What is in my bag?

I was tagged by my extremely funny friend (I mean it in a complimentary way 'cos I know I do use that for strange people too) and fellow blogger Sisi Yemmie on this "what's in your bag?" meme.
Thanks for the tag miss!
Click on her name to check her blog, you'll laugh your heart out and also get your Nigerian pidgin English vocab really updated.

This meme requires that:
1. I take a picture of my bag
2.Talk about the bag
3. Empty it's contents
4. Take a picture of the contents
5. Talk about the contents

So here we go

The bag



It was a birthday gift from a darling friend. I like the colour cos I can pretty much match it with anything.  I also like it because it's big enough to accommodate the things I want to and at the same time still looks small enough to complement my petite frame :)


I can close/open the clips at the side to make it smaller or bigger plus it has 3 compartments, I can conveniently carry my school notebooks in it too.

The contents:

Sorry I didn't label them but they are quite obvious and I'll try to be consistent and go from top till I get to the bottom.

1. My stationery bag - I left it open so maybe you can try to make out what's inside if you need to. It has my usb drive, mini stapler, paper glue, text highlighter, correcting fluid, pencil, eraser, sharpener, paper clips, pens- different colours.... blue, red...
Ok guys I'm a student and I like to always have all my things in place. I'm not a mobile stationery shop :)

2. Sunglasses - A must have now. Important to shield your eyes from the sun

3.Budapest times - One of the very few English tabloids you can find around here. I try to stay updated with what's happening around me. I try to make sure that I finish it before every week runs out because it's a weekly publication so I carry it around and digest it at the slightest available opportunity.

4. Hand cream -For all the apparent reasons

5. Wallet - Everything you can think of in a wallet; money, cards, and it has a nice compartment for coins too. I love it.

6. Note pad - Something creative might just come up at odd times and for other valuable informations that I don't want to miss. You never know when you'll learn something new.

7. Journal - Important dates, to do lists....

8. Pocket tissues -Sneezing, sweating, drying my hands after washing them...and the many more functions they can serve

9. Umbrella - I hate to run around like a chicken, and I don't always remember (more like bother) to check the forecast so it's easier to just keep one in my bag and get on the move.

10. Phones - Communication is important :)

11.Music player & Ear phones - When I need to quickly get my music dose

12. Chewing gum - I carry a whole bottle LOL. I just love that fresh breath and minty blast. If you're talking to me and I can even perceive something as much as garlic smell oozing out, I'll offer it sorry or I might just puke from trying to pretend.

13. Tic-Tac - Sometimes gum is just too stressful and unbearable, so yea there's tic tac  :)

14. My lil bag - Give it a name, I'll tell you what it contains. My hand disinfectant, a little nail file, lip balm, wet wipes, purple song, mirror and brush. I don't like them scattered all around my bag so I keep them in that bag.
If I'd emptied it, this is what it'd look like



So I'll try to talk about the contents now

15. Cynex lip balm - This particular one comes in pink shade. I hate my lips going dry so this works to keep it moisturized while also giving it a nice pinky look and adds some sheen to it. It's the best thing ever since I don't carry makeup around. Before I found this, I used to carry lip balm and lip gloss but now, once I use this one, it does the magic :)

16. Fragrance - I love fragrances so I just love to always have a little bottle of something with me. This is a tiny one from pimkie called purple song.

17. Nail file - I carry my natural nails. I hate it when it cracks or gets a little rough. I try to plan for how I can fix it quickly if it happens when I'm not at home and that little file comes in very handy.

18. Pocket wet wipes - Incase I need to take something off my face or I just need to wipe my hands until I can wash them.

19. Hand disinfectant - Dealing a lot with patients and the hospital has taught me to use this regularly. Using it almost everytime now has almost become a reflex. (BTW, I study physiotherapy, just incase you're wondering what I'm doing with patients and hospital.)

20. Brush case with mirror - I love this little brush and mirror case. It's portable & it's just so convenient that it has both things in one little case


21. The tiny band on the mirror in the previous picture(the one before the last one I posted) is for my hair. I like to carry something I can hold my hair with if I need to. I leave it in the case just like that.

22. And  finally, but very important, my key set. It keeps trying to escape this (It was at the top in the first picture now it's the tiny thing that you can almost not see beside my little bag). Of course I need one if I don't want to sleep on the streets.

There you have it peeps. I hope you liked it. (*Hides face* cos I know it was just so boring)

Apparently I'm one of the last people to do this. Almost everyone has already done this. I mean it's like a flu that has captured all the female bloggers so I'll just say if you haven't done it and would like to, just let me know and I'll tag you.
I'll just go ahead and tag 5 people that I'm sure I haven't seen any post from them on this.
1. Dangel eyes - My model, open your bag, let's see what models carry around:)
2. Naomi Lucas - I recently discovered her blog. I think we kinda have a similar writing style. She's been tagged already by Sisi yemmie so this should be a nice reminder. Open your bag miss :)
3. Simply chic -  I haven't seen what a simple chic carries in her bag yet.
4. Darbie - I don't think I've seen yours too.
5. And finally Coy introvert - my most recent blog discovery.

...... and more tags!

Waiting to snoop around some more :)
