What’s In My Bag? Everyday Edition

Welcome to my blog! I’m excited to kick things off with my very first post. As a way of introducing myself, I thought it would be fun to share a “What’s In My Bag? Everyday Edition” post.

My Current Bag: Charlotte Elizabeth Bloomsbury Crossbody Handbag

My current bag is the Charlotte Elizabeth Bloomsbury Crossbody Handbag, which I’ve reviewed here. This small-to-medium bag fits all my daily essentials perfectly, making it ideal for this “What’s In My Bag? Everyday Edition.”

Here’s the contents of my bag:

1. Phone: I have the Google Pixel 8 Pro that I got in December. It’s got a long battery life and takes great photos.
2. Small Wallet: I carry in my Furla Camelia S Compact Wallet cash and cards. It’s got a croco-effect leather exterior, a zippered coin purse, 10 card slots and a snap closure. I have thought about changing into a card holder , but I just carry too many coins at the moment.
3. Dress Up Your Purse Dream Collection Lambskin Leather Key Pouch (now sold out, but there are other types of key pouches in different colours and leathers available instead): I keep pocket tissues here, especially for sneezing episodes.
4. Commuter pass: I use this to access the public transport network in my city.
5. Inside my Dress Up Your Purse Togo Leather Mini Envelope in Navy (part of the Dress Up Your Purse Togo Leather Envelope Trio Clutch Set)):
   • Extra gum – Dental upkeep after meals.
   • Cool Mint Listerine PocketPaks – A quick breath freshener.
   • Paracetamol for myself and my husband.
6. Inside my Dress Up Your Purse Togo Leather Medium Envelope in Grey (part of the same clutch set)):
   • Pusheen notepad and pen – For taking quick notes on the go, although I usually take notes on my phone.
   • Wedding favour bag hook.
   • Two spare hair ties for my long hair.
   • Il Bisonte Key Case pouch, which contains:
     • Cygnett power bank – An absolute must for going out.
     • Type C USB cable.
7. Zippered Mesh Storage Bag from Temu:
   • KAHI Seoul Wrinkle Bounce Moisturising Stick – For my forehead and neck.
   • KAHI Seoul Kisstin Balm Pink – For blush and lip moisture.
   • Dettol Hand Sanitiser – Essential for avoiding germs.
   • The Body Shop Mango Hand Cream – Keeps my hands moisturised with a subtle mango fragrance.
   • Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen – Non-greasy and no white cast, perfect for high UV exposure.
   • 3CE Plumping Lips – I love tinted lip balm, and this one in pink is my go-to.
   • The SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer – In light beige, perfect for quick coverage.
   • Disposable set of cotton pad, cotton buds and nail filer.
8. Primary Key Holder: For my house keys, I use the Royce Leather Coin Purse and Key Holder, which I’ve reviewed here.
9. Secondary Key Holder: I use the Il Bisonte Key Case for my parents’ house.
10. Zippered Pink Bear Coin Purse from Temu (now sold out):
    • Sony WF-C700N Earbuds – Perfect for public transport commutes and watching YouTube videos.
    • Phone screen wiper from Temu in the shape of a macaroon – For the occasional fingerprints and other kind of messes that end up on my phone screen.
11. Cinnamoroll mirror from Temu – For those little touch ups, and checking for food between the teeth.
12. Cinnamoroll brush from Temu – To tame my hair.

These essentials fit perfectly in my favorite small bag, making it both practical and stylish.
