Women are known to lug around heavy purses with unnecessary items inside. How many of these useful items do you keep in your own bag? We need to be prepared with a list of things to have with us whenever we leave the house again.
<h2>1. Money </h2><p>You never know when you will need some cash. Plus, it is always good to carry extra change for paying at parking meters.</p><h2>2. Lip balm </h2><p>We all need a lip balm in our purses that we will eventually lose and not finish. Has anyone ever finished a complete stick of ChapStick? Either way, you never know when you will need to use lip balm. </p><h2>3. Tide sticks</h2><p>Have you ever spilled something on your new blouse? Have you ever notice a spot on your clothes before an important presentation or interview? Carrying a Tide Stick can be handy during these situations. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2649861359-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

Extra hair things</h2><p>Like most girls I know, I tend to change my hairstyle at least three times a day.
