Jazzy F. Baby’s Top 10 Stories of 2011 2011 went by faster than Lil' Kim running in a marathon race where the winner wins free plastic surgery for life. As the days went by faster the headlines got crazier and more random. One thing everyone loves to do is, read about other people's problems. What's better than reading about people problems? Reading about celebrities’ problems. I guess it's just good to know they go through the same things we all go through. However celebrities can take things a bit too far or just flat out embarrass themselves. I don't know if 2011 have topped previous years before but there were definitely some major foolery going down in 2011. We had Lil' Kim spending an entire year making love songs dedicated to Nicki Minaj after the Young Money Barbie took the throne as Queen of Female rap from her. Lil B The Based God released his "I'm Gay" album and more.

However those headlines are not relevant enough to make my list. There were a few headlines that seem to keep

Diddy & T.I. Altercation

Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony Break Up

9

This was something j u s t great to hear.

H o w m a n y times do you hear about someone putting Diddy in his place?

Now although T.I. claims he wasn't trying to check Diddy, that is what appeared to be happening. At the BET Hip Hop Awards after party held at Compound in ATL, Diddy had a tantrum yelling at Kenny Burn who wasn't drinking Ciroc but decided to stay true to his sponsor Grey Goose. T.I. wanted to keep things in check and not have any issue since he had just been released from prison. I'm just glad that someone had the guts to stand up to Diddy for a change. Last person to do it was my baby girl Laurieann Gibson.

2011 was a great year for Jennifer Lopez. She made the comeback no one saw coming.

Landing a 12 million dollar contract to judge American Idol, releasing a new album and picking several endorsements, you would think nothing could go wrong.

Well we were all wrong. Bam! Just when we thought Jenny from block wasn't going to be making any more trips around the block. Her and Marc Anthony decided to call it quits. Now what made this story so great was it came around the same time Marc joined the cast of Hawthorne and everyone just knew he and Jada Pinkett-Smith were getting it on. Once again the gossip folks were wrong.

Carmelo Anthony traded to the Knicks

Lil' Wayne Jay-Z Beef

I personally still feel as if this entire battle was just a great marketing scheme created by Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z. As I stated many times already, we will be hearing another "Mr. Carter" or "Hello Brooklyn" in the future. I don't have much to say about this because I feel as if they played with hip hop fans. Hip Hop fans and insiders have tried to start a fire between the two in the past and both didn't play into so how odd was it for them to do so during the release of Tha Carter IV and Watch The Throne.

Hmmm. #Pineapples bitch! I am totally uneasy about this beef. I am all for keeping the beef on wax but someone needs to at least get punched in the face to let me know its real.

How could this not be on the top 10 list? Carmelo being born in Brooklyn and Lala being born and raised in Brooklyn only made this story so much better. We all know the New York Knicks needed some serious star power and who better to bring but Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo and Lala move to NY was almost like crowning royalty. The thing I didn't like was how they tried to keep everyone in suspense but Jazzy F. is no fool. I knew from the very start that Melo was coming home to NYC. The best part of it all was we got to see it unfold on "Lala's Full Court Life" reality show on VH1.

Will & Jada Pinkett Smith Divorce Rumors

Amber Rose Claims Nude Photos Were Leaked

One of the most dramatic break up rumors in history if you ask me. Let me find out Will and Jada have become the blueprint for black love. As soon as this rumor hit the blogs, black people everywhere were going insane. I mean some Black people had given up on love. The Twitter and Facebook status updates were hilarious. You had people really saying, well since Will and Jada couldn't make it, then there is no hope for black love. The gotcha gotcha was when the couple's rep shot the rumors down and Will and Jada popped up the next day out shopping holding hands signing autographs and laughing at the media.

