Happy Monday! Today I'm kickstarting a collaboration series called #5DaystoMinimalism with my friend Brittany of Naturally Thrifty Mom. Every day this week, we'll be uploading a video where we declutter a small area of our lives. Day 1 begins with the purse.

Watch the announcement video below & join me in this #5DaystoMinimalism challenge!

Watch how I clean out my purse for Day 1 of this challenge.

This is just an example of regular maintenance & clearing out every once in a while. Also, I switch between bags often so this is an example of ALL the things I would carry. If I carry a smaller bag I'll remove the pouches and larger things, and at minimum I'll carry my phone, car key, chapstick, and cards.
