What's in my handbag? An Honest Account!

I have read so many of these "what's in my bag" posts on so many blogs and have always been like "ya right!" you have a perfectly organised, clean and tidy bag!!! Are you even female?? or some blogging robot!!!???

Then I met this lovely blogger Rianne Mitchell and read her "What's in my Bag?" post! Have a read and show this blog some love!!! This is an honest look at a handbag and after a chat she inspired me to do one too!!!
From "researching" this topic I also found a Stevie Nicks "What's in my bag?", which I kinda liked, read it here.
And of course the Zoella vlog where she finds a forgotten "surprize" inside.

So here goes:

(Disclaimer: I carry my life in my bag! Everyone always asks what I carry around with me!!! It will probably cause my back damage it's so full! At least I can beat off any future attackers with it!! Read on at your own peril)

First my bag is from Primark, I liked it as it is kinda flat so not too bulky to start with but it holds loads! This is my everyday bag, it gets a bit abused, (sorry bag). But I thought it a bit plain so I tied a Primark polka dot scarf onto the strap!

It also has a few compartments which I like to divide up my belongings. It makes everything so much simpler!!!

1.      Keys pocket

Makes life easier if you can find them quickly, especially in the rain!!!

2.      Make-up pocket

I don't usually bring my make-up bag out with me unless I'm staying out overnight or on a night out.
This pocket holds the essentials; lipstick, eyeliner, lip balm, Baby Lips,Vaseline, Carmex, Maxfactor Powder and brush and my toothbrush! (Gotta have my toothbrush just in case!)

3.      Tampon/pad pocket self explanatory!

I also keep bandages in here just in case I need then, this is a compartment I don't want to get dirty and crumpled, obviously!!!

4.      The vast void where everything disappears!

• Diary/Life Organiser
• Little notebook
• Purse (also Primark)
• Nail file
• Painkillers
• Umbrella (It has been kinda wet recently also Primark)
• Soothers  "sucky sweets" (it is winter)
• 2 half packets of Chewing Gum
• A lolly pop (Thanks Dad!)
• Anti-perspirant
• Phone
• Phone charger
• 2 and a half pens (who knows where the other half is!?)
• Ikea pencil
• Tissues
• Palmers Hand Cream
• Some lose change
• A diamanté ??
• Safety pins, you never know when you might need them!!!
• Someone else's car key (now this was a surprise find as I emptied my bag to write this, oops sorry)
• Camera
• Bobby pins
• Bobble
• A small torch
• Gloves (in case I get cold)
• Receipts... from everywhere groceries, make-up, tea...
• Crumbs... lots of crumbs and lint!! This annoys me, I mean where do they come from it's like they follow me around the house no matter how much I clean!!!!

On occasion (more than once a week) I will also have:

• A travel mug with me as I am about to have or have just finished a cup of tea!!!
• Bottle of Water
• Fruit, loving kiwi's recently
• Crackers (little snack)
• Mini pack of baby Wipes

This is what a real female handbag looks like!!! I apologise to any men who actually stumbled upon this... the mystery has gone!!!

Hope you have enjoyed reading this honest female account of the contents of a handbag... My Handbag! I should really tidy it more often!!!

Please share your bag contents with me!!!
