purse pack-a-punch!


The Viv Element

Recommended Posts

I got a new purse like 2 mouths ago right before the shutdowns happened so i never really had a reason to pack my purse but now i do since the city is easing up on some restrictions, I can't think of what to put in it, right now i only have mini sunblock, deodorant & my batteries for my cochlear implant. But i wanted to know if there was any basic needs a purse should have? such as protection, or anything that might help me one day. I'm thinking of buying a small canister of mace if they're legal in my city, but that's why i'm here; I wanted to know what everyone packs in their purse!

Love this idea of changing what these items really are. I've been mugged two times and learned after the first one to always have visible cash to hand over, so I don't loose my credit cards, and Identification. The first time was at a truck stop, the second time was at a 7eleven fuel pump. My 360° awareness has greatly improved.

 

Best wishes, stay positive and safe.

I think I can kill people with the amount of stuff I carry in my purse, probably the only thing me and my mom have in common. Only short is I don't wear make-up, stuff is terrible for your skin.

I love the responses, I have a HUGE thing where i always need to be prepared otherwise i'll feel empty lol. I could be naked with a fully packed purse & still be comfortable (not that i'm a nudist or anything lol ?).

Thank you all for the help!! my mind was drawing blanks anytime i tried to think. I'm definitely going to add some of my personality to this purse too, like some tags, buttons and whatever else. all of you will be on my mind whenever i decorate now hehe. 

I wish you all a good day/night ❤️ i'm always a message away if anyone needs to talk xo.

Sorry .. late to the party.  I've never been "Out" in public yet, but weird thing is one of my biggest worries is "transitioning" from pockets to a purse.  Lots of great ideas everybody!

I am not currently using a purse, hopefully someday! But one thing I will have in it is dental floss. I hate it when I eat a big salad and later I look in the mirror only to see little pieces of spinach in between my teeth!

Oh_Kay,

I'm a fan of the plastic toothpicks with floss at the end. Easy to store, and use with one hand, then discard in an appropriate container.

 

One arm >HUGS< accepted here.

This is obviously a translation thing, for me the purse is where you keep your store loyalty cards, cash and coins. Handbag/clutch is the bag you keep that in. I was starting to wonder about the size of purses people carried about!  I haven't been out more than a couple of times, but I took: wipes/tissues, lip gloss, eyelash glue, phone, coin purse, small perfume bottle, tights (though I ended up wearing jeans I had intended to wear a skirt and a spare pair in case of laddering made sense) and keys and I always have a keyring photo of my kids that goes everywhere with me. ?

Mine's actually more of a messenger bag. I could be carrying so much more and it has pockets for everything!

 

Sadly I may have the last one in the universe. It's hard for a geek girl to find styles that suit her.

 

My AWESOME Messenger Bag-style purse

I wish you didn't feel the need to carry 17 rounds of any heat. ? But then again I carry rocks in my bag, sometimes really big rocks.

Yes, different cultures, divided by a common language!  As an immigrant myself, I remember having to learn American vocabulary.  (Canadian vocabulary tends to be American, but our spelling tends to be British.)  You are right, we are talking about handbags. :)

Its more of a right to do so then a need.

Without saying to much I don't need a gun to protect myself with the training I've had in the military   I just prefer to.

Just having the laser grip dot illuminated on someone is a huge deterrent trust me.

I would expect it to be, since we are all only moral for the time being. As you can tell I don't like firearms, it's bad enough average folk have fists and have little knowledge of their power. May it never leave your side, or forever be sealed away till at the range where you can keep up practice.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
