Typically there is also highlighters, candy, reading for class, a book of cross sums, advil, ora-gel, and water, sometimes a back up pair of contacts, plus whatever else I might need for that day. And now that we're moving into the cold season, gloves and lotion will become standard.

It was when my kids tried an olive each at the market and there was no dustbin, so they just shoved them in my bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helium Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I rarely wear a purse so instead I have a bookbag (recently I bought one with wheels) because I can´t go to a place without bring a book to read and a notebook, plus 3,000 things I carry around. I´m very sluggish- and I don´t wear makeup unless it is lipstick because I have very dry lips.What I have today:Water cooler with water (need to drink about 2 liters because I have issues...) plus if I ever need water to take meds it´s there...Planner 2012 of Jack from a nightmare before x-mas (I adore it)A GMAT bookPaula, by Isabel AllendeA pouch filled with pens,highliter, stickis, bookmarks,pendrive, small ruler.Another pouch with sanitary napkings, hand lotion, foot lotion (ballet!), lipstick, hair bands, razor, and I forgot what else.A notebook in which I write ideas,stories, words I learn or other things that I learn that I find interesting.Another notebook which is more like a diary.A folder filled with documents that I might needAnother book that I´m simultaneously readingA clipboardAn umbrella (very small, is super cute) in case it rains... Bronchitis wasn´t fun to live.IpodWalletA small pouch with coinsMy meds, Of course. I have a case that´s Mon-Sun and I have all my doses in it. I carry it with me everywhere. That´s my trick not to miss it.And my keys!Whenever I carry a purse (there are places I go that I need to wear them) is usually small and I include my med case, lipstick, small wallet, and my keys..... I´m not thaaat girly... I guess that´s why in ballet they consider me a hyppie, but in reality I´m apathetic...

I have 4, I always use the one who matches my outfit the best so yeah, I have as less stuff in there as possible because I don't feel like setting much stuff over.
