Top 10 Things to ALWAYS Have in Your Purse

By now, you're probably pretty set in the list of exactly what you always have in your purse. But every now and then you realize that there's something you wish you had, but don't. The smartest women are always finding new useful things to carry in their purse to maximize the usefulness of such a magnificent and stylish container. A few things that may seem obvious that you should have with you aren't on this list, as most everyone already carries the purse staples. Here are a few things that may not seem so obvious, but are just, if not more, useful.

10. Eyebrow Stencil

If you already have this, props to you! However, some have yet to discover the wonders of this revolutionary little piece of plastic. It's great for doing those perfect, razor sharp lines, especially if you're in a hurry. A great companion for this purse item would be the spray on eyebrows for perfect brows in seconds!

9. Aloe Vera

Some people do carry a bottle of aloe vera, or something with similar uses. But nothing quite compares to the fresh, medicinal qualities of an organic hunk of plant. You'll find that if you keep the end moist and give it plenty of sun, you'll get a breath of fresh air every time you open your purse with this out-of-the-box purse item. Application is easy, too! Instead of having to squeeze it out of the bottle, then having to clean off the body part you used to smear with, you can simply smear the cut end on the desired area. No mess! Having a plant with you at all times can be very fulfilling spiritually as well. After all, you are caring for a living thing. The satisfaction of succeeding with such responsibility is incomparably rewarding.

8. Tabasco Sauce

This item is only for the braver souls, if you intend to use this on food. Which you should, since it's amazing, but if you don't think so, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have it in your purse. For the Libras and like-minded, it may be because you want your friends to have the option to flavor their food with your genius purse item. But for you Taurus and such, this is great for self defense! You'll actually find that, when used properly, almost anything can be used as a weapon, but this sauce has properties that would deter any perp. The obvious first choice of attack is the eyes. And you go for it! But a man's nipples have zero tolerance for spice. This should never be used as a first attack, but when he's distracted by the sauce in his eyes or a kick to the groin, put some sauce on those puppies. You can also break the bottle, and then you have a spicy shank.

7. Lead Pipe

A lead pipe is actually a lot more practical that you would think at first. You just gotta be creative! First of all, lead is heavy, so carrying a lead pipe with you at all times is a great way to get some extra exercise in your busy, busy day. A second use is for when you're at the pool or the beach and you want to go under water for a while, but you want to stay longer than your breath allows. A lead pipe will solve that problem in a jiffy. And it'll help if you get an elbow with it. Lastly, if you're ever playing monopoly and the lead pipe is missing, you've got it covered. Clever girl!

6. McNuggets

McNuggets never go bad, but they are better fresh. You'll find that a quick refill to start your day will be totally worth it. You can eat them yourself, especially now that you're exercising more, but you can also feed birds, kids, even cute guys. No one can resist the offer of a free McNugget.

5. Another Purse

A tiny purse in your purse is always a good idea, especially in the city. It's economical, and cute! There are different tiny purses for different people ranging from coin to all out practical. You might keep a chapstick in there or even a crayon. Obviously the one in the picture is quite small, but you can get bigger tiny purses that hold much more, as long as they fit in your regular purse. Go too big and you'll just have a regular purse, and your regular purse will be your tiny purse.

4. Red Sharpie

Red is daring, assertive, and empowering. Without a doubt, the strongest color. Using a red Sharpie for black Sharpie tasks is life changing. Try writing a note to yourself in black Sharpie. Now in red. See the difference? No, not just the color, but the meaning changes. You can write on anything with a red Sharpie. Give your friend a sick temporary tattoo of Clifford. Write words of encouragement on the bathroom wall. Put an ex on a pushy guy's forehead. Red stands out, just like you!

3. Feather

A feather adds very little weight to your purse, since it's used to lift birds up, NOT down. A feather can be used to snazz up a hat or a dress. It can be used as the classiest pen you'll ever see, if you just buy an ink well. It can also be used as an in for a baby. See a cute little guy? Bam, pull out that feather and start tickling away. Now you're the reason that baby is smiling and laughing. Any feather will work, you don't even have to buy them.

2. Glue

Many life hacks involve glue, so why not have the life hack of all life hacks and carry a bottle of glue with you. Glue decorations around the office. Glue glitter on birthday cards. Glue people's mouths shut. Even just put glue on your hands and peel it off for hours of entertainment!

1. A Kitten!

A kitten is the ultimate purse item you need with you at all times. Kittens love purses, and you love kittens. It's almost too good to be true! Kittens are easily entertained, and watching kittens entertain themselves is entertaining in itself. Every item if your purse is a toy, except the little guy, he's family! And that cute guy you wish would talk to you, show him your kitty. He wont be able to stop himself from petting it because kittens are so freaking soft. Now you're talking.

Hope you enjoyed my list of things you should have in your purse! Obviously you don't need to add these to your collection, but just keep them in mind for those times you realize you don't have something you wish you had.
