What’s in My Bag: A Peek Into My Girly Essentials
There’s something so personal and charming about what we carry in our bags. It’s like a mini survival kit, a collection of little luxuries and must-haves that keep us feeling cute, confident, and collected wherever the day takes us. Whether you’re heading to class, brunch, a day of errands, or just romanticizing a solo coffee run, here’s a peek into the girly essentials I always keep in my bag.
Lip Products (Because One Is Never Enough)
You’ll always find at least three lip products in my bag—gloss, balm, and something with a tint. I rotate between a clear high-shine gloss, a moisturizing balm like Laneige or Aquaphor, and a sheer pink tint that adds just the right amount of color. Lips are mood-setters. Period.
Hand Sanitizer (But Make It Cute)
Aesthetic packaging is a must. I always go for a mini sanitizer that smells like vanilla or cotton candy and doesn’t dry out my hands. Bonus if it clips onto my bag or has a keychain charm—it’s all about the details.
Mini Perfume or Body Mist
A small travel-size perfume roller or a mini body mist is my confidence booster. I spritz it whenever I need a reset or just want to feel extra soft and fresh. My current fave? Something floral with a hint of warm vanilla.
Hair Clips, Ties, and a Scrunchie
Messy hair, don’t care—but also… kinda do. I always carry a silk scrunchie, a cute claw clip, and a few bobby pins just in case. They’re lifesavers on windy days or when I want to switch up the vibe mid-day.
Compact Mirror (Preferably Heart-Shaped)
Because checking your makeup in your front camera isn’t always the move. I keep a small mirror with me—extra points if it’s pink, pearly, or bedazzled. It’s perfect for touch-ups or catching a little golden hour glow.
Gum or Mints
Minty fresh breath is non-negotiable. I always have a pack of gum or cute tin of mints, tucked into a side pocket. It’s one of those tiny things that makes a big difference.
Mini Notebook or Journal
You never know when inspiration will hit or when you’ll need to jot down a quick affirmation. A small notebook—preferably pastel or floral—is always with me. It keeps me grounded and creative on the go.
Hand Cream
Soft hands are the ultimate soft girl vibe. I carry a travel-size hand cream in a dreamy scent like rose, lavender, or almond milk. Bonus: it doubles as a subtle scent refresher throughout the day.
Blotting Sheets or Compact Powder
Especially in summer, I keep a few blotting papers or a pressed powder with me to keep shine under control. It’s one of those quiet confidence hacks—less shine, more glow.
A Random Trinket Just for Me
Whether it’s a crystal, a lucky charm, or a tiny plush keychain, I always carry something that makes me smile. It’s not functional—but it feels good. And sometimes, that’s enough.
Final Thoughts
What’s in your bag says a lot about you—and for us girly girls, it’s more than just stuff. It’s softness, style, and little pieces of comfort we carry with us every day. So the next time you reach into your tote or purse, remember: your bag is your mini sanctuary.
