Your Handbag/Junk Drawer

Admit it! You know you have at least one in your home. We all do. A dreaded junk drawer. Because certain items just don’t seem to fit or belong anywhere. And so we cram them into the safe haven of that never-to-be-opened drawer which only sees the light of day when we need to stuff additional crap to the heap.

We understand. Our busy lives dictate that we are usually out and about running around. Picking things up, dropping things off, and yes, along the route of our hectic days we tend to accumulate stuff. And where does it go? Why into the handbag, where else?

Ever dump the contents of your purse onto your bed? You should. In fact, we can almost guess what you may have in there now, among other things: a busted click-pen from your bank, the paper wrapping from a straw, and maybe even a tube of lemon-scented hand cream given to you as a free gift for the holidays from the lovely Asian woman who does your pedicures.

Even the neatest and most organized among us will have useless items and wrappers and rubbish at the bottom of her bag. Ladies, you spend good money on your purses. They not only help to complete your look, they drum up all sorts of attention and admiration and you love every second of it. Be kinder to your handbags. Treat them with the respect they deserve.

Save the junk drawers for where nature intended—in your kitchen!
