Let’s see…. the wallet was a gift from the Coach outlet …. the planner was a work planner from Staples? Office Max? One of the two, anyway …. the notebook was a free convention giveaway… the make-up bag was from E.L.F., the charger = Apple Store, and the bluetooth was also a gift from the Apple Store. Phone, same.

Pretty boring!

Oh, inside the makeup bag? Lessee, that’s got a lip gloss from Victoria’s Secret, a Vaseline tube from ..eh… Target or CVS or something like that. Extra bobby pics because you never know when you might need one, hair ties, a little mirror, a pair of tweezers and bandaids. Because you never know when you might need one!

And of course, all of this is featured inside the beloved leather bag that I bought NOT on a budget at all. But let’s not talk about that, shall we?