Amber Rose claims she doesn't want attention from the media but she is always doing something to warrant the attention. This summer Amber Rose's nude photos hit the net about 700 times. Ok I'm amping things up a bit but you get what I'm saying. The internet was in a frenzy when Amber Rose's nude photos hit the blogs showing her pleasuring herself. She blamed it on an assistant from her past who she claims were responsible for leaking the photos. However, no one believed her. This was a clear case of we don't believe you, you need more people. Why is that? Because not long after more nude photos leaked. I personally believe Amber leaked the photos again just so that we may believe it was someone else. I still say she did it.

Ray-J & Fabolous Fight

Lil' Wayne's Jeggins

Now being that my alter ego and name is created after this man I can't go in too much. Ha! who the hell am I kidding, I'm Jazzy F. Baby. So Lil' Wayne decides to take his I'm a rockstar persona a bit too far. When Lil' Wayne hit the stage rocking a pair of zebra jeggins, I didn't know what to say. I mean he was wearing jeggins with vans sneakers! Just totally not hip hop if you ask me. However Weezy's entire image is set on doing what he wants to do no matter what anyone says. The best part of Lil' Wayne doing what he wants from Kissing Baby in the mouth to wearing skin tight jeggins is, guys all around the world still want to be just like him.

What a random battle this was.

I mean who saw this one coming? I woke up the foolery just like everyone else did. Ray J and Fabolous gets into a fight at the Floyd Mayweather Boxing event Ray-J decides to go on The Breakfast Club and share the details about the fight that made this situation beyond hilarious. There seem to be so many details about the fight. How 50 Cent got blamed for instigating the fight and some how Ray-J got the name little red riding hood because of his red hoodie. Oh and what was even more random, they said Ray-J was wearing slippers.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Divorce

Beyonce Announces Pregnancy @ VMA's

How could this not be #1 considering that the entire world wanted Beyonce to get knocked up by her husband Jay-Z. When Bey showed up on the red carpet doing her best I'm already 9 months pregnant act, all I could say was about time. The best part of it all was, this was going on during the Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z beef. Lil' Wayne album drop the same week and Bey and Jay just came through and stole the entire show from Weezy.

1

Lets get serious now. We all knew this was a just another one of Kim K's schemes to keep her name in the media and expand her already fat pockets even more. Kris came out of left field and as so many pointed out, just didn't fit the description of what Kim usually dates. Then again she has dated several different type of guys. Raise your hand if you knew this marriage was a total set up. Oh is that everybody? Ok case closed. Thanks for keeping us entertained Kim K. I have grown to love Kim Kardashian. At first I was a bit against her but you have to love her for making herself a icon after a sex-tape release. This woman makes millions of dollars for being sexy as hell and leaves her house everyday looking so fresh you would think she was wrapped in plastic while she sleeps. I say get that money Kim! 8

Overcoming the Odds Now that you’re on the road to recovery, what are you passionate about? Currently my passion is to help women in abuse situations get out!

……..Months of verbal and physical abuse came to a head last January when Tony Wilson confronted his (then) girlfriend, and tried forcing her to have sex. When she resisted, “He threw me, threw me across the room. And immediately, I could not feel from my neck down and I said, you broke my neck.” She was confined to a wheelchair, struggling to regain strength in her arms and legs.

Doctors told her that she would be a complete quadriplegic and that she’d never walk again. “I told the doctors I am going to walk!” Less then a year later, she’s skipping away on the road to making her dreams come true. What sounds like a storyline from a Lifetime Channel 8pm special about life, triumphs and survival is actually the unbelievable story of Teresa Mckenzie. At first glance, Teresa aka Mema might seem like your typical urban eye candy Model. Gorgeous face, thick waist, thick thighs and a colossal backside. But underneath all that body, lays a woman nothing short of amazing.

What is your goal? What statement are you trying to make with your life? To be an example of hope for people without hope. I want to help out young women and show that nothing is impossible. I want them to learn the signs of an abusive relationship and how to find the strength to leave. When you meet that person, they don’t say, hey, I’m an abuser, I’m going to beat you.

