Ladies (and gentlemen – no judgement!) We all know we shove everything we might possibly need into our purse, turning it into a never ending pit of disorganization. Let’s chat about a few things we can do to declutter and keep it organized for the future!

Dump It All Out

Toss the Trash

Now let’s figure out what we can throw away! Old receipts? See ya! Gum wrappers? Why did we even keep those? Lastly, let’s find anything that’s torn, leaking or just useless. 

Sort the Keepers

Third step – let’s group and sort the keepers. Here we can sort into three categories – essentials, beauty and other.

• Essentials – wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses (don’t forget your readers!)
• Beauty – Chapstick, lotion, hand sanitizer
• Other – notebook, pen, earbuds, medications, breath mints

Now this is the perfect time to ask yourself “Do I really need three pens and two bottles of lotion?”

Wipe, Wipe, Wipe It Down

After sorting through the necessities, think about wiping your bag out. Take a damp cloth or disinfectant wipe and give your purse interior a quick refresh. You’ll be surprised how much nicer it feels afterward.
