lace and frills and all that girly sh*t

just a few things i think EVERY girls purse should hold:

 if your like me

i have a 2 year old daughter so when we go out i can just pop this sucker on her and hope she doesnt make a huge mess...but she still makes a huge mess anyways usually but at least her chest is clean. har har.

so many great uses for baby wipes!!!

1. wiping snot off kids and hubby

2. cleaning butts and privates for babies and adults!

3. bird bath for babies and/ or adults (ghetto but if your out it works)

4. cleaning things like makeup and oil off your phone 

5. clean hands

 you should ALWAYS have your wallet, ID, and preferably cash and credit cards. JIC.

 a camera for those kodak moments, well in my case for those panasonic moments.

also a case for the cammy

 

triangle shaped crayon!! BEST INVENTION EVER!!!! the triangle shape keeps 

the crayon from rolling off the table!!! i only carry 3 with me in a small plastic

baggy. When we go out to eat they usually have paper placemats, so i just whip out those

magical crayons and then listen! its QUIET time, at least until the food comes out.

i always wear eyelashes so this comes in handy when im out. Lets say your like me 

and you go out with your hubbs and watch breaking dawn part one and your 

crying throughout the WHOLE movie and one of your eyelashes comes off, after the 

movie you can just run to the bathroom and pop the sucker back on.

Floss. Everyone needs floss. Even my dad carries floss and he doesnt

even have a purse. You should always floss after every meal, even though i dont 

always floss after every meal...but it comes in handy!! theres also

many great uses for floss too if you think about it...

1. floss your teeth

2. tie stuff together

3. if you have the mint flavor one, just suck on it and 

refresh your mouth.

pocketpack tissues. I dont even need to say why. It speaks for itself.

Vaseline. 

So many amazing uses 

1. chapstick

2. boo boos :(

3. lotion 

4. frizzy fly aways

5. diaper rash

 all the possibilities!!!

 

My favorite lip balm. EOS lip balm.

!It keeps my lips moisturized,

Its not oily! It doesnt somehow magically travel all over my face!

 It smells AMAZING!

 it feels AMAZIIINGGG!!!!!

i currently dont have any. but you can find these mini tabasco bottles in 

vegas if you order room service. i absolutely LOVEEE these. These come in handy, 

My husband likes to eat very spicy, and they spice up any dish, ANYWHERE!

Always have your phone. This is an iphone 5 my dream phone.

lollipops. 

Sometimes you just need a lil sugar boost to keep you up.

and also for those times when your daughter is just SUPER fussy FOR NO

REASON AT ALL!!!! this will just mute her up instantaneosly and calm her nerves.

i personally love the airhead pops because theyre SOO yummy and they 

have a plastic based stick which compared to the dum dum pops that have a 

paper based stick, the platic based sticks dont melt when your sucking away on the 

magical sticks. So in result, less choking hazard

all the lil details...

i found this not too long ago and have been waiting for an oppurtunity to make them, unfortunately i havent had time recently. but here it is anyways. reblogged: hello kitty macaroons:
