This post was brought to you by the makers of Tic Tac® mints. I received compensation to write this post through the Tic Tac® Pack program. All opinions expressed are my own.
Today I thought it’d be fun to share “what’s in my bag” with you all. I’ve already shared what’s in my diaper bag and what’s in my hospital bag, so I want to spill the contents of my regular, everyday bag. You know, the one that doesn’t contain baby clothes and diapers and whatnot. The “me” bag, if you will.
So. Many. Lip. Products. I guess I like to always be prepared, and also never have chapped lips! Ha!
L’Occitane hand cream. Favorite.
Tic Tac mints. I always have a little case of these in my bag. Always gotta have that minty fresh breath! I love these for when chewing gum isn’t socially acceptable. Fun fact: my grandma always had these with her, so they remind me of her. :) The green ones are my fave!
Hair things and a nail file.
Snacks. I always have something with me, just in case. I’m loving the peanut butter cookie Larabars lately!
Pen and mini notebook. I’m always jotting little reminders and notes down, and yes, I’m old school and will always prefer a pen and paper to a phone.
Planner. I’d go crazy without it, especially now that I’m suffering from “Mom Brain.” This one’s from Target.
Phone. Totes obsessed with my new gold iPhone. Too bad I have to cover up it’s prettiness with a case. I guess it’s more important to have a safe, non-broken phone than a pretty one. ;)
Business cards. How pretty are my Minted cards? I’m obsessed!
What’s in your bag? If you decide to do a post like this or already have one, link it in the comments below! I think it’s so fun to sneak a peek inside! ;)

oh and p.s. the bag is from Nine West! I just love it and it goes with everything, but unfortunately I can’t find it online anymore. Similar ones here, here and here!
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog
Well now I’m just dying to know where the actual BAG is from! :)
Katie

I need to clean out my bag! It’s an absolute mess!
Katie
Well seeing as I’ve been using a diaper bag most days lately, my bag was surprisingly clean! ;)

What a gorgeous bag! In my bag I always just have my wallet, that’s it. Oh, and a water bottle :)
Katie
Yes, I always have water with me too!

Meagan
Aww my gram used to always buy me tic tacs haha, the orange ones ;)
I always have 2-3 lip products in my bag too: at least one gloss and one lip balm. And for sure a snack like a granola bar or some sort just in case!! :)
Katie
My grandma always had the orange ones too! So cute! :)

I still need to try that neutrogena stick!! And I’m the same way! I love pen and paper! And always have to have my planner or at least my notebook with me, because you just never know when you’re going to need it :)
Katie
Exactly! You just never know! Sometimes my best ideas come at the most random times! And yessss you need to try the Neutrogena stick- it’s so good.

i love reading these sorts of things. that’s because i’m a total creep. i haven’t carried a “me” bag in about four years so i don’t even know what i would include in it. a thermos of wine maybe??
Katie
HAHAHA omg you are amazing. And YES. All of the wine.

Hmmm, I should get some Tic Tacs… I’m not really a gum chewer but sometimes I don’t want the bad breath. :) My bag is much more sparse as I switch between a purse for when I’m without kids and a diaper bag when I’m with kids. So the purse has wipes, a few pens, a lip gloss, a small light in case I’m out walking in the dark… :)
Katie
I’m always switching between my bag and diaper bag, too, but yeah mostly it’s the diaper bag. I’m basically always with the bébé! ;)

It’s so fun to see what people have hidden in their bags! I love it too, when bloggers post pictures of their houses. I’m a creeper ha
Katie
Haha nahhh that’s not creeper status, that’s just having a curious nature! :)

Jen
I am pretty sure the only things I keep in my purse are my wallet, keys, and lip gloss haha.
Katie
Oh my gosh, I wishhhh I could be that minimal! Way to go, girl! ;)
