I'm working on gathering the courage to go out tonight. What is it that I must have in my purse?

Well, I always carry:
Identification, phone, cash, lipstick/gloss, a powder compact, mascara, makeup remover wipes, tissues, gum, etc.
Good luck!

I take lipstick, my drivers licence, money and cards, a compact, keys, cell phone, tissues, and not in my purse, an escape kit with makeup removers and a few clothes and shoes just in case.

You forgot a hundreds other items; I know it is at least a hundred because when I must cray
my wife's purse it weighs a ton. And there is always a book in the purse, as well as tissue.
I wish it had wheels like luggage does.

For the car: guy clothes, shoes and makeup remover.
Thank you; I just hope that the cash for drinks is all I need, but there were some items on your lists that are important.
I carry my phone, car keys, ID, lipstick and powder. That is all I need.
In addition to all of the above, I usually carry extra stick-on nails (various sizes) and glue, just in case I lose one.
I always carry a Swiss army knife because I was a boy scout and you never know how that can come in handy, but i'm sure you can think of 1000 situations
I just bought a new purse today and it's kinda small... I'll need to figure out just the bare necessities to carry with me.
All the things you can't find.
My SO can never find anything in her purse.
I keep mine as simple as possible. Cash, cards, phone, and touch-up makeup.
Moderator hat on:
Folks, I had to delete a number of posts in this thread. Discussion of "protection", whether it be feminine or the kind that goes "bang" isn't allowed.
Moderator hat off
Things I find useful in my purse:
Leatherman Tool
LED penlight
Small pill bottle with selection of OTC medications.

Take everything you would normally carry and your makeup for touchups...
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I carry my ID cell phone lipstick mascara your keyes tissues and makeup for btouching up during the night.
Pinkessence Transliving Urnotalone
Like most women, everything including the kitchen sink.
Jorja's got it, I think my wife goes in the bathroom and just drags it all over and dumps it in her purse, then puts her wallet and phone, car keys and stuff on top, and don't forget tissues. Her purse is heavy enough to permanently do shoulder damage.lol

Magic is the art of changing consciousness at will.
I carry wallet, ID, checkbook, cash, coins, phone, comb, keys, aspirin, pens, medication, tissues, lipstick, medical cards, debit card, brush, and breath mints. And yes, my purse is heavy. Sorry to the husbands that have to carry around our purses when they do, you are angels
Define "normal"
If you throw out all the useless items and the things that Eryn has advised us about, I think Kathi Lake wins the prize for most practical kit.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Wrenchette's wife reminded me of a few things;
Brush, pen, and a camera.

Ditto and extra nails/glue if you wear falsies and don't forget hair brush.Originally Posted by Kathi Lake
I also carry one of the travel packages of wet wipes. They have come in handy many times.
All the girly items, plus super glue, male drivers lic, and enough cash to get you home if you need to get a cab. I do not want to be stranded because of one two many glasses of wine or car problems.
I took extra lipstick, cell phone, credit card and some cash
Thank you ALL,
Just the kind of advice / ideas a new girl needs!
