What's In My Bag? A Smooshy Melted Snickers





Let's talk about things you see on, let's say, Instagram that you don't necessarily find to be all that true for a moment. Take the #whatsinmybag trend that Sarah so hilariously explained here, for example. Who are these women and why are the insides of their purses so immaculate?

So, then I went and mangled through the monstrosity I refer to as my purse and my hand brushed against a melted, flattened, smooshed Snickers and realized I'm playing in a completely different ball field than these other chicks over here. Let's take a gander, shall we?
Three: the number of koozies I have in my bag. Why? I like to party, I guess.

Bottom right corner would be the compilation of garbage just hanging out in my bag. Minus the Monopoly scratch off... that's worth $5.

Don't forget the melted Snickers and questionable dinner mint.

Also, like Sarah, I have a spare iPhone case and no idea why that's necessary.

And then there's the 90's Nokia that clearly doesn't work, but if it did I'd be all over Snake. All day, erry day. What can I say? I'm one nostalgic little peach.



An empty birth control pack. Because that's definitely something I need to save.

Then we have Advil (For hangovers, duh.) and my little pill case I put my vitamins in (because I'm old now and it's the responsible thing to do).

Donald Duck over there is a Disney annual pass holder, except for it's empty because my pass is in my wallet. So, really that's more garbage.

A memory card, for when I take pictures with my purse. Or not.

A Big Ben condom from Scotland... which was a gift from bear.... which is ironically placed next to the empty birth control pack in this photo. I wish I could say I purposely did that.

Eyeball juice. Because my eyeballs hate me.

Matches... because I like free stuff.

A USB plug. With nothing connected. You never know.

Eight products designated specifically for my lips. Looking at this photo, that may be slightly excessive. Maybe. 

Beach Babe hair stuff. Entirely purchased and tossed in my bag because of the cute, small size. I don't think I've actually used it more than once.

VS body spray... ain't nobody got time to stink. 


Probably my favorite part of this would be the tangled, broken necklaces I found. There are two and they are just hanging out in there.

Bobby pins. All of which I found spread out over bear's apartment when he moved out. Oops. I guess I'm that girl now.

Hair bows. You never know when you're gonna need to slap a bow on something. 

Tangled up Erin/Whit bracelet. From my first trip to visit Erin. Aka like 6+ months ago. 

Cards. You can never be too prepared.

Old grocery lists. Very important, as I'm sure you all know. 



And there you have it. The disaster that is what's in my bag. You're welcome.



Now, on to important business. #backthatazzup.
Except today my jam isn't exactly one you'd #backthatazzup to, but I love it too much not to use it. Oh, and if you want to get all emotion and sappy, just go ahead and watch the music video... amazing.

    I heard this song a couple of weeks ago when I re-watched the season 9 finale of Grey's Anatomy in preparation for season 10. I guess I didn't notice it the first time around . . . . but I am IN LOVE!

    This is a much more accurate representation of a normal girl's purse! Mine probably looks very similar minus the disney pass (jealous) and add like 5 dollars worth of change.

    I took a picture of what's in my bag the other day, it wasn't much but I did have an old grocery list and a pair of my daughters socks. I mean you never know when you'll need to try on shoes right.

    I'm contemplating getting the Disney annual pass. Is it worth the downpayment and monthly fee?

    Which one did you get? The one with free parking and all that jazz or just the cheapy one?

    What's with the the extremely old phone in your purse?! hahaha
    I actually just cleaned my purse out at my desk. Expired coupons and old receipts everywhere. I also had a smashed Mambo candy at the bottom with a blonde hair intertwined in the wrapper. Tasty!

    A few things I need to state for the record.. what the fuck is that phone doing in your purse? Also, you didn't cross wine off of your grocery list. Should I be concerned? That's all.

    This cracks me up! And also makes me curious what all I would actually find in my bag... probably something similar with a few baby toys, maybe a sucker, and probably a zillion bobby pins. SMH!

  • October 4, 2013 at 12:00 PM

    Oh and lip gloss x 20 - even though I have a little pouch for lip gloss and lip stick, I tend to still find them throughout my entire purse!

    This is exactly why I switched from purse to wristlet. I never understood why I would clean my purse to find crumbs among all the receipts and straw rappers and 5 chapsticks.

    Yes, just yes!! This is more like my purse!! You know they cleaned out their purse and left out all the random stuff! I totally keep a BAG of lipgloss in my purse, but I never know what color or flavor I may want. I am a girl, I can change my mind! :)

    This is brilliant, so good to know that I am not alone in lugging around actual crap all day! No Snickers in my bag, but I'm sure there are some Starburst wrappers, empty Birth Control, old lists, and soo many vitamins that my bag sounds like a baby's rattle (I ALWAYS forget to take them!) xx

    haha yes! i recently switched to a smaller purse and cleaned out my bigger one. it was slightly terrifying... i mean, all of the receipts could have once been a small christmas tree.

    happy friday, lady!

    Umm....I think you need to clean that thing out more often! haha You are definitely prepared though. ;)

    LOL! I love it- glad I'm not the only one who has a mess of random, old candy, lists, and 5 billion things to put on my lips!

    Also- can I borrow your Disney season pass say... in February? Thanks.

    This is amazing and I love it. Mine is usually a compliation of receipts and trash from montttths ago. And random tile and fabric samples, you never know when you need to design something at the drop of a hat.

    So...did you eat the Snickers? Because I found a peanut M&M in my purse and I was SO tempted to eat it but I refrained...but I wouldn't judge you if you ate it. Maybe just the tip?

    I just changed over to a new purse last night, felt good to get rid of all the garbage and nonsense in there... Until of course it starts to pile up again in the new purse, haha!

    What's with the Nokia??

  • October 4, 2013 at 2:50 PM

    People who do those posts are lying. They have to be! haha
    Everyone has at least a gum wrapper or old receipt or something in their bag. Also, there is no f-ing way I'm going to have designer sunglasses worth hundreds of dollars floating around my purse! They would be smushed in all of 5 minutes. Plus nothing that has spend a good deal of time in my purse looks nice at all - like these pictures they take where everything looks brand spanking new!

    Sighhhh ;)

    It's pretty much the best thing to see a Nokia phone still in a purse.

    I would probably need two separate post to go over everything in my purse. I kid you not. Oh and I always have koozies on me at all times. AT ALL TIMES!

    I did this after a friend told me to join the trend, but I don't think I'm going to share. Mine is WAY worse than this. Like most of it is garbage. Just keepin' it real, I guess.

    This is definitely the most believable "what's in my bag" post. I never understand how other ladies have 0 trash in their bags.

    My only addition would be lots of hand sanitizer, a random pull-up and some boogie-wipes. Clearly I'm a catch.

    I have always been hesitant to do this because of the VAST number of rando things in my bag but this makes me feel better and maybe now I should!
