Brace yourself, because I’m about to change your life — or at least your getting-ready routine — with this purse organizing hack that’s all over TikTok. My mind is truly blown by how such an easy concept can totally transform your everyday grind.
The hack is called the “purse bowl,” and I have to give credit to the genius who introduced it to the world: @cocotakes. In a TikTok that’s so far received 3.8 million views and more than 387,000 likes, @cocotakes demonstrates that all you need to do to make this hack work for you is the following: Choose a cute and practically sized bowl to place near wherever you pick out your purse in the morning, empty your purse’s contents into the bowl to reset at the end of each day, and pour everything in the bowl into your purse the next morning. It really is that simple!
I don’t know how I never thought of this before, but I cannot wait to start using my own “purse bowl.” I’m never going back to having to fill my bag from scratch every time I use one (at the last minute, usually!), or having to buy multiples of my items for each purse.
The “purse bowl” is actually reminiscent of another social media purse organizing trend: the “purse drawer,” which went viral last spring. It was the same brilliant idea for purse item transfer, but using a drawer, not a purse. I believe the “purse bowl” is the even better option for people who lack extra storage space, like those who live in a small apartment or dorm room.
And the “purse bowl” has taken the internet by storm. For example, TikToker Meeshon Rogers (@meeshonrogers) also took the “purse bowl” for a spin; they highlighted in a TikTok how easy it is to transfer items from the bowl to a purse. It takes seconds!
Rogers captioned her video, “THANK YOU! To the lady that posted about the purse bowl. You’ve changed my life.” And truly it seems like such a basic thing, but I’m SO excited to have a “purse bowl” of my own!
