This is meant to be a quick but satisfying organising task.
I open my handbag and tip it all out on the bed.
- I then go through each of my “mini” bags – make-up bag, wallet and “odds and ends” bag.
- I replenish anything (e.g. Panado, tissues, hand cream, lip balm, etc.) and return items like my extra ponytail holder to their place (the “odds and ends” bag).
- I toss receipts (I toss the credit card slip unless I need to keep it for an expense claim, and keep the actual receipt of what I spent).
- I remove nail polish if I’ve changed colours. I return a lipstick to my bathroom if I only needed it with me for an evening update.
I do switch out my handbag often (weekly or even more frequently) so I’ll probably then repack the few things into a new colour bag for the week.
