My two favorite things that I have purchased so far this year are my Owala water bottle and my Baggu purse! I bought the Medium Nylon Crescent Bag after searching forever on TikTok for the perfect purse and it has not disappointed me. It is the perfect size to fit whatever you need and doesn’t get in the way. I bring it everywhere because it is so cute and comfortable. It also has an adjustable strap and it is thick enough to not fall off even if you have to run, which I have tested!
On the strap itself I have a hair clip hooked on for whenever it is needed or if I forget a hair tie. It has saved me from the windy and extremely hot days in College Station. Opening it up, there are two pockets so let’s start with the first side. I like to call it my makeup section which includes my absolute holy grail item that I will never be without, Aquaphor. I am an Aquaphor lover and the lip balm is a definite must need. Then my Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Powder, which is the perfect light coverage powder that covers any oil or shine without being too heavy. Then the rest is filled with lip products which are the NYX butter gloss in Tiramisu, NYX lip liner in Natural, and the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fussy (my favorite non-sticky lip gloss). Those three can go with any outfit or look since they are natural but have a pop of sparkle to it from the glosses. The other pocket is where I place my car keys, wallet, and any safety weapons that I always have for my own protection.
The main space holds a variety of things based on the day such as sunscreen (which is very important!), a camera, my journal, and even a book (which fits easily). A small pouch holds more necessities such as a travel size bottle of Advil, Extra gum in the flavor peppermint for the spice, Altoids smalls, feminine hygiene products, and a travel size perfume. My current scent is Gucci Bloom (I received it on my birthday and it was the perfect gift, so if you need ideas for what to ask for in a gift, this perfume a great choice).
My final items include a small comb, travel size hand lotion, a spoolie for baby hairs, a pen, compact mirror, and a pen. Sunglasses are also always a must that complete the outfit. These are things I will feel incomplete with if I am out and about and do not have them with me. They have saved me so many times and I will continue to buy more Baggu bags.