They’re nice. But they'll go from pushing you to hitting you with their fist. I want to teach other women how to “Rep Themselves” and love themselves.

What can we look forward to in your modeling career?

I have a website coming out, as well as a calendar. Make sure to add me on facebook (Teresa MeMa Johnson McKenzie) and follow me on twitter (@1MemaLicious) for all the updates.

Who is Mema compared to Teresa? Teresa is the nurse.

She’s very conscious of others and very caring. Mema, she’s the wild child. She doesn't care what others think about anything. She does what she wants and make no apologies for it. (laughs)

Anyone you’d like to thank? Any shout outs? First I want to thank God, who truly without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. I’d like to also thank my sister who was a blessing for me in my times of needs. And I want to send a shout out to my manager Jenery Colon of Soundproof Ent

What has being in such a tragic situation taught you about life in general? It taught me two things really.

First, I’ve had been able not only to work as a nurse, caring for others and then I was able to see what it is that I do from a patient’s perspective. The second thing I was able to learn was, anything and everything is possible!

While going thru your physical therapy, what was the first thing you wanted to do when you were able to walk again? It’s going to sound strange to say but……...to wear heels again. Can’t wait til I'm able to put on a pair of 6 inch heels again!

NaChel Smith Aka

Brown Shuga “Sweet, misunderstood and need to be kept at room temperature.

To describe me in a few words is difficult because you can't even know me within a few of anything.

I am Me, shy, reserved, and at times out spoken.

Don’t eat off my plate if yours is full.

Live, Laugh, and Love” Sincerely yours “

When did you first realize you really wanted to do music? What made you realize that?

I was in the church choir since I could remember so I always loved singing. Rapping I did for fun I remember riding the bus home from school and BIG “mo money mo problems” came on and I always took off on his part. In all seriousness, I actually realized I had the talent of rapping when my brother Flame put me on his song. He was like “you found your niche, you should practice and stick to it.” Was skeptical at first then grew to love it.

What is the number one esson you've learned so far concerning the music industry? The music industry is not to be played with.

Be knowledgeable the less you know the more you will be taken advantage of; especially for a female.

How would you describe your music? Hmm.. Anywhere from pop, R&B, HipHop, and even a little bit of techno. I'm universal put me on a track and ill make it happen. My music is fun, real, and shows the different sides of me.

What are some of the emotions your music draw out of its listeners? It can range from heartfelt, hurt, to IDGAF emotions but all in all I would say "keep it real" emotions. I've always wanted to make music people could relate to. It feels good when you receive messages saying this song is so relatable because im going through it right now.

Aside from being an artist, any other goals and endeavors you're pursuing Aside from being an artists I've taken up modeling and hosting.

What's you ultimate goal with your music career? My ultimate goal in my music career is to perform in front of a sold out crowd. When I go to concerts that are sold out, I sometime don't even pay attention to the performers but I'm admiring the fans and how supportive and dedicated they are to the artist. That's my HIGH. Why Brown Shuga as a stage name? How did that come about?

Brown Shuga was a name developed in High school biology class with my classmate. He was like “we need to make up a name for you if you doing the music thing.” I was like “well, I'm a sweet girl so how about Sugar but I don't want to be crystal sugar I want to be brown sugar.”

So we came up with the spelling "Shuga" at that time I was like “I love it haven't heard anyone with that name!” (laughs) Now Google it and see how many you find.

13

People sometimes ask are you a dancer and I'm like oh hell na! its time for a change (not that I have anything against dancers). So I am in the midst of changing it.

What's the biggest misconception about the music industry?

A misconception in the industry I feel is, they think females can’t hold it down like the males do. The industry is dominated by males, its seems the men are the bread winners woman are wives also applies in the industry also. The female’s job is expected to be sex symbols and that's it. We aren't respected as a boss but a females whose doing her "thing" at that moment. Yes, I can be a sex symbol but I have more to me than that hence my reason for being here!

