Most women carry a compact mirror, in their purse, to be able to check their appearance while they are out and about.  You sure don’t want to go on a job interview and not realize that you had that little spec of spinach, from lunch, still in your teeth.  If you need to refresh your lipstick, you will certainly need a mirror.

One of the many features of a Sharon Barber transformable purse is the built-in impact resistant mirror on the purse base.  There is no need to carry other mirrors in your purse because the mirror is always there.  Just open the wrap flap, pull it up and take a peek.  Making life simpler is what it is all about.  Minimize and have more time to have fun.

It is highly possible that the first female president will be from the baby-boomer generation.  Hopefully she will be elected based on her abilities, that she is the best choice and not just because she is a female.  A token female would have negative consequences for all women.

The importance of women having equal rights and opportunities as men can not be underestimated.  Who will be the first Woman to be elected as President of the United States of America?

There are at least four types of purse hooks available today. The order is based on patent file dates.

The original L style type with a circular pad and a rigid bent wire.

The link type with circular pad and a set links that either wrap around the pad or make a “hook”

A spring closing bracelet type

A twisting ring type

The practical uses for a purse hook are obvious and every effort should be used to keep the bottom of your purse clean.  For those times that it is impossible to prevent laying your purse down, such as airport security bins, keep individual sanitizer packets (not a bottle) with you at all times.

All types of puzzles are good for learning. When you think of puzzles, you probably think only of the zigsaw puzzle that comes in a box with 500 or more pieces. This is only one type of puzzle. There are many puzzles to choose from like, crossword or seek-n-find, Sudoku puzzles and even reading puzzles. Today there are Dummy books on almost every topic, including how to design and create your own puzzles. These include math puzzles, reading puzzles, language arts puzzles, music puzzles, and many more.

Puzzles can teach your child hand-eye coordination and help to develop their memory. They will also help them learn to solve more complex problems.

There are toys that transform to create a different toy. These puzzles are usually more complex, but they are still puzzles. There is even a transformable puzzle purse for little girls as shown here.  Playing while learning is always best.

One of the easiest ways to mix it up and personalize your Sharon Barber purse is to replace the Sharon Barber interchangeable logo clip with one of your very own clip earrings or with a modified brooch / pin.  You may have some of your grandmothers’ brooches, that you don’t even wear.  They can add a stylish and personal touch to your look.

The featured photo, in this blog, is of a SB Women Brendi, dressed in basic black , minus the logo clip, with a brooch modified for a Sharon Barber purse customer.  This particular brooch would be gorgeous with endless other colors and textures from velvet to tapestry.  Make your own style.  Inquire about details for your broach / pin to a clip modification here.

You wonder where you left your keys.  You wonder where you left your purse.  You wonder where you left your money.

Sometimes, we can be forgetful when we have a lot on our minds. One of the things that’s easy to forget is to bring your cell phone with you as you dash out the door. Maybe this doesn’t happen to you often, but it is frustrating to forget your cell phone as you leave the house for the day and then realize it isn’t in your purse.

Use this handy tip:  When you plug your phone in to charge, put your keys by the phone.

It may take a few times for you to remember that you put your keys by your cell phone, which might drive you crazy at first. But when you remember the (phone and keys) association, you will be happy you used this handy trick.

Bessie Nesmith invented Liquid Paper in 1951.  She was an artist and worked as a secretary in Texas, USA, before the time of word processors.  Bessie developed and used a paper colored tempura water based paint to correct her typed errors.  It was originally called “Mistake Out”.  She began selling her popular invention on her own and eventually ran the very successful Liquid Paper company.  It was sold to Gillette, in 1980, for 48 million dollars just a few months before she died.

Just a little side note that baby boomers may not be aware of, but her son, Michael Nesmith was thirteen years old when Bessie invented Liquid Paper.  Michael Nesmith was a member of the rock group called the Monkees.

As stated in the Womentorz® home page feature:   “Sharon loves purses, but changing the contents from purse to purse was such a hassle. Always in a hurry, she usually didn’t move everything when she changed purses. There would be bits and pieces of “stuff” left in all of them. There were 10 pens in there somewhere, but she had to dig and dig to find 1. Sound familiar?”

“After MANY experiments, she carried her first prototype out into “the world” in 2001, and received compliments the first day. That was on appearance alone. As she continued to carry it people were curious and began to ask how it worked. They were amazed at the functionality and features.”
