What’s In My Bag?

I’ve been loving the resurgence of “what’s in my bag” videos on YouTube and hopefully, if you’re here reading this, you are too!

I can appreciate the art of a “purse bin/tray/box” where someone can store all of their items from day to day that go in their purse and easily transfer between bins. I do have a stash of a few items that are a bit more niche purse products, but for the most part my purse “method” is trifold: 1) multiple-times-a-day pockets 2) everyday pouch 3) less-used-but still-choosing to-tote-around-with-me pouch.

I reevaluate these items regularly, as well as which of the three spots they belong in, so this list is fluid. Below is what is most consistently where.

multiple-times-a-day pockets

• Zipped pocket - wallet, keys (which also includes a scrunchie I attach to them)

• Pocket #1 - everyday lip oil and everyday chapstick

• Pocket #2 - AirPods, hand sanitizer, pen

everyday pouch

• travel deodorant

• travel thigh chafing stick

• listerine spray (or mints or gum)

• cuticle cream (or oil)

• medicine tin with loop ear plugs, Advil, Tylenol, and my Iron meds

less-used-but still-choosing to-tote-around-with-me pouch

• true lemon packets (with more in my lunchbox)

• celcius packets

• tampons

• tide to go pen

• combination hair brush and comb

often in the bag but not every day

• sunscreen

• bug spray

• deck of cards

• journal

• kindle
