What’s in Karli’s Purse?

Karli loves to watch YouTube just as much as she does making videos. It was so cute when she came to me and said, “Let’s make a what’s in our purses video!” I was going to make one along with her, but my purse is extremely boring. Other than a bunch of receipts and chapstick, you won’t find much in my purse. I’m not one to carry around makeup or anything like that. Karli had just got a new purse and here she is sharing the contents :)
