What’s In My Bag

July 24, 2012

I have seen so many fun posts from bloggers about what’s in their handbags that I decided to do one as well! Hope you enjoy!

1. Orange Handbag from Handbag Heaven

2. Coach Wallet

3. Floral Print Umbrella

4. Paris Compact Mirror

5. Orly Cotton Candy Polish

6. YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm- Cool Guava, Salley Hansen Lip Inflation Xtreme Gloss,  Nivea Pearl Shine

7. Harrods Bag (used as Lipstick Case)

8. Benefit “Benetint” Rose-Tinted  Lip & Cheek Stain

9. Hair Accessories (Bow Bobby Pin, Floral Clip)

10. Victoria’s Secret “Sexy Little Things” Body Mist

11. Polka Dot Planner & Lipstick Pen

12. Reading Material: Robert Frost Poetry

I bought this wallet because I knew it would match a lot of purses and I love buying new bags, but don’t like changing out wallets all the time. It goes with colors and neutral bags.

An umbrella just because you never know! It never fails to rain when I go on lunch break.

For touching up lipstick during the day.

Nail polish touch ups are a must… I keep whatever color I have on my nails/toes in my purse. A fragrance mist is perfect to freshen up over lunch or after work for a night out.  Benetint was a sample I got from Sephora and I will never go without it again.  You know those long days at work with multiple meetings when you started the day with a bright cheery face and by the end of the day you look exhausted and white as a ghost? This cheek and lip stain takes seconds to apply and gives you a fresh, lively look, even after a long day!

When I saw this cute little pink Harrods bag at the Harrods souvenir shop, I knew it would be the perfect size to fit my lipstick and lip balm. And so it was! Before my lipstick would get lost at the bottom of my purse, now it is all in one place in an easy-to-find pink bag.

I like having a variety of lipsticks, etc. available. I usually use lipstick, but some days all I want is a nice balm and Nivea Pearl Shine gives the perfect amount of shine to my lips and Salley Hansen lip gloss feels really invigorating on your lips and looks fantastic! This YSL lipstick is also perfect and smells delicious!

Sometimes your hair just doesn’t make it throughout the day… a cute hair clip or head band can add a lot and distract from my crazy hair days or get that piece of hair out of my face that’s been driving me crazy.

I HAVE to have my planner and if you have been following me for awhile, you have probably already seen this lipstick pen.  It was something I bought when updating my office space with a red and purple theme.  It is cute and makes me happy! The funny thing about my planner is that I never used one in college, I tried but couldn’t do it. Now I rely on it!

Whether it is my latest fashion magazine or some good poetry, I always try to have some reading material in my purse for lunch breaks, car trips, etc.  You never know when you might have a break to read or flip through a magazine! Right now, Robert Frost’s poetry is doing the trick!

      Oh mine gets that way too, I try to clean it out once a week so it stays organized, but I usually have to go through multiple receipts to find anything in my purse by the end of the week!

      Hahaha, nice! I guess I usually do have bandages in my purse as well, but I ran out 🙁 I guess this is my “first aid kit” for putting myself together after a long day at work or a long morning at work!

    I love this idea! I find it so fun to hear what others keep in their purses – usually it’s all the favorite products, so it gives me good ideas for my shopping list. Those hair pins are so beautiful!

    Every time I see one of these, I feel like a really big failure to females everywhere. My list would be wallet, phone, keys, done. Kinda pathetic, huh?

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ love you with all I am 💕💕💕#valentinesday2020 #myhusband #myvalentine