*Dedicated to my Hun'y buns and Shuga cubes*

What makes you stand out as an artist?

Appearance wise- My bo-leggs (which results in my stank walk) lol Personality- I may look stuck up to a pair of normal eyes but when you get to know me I'm a cool chick, I'm chill.

Talent- you never know how Im going to come on a track!

Describe your fan..

My fans are great. They always show me support whether its a new picture I post to a performance I did. They aren't too good to say what's up.

What are your top 5 musical influences?

Wow!! lets see if I even have that many... (not in order) Chris brown- Laugh if you want to!

He went from here (-) to here (_)

and with all hoping and praying his career would deteriorate he came back and reached the height of his music career. He proved that no matter how much people wish bad upon you its up to you whether you prove it to be true.

Mary J. Blige and I probably have more but I cant think of them right now What can we look forward to in the next year or two?

Only time can tell....

Is being a female in the industry different the your male counterparts? how so?

Yes, being a female is different, becauuussse (added letters intended) when a male first meets you its sometimes lusts off rip! His excuse to start a conversation 14

with you is your interest in music, now you have to separate the lustful thiinking with business in order for it to be real and half the time its not, they just want to chit chat about things that is not of my interest.

When a male approaches a male it has to be about business other than that well.... So I surround myself with people who are about that life and dont have time or money to waste because I sure dont.

Where can we get more info on your work and listen to your music?

STEADY AKTIN UP

16

On a Hygher level When did you first realize you really wanted to do music? What made you realize that? I realized that I wanted to do music at a young age I’d say 14. My uncle Michael Monteiro was in a group(the islanders) and would practice at my house all the time. So I was always around it, and I started writing and practiced day in and day out until I felt it was good enough to record.(4 years later) then people started telling me I was getting better and “better so stick to it” and now I'm part of a squad called "Hygher Level".

What is the number one lesson you've learned so far concerning the music industry? IT AINT EASY!!!! U have to be consistent and never let your guard down. You cant believe everything you hear.

Hard work and dedication will/does pay off in the long run. You meet up with alot of people you cant trust trying to eat off of your talents. Stay humble but at the same time smart.

How would you describe your music? I describe my music as more of a layed back East coast vibe since I'm originally from South Side New Bedford Mass. beats sort of like Dj Premier and Alchemist , kind of gritty underground hip hop feel. And def have a unique voice. I try to be more lyrical and make people think but at the same time get right to the point.

What are some of the emotions your music draw out of its listeners?

Most of my music is real life situations that I've been through, so I try to paint a picture in your mind as if you were there with me. So when people hit me up about my music say man I've been there. or they tell me I have a style like Jadakiss,(one of the best rappers ever) and keep doing what you doing and don't switch up your music. Keep to the real underground hip hop style. My 1st mixtape is going to be called "Steady Aktin Up" hosted by Dj. Showtime and if you know me as a person its the perfect name. The mixtape is pretty much me talking about what I've been through, what I'm going through now, and what's the future holds.. Hygher Level

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MUSIC!!! BUT BEING IN FRONT OF A CROWD AND THEM ROCKIN WITH YOU IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. Aside from being an artist, any other goals and endeavors you're pursuing? Would LOVE to learn to produce music. And the goal is to get RICH

17

What's you ultimate goal with your music career? To be and established known rapper. To have my name on the side of big names such as Nas & Jay. And for Steady and the rest of Hygher Level be household names!!!!

Why "Steady" as my stage name? Well it was giving to me by a good friend Melvin Adames aka Verbal Assault which is one of my beatmakers and the reason is I was Steady Smoking while we did any studio session so it stuck with me and now 10 years later im steady to everybody What's the biggest misconception about the music industry? That it can happen over night.(nah) It takes hard work and dedication If you were'nt making music, what other career would you be pursuing?

