Purse & Organization
From what purse I use to all the organizational pouches I keep in there, these are the items I use to keep my purse organized and clean.
The Baggu Medium Crescent Crossbody has been my purse of choice for a few years now. It holds so much in its open compartment style center and is the perfect bag for anyone who loves to bring a lot of stuff with them.

Chronic Illness Necessities
While I am out and about, I still have chronic illnesses and symptoms that need to be managed. So here are the items I keep in my purse to make sure I am still managing my conditions when I am not home.
If you are a fellow potsie, you most likely already know about Vitassium Fastchews. But if not these are a great way to mitigate POTS symptoms in a pinch. I personally recommend and love the fruit punch flavor!

I like to keep a few of my emergency meds in my purse, but don’t necessarily want to carry every single medicine bottle for them. So this little pill case from Vera Bradley is a great way to keep your meds in your purse. And a plus is that it has the...

In this day and age, I think it is always important to have masks on hand and wear them when possible while out to protect yourself and others from getting sick.

When you have POTS, carrying around a pulse ox can be essential to be able to check when your heart rate is spiking. This is the one I have used for years now and I love it so much.

I also love to carry around some DripDrop in my purse for those moments when I need some electrolytes and to hydrate fast.

Sunglasses are an absolute must in my person and while I know these are expensive, they have been such a great buy. They aren’t the most fashionable, but the wrap around style blocks the sun from getting in my eyes from any direction. The lenses them...

Digicam
I love photography and capturing memories while I am out and about, but I don’t always want to do so from my phone. So here is the little digicam and supplies I keep in my purse to snap moments of life while I’m out of the house.
For those fun moments out with friends, I love keeping an old little digicam with me and my camera of choice is this Canon A530

Since this camera was made in the early 2000s, it can not use higher GB SD Cards. So make sure to grab a 2 GB Card if you decide to get one.
2GB Secure Digital Card | Transcend
If you have a little digicam in your purse, an SD Card Reader is a must for your phone. Mine is the Apple Brand Lightening Connector to SD Card Reader, but since most newer phones use USB-C now I added that one.

Since this little digicam uses AA batteries, carrying extra ones in your purse is always good. These Duracell brand ones are also rechargeable which is nice to be able to reuse them.

Sometimes a girl needs a moisturizing lip balm or gloss while she’s out and about, so here are the options that are my favorites.
I am personally not a lipstick girl, but I love a good lip balm or gloss. The Glossier Balm Dotcom is one of my absolute favorites with the black cherry, strawberry, rose, and the hot chocolate are my colors of choice.

The Glossier Ultralip is the perfect mix of a lipstick and gloss, it is moisturizing and the Vesper is my favorite shade.

Here are a few of the extra items I keep in my bag that didn’t fit neatly into any of the other categories.
It is always good to keep an extra charger on hand, you never know when you phone may die.

I always come prepared with different types of chargers, so I always keep a USB-C charger in me as well.
