Because Grandmother would have wanted us to, here are Orleans Couture's tips of things every girl should and shouldn't carry in her purse.
5 Things You Should Carry In Your Purse
1. Emergency Contact Information- who would you want called if you are in an accident?
2. Emergency Medical/Medication Information - what if you're in an accident and cannot communicate?
3. Enough Cash To Cover A Small Emergency - what if your cards won't work somewhere?
4. AAA Card - what if you have car trouble?
5. Car Registration And Proof Of Insurance - what if your car gets stolen?
5 Things You Should Never Carry In Your Purse
1. Social Security Card - Never, never, never.
2. Keys To Your Car Or Home- They've already got your purse. Don't make everything else accessible too.
3. Checks - Never, never, never.
4. Multiple Credit Cards- And make a copy of the front and the back of cards you do carry in your purse so you can call and report them stolen right away. Also make copies of your Driver's License and other items so you'll have some reference points to begin replacing these items.
5. Flash Drive/USB Drive - Don't carry sensitive documents on external drives in your purse.
