You dropped your car key while you were out grocery shopping and you didn’t realize it until you got to your car. You went back to the grocery to check with customer service if anyone else has seen your keys and unfortunately, they said no. You feel your heart beat faster. Your car spare key is kept hidden in a drawer in your bedroom. Everyone is at work and there is nobody that you could call to pick you up.
1. Spare Car Keys
Your car is your personal shuttle that takes you places so you get to accomplish tasks, create new experiences, and see new things. If you don’t have the key to it, what good can it do for you? Also, there won’t always be someone to call for help if we lose our key. Everyone is busy. Make sure you have a spare key in your purse all the time.
2. A Pen
Have you ever been at the airport to fly to another country, and was only an hour away from the flight when you have checked in? Then you find out that you have to fall in line and fill out some immigration paperwork before you are let out to the gates? Only to realize that you did not have a pen to fill out the form and everyone else was too busy filling out theirs. Yes, it has happened to me. And it was no fun. So, bring your own writing tool all the time.
3. Dental Floss
Please don’t say gross. It is for hygiene. And what would you do if you were out on a date and noticed a piece of arugula stuck in between your teeth? It’s such a small a tool, it will not take up much space in your purse. So, have it in your purse.
4. A Small Pack Of Tissue
Spills always happen. No matter how careful you are. Also, what about that sudden runny nose that you can’t ever figure out where it came from? Or walking along the street and a car splashes mud on your feet? Oh, and let’s not forget those unforeseen sentimental moments when you have to look up at the ceiling to prevent tears from falling. Have the tissues ready.
5. Sunglasses
Have you ever experienced driving and you just can’t look past 10 feet ahead because the glaring sun is turning everything into blackness? For driving safety, always have a pair of sunglasses in your purse. Better to have it in there than to regret it later. What about when you suddenly feel the need for privacy and just have that feeling that you don’t want anyone to see you, or recognize you? Have those sunglasses ready.
6. A Few Coins
Have you ever headed into the grocery and realized that you would need to get a shopping cart instead of a basket? And then realize that you do not even have a single coin to use for it? So, have that coin ready in your purse. And what about after waiting in line at the checkout, you find out that your purchases were on sale and you really actually only have to pay $2.25 instead of $12.00. But the cashier doesn’t have change for your $20 bill. And too bad you didn’t have those coins in your purse. Also, you may find yourself buying scratch-off lottery tickets, but your nails are just too short to do the job. Again, keep the coins ready for such occasions. It takes only a few small things to make your purse trouble-ready. There will be situations when you will not have anyone to call on, but yourself. The best you can do is to have those little things in your purse ready to help save your day. Featured photo credit: www.pariseventbd.com via pariseventbd.com
