What’s In My Bag?

Hey peeps.  Yoohoo…I’m still here. 🙂

Today, I bring you a lighthearted and (hopefully) enjoyable post to read, just to start the week ahead with.  Who says Mondays have to be boring?

Hands up those of you who loves to sneak a peek into the bags of other people?

Me?  I’m guilty as charged!!  Hehe…so today’s post is inspired by Tine’s recent post, which I enjoyed reading tremendously.

So back to my bag…well, the one I am currently carrying anyway.  It’s a Coach Gallery Patent Tote in a gorgeous red hue, a Christmas present from hubby.  It was love at first sight when we saw it at the Coach store several months ago.  There were two sizes of this bag, but I chose the slightly smaller one, because I figured the larger one was way too huge for me. Plus I was trying to reduce the stuff I was carrying in my bag anyway.  It is monogrammed, yes, and although I am not one to like carrying monogrammed bags, this one was tastefully done and looked really chic.

Inside my bag:

• A variety of reusable bags: Envirosax and Rume bags.  I use them mostly for grocery shopping each week (yes, I do use ALL of them).
• My Canon point-and-shoot camera.  Yes, I can now use my iPhone for photos on the go, but habit has made me still lug around my trusty p&s.  Plus it’s not all that heavy.  And there’s also that history bit 🙂
• Hand sanitizer in a foaming-pump bottle: an essential item when you’re always out and about with kids in tow.
• Chewing Gum: to exercise face muscles and for fresh breath!
• iPhone
• House keys and car keys
• Green Makeup Bag – one of the free bags from Clinique a long time ago.  It holds the most basic of basic makeup: lipstick, lip balm, mirror and a mini tube of Vaseline lotion for moisturizing my hands on the go.
• Red leather Coach wallet
• (Another) Red Coach wallet (that matches the red bag)
• Black Coupon Organizer
• Packs of tissue: I make it a point to carry at least 2 packs all the time.
• Small black card organizer
• Notebook and a couple of pens
• Training chopsticks holders.  I got these from US and have them in my bag in case my kids need to use them at restaurants.
