Many people tell me that I have a Mary Poppins bag, and it is bottomless. My bag is one of my most prized possessions, mainly because it is filled with everything I own, and I wanted to take you through my necessities that I always have on hand.Â
1. The Essentials (the things I actually need).
– WalletÂ
– KeysÂ
– PhoneÂ
– AirPods – I can never go somewhere without constantly having something blasting in my ears.Â
2. The Necessity Pouch.
These are the products in my mini pouch that I have deemed necessary. I switch purses all the time, and most of these things come with me from purse to purse, and even if nothing else comes with me, this pouch absolutely will.Â
– Extra contactsÂ
– FlossÂ
– Mini toothbrushesÂ
– Cotton swabsÂ
– Cough dropÂ
– BandaidsÂ
– TissuesÂ
– Stain removerÂ
– Hand sanitizerÂ
3. The Beauty Bag.
I don’t know why I think that I need four different lip products and a million different products in one afternoon, but you know, just in case it’s always better to be prepared for a beauty touchup.Â
– SunscreenÂ
– Mini perfume
– BlushÂ
– Four different lip productsÂ
– Lip linerÂ
– PowderÂ
– Mini deodorantÂ
– Nail FileÂ
– Compact mirrorÂ
– MintsÂ
4. The Randoms.
These are the random products that don’t really have a category and are most definitely not a necessity, but I convince myself that they are.Â
– A portable fan (a necessity in this heat)Â
– Reusable baggy tote bag ( I always end up carrying more than I can hold, so I’ve found having an extra bag at all times can help with that)Â
– Pens (in case I absolutely need to start writing)Â
– A mini journalÂ
– Digital camera (so I can take pictures of anything and everything)Â
– SunglassesÂ
Every morning, I tell myself that I do not need to bring all of these items every single time, but every night, I seem to add one more item to make my bag even heavier. I like to believe my purse reflects my personality: a little extra, a little chaotic, but always prepared. So if you see me leaning to one side while I’m walking, don’t worry, it’s just my bag.
