What's In My Bag? - A Gimpse into a Girl's Soul
As seen on Youtube, Tik Tok, and the occasional Instagram photodump- the discussion of “What’s in my bag” has become increasingly popular with today’s generation. Investigating what an individual chooses to bring with them on the daily serves as an exceptionally personal glimpse into the mind and soul. Is your bag an elegant mess or carefully organized? Full to the brim or minimalist? Quite honestly, piecing together the contents of the black hole, better known as our day-to-day bag, is an artform.
Whether it be a backpack, Birkin, or coin wallet- what you choose to carry with you may be the key to defining who you are. Today, I am going to share with you what I carry in my bag: Let’s break it down…
1) The perfect lippie
To put it simply, I am a lip-balm hoarder. I have tried every lippie from Rhode, to Laneige, to Dior. The search for the perfect lip product has taken me almost 18 years. Finding a lippie with the right tint, scent, consistency, and packaging has been a challenge. Summer Friday’s has it all.
The Summer Friday’s cherry lip butter balm is essential to my bag.
2) A fun pair of sunnies
Sunglasses are another crucial element in my bag. Wearing a chic pair of sunnies can elevate any look. My all time favorite pair retail at around $15 on Amazon. By the brand SOJOS, these sunnies are perfect to throw into any bag.
3) The ABC’s of Self Love by Melody Godfred
“A simple guide to loving yourself, reclaiming your worth, and changing your life.”
Self love has been something I have been working on my whole life. Finding the time to check in with yourself is an important practice I enjoy, but it can be difficult sometimes. I’ve had trouble with journaling on blank paper, so “The ABC’s of Self Love” is the perfect compromise. This interactive book provides prompts for reflection, graphics, and enlightening blurbs of text all about finding your worth. I keep this book with me everyday and journal when I have downtime.
4) Claw Clips, always
Of course, I have to have a claw clip with me at all times. Unlike hair ties, claw clips leave minimal creasing and are one of the best ways to create a quick and easy updo. My personal favorite is from the brand Emi Jay.
5) Lime packets
As an avid diet coke lover, true lime packets are a need. Diet coke with a hint of lime is truly my drink of choice. These lime packets are perfect to shove in my bag and sprinkle in my drink when I don't have the time to squeeze the real thing. On Amazon, True Lime packets come in a variety of different flavors.
4) Owala FreeSip- the best water bottle today
Ditch the stanley, Owala FreeSip is my newest water bottle obsession. I love the Owala because of its functionality. Owala FreeSip has a sipping straw, gulping hole, carrying attachment, and it never leaks. An Owala water bottle is a perfect addition to your bag.
