Here’s what makes the cut that I must have in my bag at all times...
1. My planner. I am a scatter brain without it! This one was a gift from my mom last Christmas, and I never go anywhere without it - Filofax Osterley, found here.
2. Snacks. You never know when you’re going to be stuck somewhere or a meeting goes long. I love Larabars and Kind bars - enough protein and all natural ingredients.
3. Sunnies. These are and old pair, Halston, which I can’t seem to find anywhere.
4. Dry Shampoo - This brand is the best and found at most drugstores! With the summer humidity, I find myself doing a quick spritz with this daily.
5. Out of all beauty products, I’m most likely to splurge on mascara. This is Kat Von D’s for Sephora. I experiment a lot with mascara’s and this one is definitely one of my favorites.
6. Chanel bronzer - this comes in handy when a girlfriend texts me last minute for happy hour. I feel like I always look like I need a little glow.
7. Lipgloss and chapstick. I love this Stila one (not too much color, but a nice shine).
8. My wallet (which needs to be decluttered itself!), from Lodis. Another gift from my mom, but I like the size and texture of it.
What do you ALWAYS have in your bag?



I always have my wallet, chapstick, phone, brush, lotion...sometimes lipstick, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteYay for Chanel bronzer...I love that too :)

Ahhhh, the seasonal bag change out and cleaning. It's amazing what you can find crammed in your bag, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the Psssst dry shampoo smells like. I've tried dry shampoos in the past, and liked the way they made my hair look, but the smell was always too strong for me.
Also, what a cool name, I mean Pssst?!! I'm gonna personally ask a drugstore employee to help me find it because I just think that is hilarious!! I imagine it going something like this:
Me: Hi where is your Psssst?
Drugstore employee: Huh????
This is gonna be good. lol!
haha, i know, right?! It looks a bit ghetto, but it’s amazing, i swear. And, I actually really like the smell of it!
DeleteI'm gonna give it a try. I'll let you know how I like it :)
DeleteFirst of all it's sounds like our purses are very similar....well, before you cleaned yours out! ;) I love the fringe bag and Stila lip glazes are a must! I have heard the ones from e.l.f. are awesome and only cost $1 at Target. Love those sunnies! ;)

You had me laughing at the bronzer, aint it the truth. Homegirls love to decide to do happy hour last minute and I am stuck with "sat at a computer for 9 hours" face.

Erin! hahaha so funny ... Me too. I usually close up shop once I get that “happy hour?” text. Sign me up, I’m done with whatever I’m doing.
DeleteLOve your blog! So true that bronzers come in hand when someone texts you lastminute LOL!!

Great post idea! Don't even talk to me about smooshed gum... ugh! I'm always the girl with chewing gum, but my poor bag does not appreciate it! I have to have lip balm and a little mirror... and my phone of course :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Your purses before de-cluttering sounds like mine: receipts, candy wrappers...
ReplyDeleteI used to carry a lot of things in mine --even a mini first aid kit. Needless to say, it got pretty hefty.
Me too - that’s why i have the random band aid in there... haha. It just got too heavy!
DeleteForget about what's in your bag... I LOVE your bag :) ha!

ha! Thank you! ... I should have taken a better picture.
DeleteI wish I could say I have mascara and bronzer to freshen up but I don't! And I really should! I do always have a bag of tea- usually green tea of cinnamon tea. I always have my sunnies and camera too!
ReplyDeleteHannah Tattoos and Pearls
TEA! That’s such a good one! You’ve inspired me to add another item :)
DeleteLove these posts. So interesting to see what's inside someones bag.

I LOVE lara bars!!
ReplyDeleteI always keep makeup remover wipes in my bag - they are the best for summer for when "waterproof" mascara suddenly starts melting off in the heat!
Geez... I carry no beauty products on my bag... What a mess! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI always have tons of receipts in my bag too, haha. I should really clean that thing out more... Yours is too cute! x
ReplyDeletethat bag is fun. like others i also have so many receipts ha! woops. i carry hand salve a wallet a camera, phone, bible and keys...make a snack or too as well ;)
ReplyDeleteFun read. I have my red LANCEL french wallet I bought in Paris years ago. Always some type of chap stick,currently a Burt's Bees lip shimmer in raisin and an Aveda lip saver spf 15.With a 100 degree temps. I keep my small green glass bottle of Aveda Toning mist.Refreshing! My Aveda paddle brush and always a packet of Puff tissues.Last but not least several writing pens and my trusty little pink Day runner to keep me organized.Oh,my absolute favorite hand cream,Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula,,a great value from my trusty CVS store..Small bag of unsalted almonds too:-)
ReplyDeleteFunny girls that you have just heard of Psssst dry shampoo.
ReplyDeleteIt came out in the late 60's early 70's. I used it all through high school
in the early 70's.
Great fun to see they still sell it. It was a favorite of mine and I might buy a can just for ole time sake:-)
