How to Never Lose Anything in Your Purse Again!

I really wanted to do a "What's in my Purse" video...but then I remembered I wasn't a beauty guru. So, I'm gonna tell you how to organize it instead ;-)
A lot of items can get lost in your purse during the course of the day. We're reaching in, grabbing money, grabbing lipstick or phones and things like that and it can be really easy for items to get lost in the abyss of your bag. Well, let me introduce a couple of simple concepts that have helped me keep my purse organized. So, first I'll show you what's in my purse and introduce you to the first concept which is compartmentalization. If you've ever wondered what to do with those little cosmetic bags you get from Sephora well, here's what you can do. Use them to compartmentalize your purse. Secondly, I do not carry the possible contents of my purse in my purse at all times. I would like to introduce you to the concept of the purse bin! I hope you enjoy this video!
But this isn't the only thing in my purse. Don't believe me? Well, let me show you, where the rest of the contents of my purse are.

SKIP AHEAD to 3:40 if you don't care about the history of purses or how heavy your purse should be.

[@trishameloling2367]

The Organized Soprano where did you get your cosmetic bag I love it!

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

The Organized Soprano there is this channel called priorattire. Historical garments etc. You might find answers to your pocket question there. ;-)

[@claudiaflores4597]

@@kkova8590 lol I came to give this same piece of info 🤓

[@candicemannette9589]

I know you said you're not a beauty guru but would love to see an updated "what's in my purse" or "how to organize my purse" video. :)

[@ALLGIRL62]

Love nerdy-Kay who teaches us the history of things.

[@aprilcurtis2929]

Me too!

[@renee4495]

That made the whole video for me! Loved it!

[@mariahreece5258]

I love that you included history & facts. That's incredibly thoughtful, especially for our society today which doesn't *always* prioritize education. Thank you! :)

[@Piddeaux]

You said the magic word "baggallini." I'm addicted!

[@tonyadombrowski4650]

There would be slits in the dresses and petty coats like pockets, where they had access to pocket like purses held on with a ribbon around the waistline

[@elenanaumova3398]

Whenever my friends complain about the mess in the purse I tell them about you and your method to keep everything in compartments. Warmest regards from Russia.

[@neetarao4563]

Exactly what I was looking for. Minimalistic yet comprehensive list of essentials. Loved it !

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@rosemalde4]

I have used mini bags for years but never thought of doing a to go spot for less used items. Genius! !!! I am off to get one set up at my house.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay! I'm so glad to have inspired you!

[@patriciacarman7906]

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Love the extended purse compartment! 💜

[@dawns1017]

I knew about compartmentalization, but the go-box or whatever you want to call it at the front door, that is going to be a life saver for the forgotten items when I switch purses. I sometimes leave out the cosmetic case or something. I often switch purses on Sundays (purse has to match my Sunday outfit) and something is always missing. Thank you, thank you. I think I am going to subscribe!! Can't wait to see your older videos and what's to come!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@sanjanarohera]

I never comment on videos on here but this video is great! Especially the ‘rest of my purse’ idea. That’s what adds majority of the clutter to my bag - loveee the idea!!

[@Saucyakld]

Skirts had slits so you could get your money from a purse hung from your band of your skirts

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I swear, one of these days I'm going to be in an early opera and I'm going to be in a costume with these early purses LOL

[@ThaBloodWitch]

Thank you KZbin algorithm, I love it! I compartmentalize my purse and it's SO HELPFUL. It makes finding things and switching between bags so easy. The little container for gift cards is genius! I don't have a scale on hand, but most of my purse weight comes from the fact I carry a book and two notebooks with me every day, one attached to a pen pouch too. 😅 Great video.

[@helendebruin2520]

I loved "the rest of my purse". Such a great idea. I'm going to apply it! Thankyou.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay!!!! Cheers!

[@danimiller6546]

I LOVE the purse bin by the door idea!! Thank you!

[@ladybugp7610]

Ok, where do I begin? First, the room you’re in is gorgeous. Love the accessories behind you. Second, the history of the purse was very interesting. Third, your top is really cute! Fourth, I love your purse and the small orange bag. So darn cute! Thanks so much for the video!!! New subscriber!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!! ☺

[@catief1031]

Cool! I did do something similar in my large purse, though I had cheap plastic pouches that started tearing up. I love the beside the door bin idea!

