Clutter Proof Your Handbag

Here are 5 easy steps to clutter proofing your handbag so you will always be able to locate your keys, phone & favorite lipstick easily.

1.Use any available pockets your purse offers for your most crucial items like your phone or keys.  Start with the exterior pockets as long as they have a zipper closure which you then must zip.

2.Use outside snap closure pockets for receipts. This makes receipts easy to retrieve at home.

3.Use an inside pocket for medications. This keeps them hidden but still easily accessible to you when you need them.

4.Use small, cosmetic bags to create pockets. When you are short on pockets, create your own with cute cosmetic bags.  Use different colors for different items so you can easily find what you need.

5.Clean out your handbag each day/week.  Depending on how many receipts/notes you add to your handbag each day will help you determine if you should clean it out daily or weekly.
