A monthly (well, mostly monthly!) update of what’s in my bag. It seems strange, but I really believe that you can glean a lot of information about a person by looking in their bag.
March 2012:
Oh dear god, my bag has been a mess ever since I got back from Mexico!
Through all the clutter, here’s what was in my bag (I’ve since cleaned it out):
- Moleskine journals, reporter-style and two plain.
- Sharpie pens (black, red, green). I seriously love Sharpie pens, they just write so well!
- Random memory card for my camera.
- Mailer I need to send to Mount Royal (I’m donating some $ to the library).
- Pink fingerless gloves from Ottawa
- Cold pills, birth control pills (that I was SO EXCITED to pick up this month — the rest are in the prescription bag at the bottom of the shot. I was stoked, because I now have insurance and the pills were FREE.)
- Various gift cards and business cards (I need a holder)
- Make up, lady products
- 16 GB iPod touch and headphones
- Coach wallet/wristlet.
- Mini Moo business cards (love them!)
- Screen wipe for iPhone
- Not pictured: iPhone. It’s what I took the photo with!
- Tax forms. I’ll actually be getting a return this year, which is a nice change of pace.
- Bag is from American Eagle. Me and my friend Dave call it the “trying too hard” bag.
