Q&A: What's In Your Bag?

It’s been a few months since I’ve answered a good old Q. I figured while we all get back into the swing of things in life and work, I’d answer a question I got a while back. What’s in your bag felt a little weird at the time because the answer was a whole lotta nothing - since I wasn’t really going anywhere for a bit. But now that things have come back around and I’ve ventured out a little more, why not? This time we are gonna get a little personal and examine what I carry with me in my handbag. This question is kinda open-ended since the contents change whether you’re talking about my gym bag, my work bag, or even my lunch bag so I thought why not go with the most…interesting (or boring) of the available options?

If you’d like to ask me a question, ask away.

Airpods

I love listening to music or podcasts in a variety of different places. I don’t often have the time to sit still and listen so on the go is the way to be! Sorry, cord loyalists.

SHOP

Black Face Masks

There is always some kind of debate about what face masks are the best, but these are the ones I use most frequently (sometimes under my cloth mask). I always have a spare in my purse just in case I might have forgotten running out the door!

SHOP

Lip Gloss

Having some kind of lip color is crucial. Saie’s Really Great Gloss is my go-to and I think I own every shade at this point. It plumps my lips, stays for a long time, and looks great. Plus it’s clean!

SHOP

Emergency Kit

I always have a pouch in any of my bags I have dubbed the Emergency Kit. It contains everything from hair ties to bobby pins and eye drops to pain reliever - and even bandaids. You never know how long you’ll be out or what you may need from time to time.

SHOP

CBD Roller

Everyone can use a little calm in their day so that is why I always keep a CBD roller in my bag. Sometimes I use the calming one and others the energizing one. It depends on where I’m going or what I’m doing during my day.

SHOP

A Sweet Snack

I always have a sweet snack on me. Sometimes it’s a Chewy granola bar, sometimes a protein bar, but most times it will be Sour Patch Kids or M&Ms. Who doesn’t love a good pick me up during the day?

SHOP

A Claw Clip

Sure my trusty emergency kit has hair ties, but sometimes you just need a humble claw clip! Perfect for when I need to just toss my hair up quickly and it doesn’t cause damage like a hair tie.

SHOP

Hand Sanitizer

This is a real no-brainer. Hand sanitizer is a must no matter what kind. The spray or wipes are my personal favorite because they don’t dry out my hands or ruin my manicure as quickly as the gel kinds do.

SHOP

Card Holder

I’m just not a big wallet person. Sorry, Mom! I really only like carrying just what I need instead of all the other stuff. I’m pretty sure I’m never going to remember that one gift card with God knows what on it is even in my wallet let alone remember to use it! Plus it keeps me from collecting insane amounts of receipts…not that they don’t collect in my bag instead, haha.

SHOP

Sunglasses

I do live in the Valley of the Sun after all. You just can’t go anywhere most days without sunglasses and why would you want to? Protect those babies with some nice shades.

SHOP

Perfume Rollerball

Perfume rollerballs are a Godsend. They mean I can change up my scent on the fly and I will always be ready to smell great no matter where I’m going. Many rollerballs or travel perfumes are refillable today which makes them even better options and I don’t have to worry about anything breaking or leaking.

SHOP

Vegan Care Balm

I am obsessed with this vegan care balm. It makes my lips soft and hydrated. It repairs them when they feel cracked or irritated. I’m just so obsessed I keep one right by my bed, one in my bag, and one in my bathroom. It’s much better than any chapstick or lip balm I’ve ever used!
