I can't claim to be an expert on purses. I really don't like to carry one. It's just a necessity to me. Still, I have read a book on the subject and gotten a few tips from a professional organizer who works with me in Clever Container, Melissa Schmalenberger. She is an amazing lady and a wonderful upline.
Anyway, here is my take on purses.
My purse weight varies. It really depends on what I'm doing that day. It mostly depends on all the stuff that my kids need...okay, maybe the business too. Mostly I just want to be prepared. It's the reason why most women carry all their stuff in their purses, right? Did you know that the American Chairpractic Association says that your purse should weigh less than 3 pounds? How many of us can claim that every day. Most of us have backs that are in serious trouble. According to Kelley Styring's book, In Your Purse (the Amazon link is above), most women's purses weigh between 5-10 lbs. Scary.
My purse, like most women's is a mobile junk drawer. The difference between the one on my arm and the one in my house is that my purse gets cleaned out once in a while...mostly because I can't find anything...but I usually am switching purses when I do it. Imagine being able to go to the store and buying another junk drawer...you'd never find anything.
So what can we do to fix these problems? My new favorite thing for my purse is the Grip It On-the-Go from Clever Container.
Seriously, I have saved a ton of time searching for stuff that falls to the bottom of my purse because of that thing. It makes reaching into my purse less of a nightmare. Everything just slips right in, but unless you are taking it out, it doesn't fall out. It grips on to your stuff so even if you are flinging it (say, you dropped it on the floor or your kid digs into your purse for something and moves it out of the way...yeah, that's happened to me) stuff doesn't come out. Nothing comes out unless you take it out. It's really cool.
There are a bunch of other CC products that I could talk about, but I'm trying to restrain myself.
So, when is the last time you cleaned out your purse? I just cleaned mine out today, but that is because I'm having a Clever Container Purse Party tonight...that's why my mind is on this subject. I wonder what my mind will be on tomorrow....