Probably cooking, been doing it for years What makes you stand out as an artist? MY VOICE,LYRICS What are your top 5 musical influences? My uncle Michael Monteiro, Biggie , Big L, Jadakiss, Big Pun Describe your “fan” ANYBODY can be a fan.. I got young kids that like it and i have older people who also compliment my music. Hopefully a lot of FEMALES too.. Lol What can we look forward to in the next year or two?

My mixtape "STEADY AKTIN UP" the "HYGHER LEVEL" mixtape and for us to be rockin stages all over the place..

Reflecting on 2011

@OmgitsWicks

Reflecting on 2011

Sho Zoe aka Wesley Wonder “My 2011 was better than 2010, I learned how to expand and branch out in other areas rather than just being an artist.

In 2012 my goal is to produce 10 big records from 10 different artist” If there was an award for Comeback of the Year, hands down that would be handed to Sho Zoe, “Your Favorite Zoe’s Favorite Zoe” took a little time off in 2010 after years of dominating the South Florida music game and came back in full force in 2011. This time around, he’s been working on his skills behind the music since having conquered the game behind the mic.

With 2011 came the introduction of “Sho Zoe the Producer” and “Sho Zoe the Business man”. With his new publishing company Hollar Dollar, Sho launched his producing career creating hits for some of his hometown’s hottest artists. 2011 also marks the year of his hottest single to date, “Grinding”, with a hard hitting beat and motivational

lyrics, this single is the theme song to every one who’s working hard at making their dreams happen.

While we sit back, excited to see where he takes these new ventures in 2012, Sho Zoe is currently enjoying the success of his 2011 “Purple World” mixtape dropped on November 11th.

Sho Zoe has many surprises up his sleeves for the new year.

Including launching his Publishing company “Hollar Dollar”, A new

19

Album “Wesley In Wonderland”, and a new name “Wesley Wonder”. Why the new name? “It fits me better with where I am now in my career. I’m no longer looking at music as an artist. I ‘ve paid my dues with that. I’m ready for stadium performances, and also to be taken serious as a business man.”

A triple threat, Entrepreneur/ Producer/Artist, Wesley Wonder will undoubtedly be mr 2012 and will forever remain on our “Artists to Watch” list.

Kaspa Tha Wicked

The New Face of The South.

21

“I just need them to know that KASPA THA WICKED aka MR. LOT'S A DOE, MR. SRT, THE NEW FACE OF THA SOUTH is here! “ How does Kaspa the artist differs from Kaspa the person?

There isn't much difference between my Artist side and myself.

Aside from being a good father to my daughter, everything else u hear in my music is in direct alignment with who I am and how I maneuver in these streets my whole life.

they know what they want.

On the flip side if u can find someone that understand this world and are not threatened by the fact that their relationship is going to be tested over and over and she is still willing to stand behind her man no matter what than y'all could be successful.

How do you balance your life outside of music?

What are the biggest misconceptions regarding the music industry try??

Thinking that you are going to be filthy rich or become a STAR overnight! lol One thing about this music hustle is you can put in long hours, invest a lot of money into your project for several years, build a buzz, get a deal and realize that you are still not in the financial position you thought you was going to be in especially if you have the wrong people around you. You have to do this music because you LOVE it, not because you chasing a CHECK because the money is the last to come.

I live this music shit, there is almost no separation of the two in my day to day activities. Everything I have been doing at this point is in some way shape or fashion revolving around my music. I just purchased a studio building AKA the "Team Wicked Head Quarters" so you know in dead serious about this.

The music industry lifestyle is a tough one to accept in a relationship, do you see yourself being able to balance and maintain both eventually?

To me the key to being an Entertainer and being able to be in a relationship is simply to find the right woman. A lot of women will tell you that they just couldn't be in a relationship with an Entertainer because of the time they spend away from home and the fact that they are involved in an industry that is filled with temptation and lustful women and I respect those women because

How does life in the streets compare/differ to the music industry?

