I have a bit of dislike towards tag videos and posts that come mainly from the world of Youtube, because we have already seen it all. But, there is one tag I am very fascinated in, and that is the “What’s in my bag!”
I find it so interesting to see what people, women mostly, carry with them daily. It’s like an intimate look into a persons life, via random, more and less useful items. And now you get to look into mine! I already mentioned doing this yesterday, when I touched on the subject of preparations and a survival kit of sorts that I carry with me.
I got my backpack straps fixed the day before yesterday because they were giving out, and I emptied the bag to my floor before that. This is the real mess that was inside it, nothing censored.
I'm cleaning this up as I go. The polaroid camera stays home most of the time, so out it goes, in comes the Nikon and Sigma 18-35mm. I can fit in the other lens too, barely, but I usually choose one lens for the day and stick with it. See the Tamron lens cap? Never owned a Tamron, but dad found the cap from the ground and I keep it as a spare for the Sigma one. I have a polarising filter hanging in the bag too but haven't yet used it. I have two power banks in now because I just bought a bigger one, a 10 000 mAh, for travel purposes, definitely don't need both in here. Receipts, extra coins, and the spoon can go away too. One of three gum packs can stay home too...
Left Pocket: electronics; spare power and battery, charger cables, headphones.
Back Pocket: Cash, coupons for movies/theatre/culture stuff, my "business card", wipes. Funny fact, I never carry a wallet, I have cash in pockets and all the plastic money and drivers license in my phone case.
Center: The big stuff, camera, sunnies, which I hardly ever use, THE emergency kit (see next pic for details), pens, cash always laying on the bottom of the bag, and then what ever additions I need for the day, like a water bottle etc.
Right Pocket: the girl stuff; dry shampoo, powder, bobby pins, hair ties, a tampon and lipgloss/lipstick, usually there is a lip balm, but they are all in jacket pockets atm. There is also bubble gum and a spoon, if I want to buy a yogurt or ice-cream on the go, it happens you know. Oh and a lighter, sometimes cigarettes too, but I don't smoke on the regular.
Most of that is probably very self explanatory. Some girls stuff, a pair of panties, bandaids, more bubble gum and cash, contact lenses. The pink vibrator looking thing is actually a travel perfume case, it has Tom Ford Black Orchid in it, smells mysterious and dark. Eye drops so I can knock someone out, or to use on my dry eyes. A condom, which I was surprised to notice isn't expired yet! No sex life here. A measuring tape for you know, obvious purposes, and if I need to tie someone up.
A stack of various baby wipe type of things, super useful! Spill something, or feel icky after a plane ride? Baby wipes save the day and make you feel so much fresher. Without a doubt, one of the most important things in this set.
Do you like my dealer tin? I got it from my uncle who used to work in a casino, dealer has something to do with poker, but I thought it would be funny to put some basic painkillers and allergy medicine in it. The tin next it has a sewing kit, safety pins, heel tabs and one earring(?) Another fun fact, I don't wear earrings.
In the two pictures above is pretty much the basic set I have with me, if I leave home for more than a grocery store run. I change it up depending on what I do and what time of the year it is. For example, heading to UK soon, that is why there is a adapter plug thingy, and on the winter time I might have in reusable hand warmers (they are magical) and in the summertime I might throw in a bikini. Usually I carry some little snacks too, like flavoured water, little smoothie and a chocolate bar. This all might look like a lot of stuff but the only big and heavy thing is my camera.
