Good grief. I work almost exclusively online – here, with The Website Beautician, and as a web content editor at the university. So what I want to know is, how on earth has my daily handbag ended up full of all of this?!
Yeah, not Clover – she was just being “helpful”.
That’s a makeup bag, four eyeliners, two blushers, three lipglosses, a mascara, two mirrors, a pair of tweezers and foundation – and I don’t wear makeup during the day at work.
A CD (wtf?!), a pencil case with 15 (15!) pens and one pencil, chocolate, biz cards in a Loughborough holder, a notebook (green) for a course I’m doing, my beloved Moleskine diary, £20 I’d forgotten I’d got out of the cash machine, my little camera, half a pharmacy (ibuprofen, iron supplement, antihistamine, rescue remedy), my clip in dreads, various hairbands, my purse, two forks, a spoon, a cloth for cleaning my glasses, a plug for a phone charger (but no cable) and a USB stick. And a half written letter to Chloe.
Which would kind of be ok, if a) I didn’t also carry a bag with lunch and two big folders in it everywhere and b) I hadn’t cleared it out literally two days ago. At which point I removed two types of eczema cream, antiseptic cream, more pens, my TV remote control (again, wtf?!), the cable for the charger, two books, a magazine, the beads I bought on Thursday, half a brownie, four packs of tissues and a necklace. And today I left tap shoes and a scarf on my desk at work.
No wonder my back and shoulder hurt!
What the contents of my bag say about me: I reckon I’m prepared for just about anything, but that I REALLY need to pay more attention to the state of clutter in my life. So it’s just as well that the fantastic Anna Kunnecke is teaching the Queen Sweep course for free. It sarted on Monday and prompted this post. And, well – if the rest of the course is as effective as this first week, hopefully I’ll be much more aware and much less cluttered in the not too distant future!
What’s in your handbag? I suspect I’m not alone in my delusions of travelling light…
Yay, so nice to see that you carry as much in your bag as me, lol! I like to be prepared ^^ Are those Freddos I see? I’ve not had one for ages, really fancy one now! xxx
Heehee! Must be a creative thing! Those are indeed Freddos, they’re great portable happiness shots! Xxx
Hahahahahah. Thanks for the giggle.
(BTW if it makes you feel better these days my ‘handbag’ is a pram, packed to the brim with exciting things like nappy cream and rice cakes. I miss those multiple eyeliner days!)
That does make me feel better 😛 xxx
I like the fact you have chocolate- mine has gum in, it’s not the same. I also have Blistex (my lips are fine), cold and flu meds, Tyrozets (I’m not ill)… Also how do you forget a £20, and also how on earth did we get to Now 86 already- I have the iconic Now 29 in my car!
