Lighten Up Your Purse

I found this article to be very interesting. Hope you enjoy and find it useful .

According to Kelley Styring,author of In Your Purse, the average bag weighs 3-4 pounds and contains 67 objects.

Oh My could this be true!!!

All this heavy lifting is taking its toll. It can cause neck strain, headaches and aching shoulders. To shed weight,avoid purses with metal hardware, chain straps and thick leather. What about inside? Pare down to these essentials.

1. Money , ATM card and ID

2. Credit cards or a checkbook only if you plan to use them

3. Keys

4. Work badge

5. Sunglasses, reading glasses

6. Basic communication tools such as PDA, cell phone,day planner

7. Two core cosmetics, like a compact and lipstick

Hope this helps !!