It has some similarities but the streets is the streets! At the end of the day although some things in entertainment may remind you of street shit it is still a "legitimate" business world and the situations that arise have to be handled in a "business" fashion and not with 22

Guns or Violence like we would in the STREETS. There are no Paperwork or Contracts in the streets, if there's a contract its usually on someone's life. If you a street nigga and you want to be involved in music, learn about the music business or keep people around you that knows the ins and outs and you should be fine.

We've all been loving LOTS A DOE, but tell us, what has been your favorite song that you've made? Tell us about the song....

LOT'S A DOE is my lead single, that was the follow up to my introduction record which is called "GET LOOSE Feat. LIL BOOSIE". I just released a new single entitled "DO IT" featuring an artist by the name of JIMMY DADE who is very praised and developing a major buzz at the moment. That joint is currently demolishing the clubs right about now, but they're all my babies! lol. I think I fall in love with the experiences and events that comes with creating each song versus the Songs themselves. Its always a storyline or event that took place that inspires me to go in on a specific record, and that also plays a part on who i choose to collaborate with or feature on a song too. Everything is a calculated or strategic move for me, it has to make sense!

Speaking of LOTS A DOE, we know you've established a LOTS A DOE SATURDAYS, tell us about that venture..

Its only the right thing to do... with the success of the record and me being MR. LOT'S A DOE and all! lol... One thing about Team Wicked which is my click, we always looking to expand and branch out with not only my music but business opportunities as a whole. Pursuing your dreams can be costly so we look to capitalize and generate income in other ways while continuing to promote the music and our brand. LOTS A DOE SATURDAYS is an event that we put on every saturday at Club Angels, a Strip club in the North Miami area which is my hood. We get together every saturday and promote our music, we have performances with local artist that's buzzing, we raffle off gifts and sex toys for the ladies, the HOOD STARS come out and enjoy the beautiful ladies that's working hard on that pole and show them LOVE. Big shot out to Hunger, Gumby, Chaos, Jean Greezy, Crystal, Trish, Big Rick, Dj P-Nut, Nate, and Serge. Those are all my people who work together to make those nights possible.

You're taking a separate route then most artists, what is your inspiration behind these moves?

I always been my own Boss! Even when i was on the block i didn't believe in hustling for somebody else and if i did it was just for a

“Team Wicked we do for self because we all we got!�

limited time, once i got on my feet i took off and never looked back. I apply the same principles to my music career, I'm not waiting on anyone to make a move. We welcome major record labels but thats the least of my concerns, Team Wicked we do for self because we all we got 23

Who would your dream collab be? and Why? 2Pac, if i could bring him back. I just feel like he was so ahead of his time and also misunderstood a lot which is something i can relate too.

www.KaspaThaWicked.com

“I'm just getting started so keep me locked in and on your radar cause you don't wanna miss this Blue Ray Movie that's bout to go down!!!!�

You are definitely one artist to watch, give us a quick rundown of 2011, what has this year brought you?

I feel like I found myself this year.

I've always been KASPA THA WICKED but 2011 gave birth to "MR. LOT'S A DOE!!!" The best thing about this year for me is that I solidified a spot for myself in the game, my peers are starting to recognize and mention me in the runnings with other up and coming artists in my city. Most importantly I proved to myself that i can do this and be successful at it. I know the critics and haters must be biting their tongues right about now.

Just know that I'm fueled, motivated and 2012 is going to be Epic!

Would you say you've got the game figured out? Why or Why not?

Not at all, there is no direct blueprint to the music business. All i can do is keep putting out good music out of LOVE for the craft and not the MONEY. Continue to build my fan base and my brand, stay innovative and fresh with ideas, keep faith in my team and leave the rest to GOD. I see you've launched the Team Wicked movement...what's the idea behind that movement? and How could someone join the team?

