During the university phase I use to carry my charger, a lip balm, a deodorant, my notes and my wallet in my bag. But the contents in my bag changed when I got graduated and later got married. My bag size changed and so did the things in it.
One thing that I have learned during all this is to distinguish between few essential things that we must carry along in our handbag and other certain things that are totally unnecessary and " just in case" items that we mostly never even use. Our handbag items should be compact, handy and convenient. I'm going to mention those few essential things that one must keep in the handbag.
A Small Makeup Bag
I always carry a small make-up pouch in my bag which consists of a nude colored lipstick which I usually wear, a powder foundation, a mascara and a blush on for touch ups through out the day.
Hair ties and Bobby pins
No matter how much I stock them they eventually get lost somewhere. I always keep some extra hair ties and pins in my bag especially during the hot humid weather to avoid frizzy and unmanageable hair.
Tissues/ Wipes
It's very important to keep a pack of travel size tissues or wet wipes in your bag for the unexpected small messes or spills, especially when you're traveling with your kids.
Lip balm
Nobody likes chapped dry lips in any weather. Even the lipstick doesn't look good on dry chapped lips so it's important to keep a lip balm along in your bag to keep your lips moisturized always.

Moisturizer
Just like dry chapped lips, dry hands should also be avoided.
A Mint Chewing Gum or Mouth Freshener
To avoid bad breath especially after lunch with your friends or after some official meeting with colleagues we must have a mint chewing gum or some mouth freshener in our bag. Bad breath is a big turn off!! and we never know who we're going to run into when we're out so it's an essential item to carry in a handbag.
Hand Sanitizer
In the current pandemic it has become extremely important to keep a hand sanitizer to protect ourselves from germs and infections when we're out and are not able to wash our hands.

A Light Snack
Last but not the least, I always carry a small, light snack in my bag because when I'm out I often feel hungry. I usually keep a granula bar or something healthy to recharge myself when I'm out running errands and need some energy.
These are a few things that I felt are essential and must be carried along in our handbags, but you must add or subtract the contents according to your use or convenience. I hope you enjoyed reading my post. I'd love to hear in the comments what you people like to carry in your bags. 😊
