I did a post like this back in 2008, but unfortunately, I lost the image in that post when I moved from Blogger to WordPress. [Read that post here<\/strong><\/a>]. At that time, my bag used to be so heavy that it was hurting my shoulder. These days, it’s not the case, but I thought to still do a post about the contents of my bag. Speaking of bags, I always prefer a bag with more room, even if I don’t fill it up. I’m not the girl who would buy one of those little box clutches that would only fit a lip balm. I prefer big bags.<\/p>\n

A while ago, I called myself being trendy and decided to buy a little clutch. Error! I was so frustrated that I could not fit everything I wanted in the bag. If you read my old post about the contents of my bag, you’d notice that I like carrying a lot. I’m impressed that I don’t have so much this time, although some things have disappeared due to technology. For example, I have no need for an mp3 player, a daily planner, or a notebook because I do all these on my phone now.<\/p>\n

So for now, I intend to buy big clutches and evening bags. All that being said, this is what’s currently in my bag, and the bag in the picture is what I’m currently carrying. I love bags, but if I had to pick one, I’d pick shoes over bags. You most likely wouldn’t wear the same shoe everyday for a week, but I would carry the same bag for a week. Two weeks sef.<\/p>\n

\"What's<\/a>

What’s currently in my bag<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Make up bag:<\/strong> I cannot confirm or deny that this is useful. I guess it is … kind of. It contains three L’Oreal lip glosses, a mirror, some hair bands, a nail cutter, safety pins, and a tweezer. Of the three glosses, I only use the pink one.<\/p>\n

2. Fossil wallet:<\/strong> This wallet is sooo old. I was actually using a newer one just about two weeks ago. But I didn’t like that one, so I literally transferred back to this old one (which I hadn’t used in over two years).<\/p>\n

3. My bag:<\/strong> Love that it’s flat and has those zippers on the side.<\/p>\n

4. Lotion:<\/strong> It’s Vanilla Rum from Bath & Body Works. It’s seasonal. Bought it around Christmas (I bought two and this is the second one). Love the smell.<\/p>\n

5. Flossers:<\/strong> Dentek flossers in a cute handy dandy thingy<\/em> to hold them.<\/p>\n

6. Sunglasses:<\/strong> These sunglasses made it so hard to take this picture! Because they’re mirror lens, I kept seeing my reflection in them, and I was only wearing a t-shirt and underwear! Which kin attempted embarrassment be that?<\/p>\n

7. Lip glosses and lipstick:<\/strong> My lip glosses (the blue one is the Baby Lips from Maybelline, which I blogged about here<\/strong><\/a>), and next to the Baby Lips is one of the Lancome lipsticks I have.<\/p>\n

8. Kleenex tissue:<\/strong> I always like to have tissue handy. It comes in especially handy on Sundays. I always cry in church. \u00a0The Pastor always speaks like God told him something about me.<\/p>\n

9. Hand sanitizer:<\/strong> Vanilla hand sanitizer from Avon.<\/p>\n

10. My cell phone:<\/strong> Badly in need of an upgrade. Waiting for Samsung to come out with the Samsung Galaxy Note IV. It’s gonna have a yellow case. I’ve made up my mind. Yes, I know I don’t even know what the phone will look like, but I have to plan.<\/p>\n

11. Work cell:<\/strong> *yawn*<\/p>\n

12. Highlighter and pens:<\/strong> I write a lot and sometimes I like to highlight what I write. Next to my highlighter is my favorite pen in the world (Pilot G2 pen), and I will buy the boldest version. Next to the Pilot G2 pen is the other<\/em> pen – the one I lend to people. They can keep it if they want, but I won’t share my Pilot! Oh, I also use the other pen to sign checks. My mommy said to never use gel pens on my check.<\/p>\n

13. Keys:<\/strong> Self explanatory.<\/p>\n

14. USB cable:<\/strong> This is for charging my phone. What I need to do is invest in a portable charger cause it’s not like there’s a computer next to me all the time to charge my phone.<\/p>\n

15. Coin purse:<\/strong> Self explanatory.<\/p>\n

16. Lighter:<\/strong> No, I don’s smoke. Some months ago, it was all over the news about a family that went up to some mountain after a huge snow storm. Somehow, their truck overturned (surprise, surprise) and they were trapped, but they were able to make a fire and keep warm. So while I do not EVER plan on going out during a snow storm for the sake of looking at snow, I still carry my lighter.<\/p>\n
