What’s In Our Bags? Everyday Essentials You’ll Love
I believe the best thing a woman can have is a purse stocked with everything she needs. It’s part of the reason people say we’re like magic. I asked my team which items they never leave the house without — and they didn’t disappoint! Whether it’s running errands, grabbing coffee while knocking out some work, or camping out at the kids’ sports practice, these essentials make life feel a little more effortless. Scroll down to take a peek inside our bags!
“Would you believe this monogrammed leather wallet is from Amazon? This is the best wallet I have ever owned, and the best part is it was under $15. Holds all of my essentials and even fits an airtag, so I can always make sure I know where it is. Talk about a look for less! It does have a longer ship time than a usual prime item, but it is totally worth the wait.”
“This is a product that caught my eye when I was checking out, you know all of those mini items they keep stocked at the checkout line. Thank goodness they keep it on Amazon at usually a discounted price! I keep this water facial spray in my purse in all seasons, especially since I live in the south. One quick spray cools me down, and doesn’t cause any harm to my make up. It’s great to spray on the back of my neck as well.”
“I go absolutely nowhere without my pill organizer. This system is so much more efficient than bringing all of my pill bottles around. I recommend using a label maker, and keeping notes of the recommend dosages and health warnings for your medication. Helps me feel prepared in case I get a headache, tummy ache, or allergies.”
“These are my favorite hair clips! I have thick, curly hair that feels impossible to get to stay in a clip. These have such a great grip, and it helps they are so stinking adorable! My style is very feminine & chic, so these pearl clips are perfect for when I am in a pinch but don’t want to sacrifice on style. Perfect to keep in my bag when I want to roll the windows down in my car and need to throw my hair up!”
“A friend recommended this sunscreen stick last summer and I’ve kept it in my purse ever since. It goes on clear, without any residue, and doesn’t irritate sensitive eyes. You can apply it before or after your makeup, it never smudges my makeup when I apply for a re-fresh. Bonus, my kids love it because it goes on so smooth and without tears. A win for this mom.”
“I bought this portable speaker a couple years ago when I went on a backpacking trip. I needed something that was small enough to fit in a very overpacked bag, but had loud, high quality sound. This speaker and I have a lot of memories together! It now sits permanently in my bag because you never know when you need some background music, it helps that I am also the designated DJ friend. Perfect for travel, sitting outside on your porch, or if you have kids, a good round of freeze dance.”
“My boyfriend gifted me this portable charger because he said he was tired of watching my phone constantly be on low battery mode. It’s true, I love content and design so much I am constantly on my phone. I love being able to lounge where I want without being restricted by a phone cord. This portable charger has been a life-saver for me. It holds enough to bring my phone up 90%, and it uses lightening charging the same fast system apple uses. You barely notice it is on the bottom of your phone!”
“If you have used this thigh rescue before, then you know how much of a holy grail item this is. I live in a very hot & humid city, the kind most people avoid. I always keep this on hand in the spring & summer when I am wearing dresses & shorts. It goes on smooth and not greasy. I put it on my inner thighs, and sometimes under my arms. Helps me from not chafing and staying comfortable.”
“It is a luxury these days to get away and be able to un-plug and listen to some of my favorite music. I always keep bose headphones in my bag, because you never know you will get a free moment to un-wind, or when I need to focus. These are in a splurge category, but aren’t the most expensive item on the market. They are comfy, noise cancelling, and bonus points because the battery stays charged for 24 hours.”
Here is my boat tote canvas bag I had customized for my team. Everybody says it is their absolute favorite item for working remote everyday and traveling. I linked where you can purchase these, the website will do customizations and they come in every color under the sun! I have the extra-large size pictured here.

I linked below this some more products I love to keep on hand. I have coined myself the nickname, the bag lady. When you are a busy mom trying to balance it all, somedays the best thing you can do is just make sure you have toys, fans, sun-safety, and a pick me up on hand.
I’d love to learn about what is something you can’t live without in your bag – and I hope I can find a better deal for it!

I appreciate you being here so much!
