Great Quote About Blogging

“There’s something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else’s site. It’s like visiting a friend’s house for a quick meal ’round the breakfast table. It’s personal — you’re in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting.” 
– Trent Walton

What's in My Bag!


I've seen this on other blogs and I think it's fun. I also have a behind the scenes book from the first Twilight movie and they did this with the director's bag. I change my bags enough that I'd like to make this a monthly topic !


This is everything a carry around with me on a daily basis and trust me I need and use all of it. My bag is a knock off Coach. A friend of mine has some real ones but gave me this, cause I was getting bag envy. It's a pretty convincing replica if I do say so myself. I know there's all kinds of "Bad Ju Ju" associated with knock off purses but, it's a purse, and it was given to me. Don't hate or judge.

Contents:
  • Orbit white bubble mint. Gotta love the "Fresh, Clean Feeling" when brushing isn't possible.
  • Walmart glasses cleaner, for annoying smudges.
  • Physicians Formula foundation powder, love it! (I'm allergic to most cover up stuff)
  • Bath and body works "vampire blood" antibacterial hand gel, and Anti-stress lotion. I am a closet vampire nut, my sister bought me a couple of tubes of the hand gel for me around Halloween I'm on tube 3! The anti stress lotion is pretty self explanatory.
  • Lady Speed Stick for freshening up in a pinch.
  • Bath and Body Works Paris body spray also for freshening up!
  • My Goody Comb and Conair anti-static Brush. NEVER leave home without a brush I'm very crazy about my hair.
  • My makeup! Eye shadows and Liners mostly, there is chapstick in that bag somewheres too!
  • I have three Vera Bradley baggys in my purse. My green print change purse, my "Purple Punch" electronics bag (headphones, Ipod and misc. cords), and my "Floral Nightingale" wristlet/wallet. That last one is amazing it's even got a compartment for my bulky Blackberry.
  • Keys: I have a big ring of Keys for emergencies: Gram's house, basement, yadda yadda. My regular Keys on a little Vera Bradley Lanyard : Car, Front, and screen doors.
  • My magnetic pass card for work. My dad got me the snazzy blue clip, elastic, yo yo thingy.
  • My Moleskine tablet
  • Pens: Dr. Grip, and two snazzy pens from my stay at the Ritz Carlton in the Grand Cayman Islands.
  • My striped baggy for embarrassing girl products. I won that at my sister's baby shower.
  • My little pink unicorn nail clipper. I picked that baby up at a gas station when I was in desperate need of clippers!
  • My little 50's looking pocket sewing kit. I really dig the mini scissors inside.
  • My cell phone charger. Dang cell phones die at the strangest times.
  • Hand crocheted drink cozy made by my sister. That's for all those stops at Starbucks.
  • Lastly my trusty point and shoot Kodak Easyshare digital camera and lime green Logitech case.
A lot of people pick up my purse and are like "OOF! What do you got in there?!". Lots of random things end up in there at times, but my purse is my life line. If I'm ever stuck somewhere I can definitely manage with all this junk. Having the wristlet makes a big difference as well it allows me to downsize with a moment's notice. Enjoy!
