What's in my bag

[elusivek]

I saw sight's post and thought it interesting (and she said she wanted to see others do this too), so I thought of giving this a go.

I usually carry big bags and have a ton of stuff inside. Since I got this new bag, I've been trying to downsize, but I'm still amazed at the amount of stuff that I don't actually use, ever, that's in my bag... so...

1. This is my new bag. It's a lot smaller than the bags I usually carry. I've been trying to downsize as my shoulder is starting to bother me, and I think it's because of the heavy bags I've been carrying for years... I admit this is just a fraction of what I'd normally have in a larger bag, but even so my bag now is heavy. So with a bigger bag? Heavier.

2. Home keys! I use them every day.

3. Coin bag. As you can see, there is no wallet in this picture. That's because, I have such a large wallet, it doesn't fit in this bag... and I still need coins. AND I firmly believe in always having something childish/ridiculous/funny/interesting on you. Thus that racoon/bear/whatever animal coin purse.

4. Pill box with supplements (that I hardly remember to take)

5. Business card holder. Which doubles to hold my cash notes, my bank card, credit card, and ID card, since I can't carry my wallet in this bag. It doesn't show in the photo, but it's the little Dino from Agnes b sport line. I love that Dino.

6. Tissue

7. The iPhone 4s has my personal number on it. I use it to check my messages as now I mainly work from my work phone, an iPhone 5s (which was used to take this photo). My work phone hardly leaves my hands, not because I'm compulsive checking, but, I have a habit of putting my phones on mute since the day I hold on to them, and my boss hates it when I don't answer calls. That said, I hardly use the iPhone 4s.

8. Minty mints! (which I hardly eat)

9. Kindle 3! (or now known as Kindle Keyboard) which... lately I hardly read... but I'm still carrying it.

10. Make-up pouch, which holds most of the other stuff in here....

11. Hand cream which I hardly use

12. Eye shadow pallette which I hardly use

13. Mirror case which I hardly use

14. - 23. Medicated lip balm that I hardly use, regular lip balm, eyeshadow brush, rouge lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, BB cream, sample-sized perfum bottle, 2 travel-pack-size facewash/make up remover.... all of which I hardly use.....

24. Pantyliner, very much needed for a just in case

25. Pad, similarly very much needed for a just in case. I'm pretty punctual and accurate with my periods but you never know.

I just might do one again when I've switched to my regular bag again so I can see what other more crap I carry around. Did you notice over 90% of the stuff in my bag are things I hardly use?

I've always liked seeing posts like this. There is a community just for this but it's been dead for a long time.

Haha, just doing this once in a while. As for the community, I know maintaining one is very time consuming, so it can't be helped, I suppose...

LOVE IT. :D I also adore your bag~~

[notte0.livejournal.com]

It was fun XD
The bag was cute, I thought it was worth the downsizing :-)

hahaha that's really interesting to see in your bag. I have hardly anything in mine.

1. Sunglasses in case
2. Umbrella
3. Wallet
4. Two phones
5. USB Type C adapter
6. Work Badge
7. Pack of tissues
8. External charger

EDIT: Oh, and two pens.

I don't keep phone chargers on work days as I can charge my phone at work... Thank goodness, those things are heavy!

[changeling72.livejournal.com]

All of those things you could need at any time!

[notte0.livejournal.com]

I know, but still I haven't used most of the things, especially the make up stuff, in the past few months... Or ever even (oops). I don't check my makeup throughout the day and I never fix it after meals as they say, so maybe I'm just carrying dead weight around...

(And the day I don't have them is when I need them)

I looove that bag. We keep so many of the same things - just the bare essentials!

[notte0.livejournal.com]

I try to keep stuff to a minimum and I'm really itching to lose the makeup bag as well, but then I think what if I don't have it, and then I need it?

AAAAND I need to make an entry like this, too!
{I have so much rubbish in my bag, though.}