[@catgirldo7646]

Very well done. Love your history lesson to start the total learning experience. I admire smart and funny and clever women and that certainly is YOU.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much!

[@dennissems]

Love your videos. Been binge watching ❤❤❤❤

[@laurice8056]

Your purse organizer ideas and family go to boxes have inspired me. I already know that my bag weighs a ton, but your suggestions could help me to lighten my load. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay! So happy!

[@HowdyHandbags]

I really enjoyed the history lesson. My MIL still puts cash in her bra. She stopped putting her phone there after a non-cancerous breast lump. Lately, I carry a larger bag because I’m carrying a sweater in it. Nice video. Your pouches are keeping you organized.

[@naukana2]

Binge watching your videos!! Got some great ideas for repurposing items

[@hemsathvlog2201]

bags within bags. I love it. Makes so much sense. Thank you!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@RebeccaWife1Mom4]

I love the history you add to your videos! I just found your channel tonight and I am now binge watching your videos.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! I am just curious and my mind goes down many rabbit holes LOL

[@leeprice3839]

Loved this video. You are soooo funny! Fabulous ideas you have that have sparked up possibly a few more or at least fine-tuned a few I already use. Once again thank you.

[@Godisgr81]

Thanks for that history lesson and organization tips. Now, it totally makes since to me where the term pocketbook was derived!!! 😊

[@mom2kendall]

Just found your channel today! We just redid our kitchen and put a set up upper cabinets that sit on top of our counter with small drawers. My husband and I each have one to ourselves for our own stuff. I use mine for my purse stuff too! I love it!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

OMG Perfect!!!

[@suetupper9162]

What an excellent video!.....thank u!.....oh,in love with your 🎒 bag!

[@elizabethdirks6533]

Okay, you motivated me. Cleaning and organizing the entryway tower and purse now. Plus now I don't feel alone in having bags for my bags, lol. Thanks!

[@cathycollins1705]

Genius idea! I will be using this suggestion in 2 mins. Thank You.

[@charlenesantos4082]

Just found your channel and I love it! Smiling as I listen to you. Great video!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@JudithABlair]

I have been enjoying your videos😊. I enjoy organization too, if my husband would ever stop moving furniture around😄. Great ideas you have there! Especially the Red Five Bin Tower and the hinged box! Would love to have the tower for our family later($$$)we'll have to use an alternative because the idea is wonderful and a must! I did weigh my purse and it didn't show up. So I weighed myself.....we won't talk about that, the scale works!😲 I have in my purse one wallet, one cellphone wallet(used as medical wallet for meds. , medical cards, medical info.).,hair brush with two hairties around it, keys, two mini measuring tapes, key chain with lipbalm and hand sanitizer. I threw my datebook in and still nothing on the scale. 😊 A quick run to store grab wallet, keys and coat. I have a carrier for my water bottle with a pocket, unless I throw it in my purse than my purse would weigh 4.8 lbs.

[@TheVelvetArmy]

New subbie here. Your information is clear and your delivery is excellent. This could be a full time gig for you! Cheers for a wonderful video:)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! That means a lot to me!

[@patmartin9727]

First time watching your videos. I have just found your channel and will be binge watching you over the next few days.

[@wandacoberley2000]

I love your ideas and your bubbly personality!! Great videos!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you!

[@toyawrightmichael8036]

Love the history lesson, and the great organization. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@robynknauth5792]

I like the idea of having an extra box for the stuff I don't use. My bag is big but I carry my planner with me all the time, I'm always asked what hours I'm working next week or planning an appointment or going on vacation.

[@kaylabryson1932]

Love the pocket talk lol!!! So funny, loved it. And thanks for the great info! So helpful ❤️

[@joanmoriarty3372]

That 5 bin tower is so perfect 😊

[@MrsKuhn.2]

love this idea!

[@lifewithlovie]

💜 this! Very informative, appreciate the history of the 👜. Mine weighed in at 4lbs

[@cruzrodriguez2108]

I like how you organize your purse. Thank you so much for sharing

[@einsteindarwin8756]

Thanks for sharing this is brilliant!

[@supermrssoup]

I loved your take on this! I checked the comments, but wanted to tell you that the Renaissance purses were placed deep within the layers of the skirt. They then had slits in the top layers that allowed them to go after the purses. So kind of the original pockets for women in dresses/pants!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

It all makes sense now!!!

