Editors Note: Although I can appreciate a great pair of heels as much as the next woman, my accessory of choice has always been my handbag.  It is like a life source for me to get through my day, and having it properly stocked with everything I need is just one of the many ways I take care of myself.  Take care of YOU today and Pack Your Purse For Summer so you can feel centered and prepared! ~Nitika~

I don’t know what it is about a woman’s purse, but it seems that we all have this obsession with our hand selected daily companion.  Whether you are in to the Mary Poppins bag where the amount you have stuffed in it doesn’t seem to end, or you steer towards a more modest bare necessities approach, chances are if you are a woman you like to Pack Your Purse with all sorts of goodies to get you through the day.  Below is a list of items that I transfer from bag to bag just to make sure I am always prepared and in style!

1) Not enough women carry lotion in their bags, and I think it is an absolute must! Weleda’s Skin Food is made with organic sunflower seed oil and extracts of wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and revitalizing rosemary extract to perk up tired skin.  It is a great rescue remedy for the woman on the go to be prepared for any meeting, whether you will be shaking someone’s hand, or holding them.

2) After running around all day we run the risk of looking a bit tired, after all we are human.  I find that adding a little COLOR to your cheeks can have you looking refreshed instantly.  My new favorite is Cheekie Cheek & Lip Stain by Trinette Faint.  Dab a small amount on your cheek bones for an instant glow, it works for lips too!  To Pack Your Purse with Cheekie Cheek & Lip Stain visit www.LoveHue.com.

3) While it isn’t always easy to find the perfect outfit to take us from all day to all night, I have a secret to dressing up your look instantly.  EARRINGS.  Carry a killer pair of earrings with you at all times and you will be able to sparkle at any event at the end of your busy day. This knock-out pair is from one of my all time favorite jewelry designers, Miguel Ases.  They even come with a gorgeous pouch when you buy them at Fragments so they will be protected in you purse!  To Pack Your Purse with these stunning earrings visit http://www.fragments.com/

4)    With all of the gadgets, ID’s, and currency we have stuffed in our purse the one thing we all can certainly not live without is a wallet!  I recently stumbled upon Abas Leather and fell in love with their gorgeous variety of wallet styles, sizes, and COLORS!  No matter what you fancy you are sure to find one that matches your sense of style and budget.  To Pack Your Purse with an Abas wallet visit http://www.abasaccessories.com/.

5) I am a big advocate of the whole less is more approach when it comes to makeup but the one thing I will never be able to let go of, is a perfectly prepped pout.  With the loads of natural ingredients in all of Tarte Cosmetics products I can look fabulous without the guilt! The waterproof, gel-based lip stain on one end imparts a natural glow, while the cocktail of tripeptides in the lip-enhancing gloss on the other end stimulates collagen on a cellular level so pucker up beauties!!
