I Like Big Bags and I Cannot Lie: A Peek into What’s in My Bag Right Now

Do you ever go searching for something on Instagram, and then fall down the rabbit hole, for…oh, I don’t know…WAY too long? I try not to let it happen. But let’s face it, sometimes, it’s unavoidable.

Case and point, the #whatsinmybag hashtag. I am so fascinated by what people carry around with them in their purses.

So, I thought I would join the party! I partnered with my friends at Tic Tac to share all of the things that I (honestly) have in my big, giant bag right now. I even included the things that I probably shouldn’t have in my purse, but do. If it was in there, it was fair game.

The only thing I didn’t include? Receipts. As in piles and piles of receipts that are always, ALWAYS, in my bag. Why do I hold onto to all of these?!

Jeff bought me this Clare V. bag for my birthday earlier this year and I love it. Do you remember me talking about it on Insta?

It’s pretty large, so I can fit tons of stuff inside. Some necessities, some luxuries, and some absolutely random items (like that yellow velvet ribbon and lilac purple yarn).

My little llama keychain… I actually just recently found my DIY ‘party animal’ ornament in a random box of supplies, so I removed the string and added a keychain loop. Viola. Llama keychain.

I’m always forgetting where I last put this ring or that necklace. So, I keep some of my favorite jewelry pieces in my bag. That way, I always have them with me.

I like to keep a handful of items in my bag to keep me entertained. Just in case I’m stuck in a long line at the post office or find myself out to lunch alone.

So, I keep a notebook with me (I DIYed this one) and a pen, my phone, and a book. I just bought #Girlboss a couple of days ago, so I’m a little late for this train. But oh well.

I also keep Tic Tacs in my bag as a little snack / candy / breath freshener. Freshmints and Spearmint are my fave flavors…Jeff likes the orange ones. So, usually I have those too, for him.

I usually carry a handful of beauty products too. Nail polish, dry shampoo (Is that normal to carry around in your purse?), hair ties, powder, lotion, my favorite lipstick, and mascara. And don’t forget the other random accessories…like scarves and polka dot hankies.

What’s in your bag right now? Better yet, what’s the most random item you have in your bag right now?

Don’t be shy. I want to know.
