What’s in my bag?

I thought it would be cool (and maybe fun) to share about the things that I always carry in my bag. I am not a notorious over-packer, in actual fact; I am a sling bag girl. I don’t like big and heavy bags; my life is not that exciting. This is what you will find in my everyday bag:

Tissue: I roll out tissue every time I leave the house. Sometimes I don’t use it but I still roll out the next day, leaving my bag with stacks of tissue. If only it were stacks of cash.

Note book and pencil: I do get ideas ruminating in my mind MOST times and I am a very forgetful person so its always wise for me to have a note pad and pencil nearby. I could just type it in the note app in my phone but paper slaps different. NB: I love pencils more than pens; for whatever reason. I digress: I usually get ideas in the oddest or weirdest moments. Like I could be walking to work or in the kombi, bathing even when an idea for a blog post pops up or whatever.

Rings: I am a sucker for fashion rings and I have the fingers for them if I do say so myself. I find it weird to put on fashion rings at work (but I do it sometimes because TEMPTATION is real) so I put them in my bag. They stay in my bag anyway.

Lipstick/lip balm: or Vaseline in a vicks tin! I prefer Vaseline anyway because applying lipstick on lipstick that’s cracked on the lips is uncanny. And sis can’t afford (YET) to spend her likkle salary on those power stay lipsticks that apparently stay on for 12 or more hours.

Shades: I love shades, always have them in my bag but I hardly put them on; only for pictures. I can never walk around in shades.

Sweets and chewing gums: For fresh breath and energy. There are times when I get hungry (I am always hungry), odd times and I can’t eat yet, a sweet does the trick…energy booster. A hungry man is an angry man.

Purse: with broke bank cards and a few bond notes. I leave my national identity card at home because I fear losing it and I dread waking up at 4a.m to go queue at the registrar’s office. I only carry a laminated photocopy. Sh*t, I just realised that my purses are useless.

Sanitary wear: better safe than sorry.

Earphones: This. I can never leave the house without.

A copy(ies) of my book: this is one of the greatest marketing traditions, better to talk about something that you have on you, right? Also, I come across people who ask where they can find the book, well the book is here!!!

There you have it, these are contents you will find in my bag, a depressing sight for thieves I’m sure. What are the must-have items in your bag and cannot leave the house without? Drop a comment a below.
