Men chuckle with women, writing jokes, how we can enclose a whole universe in a miniature women bag or clutch bag. Here is such a price for the opportunity to be fully armed in any life situation.
In fact, women who overload bags do not think about three important points. Firstly, heavy luggage stretches the walls and straps of the bag, violates its frame, which leads to rapid wear of the product and loss of presentation. Secondly, the uneven distribution of the burden on one shoulder leads to impaired posture, curvature of the spine, pinching and sagging area. And thirdly, in the chaos of a large bag it is very difficult to figure out and quickly find something you need. We can swarm for a long time, checking all the linings and the smallest pockets, while the need for help is relevant only in the first minutes.
Let's learn how to organize the space of your handbag and select only the most useful things for life. We give the TOP-10 of the necessary items that should always be with you.
10. Minimal makeup kit
You never know how your life can change in an instant, how fate will give you amazing chances to show yourself. Perhaps you will suddenly be overtaken by an invitation to an interview for a “burning” vacancy, so it will be necessary to quickly put yourself in order. Or you will see an interesting man in the company, so it will be possible to correct makeup that has “swam” for the day, to give the face a more well-groomed look. And sometimes you go outside in sunny weather and fall under the sudden pouring rain, which trickles down on your face with trickles of mascara and eyeliner. In this case, emergency mini-cosmetics will be very welcome. What should a minimal set contain so as not to take up much space in a cosmetic bag? First of all, it is a powder that eliminates oily sheen, a set of matting napkins, moisturizing hygienic and decorative lipstick, as well as mascara.
9. Comb and elastic for hair
Disheveled after a gusty wind or heavy rain, the hairstyle looks at least untidy, and at the very least funny and repulsive, especially if you have to be in public for a certain time. Carry a travel folding comb or a small flat comb in your purse that more than fits into your side pocket. Do not forget to put there a small crab or an elastic band for hair. You can find yourself in an open windy area, where a dry wind will mercilessly play with hair, throwing locks on the just applied lip gloss. Many women are familiar with this unpleasant situation, so for cases of windy weather they carry a comb and a hairpin.
8. Dry and wet wipes
It doesn’t matter at all whether shawarma sauce or a drop of morning coffee will sprinkle on your skirt - you need to keep your clothes neat. Wet wipes will allow you to quickly deal with dirty and greasy stains, "unexpected" from flying birds, sticky or dirty hands after public transport. But there are several points when wet impregnation of wipes will give an undesirable effect. For example, if you need to eliminate the defects of decorative cosmetics from your face or remove greasy shine, as well as blow your nose. For these cases, have a different set of wipes, only dry.
7. A small mirror
This item is relevant for a girl in any season and weather, since we apply decorative makeup, which can spread, leak, “move out”, etc. And if a man rinses his face quickly enough in the nearest toilet, then it’s not easy for a woman to refresh makeup - you need to remove the mirror and puff in front of it for a while, creating beauty. Of course, now the screens of modern phones help girls out, since in principle you can see their reflection in them thanks to photosensitivity or the front camera. This is enough to straighten the hair, but to eliminate the small blemishes of the smeared arrows is easier in front of the decorative mirror.
6. Documents
Is it worth reminding that each person should have an identity document with him? And it is not at all necessary to carry biometric passports with printouts, thick books of birth certificates or a laminated TIN, which may not fit into a handbag. Have at least small documents certifying your identity - a student ID card, car passport, work permit, etc. The main thing that they should contain: full name, age and, of course, photo. If you are afraid of losing the main document, carry a printout certified by a notary, which can be folded several times and hidden in a side pocket. Nevertheless, this is better than nothing, and will help you out in an ambiguous situation.
5. Pen and notebook
For a mini notebook with an attached pen, there is always a place even in a small clutch. You may have to leave the coordinates to the person whose car you accidentally “butted” in a traffic jam, or share the number with an interesting man. Or maybe you will come up with a big and interesting idea, productive thoughts that you want to quickly fix and not lose. Notepad allows you to make plans for the day, wish lists, as well as a shopping list.
4. Moisturizer
A small sampler of cream is a lifesaver for sensitive, dry and elastic skin. The moisturizing texture is relevant both in the summer heat, when moisture evaporates too quickly from the surface of the skin, and in the winter cold, when the epidermis dries, peels and gets irritated by dry winds and frosts. You can refresh your cheeks and eyelids in a matter of minutes, since such creams are very quickly absorbed, leaving no greasy residue.
3. Nail file
Hands, as a working tool of a person, always remain in sight, so the peeling nail polish, a broken nail or burrs rush into the eyes. In this case, you can wear a miniature manicure set consisting of a nail file and a colorless varnish that can “reanimate” a crack or hide another defect. The uneven edges of the nails are not only unaesthetic, but also physically uncomfortable, as they cling to clothes and tights, and scratch the skin.
2. Anesthetic
The human body is a real complex mechanism that can fail at the most inopportune time. There are pains that occur suddenly and have sufficient strength to distract us from our usual activities. These include dental, head, menstrual and gastric (intestinal). In case of cramping (and the above pains are of this nature) carry a couple of antispasmodic tablets in your bag. In fact, several capsules fit securely in the smallest compartment of the wallet, but the benefits are undeniable.
1. Miniature perfumes
Modern industry offers the smallest samplers of your favorite perfumes, which not only fit in a bag, but even in a tiny wallet or key holder. A pleasant, light scent will always come in handy before an interview, business meeting, or date. It needs to be updated several times a day, since eau de toilette tends to weather in 2-8 hours.
The above items fit in a small female clutch, and even more so in a regular bag. Check everything on the list and be always fully armed.