[@Lashlove16]

Great tips I have a go zone in my trunk ( that way I always have what I need ) I also keep mints / gum and Mini Office bag

[@michellestevens1080]

Thank you so much for the history ...so helpful and positive

[@Whimsicaltalesx]

Thank you for the tips!! It certainly helped me!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay!

[@laciemeadors6949]

I feel you on the accident prone bit girl, trust me. And without fail I always leave something in another bag. Terrible habit I need to break 😅😅

[@rebeccamc8084]

Bag goals right there girl! Xx

[@juliemoore6957]

Love it! But where's your nail file, powder compact, kleenex?

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I rarely if ever use tissues when I carry them. I have a tiny nail clipper and a mirror compact in my toiletry bag. It's truly tiny as I've downsized to one lip color, a lip balm, a small hand cream and a mirror.

[@MsSlugbug]

Enjoyed watching this! I have the same purse in black!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

YAS!!!! Thanks for watching!

[@marlenemarken976]

You have some very good ideas. This is the first time I've come upon your chapel😀💕

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much!

[@youaintneverlied]

My purse is huge/heavy; I use it when commuting to work and it contains A LOT. So what I get from this vlog is that I have a BUNCH of little bags already that I can use to compartmentalize (esp. those cords man!) and make life a little easier. Free DIY! TFS

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

YAASSS! The cords are literally THE. WORST.

[@nieceypiecey100]

Gonna try the this! I carry mints and gum but hate those scents being left in my bags.

[@LifeofYen]

Great tips! I could've totally used these tips when I used to haul a big bag to and from work!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

+Yenny Thanks! I remember that grind too! #thestruggle

[@suzieq2493]

Hi, I'm going back and watching your older video's. Do you happen to know the name of your Coach bag? Thanks!

[@sheilafelix113]

I use my IPSY bags to compartmentalize, but I never thought of having a go zone! Love it! The only thing I would add is a pen. I use my phone for notes and reminders but sometimes you just need a pen! Lol I really enjoy your channel! I even let the commercials play through. Hahaha!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

YA, awesome idea! I'd put a pen there, but my pen storage is steps away, so I just never thought of it! Maybe I'll throw one in for good measure! THANK you for letting the ad play all the way through! You are so sweet! I put all my AdSense pennies back into the channel right now, so that means a lot, especially since I do not place mid-roll ads on my channel right now. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@micheleoliver6122]

Great video! Your opening monolog cracked me up!

[@debbiethomson7322]

Great, helpful ideas!🙂

[@dpatco]

You are a sharp girl...Love the idea of the purse Box. Soooo smart. Love your humor as well.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much!

[@marissasharp9892]

First time watching your Chanel! Loved this vid! You have such a sweet, upbeat “purse-sonality,” LOL! (

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you!!! OMG, I LOVE a good pun!!! It's totally my bag! LOL (I'll stop) Here is the link to the earbud case. I'll have to update the description too! amzn.to/2CkJyS9

[@bethbowden5844]

My purse only weighed 3.4 pounds. I’m very surprised. Thanks very helpful video, and you have such a friendly personality. 😊

[@meherchadha40]

Love how organised you are

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! 😊

[@roseb.7104]

Thank you SO MUCH, for your amazing video!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@marieavila7100]

Where have you been my whole life? I've been carrying all this purse crap around with me for ages never thinking of the box. I'm going to go find a container to put near my door tonight. My bag thanks you and so do I.

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

I second in, subscribed. Natural, a SOP, and organized?? Winning.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay!!! Thank you for subscribing!

[@melissac.5948]

Such a useful, educational and entertaining video! I often carry a nice, leather bag like your Coach bag, but oftentimes would rather carry a small, lightweight, nylon crossbody so I can just walk in the park or go grocery shopping. I got the Tom Bihn Side Effect crossbody to put inside my leather bags as an organizer and as a walking bag. I put my absolute necessities in the Side Effect, and leave the lesser-necessities in the leather bag. I leave the leather bag at home or in the car trunk -- and then take off walking with my Side Effect.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! Yeah, my other bag is a baggalini crossbody and it gets a lot more action LOL. I can take it to the dog park and not have to worry about it getting dirty! The Tom Bihn Side Effect is cute though! I might have to do a little investigating!

