I lalaLove various types of bags, the more
unique the better....guess that makes me a bag lady, huh. The funny thing is no
matter how much I put inside, it tends to get over-loaded and weighed down. Like
many women, we switch our bags quite often and I want to share my latest find.
This Isaac Mizrahi cutie that I picked up at Marshalls, the right size
& fit that can be utilize for any purpose.
The black patent leather with gold zippers and
name plate on the outside, was the sleek look I was searching for. Looking inside the bag, I noticed the cute pink polka dots and four deep pockets-
two on each side. Making it the great on-the-go makeup/hair or traveling bag. I
may start off using it as my purse, either way, here are some essential items I
normally carry… of course it varies depending on the size and occasion.
It’s a must that I have gum on deck- and yes I am a popper, but mindful
while I’m out standing next to someone. At times, I attend long events and in the mist of
conversations, the sweetest, coolest people could scorch your nose hairs clean
out of your nose… maybe eyebrows and lashes too, lol. I wouldn’t want my breath
to be associated with hot garbage either, so being prepared is much easier on
both parties.
My lips feel bare if I don’t have Chapstick or gloss to keep them
moisturized, so that's always a plus. Touching countless objects, handles and whatnots require plenty
hand sanitizer and lotion, a definite staple. I spruce up my perfume by having a
travel-sized roll-on or mini-sized bottle of my favorite scent.
With a million and one things going on- like many of us- jotting down a
to-do lists, content to write, etc. the old fashion way with a notepad and a couple
of pens equal satisfaction. It’s not fun having year-around allergies, but my albuterol
inhaler and non-drowsy allergy medicine is crucial for my occasional asthma
flare-ups & unexpected reactions. I’m also prepared to stop headaches right
in its tracks whenever they start to come around.
Am I the only one who still carries around a ‘Tip Guide’ card? It’s
quicker for me to pull it out than to type the info in my phone. My set of keys have way-too-many-reward cards on them, only a few are in heavy rotation.
Oh yeah more gum; can’t get enough, lol. My
little blue pouch contains first aid items…..you never know what minor
emergency you’ll encounter while out. I guess it’s the ‘prepared-mom’ in me.
Again, these are my normal items but other times I may have a music device, mini-notepad, tablet, vitamins, makeup, snacks, etc. Grab my phone, keys and decide
which pair of sunglasses to sport for the day and I am out the door, ready to
tackle the world.
What are some of your go-to essential items? Have a great one. xoxo
