The contents of one's bag reveal so much about a person. I can't necessarily claim I can't live without these items. This is the topic for Day 9 of 30 Day Blogging Challenge by @tegoshei. Having moved to the Philippines, I found myself carrying these items all the time.
I am a Minimalist. Majority of my wardrobe is either plain black or plain white. My t-shirts don't have any prints on them, unless it's a travel souvenir or a french nautical stripe. So it is no surprise that I will be carrying a plain black bag that is large enough to accommodate stuff that a Mom-on-the-go needs. This is a simple inexpensive bag that I bought for myself as a Christmas present last year.
Essential Personal Care (From Left to Right); a lip balm, my favorite BB Cream, Ethyl Alcohol a must- have nowadays, Dental Floss and a Black Waterproof Pascara. There is usually a bag of tissues and wet wipes but I ran out of them.
A metric tape, a mobile phone and coin purse / wallet. My metric tape makes my bag heavy, but it has always been a habit to have it.
My Journal helps me unburden and clear my mind. It is teeming with To-do lists. This is heavy and it's the thickest diary I have ever had. If I had to do long errands in the city, you will find this in my bag. It's dead weight, however. Thus, I end up leaving this behind when it isn't necessary.
A mini scale ruler that I had since college is usually found in my bag as well.
If you live in the Philippines , a Black Pen is used everywhere from signing government forms, immigration entry slips and a lot of paperwork.
Et voila! What about you? What's in your bag?
