Nobody but me is ever allowed in my handbag and I always have certain things in it. What’s in yours?
Intentional: pack of tissues, lip balm, tampons, pen, packet of oatcakes, Loop earbuds, headphones, purse, keys, hair ties
Unintentional: old receipts, old tissues, oatcake crumbs
Occasional: notebook, book to read, shopping bag
Always?
No keys: we don’t lock our home, and since we share a car the key lives in a drawer.
No wallet: I forget it at home several times a year.
No make-up: I never wear any.
Random scraps of paper with illegible notes it is, then.
Hairbrush, zipper wallet with cards and a little bit of cash for emergencies, a small bottle of perfume (Victoria’s Secret Coconut Passion, my partner got it as a gift in 2013 and never used it lol), phone cable and sometimes a battery bank, pack of travel tissues, a pill bottle with 2 days of my ADHD meds in case I forgot to take them, a few cotton buds for if my eyeliner transfers to the lower lid, a few cotton pads for cleaning up any cakey looking makeup or runs from being too warm, tinted lip balm, lip gloss, a reusable shopping bag, a travel umbrella, and the apartment keys.
Might need a Bag of Holding tbh.
A year or so ago I bought a nice handbag that came with a smaller removable bag on the inside that I keep everything in. It sure makes changing bags easier since every handbag I own can accommodate that smaller bag 🤣
Forgot to mention that inside the wallet there is also a few doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen for headaches as well as cetirizine for allergies. My partner loves the fact that I have her covered in case of emergency ☺️
Other than the obvious stuff to get around with, I always keep a colored lip balm, small mirror, spare toothpicks, hair ties, hand sanitizer, ear buds, and a pen. :)
In a bigger bag, I’ll throw in a hat, sunglasses, and a tote bag for grocery shopping.
Since I’m on a motorbike most of the time I use a backpack, which in and of itself has proved useful!
Inside I’ve got … Work ID Old leather purse I bought second hand about 15 years ago Antihistamines Ibuprofen Mini hairbrush Mini nailclippers A reliable pen Hand sanisizer House keys 1 individually wrapped maxi-pad (useful for various emergencies aside from the obvious) 1 pair of disposable earplugs (for when riding the motorbike) And the most recent addition is reading glasses :-(
It’s funny, here in Spain there’s lots of women who use motorbikes and scooters as their main transportation so I’ve never thought of it as impressive!
I’ve had motorbikes since I was little, I was fascinated by them much to my mothers disappointment.
Have you ever thought about riding one?
I’m disabled so it’s not worth it for me. When I see one parked up I quite often look at it obviously though.
