What's In My Bag?

I decided it would be fun to do the "What's In My Bag" post. I always find it interesting and enjoy sneaking a peek at what everyone else is carrying in their purse. Sometimes, I'm inspired to to try a new product or add something to my wish list. 

I have a bit of a purse obsession. About once a month I switch bags. My purse starts to get cluttered and needs a cleaning and that's when I reorganize my belongings in its next home. With the new month just beginning, you're catching me at my neatest...no wrappers from protein bars or piles of receipts. Lucky you. : P

The purse I'm currently using is from a local designer, Jenna Kator. When I met her, I fell in love with the colors and designs. I then learned that her handbags are made with cruelty free materials. Soooo of course I had to buy two bags from her. 😊  

Tied around a strap is my Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF) Andy Warhol silk scarf which I absolutely love. <3

I carry lots of lipsticks and chapsticks. Usually a variety of colors.
Mac Lipsticks are my favorite kind and so I always carry at least one with me. I recently bought this NYX gold lipgloss at Ulta and I really like it. It gives a nice shimmer and can be applied quickly. 

I have cat eyes which means my eyes will change colors. They go from blue to green to grey. I started using eyeliner colors other than black and I really love the pop of color it brings. Always have to carry a more traditional color as well!

I try to buy products that are natural and cruelty free and Hurraw lip balm is my go to chapstick. You will literally find me going to American Apparel to buy chapstick and a scrunchie. I also occasionally use EOS which is in my bag right now as well.

I wear my sunglasses all the time. Whether it is sunny, 8pm, or winter and snowing, I bring a pair with me. These are my most recent buy and I spent a lot of time picking them out. I love that they are heart shaped and that they reflect! 

My phone is usually in my hand....but it does find it's way into my bag sometimes. I'm obsessed with phone cases and if you're wondering where I got the bear case from....Five Below! It's lasted me almost a year which I was quite surprised about.

For those of you wondering what this spray bottle is...it's Thieves Oil. I'm very much into essential oils and homeopathic remedies and Thieves helps with the immune system and the respiratory system.
Rescue Remedy is another natural product.

I carry one or two books with me at a time, because I generally am reading multiple books at once. Today, I am reading the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. So far I really like it. Has anyone read it?

I also carry a journal with me. This one is my daily journal/diary, but I sometimes carry a sketchbook of sorts or a manifestation journal.

Snacks come in handy! You never know when you'll need something to munch on. You will almost always find a Belvita in my purse.

Accessories are a big one for me! I LOVE headbands and you'll usually find loose jewelry at the bottom of my purse. Right now I have a lace floral headband and my favorite Lululemon activewear headband. I also have a scrunchie from American Apparel. 

I never leave the house without a pair of headphones. Music is an integral part of who I am. Right now you'll find me listening to a lot of Stevie Nicks and Miranda Lambert....My musical taste is eclectic!  

What are a few of your handbag necessities? I would love to hear from you!

Until next time!
