This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wrigley Jr. Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love having my purse with me, everywhere I go. I have several different bags that I switch between, but they are all mostly stocked with the basics so that I don’t have to spend a lot of time switching everything over when I want to change bags. I am going to share a list of 20 essentials that should be in every bag. These will vary depending on what you like and need, but I have found that these 20 items come in handy almost every time I go out I am needing 1 or more from the list below.

  1. Gum
  2. Hand Sanitizer
  3. Small sewing kit &  Safety Pins
  4. Feminine care products
  5. Cash
  6. Lotion
  7. Chapstick/Lip Gloss
  8. Small Mirror
  9. Floss
  10. Hair Ties / Small brush
  11. Meds
  12. Small notebook and Pen
  13. Matches
  14. Band-aids
  15. Tissues
  16. Snack
  17. Deodorant
  18. Headphones
  19. Makeup
  20. Small bottle of water

I am always chewing gum, so I like to make sure and keep a couple of packs in my purse. I just found a new flavor at Target – the Juicy Fruit® Starburst® in strawberry and cherry. I am so excited. It smells just like Starburst® candy. Another things I love about it – is that it is sugar free. It is a “sweet piece of fun”. I also love that there is a great coupon that will save you money when you buy them. Save Now at Target!

Make sure you pack extra meds – especially if you take them every day. That way if you end up having to stay someplace overnight or longer than expected you won’t miss a dose. I also like to keep Ibuprofen in my bag for headaches and other pains. For a snack I like to keep a Protein Bar or baggie of trail mix to eat if I get stuck someplace longer than expected. This will also save you money because you won’t have to buy any food. I like to keep travel size items for the deodorant, makeup, lotion, etc.

I would love to know what you keep in your purse and Which flavor of the Juicy Fruit® Starburst® gum, Strawberry or Cherry, are you most excited to try ?
