What's in my bag ? / Essential Bag Items.

These are a few items that are always in my handbag/backpack, either for emergency or daily use. I consider these as must haves for an already packed bag. 

Today I'm going to share with you a few essential ideas for your bag. Don't forget to make note and shove it in immediately.

1. ANY FORM OF IDENTITY

You should always carry some form of identification with you; you never know when you’ll have to prove your identity and that in itself makes this item top my list of essential items for my handbag. So, don't forget to carry either or college/office ID card or maybe or driving license.

2. PURSE/ WALLET

No one can survive without money. That makes it the most essential item in my bag.

3. MEDICINE

You don’t need to take the whole medicine cabinet with you, but grab a few pain killers and a crocin, and you're good to go.

4. LIP BALM

Keep those lips hydrated (especially in cold weather!). I cannot do without 'Baby lips.'

5. DEODORANT/ BODY MIST

No one likes the stench of body odor! Shove a mini deodorant into your bag, one thing that you can't miss for sure.

6. BAND-AID

Stock up on band-aids. You never know when you'll get an unexpected cut. Accident prone that I am, the band-aids definitely come in handy!

7. PENS

In case you need to sign something, you'll be prepared with a pen. Or if you need to jot down a small reminder to yourself.

8. PACK OF TISSUES

 I am real clumsy, so this is surely an essential for me. You never know when you’ll get hit with a bloody or runny nose. I carry a small travel size pack with me.

9. HAND SANITIZER

Hand sanitizers come in so much handy (especially in these winter months when the flu is going around!) while traveling, before eating, etc.

10. A FEW SAFETY PINS

You'll never know when a button of a shirt will pop out or any need of last minute alteration comes your way. All you need are a few safety pins for last minute damage control and you'll be prepared for almost ant fashion emergency

11. KEYS

How could you leave your home without your keys? This necessity is pretty much a given. House keys, car keys, office keys; make sure you got them all!

12. POST ITS

You’ll never know when you’ll need to scribble down a reminder or a phone number you’ll need to call later. Post Its are perfect for this. A pad of paper can do the trick as well!

13. MINTS OR GUM

Fresh breath? Yes, please! Dump a pack of gum or mints into your everyday bag so you won't be stuck with bad breath all day long!


14. SUNGLASSES

The sun, I hate !!! Just can't take.

15. WATER

So, ladies, do you have any (if not all) of these essential items in your bag? If not, do you have any other items that you must have in your bag at all times?
