Now that you know what I generally use for my handbag let's get to my everyday essentials which live in and on the bags.
1. Personal Filofax Dakota I tried really hard to keep my planner I bought in February this year, but it was not giving me the amount of freedom I needed or space. So I went back to my filo and I am supremely happy I made that choice, although I have been looking at the Erin Condren life planners and everything about them is calling out my name. The layout, the interchangeable covers, the weeks and months. The only thing I think I might have an issue with is the size, it might not fit in the brick is all I'm saying.
2. My bullet journal yes this still going everywhere with me. I'm about 1/2 way through this notebook so I am gonna have to fig out the others from the set.
3. My blog notebook I've been using this notebook as my blogging planner and notes for a good 8 months and I love it. Although I did get a replacement for it as she is almost full. The replacement is an arc junior size notebook and we'll see how that works out in the next couple of weeks.
4. Wallet this was a Christmas present a few of years ago from my aunt Rita who passed a couple years ago. I miss her a lot which is one reason I don't replace this wallet, but it is wearing pretty well don't you think.
5. Pen pouch got as a gift from my boss at my old store. Basically it was give all the bags away or throw them out. But I am getting some good use out of it.
6. Portable cell phone charger/ cord I tend to forget to charge my phone some days and as a result I bought this little puppy before I moved. It has made many a drive and day at work more bare able. And saves me from the dreaded 1% battery life. Now if I could just remember to charge the charger life would be perfect.
7. Business cards self explainitory right. I'm still attempting to get used to the idea of just leaving them where ever and I really should order some more as well. But isn't it a cute case? I got it from Office Depot and I am still in love with how girly it is.
8. Hair ties can never have too many of these, and bobby pins it just depends on the style of my hair that week.
9. Mints I love cinnamon mints. My favorites are the Victoria's Secret ones. But I have gotten them confused with the peppermint ones. But this is my second favorite altoids minis.
10. Nail file this is a new addition as well as an old one. I have a crystal file that stays in my makeup bag but I ended up forgetting that one day and needing a nail file so I picked this little guy up at sephora. I love that it has a carrying case and it won't break in my bag.
11. Lotion/lip balm right now I am using a intensely moisturizing hand cream to help with some stress/allergy induced eczema. And alternating between Carmex and Chapstick moisture for my lip balm.
12. Gum I love Big Red gum but have been having the hardest time finding it, but I have this or winter fresh in here at all times.
13. Floss this might seem very random but it's really not. I can't stand the feeling of something stuck in my teeth it just creeps me out so much. Was that too much information. I don't even know.
So these are the items that always have a place in my handbag, I do have some other items that I rotate out every now and then when I am going somewhere specific and I would need them. But I do believe that would be a post for another day. If you would like a peak into what I bring with me to work or to the gym let me know.
As always luv ya all and have an amazing day.
