It’s interesting to see what people carry with them on a daily basis. What are their MUST HAVES? I use to carry large structured bags- to hold EVERYTHING! I try to carry ‘below’ my weight limit and certainly not the kitchen sink. Then, I went to smaller bags that I can just throw over my shoulder/ body and be minimalistic. Less need to have everything on hand, therefore less weight! It was the time where I no longer have to have ‘baby/ kid’ stuff with me. It was liberating. I gave up almost all of it except for WIPES. ‘I’ need them, still. For those emergencies?! Anyway, what do I carry in a small bag (9″x7″x2″)? JUST the necessities- A narrow, almost flat wallet, a phone, gum, lipgloss, keys, and a business card case. As life fail to get simpler, my small bag turned on me. There’s no space for anything else! Those BIG bags start to look HOT again! Alluring magazine ads TELL me I NEED these bigger, bolder, more FUN bags! I went to my closet and ‘un-retire’ my almond colored MEDIUM size slouchy hand bag. Small steps. Small steps. I can fit all my necessities AND my red velvet ‘birdie’ notebook- for those BIG IDEAS! I’m content now. It has room for an apple or a snack and maybe a small go-to makeup bag with travel size wipes: )
What’s in your BAG?
