What's In My Bag - Winter Edition

I'm a sucker for those "what's in my bag" posts and I haven't done a blog version in a very long time. I did a YouTube video of it last year, but bags change and I wanted to do one that I've been using lately.

The bag I'm currently using is actually the bag I used during christmas time, because I'm a weirdo and I tend to change out my bags each season and come December I start donning my green vintage Coach bag. I would have switched it out by now, but I'm really loving how small it is, especially because it still manages to hold A LOT of things thanks to it's many compartments - which makes it perfect for everyday use.

So, here's what's in my bag!

Wallet

I got my MBMJ wallet last January. It is a different colour than I normally would have purchased, but that's why I love it! It has dark metallic pink on one side and dark pink leather on the other side. SWOON!

Sunglasses
Even though it's winter the sun still shines extra bright in Florida and having these on hand are a definite must because my eyes can be extremely sensitive to light.

Makeup Bag

I'm going to be honest with you here, I have mostly lipstick in this bag, like there are 4 different shades of lipstick! Along with a backup tube of mascara, lip balm and a compact mirror.

Swiss Army Knife
My step-dad gave this to me last month when I asked him if he had something that would bore a hole into leather. Magically, he did and it was a Swiss Army Knife - which I had always wanted. Thankfully, he let me keep it.

A Notebook & Pen
Sometimes I am struck with the overwhelming urge to write something down and having a pen (yes, that paint tube is actually a pen in disguise) and paper on hand makes my life easier. Sometimes the notebook gets removed from my bag and when that happens I'll use the memo app on my phone.

Hand Sanitizer
This is a must. That Carex bottle is actually from England and I've refilled it several times because I love it and want to keep it. 

Phone & Phone Charger

My phone isn't pictured, but I don't leave home without this damn thing, mostly because I'm terrified something will happen and I'll need it and won't have it. Yes, I've driven home to get it when I realized I didn't have it.The charger is more for Alex, than me. His phone's battery life SUCKS and this thing has come in handy quite a bit. 

Kleenex
Every time I don't have these with me I need them.

Things I should keep in my bag, but don't:

a book or my Kindle

my actual camera

cashews for random snacking
water (if only it would fit)

What is your must-have item(s) that you keep in your bag?
