When I started to carry a handbag in my mid teens, I was asking myself what am I supposed to have in a handbag. I was more of a sporty type of girl that was always carrying a backpack or a large tote bag, full of my softball or basketball gears.
I was so curious that I went being so 'busy-body' peeping into my vain girlfriends' dainty bags...and wooooo! They carried lots of make-ups - mostly different kinds of lipsticks, comb and many little things like pictures of boyfriends, hair clips, change of jewelleries and many more.
It was a change of style, when my good friend, Steffi, who was just as 'tomboyish' as me (only during those teens years lah) and me went on a hunting trip at shopping centres to get ourselves perfect handbags for the school's year-end party...lols. We don't use much make ups, so it was just purse, lip balm and a packet of tissue can be found in our handbags hahahaha....
But as time went by, we learnt the tricks of adding up what sorts of contents for our handbags. And when I started to work in my twenty's, I was so hooked up on buying designer handbags and purses....some brands like Gucci, CJ and Lanvin are still in my possession while most of them have been given or thrown away.
I learnt to appreciate these fine and beautiful custom made handbags. It did cost a fortune at that time and I took careful care to keep them. On certain occassions I would splurged myself with a new one... the longest that had been with me was a Nina Ricci purse, for about twenty years. Now tattered and been replaced with a Braun Buffel :D
I have also added more items in my handbag such as diary/notebook (which I still do now), moble phones, pens, a mini pouch of lispticks, balms, liners rouge etc...a packet of mentos and many more....lols
But I guess, different women have different contents in their handbags. Each woman has her own preference when choosing a handbag in regards to the colours or style or even in sizes. Today's women do enjoy splurging themselves with expensive ones. Well...is it a trend or just being a victim?
Anyway, do women realised that their handbags do post some risks of contracting illness if not diseases? How is that so? Imagine, or you may see that some, if not all women, tend to put their handbags on the surfaces which we do not know for sure if those surfaces are really clean...for instance in the public toilet. Handbags are often put on the counter while women wash their hands...with the naked eye, it looks clean but what if it happens before the cleaners made their rounds??
Another good example is at eateries or restaurants. Women tend to put their handbags on the floor by their side...hmmm yikes! Can you imagine what 'stucks' at the bottom of the handbags...and then when these women get home, where will the handbags be put? Some are either on the dining table, living room or anywhere in the home... errrr I will leave the rest to your imagination ..lols...like the germs at the bottom of the handbags being 'transferred to the dining table and so on...yikes!!! There could be millions of germs...some could also be deadly!
Think about it and be your own CSI ...because I have and I am so kiasu on this...lols.
Below are among some items found in my tote bag...Bigboss thinks I am always carrying a large rock! hahahahaha....
