Handbag Heaven: The Maintenance Program

Last year, I wrote a post about how to keep your handbag in a clean and tidy state. Today as I dug through my purse and felt loose coins, old receipts and lip gloss rolling around at the bottom, I felt my irritation rise. How hypocritical of me to write about keeping an organized, clean bag, when I haven't managed to do it myself! I asked myself where I failed. And the answer was I that I had not followed the maintenance program.

They say it takes about three weeks to form a habit. So here I go again. From this day forward I will:

Immediately throw out any receipt I know I don't need rather than carelessly tossing it into my bag and allowing them to pile up.
Take the time to put change in my wallet and zip it closed before hopping out of a cab instead of feeling rushed to get out and then finding my whole coin purse dumped into my bag.
Put all cosmetics into one pouch and faithfully return them to their home after use.
Always keep my phone in the cell phone pocket so I don't have to dig around like a maniac every time it rings.

Sounds so easy doesn't it? I would love to hear your tips for keeping your handbag organized. For more ideas on how to cleanse your handbag and start fresh, read here.
