Emergency Pocket: Purse Edition

There is a zippered pocket in my Merona purse (see review here) where I keep all my "emergency" items.

If you'd like to watch a What's in my Bag video to see everything inside click HERE.

Emergency pocket innards (top left to bottom right):
Pad
CPR Shield
Tissues (see review here)
St. Ives Fresh H20 Body Moisturizer Gel-Creme with Aqua Capsules (for Dry skin)
Sleep Mask
Cough Drop
Tums
Ibuprofen (gel capsules)
My inhaler
Germ-X Hand sanitizing wipes
Burt's Bees Revitalizing Lip Balm (see review here)
One band-aid

The CPR Shield is from a CPR class that I had to take for work (post about where I work here). I know how to save you. This is just a shield in case of spittle/blood/throw-up. They are disposable but the teacher gave us all an extra to keep with us. :D

I do have asthma but I rarely have asthma attacks unless something has really irritated my lungs. I have them maybe one every two weeks. It is more often while I'm sick.

Review: Merona Purse

My Merona purse from Target is amazing. One of the presents that Hubbins got me for Xmas 2013.

You can purchase this here at Target. for $34.99 if you are interested. It does come in SIX fantastic colors.

(Brown<--mine, Beige, Gray, Blue, New Mint, and Pink)

Gawd, if I wasn't afraid of color I would love to have the new mint color.

Its the perfect size for all of my garbage. 9.0 " H x 13.0 " W x 6.0 " D. It has handles AND a shoulder strap that can be made into an over the shoulder strap. It is very long.

Makeup, wallet, sunglasses,emergency supplies, random supplies, water bottle, phone, and keys.

I love the feel of the outside (Polyurethane) It is really soft leather feeling and the inside is the same color and polyester.

The inside has a cell phone pocket, an accessory pocket, and a zippered pocket. I use the cell phone pocket and accessory pocket for random items like receipts, lip gloss and lotion. The interior zippered pocket I use to hold all of my emergency supplies.

Emergency Supplies (inside right now):

Eye glasses repair kit

Band-aids

Tums

Ibuprofen

Tissues

Sleeping Eye Mask

Pad

Tampon

Hand Sanitizing Wipes

Inhaler

The exterior has one zippered pocket, and two side pouches. The exterior zippered pocket I use for non-emergency type items.

Non-Emergency Supplies:

Extra lip gloss

A Lighter

A mirror

Spare set of keys

Hair ties

Lipstick

A step counter...

One of the side pouches I use for my keys and cellphone and the other I use for my water bottle.

Complaints:

The top can close with a zipper. Personally I do not use this and I'm not sure I ever will but I hate it. I don't like the feeling of the two zipper edges scraping both sides of my hand and arm while I'm fishing around inside.

Also it isn't the BEST quality. There were a lot of strings hanging off everywhere when I first got it and I've had it over a month now and there are still some that I find.

In every other way though it is perfection.

What is your favorite purse and why?

My Christmas Wish List Top 10

Dear Santa, I was framed and here is my Christmas wish list. Yes the items are on the CHEAP side. I won't try and pull the wool over your eyes. I don't have the money to even make a wish list full of expensive things. It isn't in my DNA. I can't do it.

There is a little of everything. Any of these would be great presents for a mother, a sister, or a best friend.

Without further ado... my list

1. EMPERIA Quilted Satchel in "Tan"  $15
Purses. There are 10,000 purses that I love. This one IS sold out. I still want it though. Its price was $15. AHHhh gawd it's perfection. I think a purse will always be my #1 

2.  Maybelline Color Elixir in "Nude Illusion" $8.99. 
I saw this on Jaaackjack's November favorites video for 2013. I W.A.N.T. this. It looks glorious. Isn't the glass tube so pretty? I adore it.

3. Women's Myra Tall Boot $39.99 
Boots. I want them. Everyone has them. I have never owned a pair of boots. Yeah.. I live at 1234 under a rock lane... I see them everywhere now and they look so comfy and warm.

4. Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Scent $7.99 5.05oz
I heard about this from Sprinkleofglitter on youtube. She is so fun! I have no idea where I have been in terms of hair products but I have never tried a dry shampoo. I gave baby powder a try the other day and it was amazing. I LOATHE the smell though. I could not stand it. So I think getting this will be life changing. There are six scents.. Original, blush, refresh, cherry, wild , and paisley. I can't imagine what paisley smells like....castle dust? They also have tinted. 

5. Philosophy shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath in Spiced Gingerbread Cookie $16.50 16oz
It is all three (shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath) There are recipes on the bottle. Like FIVE years ago I had a set of three given to me and I absolutely loved them. I can't say that they left much of a smell on me afterward but using them was BLISS.

6. E.L.F. Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection $30
 I own ZERO brushes. Yeah. I subsist on disposable eye-shadow brushes, Q-tips, and cotton balls. So this is long overdue. This comes with the case, eye-shadow brush, complexion brush, small angled brush, small smudge brush, fan brush, powder brush, angled foundation brush, concealer brush, small precision brush, blush brush, and contouring brush. 

7. Pop Sugar Must Have Box. $39.95 per month
I must have one. La! I love watching Pop Sugar "unboxings". I'm CRAZY about watching Tyler Oakley on the Popsugargirlsguide YouTube channel. The things people get in these boxes... are just perfect. A perfect monthly surprise. 

8. Daily Planner 2014 Russian Doll $33.46 
I need one. I literally tear a piece of paper out of a notebook or grab a piece of printer paper. Every. Day. to write down lists for the day. This one is ADORBS. The person on Etsy makes the cover and then gives you an insert of your choosing. I would go for the daily one but look at the choices in the last picture. There are FIVE insert book options.

9.  Rae Dunn by Magenta "White Pear" Measuring cups $32 
Aren't these amazing? I hate putting measuring cups in drawers. They just aren't build for it. I adore this. Its beautiful and I would die if I could have this sitting on my counter.

10. Textured Popcorn Knit Infinity Scarf $9.99
I can crochet but I cannot knit (I know this isn't..real knitting) but I <3 this scarf. I wear a grey scarf 24/7 and I should probably shake that up a little bit. I'm not ready for other colors though.
