what are the things that you usually bring inside your bags(like handbag, pouchbag) anything that you brought along with you when you go out from the house? could you explain why those things? and whats its importance for you??? come one... spill it out! lets have fun... whenever i went out with friends or with my boyfriend., i always wear my black sling bag... wherein i could put my wallte (ofcourse can't leave without my money) atm, credit card (with other cards to identify me)... and surely can't leave without my kikay kit... cosmetics (like lipstick, blush on, eye liner, eye shadow...etc.) face powder, hand sanitizer, a pen and a mini notebook., so how about you??? got some fancy stuffs inside your mini bags???

I don't often carry a purse or bag..I'm just odd like that. When I do I usually have my wallet, maybe lipstick or eyeliner, a notebook, deoderant, a pen, some napkins, a brush..and maybe my tiger's eye or quartz, maybe some chalk. Most of that stuff I carry for the obvious reasons. Notebook and pen get the most use obviously, with me being an avid writer. My wallet doesn't usually have money in it, so that's with my library cards, which also get plenty of use. My tiger's eye is for protection, quartz is for focusing, and chalk is in case I feel the need to draw protective circle around me. I don't always use chalk..so I don't usually carry it..just shows how witchy I am I guess. I don't usually leave the house without something I could use as an aid to help me work if there's trouble. "Expect the unexpected" is my motto lol.

Yeah I'm a writer ^_^ I mostly write supernatural thrillers, though I dabble in article writing and lyrics. Most of my ideas are unrelated to where I am or what I'm doing, they mostly just randomly pop into my head. Though sometimes something someone says will give me an idea. And then I'll write these ideas down in my notebook.

Let's see, I have makeup (several of almost everything, actually), house key, laundry room key, old house key, 3 student IDs, about 3 or 4 suckers, various candies, a small bag of dragon tears, a few bucks, body spray, pens (I have no idea how many), pencils (about 3), a small notebook, my student planner, various scraps of paper with e-mails and IMs on them, a watch, a bag of those conversation candy hearts, a small sampling of personal business cards, a handheld mirror, and a deck of playing cards. Wow. This is a small purse, too. I'd like to see you try to find something in it, though, lol. The dragon tears are personal attachment; my friend told me the legend, and I've kept some with me ever since, more out of love for my friend than anything else. The other stuff is rather self-explanatory, I think.

What an interesting topic. It made me realize how different the contents of my handbag are now that I am (much) older when I was young it weighed about 10 lbs (LOL) without all the make up I used to lug around when I was still in the work force. Now I am retired I carry my keys, wallet, small amount of cash, credit cards, drivers license, comb, Kleenex and a small notebook and pen. What a difference!

In regards to my handbag, what is inside I have my wallet, with all my id in it and money of course. Make up, a small little ash tray due to I smoke just incase I am stuck in some place where I cannot ash my cigerate due to I do not like to leave a mess and we are not allowed to just throw them on the ground.

LOL It is hard to tell what all is in my purse. I know my wallet, credit card, etc. But I think there may also be some lip gloss, lip balm, suckers from the bank that they give me for the kids, some of my prescription med., of course, a little bit of trash. A whole bunch of loose change. A pen, some more suckers from the bank, cigs, keys, cell phone, and some stamps. Nothing exciting in there. But I did get to answer a discussion and clean out my purse at the same time!

I collect bags (not on purpose they are cute) like my mom collects purses, I collect backpacks. But I try at all times to have the following on me: a pad for (you know), my wallet, coin purse, cell phone, my poetry notebook and at least one pad of paper and pen (if possible). I dont really do "purses" but have had one more recently. I like my backpacks though dont know why. Its how I am :)) Oh yeah and some lotion for my dry hands :)

Coach Bag - I love Coach purses, this is about as small as mine gets :)
Well in my purse is my wallet (DL, atm card, credit, card, insurance card etc) I also have my Fashion Fair cosmetics (eyeliner, lipstick, gloss, face powder), money, loose change that is just at the bottom of my purse..lol..If I forget my clip to my cellphone, it goes in there also... I buy small purses because If I had a big one, I would probably store everything under the sun..lol

I don't carry a bag any longer. When I did, I put entirely too much stuff in it. Now, I am disabled so I carry my important items in my pockets (money, driver license, atm and credit cards). I wish I still carried a purse. There are some pretty cool ones out there. When I absolutely have to carry something (no pockets) I use a black leather fanny pack.
