Whats In My Bag

Since I shared Simplifieds’ Instagram post about emptying your purse and making a little bag of essentials, I shared with you that I already have a bag of essentials in my car. Well, now you all want to know whats in that bag. Haha. I like to keep this bag separate from my purse for a few reasons. For one thing, I change my purse frequently. Secondly, the Hubs keeps NOTHING in his car so if I’m with him, or take his car, I don’t want to be stuck. Lastly, if I go with someone else, I can grab this bag, throw it in my purse of the day, and go knowing I have everything I need. I am all about the “Just in Case”. Let’s get started!

I feel like the word itself co-insides with the word “diet”. A diet is temporary, I don’t want temporary. I need a lifestyle. I try to add onto things I’m already doing to make my life easier, more enjoyable. Let’s get started!
