Bag Lady

"Bag lady you gon hurt your back
Draggin' all them bags like that.
I guess nobody every told you how
All you must hold on to is you,  is you, is you....."

Ever wonder what weighs your shoulder down to the ground? Maybe 30 lbs of crap! Necessary crap that is. This is my current bag I shuffle around with me at the moment and some of its contents.






From top, left to right;

Coach Bag - My current lovely leather classic Coach Bag. Monogram styles are so out.

Pill Box - Gotta carry my daily dose around with me. No choice there.

Book - The Sibling Effect by Jeffrey Kluger. I try to always carry some kind of reading material with me.

Notebook, Never Stop Thinking - Must have something with me to jot down rambling thoughts.

Blackberry -  My gateway to civilization. Without it, it sounds stupid but I feel incomplete.

Sharpie Fine Point Pen - Won't write with anything else other than fine point. Weird quirk about me but I HATE ball point pens.

Hair Clip - Life saver for bad hair days.

Coach Wallet - Perfect size. Holds everything I need.

Keys - Minimal. Just the few that I need.

Roberto Cavalli Glasses - Without them, I can't see anything.

Rosary - A rosary made out of rose petals that my sister brought me back from Italy. That's the Catholic in me. I carry it around with me for blessings and protection. It smells amazing.

MAC Studio Fix in NC 35 - Only thing I use on my face.

Gum - Always good to have. Trying out these new Trident Layers. Let's see how I like them.

Mini Nail Files - Hate chipped nails.

Vicks - Fixes anything.

Bath and Body Hand Cream in Cucumber Melon - Must have moisturized hands and serves as double duty to calm flyaways.

Make up Bag - Keeps about 5 lipsticks,5 glosses and a black eyeliner at all times. Don't know when you might need to change your look at the last minute.

Marc Jabocs Daisy - Roller Ball perfume. Must smell good at all times, or at least try.

Band Aid - Best invention to prevent blisters on your feet from those pesky high heels or any shoe that is being a pest.

Dove Deodorant - Gotta freshen up.

Contacts - Just threw these in recently since I'm always forgetting my glasses and I'm sure you don't  want me driving behind you with my 20/20 vision.

Honest Tea - Must stay hydrated. Always try to carry something to drink with me.


I'm sure alot of you can agree with me that we share the same pain of lugging too much crap around with us but I wouldn't have it any other way. Erykah Badu, I love you.

What's weighing you down?
