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?
