Nobody but me is ever allowed in my handbag and I always have certain things in it. What’s in yours?

    My main bag is an old sling bag with keys, wallet, phone, hair ties, pens (four colour bic, sharpie, and fountain), vape, folded up shopping bag, rolaids, mini tape measure, two crystals, headphones, fisherman’s friends, vape coil, nicotine patch, vape juice, protein bar. And two lip balms that I never use. And my leatherman would be in there too if I hadn’t of lost it!

    This bag goes in a larger bag that holds water bottle, travel mug, planner, iPad, kobo, little toiletry bag (pill bottle (melatonin, ibuprofen, Tylenol, Benadryl, adhd meds), tampon, pads, menstrual cup, tea bags, lighter, emergen-c, hair ties, vape coils, nicotine patches), big headphones, spare vape, protein bar, sunglasses

    Sometimes that bag will go in a larger bag (like a basket) to hold other extra stuff, like lunch (in its own bag), vitamins, snacks, extra books. I sorted it all out like Russian nesting bags haha. I travel for work so switch things up a lot, and with everything in its own place I don’t forget stuff. If I’m just running in the store then I grab the sling, if I’m heading into work, then next bag up. If I need a backpack I can move stuff around easy.

    I have a separate backpack/bag for my laptop, work binders, and tech bag. The tech bag has a ton of pockets and holds all the different cables, wall wart, usb mouse, hard drive, usb hub, extra headphones, adapters, sd cards, pens, business cards, and ferry tickets. I love that bag.

    Yes I know I’m horribly addicted to nicotine. Also, I don’t care if someone goes in my bag(s), provided I know they’re doing it of course.

    Edit: after reading more of the responses to the question I have to say, this is mainly because I travel so much, and I happen to be on the road right now. If I was at home it would be just the sling!

        I like to be prepared!! The fountain pen gets used mostly for writing in my planner, or little sketches. TBH, I don’t use it as much as the bic though. It’s ridiculous, but I don’t want to mess it up and I’m hard on things.

      I would LOVE to be friends with someone who carried this much. I’d know wherever we were we’d be totally covered. How do you keep it all organised?

        Bags with pockets haha. Seriously though, just having a bunch of small bags that are specific to what’s inside them. Then I can just grab the bags I need and off I go.

        I like being able to help someone if they need something, I don’t even use tampons or pads, but other people do.
