Have you ever been in a public bathroom, you get ready to wash your hands and you find that there is NO soap?  Or paper towels?  This happens to me more than it should in my opinion.

I always keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse, because hello, thrift store and yard sale freak here.  But, I don’t want to count on that to kill any of the germs I come into contact with.  I want to WASH my hands for pity’s sake!  And be able to dry them, too.

Here’s my tip:

I reused one of my small hand sanitizer bottles and filled it with hand soap.  Then I wrapped it with a handkerchief and tucked it into my purse.  It’s small, doesn’t take up much room and now I can actually wash and DRY my hands no matter where I end up.

And yes.  I know I could probably buy a small bottle of hand soap to keep in my purse, but I  already had this tiny hand sanitizer bottle that was empty and I am big believer in using what you have.
