So I decided the purse challenge would be a good way to shame me into cleaning out my purse. It worked sorta. Turns out there are a lot of things I “need” in there so I at least pulled out the extra papers. Sorry the picture is a little blurry I took it at work on my iphone.

(I didn’t number so I’ll just list)

My pretty Kate Spade purse which I abuse heavily as it wasn’t meant to hold this much stuff.

My iphone isn’t pictured because I was using it to take the picture but it was in there too.

Tiny blue brush with Disney princesses on it my friend got me a couple of Christmases ago

4 various lipglosses

1 Dr. Pepper Chapstick (usually I have 2 at least)

1 hairband which is funny since I hate ponytails

1 super cute bow clip I got on clearance cause the other one was missing

4 random colored/sized clips

6 random colored/sized bobby pins

1 pair of earrings I can only wear for about an hour at a time becasue my ears hate earrings but I break them out for special occasaions

1 beaded sparkly bracelet a co-worker made me

Sunglasses (should be in my car not taking up room in my purse I’ve since put them back)

1 new pair of reading glasses which make me feel about 90 becase I never needed glasses until this year (might be because I just turned 30 though). They are super cute though and my husband thinks I look a little librarianish so I suppose that’s a plus.

2 safety pins those are very handy you should keep them in your purse too

little pink mirror

little bottle of hand sanitizer I keep refilling from the huge bottle on my desk at work (yes I’m one of those freaks)

cleaning cloth for my iphone

2 sets of headphone/hands free wired thingies for phones. (one for my blackberry I don’t even own anymore and one for the iphone) both of which I wont’ use unless its an emergency because my ears are too sensitive for earbuds

1 Tide Pen this thing is a lifesaver!

2009 calendar I got from my staffing agency

checkbook I only use at the salon because they prefer not to take cards

cute pink wallet that is only big enough to hold a few cards and my money I got from Target. (It only has 2.00 in it right now actually thats more cash than I usually carry.)

another little wallet that holds all my business cards

1 purple bandaid

1 old probably no good moist towlette packet

car keys

work key

2 little plastic ring guards for when my rings are too big and bother me when I’m typing. I haven’t used these since I’ve been pregnant

1 baggie of Tums

1 baggie of prenatal vitamins and folic acid

Saline Sray and Flonase which are the only things semi keeping my allergies at bay since the Dr. said no more allegra  It’s worth it for the babies though.

1 cleaning info card that came with my purse

1 expired coupon for a local used book store (since tossed out)

4 random receipts (since tossed out)

1 raincheck from Safeway for BOGO prenatal vitamins

2 random dr business cards that I moved into the business card holder

1 Buy one get one half off for Fresh Express in January

2 Safeway coupons (tossed out because I never use them)

Receipt for my glasses we need to send to our flex spending plan

1 Safeway gas card thing that gets me discounts not sure

1 expired Office Max card (tossed out now)

1 recipe for homeade Granola from a co-worker

1 Giftcard envelope that was empty because I already used the gift card (tossed!)

Wow! That was a ton of stuff not sure if anyone read the whole list but it’s a little embarassing guess I’m halfway to being a mom already by carrying around my whole life in my purse. I did clean out the papers and re-organized though so my purse looks much nicer. Thanks for the idea!

I just wanted to do a quick post to wish you all a merry Christmas or if that’s not what you celebrate then just well wishes on whatever you do celebrate.

I put on a little party dress for well I suppose a Christmas party I would go to if I didnt’ plan on lounging around the house in my jammies all day hehe. THis is the Camila dress from AnnaH Couture, she is havign a huge 50% off sale righ tnow so I actually got this dress in 2 colors (this and also a light blue). I just adore the poofy skirt and especially the bows on the back. It needed just a little more texture for me though so I put on the undershirt from the Rouge noir outfit from Silent Sparrow. The set itself is huge with lots of re-useable pieces. To match the texutre on the undershirt I put on these tights from Sheer. This store has some really wonderful stockigns and nylons so if you haven’t been you should check it out.

My necklace is from the free Silver Bells set from Violet Voltaire it comes with adorable little bell earring as well. My earrings are freebies from Artilleri, if you are in the group just go with your group tag and grab the box in her shop. She is putting out a new one every day. Well today might be the last day I’m not sure but still they are really cute. I added some other cute accessories.

I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends!
