Inspired by the lovely Beth from Ginger n’ Roses, I decided to throw everything out of my bag and show you the mysteries inside it. But instead of showing you my usual handbag –which is small and not interesting- I thought I showed you my working bag where the juicy stuff is..

THE ESSENTIALS

• 1 phone
• 1 set of house keys
• 1 wallet
• 1 bottle of wáter
• Hand cream
• A shopping bag

THE EMERGENCY POUCH

• 1 pack of tissues
• A box of plasters –why so many? Who knows.
• 2 tampons
• 2 panty liners
• 2 Hair clips
• A hair band
• Tissues

THE LIPSTICK STASH

• 1 Liposan Lip butter in macadamia & vanilla
• 1 Liposan Fruity Shine Strawberry
• 1 Essence Lipstick in Love Me

I never retouch my make up during the day, so this is the only thing you can find in my bag. In my case, the lip pocket is a bit like the Mary Poppins bag, bottomless. In fact the other day I found a nyx lip liner I thought I lost! Mental.

THE SEASONAL ADDITION

• 1 Umbrella
• A pair of sunglasses

Usually I always wear my sunglasses in my bag just in case. The umbrella has been a must since I arrived to the UK.

THE BLOGGING STUFF

• 1 Notebook
• 1 Blue pen
• 1 Black pen
• 1 Camera
• 1 Battery charger

TRAVEL, CARDS AND RECEIPS

• 2 Tesco receipts
• 1 Lidl receipt
• 1 Belfast map

TOTALLY USELESS ITEMS

• 1 Shopping list (outdated)
• 1 Giffgaff “activate your sim” used card
• 1 Spanish oyster card
• The keys to my work in Spain
• 2 Used tissues
• A ring

*The bag was perfectly tidy before I started working two weeks ago, you can see that I’m quite a mess. Also, if you want a well lived hefty bag you can follow my motto “throw everything in just in case”, it never disappoints. Just thinking of doing this every month so I have a real reason to take off all the rubbish. I’m sure my sore back will thank me.
