- purse (cards, cash, coins) with keys attached (so I cannot easily misplace either item)
- basic first-aid/hygiene items inc sterile wipes and assorted bandaids
- card holder for excess cards that aren't needed everyday but still need to be easily found
- phone
- iPad
- minimum of 1 (heavy duty) charger + cables for all devices on me or might be needed by friends
- emergency food (minimum one muesli bar + one fruit bar)
- 2 Ventolin inhalers (in different sections of bag) to
- meds (generally just painkillers + tigerbalm)
- water bottle (has cover with carabiner hook + straps so can be carried seperately but lives in bag by default)
- beautiful shiny notepad/sticky notes set (holographic cloud cover, very durable and good assortment of sizes for taking all kinds of notes on-the-go)
- minimum of 4 different types of pens (standard blue or black, erasable, fine-liner, permanent marker)
- very small notebook (unicorn patterned cover, perfect for handing to toddlers to draw in to occupy them whilst waiting in line etc)
- pawpaw cream / unicorn lipgloss
- nail + scissors set ( x 2 atm, oops)
- glasses cleaning cloth
- ear plugs (for flights / times I need to block out noise quickly)
- chewing gum (for flights / to unblock my ears)
^ the first-aid / hygiene / meds all go into zippered sections of a "bag for your handbag" thing I have to organise my stuff. Cables and stuff sit in another section. The big notebook sits in the main section along with the iPad, phone, and purse + keys. Water bottle rests on top. Everything else has a pocket or slot to live in.
Depending on what I'm doing, I might cull some items so I'm carrying less, but generally I prefer to be prepared. I don't want to carry around things that aren't getting used though so I try to clear things out at the end of each day (and make sure I've restocked on bandaids etc that got used).