TEAM WICKED is my Click, my Crew, my Family. It consists of the few people who I've mentioned earlier, that is the machine behind KASPA THA WICKED. 24

Collectively we make all the decisions, call the shots, and execute the plays that have brought me the success that I have seen so far. We eat, sleep, grind, and play hard together. You can follow us on twitter: @TeamWicked_ . Most importantly if you are a fan of me and my music you are automatically an honorary member of Team Wicked.

Without the support of fans and followers I would be irrelevant. I love creating music but it would be meaningless if it couldn't bring joy and entertainment to others besides of myself. I just need them to know that KASPA THA WICKED aka MR. LOT'S A DOE, MR. SRT, THE NEW FACE OF THA SOUTH is here!

I'm just getting started so keep me locked in and on your radar cause you don't wanna miss this Blue Ray Movie that's bout to go down!!!!

Overall, I believe my music expert D.J. Rolle did an awesome job on this list, even tho I personally was looking for ms Bey, Jayz and Some Kanye in the mix...shoot even Ace Hood. But then again, the list can only contain 10. Tell us your thoughts. @FordEntMagazine 28

This year was a fun year for music. This year brought on some new flavor to the game and the seasoned vets stepped it up a notch.

Party guys LMFAO brought the *fist pump* to the radio with Party Rocking and Sexy and I know it, two of my personal favorites on the radio right now.

My favorite hit from Big Sean this year, oddly enough, kicked off right before we rang in 2012.

For days I had Ass Ass Ass Ass Ass stuck in my head! And once Nicki Minaj jumped on the record, its was a done dollar.

Lil Wayne dominated the charts with damned near a song a day! Our own local Clearchannel station had a Weezy Monday where all it played was Lil Wayne songs..Now you know you got HITSSSS when a radio station can play your ish all damn day.

This year also brought us Emotional-Drake. I don't know who hurt that negro feelings but I’m loving the fact that you need a bucket of ice cream and box of tissues soon as you pick up a drake mix.

Sometimes a good cry can do you some good.

Keeping Your Purse Organized and The Must-haves In Your Purse Daily Keeping Your purse organized is the least of your



worries sometimes, but when you get down to trying to find your keys or that great lipstick you just purchased at Saphora, it can get very frustrating.

Here are some great tips along with the Must Haves in your purse.

First and foremost, dump your bag out so you can see for yourself what you are hoarding in that purse. I’m a mom of 2, a 5year old little girl who likes to draw me pictures on her way to school, so I end up with everything from the drawings, crayons, princess lip glosses, and stickers. I also have a toddler who is 15 months, so depending on where I need to be in a New York minute, then you will find a couple of diapers, some wipes and a couple of snacks. I have learned now to “prepare” my bags ahead of time to avoid the last minute jams. I have a bag for each of my kids with the things they need and my bag belongs to ME! Being OCD of cleanliness and clutter, I just had to take back the control of my purse. I got small “dump” bags NOT FOR DUMPING. Each I prefer to have specifics in the dump bags and some things just placed in the purse.

   

Make up bag: what you used on your face daily: mascara, eyeliner, chap stick, lip gloss/lip stick, foundation, moisturizer, concealer, face powder, bronzer, blush, your brushes, eyeshadow compact…

My wallet: your debt cards, credit cards, ID’s, etc..

My change: change for the toll maybe a few bucks to spare.

Hand sanitizer wipes, tissue, lotion…

Cell phone, cell phone charger, keys…Etc.

Use a grocery bag or small trash bag at hand when you dump your bag out so you can immediately throw away the trash, try doing this a couple times a week to avoid appearing a Hoarding episode: The Purse Edition.

Now that we got the tips out of the way, we can move into the new goodies you can add because in my book, these are must haves!

Bath and Body Works PocketBac holder comes in many different colors and you just insert your fave mini hand sanitizer into it, clip to your purse and go!
