Purse Organization Upgrade

It’s time to clean out your purse! Seriously. Do you even know what color that lipstick is lurking at the bottom? When was the last time you were able to find a pen right away? Take 30 minutes of your day and turn that baby upside down. Follow these steps for a proper purse clean out and then shop below for some new tools to keep you on track.

 

  1. Flip your bag upside down on a clean surface. Shake it all out!
  2. Spot the trash and get rid of it. Sometimes that trash might actually be something you have been holding on to for too long. Ahem, Smoothie Card you never use.
  3. Separate items into categories: writing and work utensils (paper clips, binder clips, post-it notes), makeup and beauty, and tech accessories. Place them into new bags (see tips below!)
  4. Give your wallet a review. Does it have everything you need for payment and important? Are you stacking too many cards in different slots? Do you know where to find your social security card? If it’s too hard to find everything, invest in a new wallet. 
  5. Invest in new items that will make your purse more organized, your life more
    beautiful, and your mind more at piece…
