My name is Buckley, and I have a blog called Little Orso. My blog focuses on finding amazing products for children, especially little boys (the industry seems to be so much more girl driven, so it is really hard to find great items for little boys). Luckily for my readers I live on the internet and am obsessed with online shopping.
The best part of taking part in this blog swap is getting
to discover great new blogs. I not only have
a blog, but I am a huge blog fan and spend at least an hour a day reading blogs. Blogs are great…they give you a glimpse into
someone else’s mind!! Some days you will
relate to what is posted, and other days you will learn something new and
exciting!!
Getting to know The Journey has been a great
experience. Michelle and I have a lot of
similarities, and I have had a great time reading her listsJ This is why I thought it would be fun to do a
post that blends both of our worlds…lists and shopping!!
I am one of those people that can not leave the house
without my purse. I also have a hard
time narrowing down what should be in my purse.
There are many days that I end up with a second tote bag with my
“overflow”. J Recently I decided enough was enough, and
decided to really evaluate what I really need to bring with me.
So here is my Top 10 List of Purse Necessities!!!
1. Lipgloss- I can not live without lipgloss. I would love to bring an entire display of
colors with me so I could change the shade according to the time of day, my
outfit, my mood etc… This is why I really love the Mark Cosmetics Glo Baby Glo
Lipglosses. You can connect any two
colors together, with the use of the connector. (Mark gives you a connector for
free with any two Hook Up purchases.
Hook ups are any Mark products that can be connected together). I usually connect two lip glosses, a light
one for daytime and a darker shade for evening.
2. Kleenex Splash and Go Moist Wipes- I use these all day
long. I am a bit of a germaphobe, and I
tend to eat on the run. I use these when
I can’t wash my hands, or when something spills in the car. I also used to use these to take off eye make
up, after a late night out. Now that I am older and married with kids there are
not as many late night outings, at least with heavy eye makeup!! I find myself
using them more now to clean grimy baby hands, wipe noses, clean baby toys that
fall out of the car, and changing diapers on the go. These are also great for cleaning the bottom
of your purse, and cellphone!! Dr. Oz has scared me into doing this every few
days!!!
3.Kindle Fire- I have written multiple blog posts on my love
for the Kindle Fire. My family literally
fights over it. I listen to books on
tape on it, read magazines, check email, play games, make to do lists, and
download tv shows for my son. I never
leave home without it. When we have an
in car melt down, I just turn on Yo Gabba Gabba and he immediately calms
down. They sell great mounting
accessories (they are really inexpensive), so that you can hang the Kindle in
your car like a tv screen.
4. Travel First Aid Kit- I love this little box. It has everything I need in it for an
emergency (Advil, Bandaids, alcohol wipes…), and all stashed in this adorable
little box. I actually bought this at a
hotel that I stayed at.
5. Burt’s Bees Hand
Sanitizer- This stuff smells so good, and kills germs. It is alcohol free, so it actually
moisturizes your hands instead of drying them out like the others. I read an article that this was the only safe
sanitizer to use so I went out and bought it, and I am so in love. Staying germ free has never been so
refreshingJ
(Yes, I have two items to keep our hands clean, I told you I
was a germaphobe ;) )
6. Travel Flats- I
bought the cutest flats at Target that roll up into a tiny bag. They are great for when I wear wedges or
heels and need to change into something more comfortable. Not to mention they are really cute!!!
7. Colgate Wisps-
These little travel toothbrushes are amazing!!
You never want to have something in your teeth, or bad breath. You don’t need water or anything, besides the
brush. They even come with whitening
treatments in them now!!
8. An Extra Pair of
Sunglasses- I live in my sunglasses!! I
have really sensitive eyes, so I can’t even go out to get the mail without them
on. This is why I can not leave home
without a back up pair!!! A pair of
sunglasses can change your whole look, so I have a few different styles. For the last two years I have been obsessed with
my oversized Marc Jacobs Sunglasses. I
am barely getting any sleep, so anything that covers a lot of my face is very
appreciated!!;)
9. 100 Calorie Packs- I am always hungry!! Especially in the car for some reasonJ When I was pregnant I started making sure
that I always had food in my purse…this habit has stuck around past the
pregnancy. I really love the 100 calorie
packs from Ritz Crackers. It is a mix of
Chex, Cheezits, mini Ritz Crackers, and Pretzels…Yummm!!!
10. A Cute Scarf- Ok this is probably my most used item!! For me it never fails that I will spill something on me. I can throw a scarf on, and immediately hide anything that spills on my shirt. In California we layer clothes because it can be 90 at noon, and then foggy and cold by dinner. For some reason wearing a scarf keeps you so warm…you can also throw a larger one around your shoulders, and use it like a shawl. And my all time favorite use for my scarf, getting in a quick nap in the car. Bunch it up and you have a great pillow!!! ****This item can also be taken off of the what’s in my list, and be put on the what’s on my purse listJ Nothing looks cuter than a bright scarf tied around the handles!!!
I hope you all are as nosy as I am, and enjoy these what is
in your purse features. I always think
the celebrity ones are so boring…now looking at my list I see that I am pretty
boring too;) I probably should have lied
and said that I bring a circular saw, fire extinguisher, giant extra flow
tampons…
