While I change bags regularly, what's inside is pretty constant. Here are the standard items in my bag. My wallet, of course, I used to carry big bulky wallets. I decided to downsize last year to this thin Coach wallet. It only has 4 card slots and designed for bills only, which means I need to carry a coin purse (it's a freebie from a cosmetics company) that's the dark blue piece with silver lining underneath my medicine pack. The med pack I can't leave without because I get allergy attacks so Claritin is a must, more a necessity. And since I am also allergic to most painkillers I can rely on Biogesic only for aches and pains, their tagline the world's safest pain reliever certainly works for me. Aside from the coin purse, I also bring with me a cardholder where I keep all other cards - rewards, membership shopping, discount cards, etc. The cards have certainly greatly multiplied in the last five (5) years and if you keep them in your main wallet you will end up with a portfolio rather than a wallet. That's the black leather under my wallet. It's a freebie from one reinsurance company. It's actually my husband's but I confiscated it. It comes with a small and thin mechanical pencil, definitely handy. Even with an inconspicuous pencil, I still do carry a sign pen with me, a Cross Ion pen, which is a birthday gift from our CEO.
So what else do I have in my bag? A hand sanitizer and a pack of facial tissues always come in handy, and so do a pack of mints. People, who personally know me, know that I have never drank a hot cup of coffee but I always try to have after coffee mints in my bag. Just good to have them ready for whatever emergencies.
Other essentials I have with me would be my personal phone (a Sony Ericsson); office phone (a Nokia); and Ipod touch (with its earphones), which is also my pedometer and contains my grocery list; a calling card holder, partly hidden under the camera; a yellow polka dot flashlight from our CFO; not to sound holier than thou but I do have rosary beads with me, which was given to me by an aunt-in-law; and since my eyesight has constantly deteriorated, eyeglasses are a staple in my purse.
Other items I have inside my satchel are a make-up kit, which is more a grooming kit, as I don't really wear too much make-up, (what's inside my kikay kit could be another post); and a Sony Cybershot which comes in handy as I put together materials for this blog and documenting everyday moments with family and friends.
Oh and since I live here in the Philippines, especially with this El Nino phenomenon, I do carry with me the old fashioned but trusted abanico, which my mother-in-law gave me. I do find it handy because even in some indoor spaces with air conditioning, the ACs are no match for the Manila heat.
So your turn. What's inside your bag?
