What can I say? Some of my favorite blog posts and photos to look at on flickr are “Inside My Bag” posts. It’s just interesting to see what other people carry around with them. So, with that in mind I decided to provide you with a chance to glimpse into the bag of Christine. Here’s what I carry around with me on a daily basis, with one or two things missing. When school’s in session, add in folders for each class and a poorly organized five star notebook. The bag featured for this post is one of my favorites. It’s from the Coach Poppy collection and I received it as a Christmas present from my parents this year. I love the fun colors. It’s a great carryall as you will see below.
1. My Coach Poppy bag. =]
2. My wallet with various things inside of it.
3. My Juicy loves Sephora cosmetic case. (see below to snoop that!)
4. The New Testament, I’m currently reading Revelations.
5. A hallmark datebook. Nice portable calendar.
6. A mini composition book, perfect for jotting down notes.
7. My sock change purse.
8. BBW foaming hand sanitizer in Warm Vanilla Sugar.
9. Lubriderm lotion. I wash my hands a lot at work & need to keep them soft!
10. Pens, to write down said notes.
11. Chococat mirror.
12. A mini flashlight.
13. A penny, I always keep a loose one in my purses.
14. ‘Attitude’ inspirational coin.
15-19. Randoms: Pink pocket mini Swiss army knife, snowman charm, gum, rose in a tube, & Carmine’s NYC matches.
Not pictured: Keys, Menthols & my lighter
This is a simple photo, but inside my purse I always have my Saint Theresa medals. She is my patron saint so I always keep her with me. These were given to me by my mother, and you’ll see that I have two in here. When school is in session I keep one in my school bag and another in my regular purse.
1. My cosmetic case.
2. Advil and Tylenol. Usually people end up asking me for it, but no worries. I always keep it on me just in case.
3. Scrunchie. Too many times staying at Keith’s and nothing to tie my fro up with!
4. MAC Blot Sheets, to absorb my EVOO skin. =P
5. Nail clipper.
6. Blistex Silk & Shine chapstick. Tastes like Koolaid.
7. MAC Lustreglasse in Luminary (I believe!)
8. Aquaphor. I kept this in here when my tattoo was healing up, but it works wonders for super dry skin too.
9. My awesome nail file.
You might be thinking, “Damn, she’s got a lot of stuff in that bag,” but to me it’s always better to have more than you think you’ll need. Plus, it’s great to have a large bag when someone (Ah-hem, Keith!) wants me to carry some of his stuff. Even with everything above tucked into my purse, there is still room for a book and my glasses (which I take with me to doctor’s appointments just in case), a bottle of water and a whole bag of Goldfish crackers (I found this out while going to Newport in May with the high school kids).
What do you keep in your purses? Do you prefer a large tote, or something more compact?
Fascinating! You carry a lot of stuff that I’ve never considered carrying on me, like a nail clipper and file. Ever since I came back from traveling through Europe, I’ve gotten used to carrying more stuff in my purse, like a bottle of water and an umbrella, and a book and a notebook, just in case.

I love bag blog posts! Your bag is SERIOUSLY cute. And I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who carries a crap-load of stuff in my bag. Everyone makes fun of me. But because I commute to & from work, I am constantly in my car and need stuff!

Wow! Lotta stuff you got there. I really find it interesting when my blogger friends blogs about what’s inside their bag ‘coz it gives me a lot of ideas =D.
A large tote, or something more compact?— It depends. When I’m out with my boyfie, I bring my huge purse ‘coz he’s there to carry it for me (but it’s not heavy ya know =>). I put stuff similar to yours in my big purse. But when I go out by myself, I bring a small purse with my small makeup kit, my cellphone, and my wallet in it.

First off, hey girl!! I haven’t talked to you in ages. I think I imed you one day, but I never got a response so I figured you didn’t remember me.
Anyway, on to the blog. I’m in love with your bag. My bag is a mess right now and has junk in it that I don’t even need. Just papers thrown in and random things I’ve just thrown in there. I need to clean it out and organize it. So, I basically have my wallet, my checkbook, random papers/receipts, pens/pencils, sketchbook, and calculator.
Posts like this make me want to go shopping and buy new things.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
