The "baggage fee" for a purse over 5 pounds? Back Pain!
"So many women I know are weighed down by carrying basically their whole lives in their purses. I'm constantly telling them they must lighten their load! Here are some fast tips to make it easy: When purse shopping, choose a bag that feels featherlight in your hand before you put anything in it. I like an adjustable strap, because you don't want your bag hanging too long, which puts pressure on your back muscles. And don't let one side do all the work--alternate carrying it on your left and right shoulder." --Erickson
