What Women Carry in Their Purse
Tracey Porter: Hello loves. It is a great day for.
Sarah: An inspiration. Oh we’re so excited to be with you girls in a span of few weeks.
Tracey Porter: It has been a few weeks you just have to forgive us. You just can’t get a little bit of us here and there.
Sarah: It’s you know the schedules summer and all that business.
Tracey Porter: Summer changes everything.
Sarah: Kind of nice, isn’t it?
Tracey Porter: In fact it can lead this into our—
Sarah: It does.
Tracey Porter: Fabulous topic for today. So aren’t we all always so curious to find out what does she have in her purse because here’s a thing. Summer comes along and don’t we need to go from your winter purse into your summer purse. We were just talking about this.
Sarah: I actually am the topic because I’m still carrying my winter purse, my big black bag and I literally still have items in it.
Tracey Porter: From winter.
Sarah: From six months ago. We have this darling tote bags and I said to Trace I need to freshen it up. So we thought how inspiring for us, how inspiring for you.
Tracey Porter: We all need to freshen it up a little bit. So there are things that are key to caring in one’s purse and then we all have the odd ball things we carry in our purse. I’m sure you guys are going to blog us and tell us the odd ball things.
Sarah: Can’t wait to hear what you’re carrying around.
Tracey Porter: You are going to carry okay. So Sarah has a one very odd ball thing in her purse.
Sarah: Oh I do, the wallet organizer? No. Tracey things this is odd, this is an essential and I learn this from my mother.
Tracey Porter: Do you carry this in your purse.
Sarah: I carry various worms of this. Okay.
Tracey Porter: It’s a weapon.
Sarah: I’m such a nature girl. My mama says you’ll never know what the day is going to bring. I always have to have a little cutter or a nipper or scissors in my purse because if I’m driving along.
Tracey Porter: As you see that we she wants to get rid of it. There’s a lilac bush in a bloom and nobody is around I made her. So do you see this running through your yard with her nipper? You’ll know.
Sarah: It’s always back to the garden for me. Okay without feeling you know it judge by that. What something interesting in your bag, Mrs. Porter.
Tracey Porter: I really don’t carry too many odd ball things in my bag. Like its — my bag is a little more practical.
Sarah: Talk to us about one of your fetishes actually Tracey you know it’s an organizer, very naturally but you have a system that you developed to get all your chaos.
Tracey Porter: I always have one of these little clear folders in my purse with pens and pencils and a notebook. I always have that because you’ll never know what’s going through one’s mind. What you needed jot down and they always have like pretty folder which is ever falling apart so I’m ever buying new ones of goodies. It might be tear sheets that I’m finding like I said so I keep it in a little folder so then I can organize it later but they just helps me especially I think that happened to me. We travel regularly so when we run airplanes and things like that we bring along magazines that we live on the plane or leave in the hotel rooms.
Sarah: It’s what you drag around.
Tracey Porter: It’s too much.
Sarah: You’ve got to tear out things that you need.
Tracey Porter: Keep the good parts so I always take it in a folder that kind of thing. So you know that’s one of my more practical kind of thing.
Sarah: Yes, now speaking of travel this is the thing that we just learned on the last time that we were traveling and I’d love it so much. Okay so, we’re traveling to Asia frequently. We want to be traveling to Europe a little bit more.
Tracey Porter: More than we do yes but we love it.
Sarah: If this is my new method what I do you guys is Tracey and I both carry these amazing organizers which would provide you with the link because we love that.
Tracey Porter: We’d know what to do with it.
Sarah: It filer fax, calendar, wallet, all the business right here.
Tracey Porter: It’s really fantastic.
Sarah: But I’ve learned from all the airport nonsense that I keep all of my work related in a foreign currency, my passport.
Tracey Porter: We always have lots of different currencies in our wallets. I mean I literally pulled out my Hong Kong dollars recently.
Sarah: Yes it’s never intentional but if you can keep them separate and in a cute little wallet.
Tracey Porter: And isn’t that so cute?
Sarah: And then sometimes if we’re not traveling and I yearn to be traveling I pull it out and look through it and then —
Tracey Porter: Just smell it.
Sarah: Dream a little. So that’s kind of fun.
Tracey Porter: All right, I keep a bag full of goodness. You have lots of your goodness.
