I've learned that there really isn't anything I need to take along with me most of the time. When I used one of my larger purses I'd carry my brush, my makeup (well, some of it), and hand cream & numerous other things that I never used. As long as I have my DL and my debit card I'm good. Oh, and my Medicare card. I usually know where I'm going before I go so there's no need to take everything each time. I can do much more damage just sitting at my computer with my credit or debit card.
