What a great topic because I feel like many people want to know what I'm carrying and are too polite to ask, do women ask this of each other a lot? There are about a million of these videos on YouTube giving the impression they do, but I admittedly love watching these, so here goes:
Everyday:
-smartphone
-earbuds
-wallet/card case
-over the counter meds and any prescriptions
-emergency cash/tickets/itineraries (travel)
-backup set of keys
-wipey things for phone/eyeglasses
-small mini board game or deck of cards for sitting in Starbucks
-envelope of loyalty cards, business cards etc
-oral hygiene supplies, I'm pretty fussy when it comes to my teeth
-wet wipes (travel)
-pen
-tissue
-book
-incoming/outgoing mail
Evening or Running:
-smartphone
-cash, necessary cards
-migraine meds (they often come on unexpectedly)
-pen
-tissue
I work at home but occasionally I have to go in to office for meetings or lunches, and I carry an additional, separate bag for that which includes: laptop, agenda/calendar book, notebook, and small supplies-it's more of a mobile desk because they turned my office into a storage room, I have to sit in the conference room now lol.