Sarah: Yes but let’s spill it.
Tracey Porter: Okay so I spill my goodness. So my goodness is it’s all pretty practical stuff. Sarah and I always have Ziploc. This is not very much done this way.
Sarah: And it’s not drugs in here.
Tracey Porter: It’s not rag this is just a Ziploc bag we always hit because we’re constantly going to the airports and everything has to be dump in the Ziploc so we always have Ziploc bags you know. I always keep Kleenex.
Sarah: I don’t need much you really are addicted to the Kleenex.
Tracey Porter: I’m a Kleenex person.
Sarah: I’m not so much.
Tracey Porter: And the funny thing is it always has to be a big firm one like this.
Sarah: And a fresh pack for her.
Tracey Porter: It has to be a fresh pack. I always have perfume with me because you know.
Sarah: Yes and I prefer a sample size in mine.
Tracey Porter: Little dispenser.
Sarah: Yap, yap, yap.
Tracey Porter: I love it.
Sarah: Okay go ahead.
Tracey Porter: Lip gloss I always have it. Oh I always have tip two forms of lip gloss, a Chapstick which I would merely die without my ChapStick which I would merely die without my Chapstick.
Sarah: Right you could literally attach one to your palm and should be just fine.
Tracey Porter: I really need one of those rings you know that I had in the third grade that I open up and then I could go like this and you know what I do. I need a Wonder woman ring like that.
Sarah: Yes and I have it mine you know with a lip gloss or the brush and the mirror one tote.
Tracey Porter: Yeah so that’s so smart and then have Advil 60 SPF, wipes.
Sarah: This is essential.
Tracey Porter: This is key in our world.
Sarah: Travel moms it’s just I can’t survive without those little wet wipes.
Tracey Porter: Our lotion and I if I don’t have my lotion I'm—
Sarah: The ponytail holder.
Tracey Porter: Then I’m putting Chapstick all over the box of my hands.
Sarah: And she really does it.
Tracey Porter: I really do that and then I keep a little make up situations with me too.
Sarah: So this is your travel pack.
Tracey Porter: This is my travel pack like brushes and then you know blush blah-blah-blah. All that junk in there so it’s nice and small and I can hold it. TicTacs because we always have our mens.
Sarah: Yes mens. I’m a gang girl so I usually have both varieties
Tracey Porter: I love that keep Benadryl spray in yours too that’s always right.
Sarah: I do you I was recently at the doctor and she told me that you know some people are more susceptible to bug bites while I am the perfect example of it wherever there is a bug they are there. I think I just must be a little bit more sweet than others because I don’t know.
Tracey Porter: Yeah, I think you are. Honey run in through your veins.
Sarah: Is that right?
Tracey Porter: Yes.
Sarah: I will be seeing in my finger last week I’ve got black fly bites on my neck. This is my new ode Sierra. This is my new perfume.
Tracey Porter: They make a little or many —
Sarah: Due date.
Tracey Porter: Yeah I think they don’t.
Sarah: I need the big one and then this was interesting.
Tracey Porter: And if you want to you could —
Sarah: And then this I thought it was funny. This happens to me casually. That the jewelry you put on in the morning and then it becomes bothersome so you whip it in the bottom of your purse but then you can got to go somewhere good. You put it and they have to say and role over it already so just a few essential to get us to our days.
Tracey Porter: Flip video is good for capturing moments. We always have our video camera with us, this little tiny, wonderful video camera.
Sarah: On the fly videos.
Tracey Porter: Yeah there’s kind of it. We’re not too high maintenance.
Sarah: We’re not you know.
Tracey Porter: We keep it pretty simple.
Sarah: I have to and the things that sets you busy and important.
Tracey Porter: Yeah you know and I think when we travel we get more junk and wrappers, isn’t it?
Sarah: But a little freshening up, a little tightening up of the bag it make is it —
Tracey Porter: Zipping here nippers too either.
Sarah: No they don’t but it’s beautiful and we’re just leaving our day to day don’t you think. I have to get you one.
Tracey Porter: Yeah, through your toenails or whatever.
Sarah: Anyway do tell us what you keep in your purse we must know it. I’m so curious about some of you.
Tracey Porter: Oh yes and you know who you are too.
Sarah: So until the next time over with you girls.
Tracey Porter: Happy days.
Sarah: Happy summer.
