week I decided to dump out my purse and get down to the basics. You would not believe all of the things I found in my purse. On top of the apple, I found toys, an abundance of tissues, old receipts, a DVD, cash, and several tubes of lipstick that I didn’t even know I owned!
It amazed me that it only took me 5 minutes to clean out my purse, and it has honestly made my whole week smoother. Now I can find what I need and that is a wonderful feeling.
How to Organize Your Purse in 5 Minutes
I’m trying to narrow my purse down to the very basics. Inside, you will now find:
- Wallet
- Keys
- Planner
- Feminine needs
- 1 tube of lipstick
- 1 small pack of tissue
Am I missing any essentials? What do you carry in your purse?
Link up and show us what you’ve been tackling this week! Don’t be shy — it can be any project, large or small!

Melanie, I don’t know how you did it but you succeeded in telling my story. You must have been in my purse! I actually found a green apple in one of my handbags last week. Too Funny!

fun post! laughing…right now anything we leave in the van freezes, so we won’t start smelling it for a while. happy day to you.
I found a great way to organize my purse is to empty it all out into a large plastic bag. Then, I only put back what I need into the purse. The rest gets stored away and put back into its place, or thrown away.

To add to your list, I always have a pen, business cards, points cards, tic tacs, and my cell phone in my everyday purse as well. When i go to meet a new client for my organizing services that is a whole different ball game. I have a tote from Thirty One Gifts for that.
I have way more than that in my purse: hairbrush, hairclips/ponytail holders (for me and for my girls), pens (have to have extras for the kids), notepad…
We went to a restaurant once, and my mom ordered a banana split. The server came back and said they couldn’t serve a banana split because they’d run out of bananas. So my mother produced a banana from her purse and asked if they could just use hers! lol
