What's in my bag?
So today I've decided to make a post about what I carry in my bag, now some things depend on if I was going to work, to dinner, or to a sporting event! I also do admit that everyday either once or twice I go through my purse to clean out receipts or garbage which I'm terrible for crumpling up or just tossing in my bag. Just to keep everything neat and organized.
The Everyday Bag:
Everyone has that one bag, that's reliable and best represents themselves. For myself I had purchased a Kate Spade bag close to 2-3 years ago now and to this day it's still my go to bag. Its a black bag, with gold metal accents, its a structured purse with detachable cross body straps and perfect handles to hold on to if preferred to carry it on your forearm. This bag is very durable and has a classic look to it, to this day I still get compliments about it. This purse can fit a ridiculous amount of things in it for example the following...
I don't actually have a normal wallet, not that I wouldn't get a proper one. I just use a Micheal Kors wristlet, I took off the wrist attachment and use it like a wallet. It has multiple card slots, and extra space for money, business cards, tickets ect.
Stationary Necessities:
Kate Spade Note book - I feel like such an adult when I say to bring a notebook but hey my mom never forgot anything at a grocery store, or missed an errand because of this. Writing things down just gives me a sense of security of what I need to accomplish that day
Planner - Now I have one that combines with a note book but its to big for my purse so I have a smaller planner for important appointments and dates just so I have it written down somewhere for that specific day
Pens - Before I used to carry one I'd have to frantically go through my car to find one, or just hope wherever I was they'd let me borrow or have one to fill out/sign/take note of important things
Tech:
iPhone 7 - Obviously has to go everywhere with me
Headphones - either the apple ear buds so I can pay half attention or if its a long commute I'll use my white solo 2 beats just to zone out and enjoy the ride
iPad - I would bring this if I were going to work and knew I'd have a long break to write out e-mails and check appointments if I didn't have a computer available to use
Chargers - Obvious must, I either bring a portable charger or a wall charger wherever I go
Make up and hygienic musts:
I fill this accordingly to how my day/night/event will be going the following varies...
Make up bag
Lip chap - if its just to work lip chap will do just to keep my lips hydrated I used to work inside a lot and depending what area I was in it'd generally be really cold and dry
Lip Liner/Lipstick - Depending where I'm going that days event/night if I have a dark lip or a nude going I always have to bring the same lipstick just to give myself a fresh coat after a drink or dinner can't be going patchy
Eye Lash glue - I'm a firm believer in fake eyelashes but obviously throughout a days events the glue gives a little, I hate being out and and an eyelash starts to fall out and I'm helpless without the glue.
Liquid Eyeliner - liquid eyeliner just because its so much easier to go over and to take off then to use a gel pot. Plus I can't go wrong with using a fresh coat every now and again!
Perfume - Roller balls I'm obsessed with just because there so practical, and has to be Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb
Kleenex - Sneezing in public its best to keep germs minimal so into a tissue not my arm
Hand Sanitizer - I use this a lot with riding public transport, handling money, or sneezing/coughing in public its best to keep everything clean and germ free
Hand cream- Depending on what season it is, or how much hand washing I do in a day its always nice to have a little something to keep everything hydrated, and prevent cracks from dry hands
Snack & Beverage:
Water bottle- a no-brainer in my eyes, just to take with me for the day one to re-fill so I'm not buying a dozen water bottles in a day
Food- depending on what I'm doing I usually bring a little something. Whether its an apple, bag of nuts, or a cliff bar just to tide myself over until later plans
Gum or mints - I keep these religiously in my bag, I'm an avid coffee drinker and rather not suffer from coffee breathe
I've added links to some of the items that I've talked about, ones that are the exact same or similar due to purchasing mine from previous years. Hope you've enjoyed today's post, and have a lovely rest of your week! xx
