My Favorite (New) Bag & What's in my Bag..

I figured it was about time I do a "What's in my bag" -I love seeing these types of posts. I'm always curious to see whats' in the bags/purses of others so here's mine!

The bag I've been using for the last week is this Old Navy brown leopard print bag (above.) I bought it over a week ago for dirt cheap. I saw it the Thursday before Halloween not on sale for $12.50 and fell in love with it after carrying it on my shoulder around the store while shopping. However, I knew it would go on sale so back to the shelf it went.

The next day, I visited another Old Navy to find that all bags were 30% off! And when I went to the register, I asked for 10% off my purchase (I did one of the surveys but left my survey at home.) The cashier said he'd give me the 10% but told me that if I "screamed" (Old Navy was having a special Halloween promotion), I'd get 20% off instead! Ok, I really didn't want to scream since the store was so crowded and quiet but I did manage to let out a tiny scream. The cashier shook his head and told me I had to scream louder. I tried again and he shook his head! So finally, I pulled out the big guns and gave him the biggest puppy dog pouty face I could give and he finally budged and gave me the 20% off. I walked away with the bag for a little over $7 (with tax) and a huge sense of accomplishment.

And now for a peek of what's IN my bag..

Surprisingly, the items you see above are the only "beauty-related" items in my purse. I always need tissues (for my horrible allergies), lotion, hand sanitizer, Pangea Organics lip balm (or Jack Black lip balm), and my favorite LORAC Multiplex 3D gloss in Polished.

I always need food and water/juice because I'm always thirsty/hungry. It's great to have snacks on hand especially if you're held up at school or have to wait some ridiculous 6 hours at the DMV or Urgent Care/ER (the worst!)

I also carry my phone, keys, iPod, Nintendo DS, and Kindle with me. If I'm somewhere where there's a long wait, the iPod and DS really help to make time pass more quickly.

And of course I need my wallet. I switch off between the black one (I can fit loads of coupons and cards in here) and the Hello Kitty one (for when I don't want to carry a huge wallet.) I also carry a coin purse -I prefer this to having to stuff all my change in my wallet.

And for the miscellaneous items.. I often carry a book with me if I'm assigned one for class. I also carry a little bag (since this Old Navy bag has no zippered pockets) where I keep my pens, tampons, scissors, and rosary (for good luck.) I also carry a little notebook in case I come up with ideas (lyrics, stories, drawings, etc.) or need to scribble down some notes.

So that's it for what's in my bag! What do you carry in your purse -what are your most important items? Happy Monday everyone!
