Depending on the size of your handbag is what amount of useful items you can put in it, but as nowadays the fashion is for large bags, one can put quite a lot in it and this is very useful for working women who leave their houses in the morning and don’t get back to their homes until the evening.
During the course of a day you are going to want to tidy yourself up at least once which means brushing your hair, applying some more cologne and retouching your make up, so for a start your bag has to have a small brush, a small plastic spray bottle with your cologne and a cosmetic bag with the basics of your make up which are lipstick or lip salve, eye liner pencil, eye drops (for tired eyes during the course of a working day), emery board (for in case you break or tear a nail and it needs filing down), an aspirin for any headache or pain that you may suffer and a few cotton tipped ear buds to get rid of any smudges.
You will also need to include a pack of tissues, a tampon just in case you are not very regular and some sunglasses in case the sun decides to come out.
So that has sorted out more or less your personal kit. Then we move on to the other basics which are your keys, mobile phone (very important), purse with money and credit cards, driving licence, agenda and pen, or better biro as pens tend to leak in hand bags, and if you use them, your reading glasses.
With all this in your bag you should feel that you have everything that you need to get through the course of a day.
