10 things I can't leave home without.

So I'm a bit of a hoarder so I have more than 10 things that are always in my purse at any given time but they're not as essential as these...

• My wallet (obviously): I actually always try to make sure I have at least $1.25 in there...just enough for a bus fare...just in case!!!
• My glasses
• Watch and bracelet: The bracelet changes...the pearls are my new fave ;-) (they'll be for a while)
• Pens: A couple...in case someone borrows one and never gives it back >(
• Lotion and Lip balm
• My ID badge: This is so I never forget it for work but also just in case of anything...I got a discount at a Subway restaurant because I flashed it!!!
• Hand Sanitizer...no brainer!!
• My cellphone...just in case I find myself in Timbuktu or somewhere.
• A bottle of pain meds...usually Ibuprofen.
• A compact with a mirror...I only use the mirror...don't use the foundation/powder part.
  
• My earphones...may need to block out unwanted sounds...
  
• A random piece of paper...may never know when I need to take notes ('student' blood still flows in me)

I have 12 things...and sure I've run out of lotion and gone lotionless for a while once or twice and I've forgotten to wear my watch but I (and my handbag) basically feel empty without these things!!!!