[@melissac.5948]

The Organized Soprano Tom Bihn is the very best quality...I did a LOT of research before getting that big little bag. 🇨🇦♥️

[@808Blessed1]

Hi I really enjoy this video and love that 5 drawer that you got from the container store. That's a great idea having a purse bin for your purse. You are so well organized.👍

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you for watching!! :)

[@808Blessed1]

Hi can you do a video on incoming mail and paper work what to keep and trash? That would be so helpful cause I'm not so great dealing with paper work.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

[@dianadommer6274]

Love your videos 👍 My purse weights 11.2 😃 Going to try your purse box idea with a old dresser were not using to reduce what I carry. I thought the history of purses was awesome!

[@vi9763]

Great tips. I always struggle with purse organization. I'll have to get a small 'go zone' bin 💜

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Let me know how it works out! Thanks for watching ^_^

[@myriammu-ni3301]

amazing!

[@bettyveronica460]

[@AmandaBaias]

Excellent ideas!!!! Will implement asap. Thank you!

[@AmandaBaias]

I went through my purses today and I organized everything according to your tips. I still need to find some sort of bag or container for my electronics, but the purse I'm currently using already looks a million times better. Thank you!!!!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

AWESOME!!!!

[@maryhooker-brogdon1140]

Loved this!! Yes-dresses with pockets!! I like your purse drawer/box idea. I'm guessing my bag weighs about 5 lbs. I will weigh it one of these days, cuz now you've got me curious ;)

[@zorahami5871]

Une vidéo très bien faite du début a la fin de très bonnes idées merci

[@maureenmanning1244]

The intro made me laugh. Great tips as usual!

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

Watching your videos repeatedly is very good for me. Love your bin ideas! Gonna set up such a bin for myself tomorrow! Also meant to share how I protect & carry my delicate ear buds and things: Hard-shell, clamshell style, upscale brand name, well made, hinged eyeglasses cases from Goodwill etc. Very inexpensive, convenient armor to carry fragile items in purse and grab them easily! (Just be sure not to clamp ear bud cords in the edges when you close the clamshell case. You can gently roll them up in a small piece of soft fabric first. I hate damaging my ear buds lol. Like my very smart dad says, the wires inside those cords are thinner than hairs! So easy to break as I'm dainty but intense and outdoorsy lol!)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Love the glasses case idea!!!

[@bambam4x]

Love your vids, and the use of when and where bags and pockets were invented.. bags i guess in under wear.. what..lol

[@LibbyWithnall]

I also love using small bags to organise my purse.

[@aldaours8108]

I’d love to know where you find those small plastic snap boxes/containers you utilize for gift cards, thanks in advance!

[@elizabethamato7082]

Hi Kay....just wanted to say hello and tell you that I really enjoy your channel! I am a new subscriber, and am relatively new to YT..I have gotten more motivated by your organizing videos since I have been watching! I also lived in the Boston area for about 10 years..closer to the airport since I work for an airline! But I now live in Florida! Keep up the great work on your organizing informational videos! Thank you so much again!

Thank you! And thank you for subscribing!

[@nbd22]

I have a "purse box" from an old gift box. hoping to upgrade it soon with something that is more structured

[@angiegal71]

This is exactly what I do!! I learned this after reading "The life changing magic of tidying up". I have a bin in the closet by our front door. I keep purse items in there that I might need and then fill my purse each morning depending on where I'm going and how long I will be gone. I also have a "wallet" that has a strap that I use as a small purse when I just have an errand to run. I love this system...much more functional then trying to carry everything you "might" need everywhere all the time. Great video!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much!

[@pookiebear364]

You so crack me up! My bag is....OMG!!!...one at a time!.. Keep going.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Keep on going! LOL

[@rsamieng]

Great ideas and tips! I'm using a light purse right now but I was shocked when it weighed in at 9 lbs. I guess I need to cull that a bit.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

+Amie N. 9lbs! Oh boy! I actually found a lot of my crazy weight was like cosmetics and a heavy travel mirror...the weirdest stuff!! Thanks for watching! ^_^

P.S. - the mummy picture woke me up a little haha! Nice job on the trivia. And... my bag weighed MORE than 10lbs. SMH. I needed this video!
