What's in your bag?

i do always carry my bag with me wherever i go. i have my staff there. my small make-up kit, my mobile phone, an umbrella, wallet, identification cars. anything important for the day, i carry it in my bag. i can't leave the house with a big or a small bag with me..

I like bags, the bigger the better. But I do not like carrying them when ever I go out!!! Infact soemtimes my husband snaps at me for giving him my cell phone, cards and loose cash while we go shopping! I dislike to stuff my bags and avoid taking one if I can. Ofcourse it helps to have a husband who wears a jacket with a lot of pockets hi hi. But when I go for more time say for whole day or whole afternoon, I do take a bag. I usually take water, some choco bars, sunblock cream and goggles, umbrella and a lip barm. cash, card are must haves.

Your question reminded me of something I read on MSN lifestyle...the writer advised all women to remember the acronym MILK when packing their handbags and heading out. What is MILK? It stands for money, ID, lipstick, and keys. I guess those are the basics of my handbag, on most days. Becaue I HAVE to have a handbag with me, no matter where I go.

I do feel weird or naked without my shoulder bag, and it is a pretty big one. I usually have some kind of emergency snack like a granola bar or a protein bar, and of course my wallet, which has my driver's license and credit cards, health insurance card, that kind of thing. Pens and a pad of paper, usually a paperback book to amuse me when I have to wait somewhere. Oh, yes, a small but high powered flashlight and a good pocketknife, and (get this!) my own personal pair of chopsticks that break down and store in a little pouch. This was a gift from my daughter, and let me tell you, waiters are impressed when you whip out your own pair of chopsticks! LOL Plus some breath mints, a couple of lipsticks, mirror and small brush or comb. And lots of tissues! Yes, it gets heavy, but those items have all come in handy at one time or another.

I do now! I used to just put my wallet in my pocket..but then I lost it! So now it's my money, lip gloss and some pics of my kids..I'm a bare minimalist after watching my mom dig through a mountain of junk she never uses and panicking because she can't find something LOL

Yes I do. I really hate the feeling of needing something which I decided not to bring so I always bring a bag with me with everything important in it. I dont care how heavy my bag gets because I simply hate it when I fail to bring something important I have bought before for my use and when the time comes that I need them already, they aren't there. :(

I don't really like to carry a bag with me. When I was young, I usually wear jeans and I just put my Identity Card and some money in my pocket and went out. Now, as I need to bring along my mobile phone and also sometimes I don't wear jeans, and I have to carry a bag with me. I'll try to keep as fewer things in my bag as possible. My purse, my mobile phone, my house keys are the essential things in my bag. Sometimes I do bring along a book with me, so that I can read it when I am free or waiting for something. If I go out with my husband, I usually ask him to carry my Identity Card and mobile phone for me, so that I don't need to carry any bag.

Leaving my handbag at home is a joy and I never miss it! Personally, I think a daddy and his kids dreamed up handbags for moms to carry all of their stuff! Driver's license, debit card or cash in my jean's pocket make shopping so much easier. The bag isn't slipping off my shoulder. I don't have to worry if I leave it in the cart to turn and get something off the shelf, it will be gone when I turn back to the cart. AND I'm not hauling the everyone else's junk around on tired shoulders. Life without a handbag is a joy!

Since I gave birth to my son I always brought a bag everywhere I go. The reason behind it is because I do not want to leave anything behind. Now what's inside my bag are essential to me I think. My things inside my bag are: Pen and Paper Camera with extra batteries and a charger for it Wallet full of receipts instead of full of money Coin purse Lip balm Mineral Powder Tissue Wet wipes And other things I put in that is essential such as an organizer at times or my daily does of receipts inside my bag.

When i go to work i often take bag. I should put purse, cell phone or else on it. If i go out to play or go shopping i do not like to take a bag. I am afraid of that I could forget it anywhere.

..Hi maria1081, Believe it or not at some point in my life, some time ago, I decided to stop carrying a purse. I thought to myself, why am I always carrying all this junk around? I would do it every day and never use 98% of it. So I stopped, I would carry my credit card, my drivers license and a few dollars perhaps. I started leaving the purse home, for me that was a big change, I was a collector of handbags. Nice handbags, leather bags, Coach bags, suede and leather bags. Bags that my sisters would fight over, so that I would give them to one of them, which I often did. When I did carry a bag, I had all kinds of things, a mirror, perfume, wallet, pen, address book and other miscellaneous stuff. Leaving the bag at home gave me a sense of freedom. Never went back to carrying it. Take care. Have a great New Year.

yes i carry a bag i have everything in there i need if you are like me my keys fall to the bottom of the bag no matter what i do ... i try to tie the keys to my bag... and some times my husband will say here put this in your bag... i have my cell phone, wallet some credit cards, library card . keys sun glasses.. some times gloves...

Obviously, why not! It indicates the sign of feminity! Am i wrong! the content of my bags room keys, atm cards, mobile,passbook of the banks, sometimes eatable things.

wallet, checkbook, sometimes cell phone, lipstick, small comb, business cards, promo postcards, and stuff like that.

I always have a bag with me. It has my keys, cell phone, wallet, my work ID badge, sometimes I'll throw in an extra bottle for my son so I don't have to carry a whole diaper bag in addition. My bags not super big, but it can also fit a bottle of water if I need a drink wherever I am going.

No I do not always take a bag when I go out. My bag has wallet, checkbook and some makeup and nail clippers and a few miscellaenous items in it.

I always take my purse with me. I have everything I need in it.Money, crdit cards, phone numbers, calendar, kleenexes, chap stick, lipstick, mints, Purell, cell phone and more. I wish I could go without it as my one friend does. but I just don't see how. I know I carry too much stuff in it and I try to cut down on what's in it but it never works. I take it even if I am just going to the post office or somewhere that I don't need anything. I am always afraid I will have an accident or something and won't have any ID.

Well, i think this question is suitable for girls, as a boy i never bring a bag, if i have, that must be my PC..

I too have the same habits. It is to buy some groceries , vegetable and avoid using the Polythene bag.Also the shoulder bag cannot be forgotten as it lies on the shoulder and can be felt easily.
