While Alan is writing about all the things in our purses (most of which we don't need), I'm here to the rescue with the MUST HAVES for every woman's purse!

You'll never catch me without my purse. I'm notorious for carrying giant, beach bag like purses filled with entirely too much stuff. I've even downsized several times just trying to avoid having a 20 pound bag, but then I end up leaving it unzipped so everything fits.

I always have chapstick, gum, and lotion (win). Some things I need to start carrying - mini hair straightener, hair spray, deodorant, and the notorious Poo-Pourri (oh yes, because you just NEVER know).

Here's a list from the Huffington Post of the things EVERY WOMAN should have in their purse. There are several compact things on the list, some of which you'd never think to grab on your way out the door, included an instant stress reliever. You can see the list here.
