Many a woman has experienced the inconvenience and hassle of digging through her handbag to find something she needs or wants. Where is that brand-new lipstick I placed in here a while ago? I’m sure I placed my car keys somewhere here. Why can’t I find my business cards? Well, you might find yourself asking these questions if your handbag is filled with clutter.
Everything becomes so much easier if you organise everything in your handbag. Just think: in an uncluttered home, you can quickly find something you need without extra things or rubbish lying around the house. The same analogy applies to handbags.

Benefits of a Clean and Organised Bag
Why should you keep your bag clean, neat, and organised? Well, just check out these advantages:
* You save money. Since you have the right “tools” inside your bag, you don’t have to pick up other last-minute items, which, as we all know, is a ripe situation for overspending. For instance, you don’t have to buy perfume when you have a small bottle of it in your bag.
* Stress is lessened. Have you noticed how stressful and frustrating it is to find your keys, spare change, or other small items in your cluttered handbag? Organising your handbag’s content will help you keep track of everything in it. In other words, you will know exactly where an item that you need is located.
* An organised handbag is friendly on your back and shoulders. Carrying a handbag all day can cause sore shoulders, backs, and hands. But if you organise your bag, you can easily determine which items should be left at home. Needless to say, this makes your bag lighter, which becomes easier to carry.
Making Your Bag Less Topsy-Turvy
The prospect of convenience and hassle-free searching is getting into you now, isn’t it? Cool! Don’t know where to start? Check out these easy pointers
1. Empty the contents of your handbag on a table or bed.
2. Organise your things into three piles. Designate one pile for necessities, a second pile for extras, and a third for rarely used items.
3. Remember the mountaineers packing mantra: the most useful things go to the top of the bag. The non-essential items should be placed at the bottom of the bag.
4. Place your “sensitive” items inside your bag’s inner pocket. Wallets, cards, IDs, house and car keys, reading glasses, and valuables are examples of these items.
5. Use the outer pockets of your handbags to store coins, candies, business cards, and other small items that you’re going to take out frequently.
6. Place your cosmetics in a small pouch before putting them in your handbag. Use the same tip for your medications and hygiene products. This will make it easy for you to pull out what you need without sifting through your contents. For instance, if you need to reapply your lipstick, you just need to pull out the cosmetics pouch. If you need to rub on some hand sanitizer, then you can just pull out your hygiene kit.
7. A small first-aid kit and a nail kit can be placed at the bottom. You won’t get injured all the time, and you won’t take a lot of time filing your nails anyway.
8. If your bag has extra room, tuck in some comfort or entertainment items such as a notebook, a book, or a small craft kit.
Have a great day, without a cluttered bag, that is.
