037: Mandatory Bag Search


 Through my hectic work behind the register, I get the chance to peer into many a different peoples wallets, purses and bags. ( I'm curious , not a kleptomaniac) I always find it insightful to see what a person chooses to carry around with them, and the things we think we couldn't go without.My bag is a strange and magical places, where all things once lost tend to reappear, and the jumble of things i need readily accessible.

So I thought I might share with you today, the content of my bag.

1. Sunglasses: Apparently, those people with fair skin are more likely to find glare when our less pasty companions don't. I couldn't leave the house without these without fear of driving into a pond.
2. My wallet - I found this little fellow in Scottland and fell in love straight away. Although, me being me didn't buy it because 30pounds is a lot money to a poor traveller. But when I found, by some twist of fate in the duty free of Glasgow airport, I knew this little man was coming home with me.
3. Moisturiser: This is one of the rotating tubes in my bag, but I feel naked without. I love this Swisse Moisturiser, because it doesn't have any of the nasties or the perfume that makes my skin feel less than beautiful.
4. Note book, pens, take away musings - I almost always have a docket from work scrunched up in my bag - with any idea that strikes me when I'm working, because inspiration always strikes at the wrong time.
5. Key, because, I like unlocking things
6. Salsa cards - I have had way too much Mexican this month, and I blame these coupons, but who doesn't love a free upgrade for lunch.
7. Prime example of something stuffed in my bag - a sample of Jerico Body Butter, lucky me.
8. Lip Balm: this little tube of  Burts Bee's Beeswax Lip Balm had so much love, that the label is now long gone. It's so moisturising and has a minty freshness that leaves my lips tingling.
9. Green Aids; A friend at work were selling these, and as they were for a good cause, I had to buy some. Green Band Aids that would help fund a better life for children in third world countries.
10. Lipstick: Rimmel London, Lasing Finish in Heart Breaker This was another find from overseas. I bought it because a) I wanted a red lipstick and b) its called heart breaker and I was feeling ambitious
The is also a cork there, because I think corks are beautiful and one day I'm going to do something with all the ones I have acquired from work.

So, thats the contents of my bag, and a little insight into the contents of my heart. What's in your bag right now? What sort of things to you seem to carry around with you, whether intentional or not. Let me know, I'd love to hear
