So what's in your purse? Though my friends often refer to my bag as The Mary Poppins Bag, I'm not really toting anything crazy today - gum (Orbit whitening rules!), phone, keys, 8 lip glosses, weekend cash, and my ID. Surely you gals have more interesting stuff in your bags!

How funny! I have a $5 canadian bill in my wallet from a trip there two years ago, and I don't know what to do with it - I feel like it's wrong to throw it away. So it just sits there. Waiting.

aaaaand, sometimes if i don't have time in the morning to do my makeup at home, i manage to fit in my small makeup bag with all of my daily essentials (mascara, concealer, eyeliner, bronzer, brushes)
holy cow! and i wonder why it takes me forever to find things in my bag... it's actually sickening how much crap i carry around! i wonder what would happen if i forced myself to use a smaller bag...

I read somewhere not too long ago that the average woman's purse in NY is worth $1,000 (includes cash, what's inside it, and the bag itself). I thought that was outrageous at first, but I think it might not be too far off.
