What are the items that you always carry with you every day? 🌿 P.S. I'm back from Canada and will begin posting again twice a week! I enjoyed the break but am excited to start sharing videos again! Do you have any requests? Love you guys!
I have the basics like phone, cards, lip balm, keys, lock (for the gym) and also a pouch with pain killers, allergy tablets, pads, tampon etc and I've had some emergencies where i was really happy I brought it!
You can get Coach wallets with a wrist strap like this new at a Coach outlet for $20 without an extra front pocket (like the one in the video) or for $25 with a front pocket (I own one). I was super surprised going to the outlets with my mom thinking I wouldn't be able to afford anything in any of the stores, but I was able to pick up at $25 wallet at Coach! I got mine a year and a half ago, and I went back to the outlet a few months ago and they still had the wallets (in many more colors since they rolled out new season items). So it seems that the prices of the wallets won't change and they'll keep rolling out new items at the same prices. They have nice/popular/neutral colors too. I've seen the black wallet, white wallet, brown leather wallet, among other colors, and I own a black/white wallet.
I’ve been trying to carry a small wallet as well. The wrist strap has been coming in handier than I ever could have imagined lol! The essential cards and ID, cash, and lip balm too! I have a 2.5 year old, so I also carry a pair of 2-3T panties in my wristlet as well 😂. I keep a hair tie for each of us on a carabiner on my keys. And I always have my phone. I do keep some extra essentials in a bag in my car, but we live in the downtown historic district of our town, so we walk around a lot and I have still only been bringing my wallet, keys, and phone with the occasional tote bag that zips into its own pocket.
I just went to a small bag like this!!! What a relief. I have been a person, who had the big bag, because I just had to carry my book, and knitting. Then I had kids and had the kid stuff. Now that the kids are bigger their stuff has gone away and I found i am better off leaving my knitting at home and the book too. If I find myself having time when I’m out that’s what my kindle app on my phone is for. I have loved going out this last month with just the small purse. Simple and easy. I keep the same stuff you do. My debit card/DRivers license, cash, lip balm and there is enough room for my phone. That’s it. Love your videos
I have shoulder and back problems so I was advised by my doctor to lighten my load in my purse edc. I only carry my wallet, my lip balm, my protection for safety, and my hair tie. Game changer! I feel so much better and lighter!!
This past winter/spring I haven’t carried a bag at all, even with a toddler I was able to fit everything in my coat pockets; minimal wallet, keys, iPhone, diaper, mini container with wipes, a foldable grocery bag and even a tiny flat “emergency” kit. It was so freeing!
These days, my essentials fit in my pockets (keys, card wallet, phone and lip balm). I don't like having to bring a bag if I don't need to. The bigger the bag, the greater the amount of crap I've discovered. Haha.
Hi Ashlynne👜 My purses at one time used to be ginormous until my back and shoulders started to give me too much pain. Everything but the kitchen sink was in it. Even carried a change of clothes and ballet flats in it. Now being a minimalist I carry a faux Louis Vuitton (it's vegan) clutch the same size as your Coach clutch with my phone, keys, handwipes, mini pill container including breathe mints, lip gloss, tissues, and a mini pouch that holds my cards and id, and a small Pacifica solid perfume. I wanted to be able to put a comb in it but haven't found a small enough one yet , lol. People are amazed at what i fit in it. Your Coach clutch is pretty and black is so classy. My Daughter has hers in the embossed champagne color. The baby pink embossed one is pretty but I think it's leather and being vegan that's not feasible for me. Thank you very much for all of your videos which I enjoy immensely. Be Blessed!
In my USA wallet (yes, I have wallets for different countries hehe) basically keep my Starbucks card, student ID, some change (coins) and cash... Those are my basics Love your videos!
Hi....glad you're back! I have 2 bags also. Both are by Tignanello, both blue and just the right size for me...not big. Just the essentials, just like you, plus hand sanitizer. One has an attached wallet zippered on the front, that is a great feature. I love your brown purse and would like to find something similar. Love you too!
Glass water bottle and some snacks are essential for e whenever I go, so I need a bigger bag, but I've recently decluttered my wallet and took out loads of cards.
I don't like super large bags but I always need one large enough for the book I'm reading. Just not a fan of reading on my phone. I usually kept my wallet, my phone, a book, a pen (my current one doubles as a flashlight!), my checkbook, enough change to get by, bandaids, a bobby pin, mints, a chapstick or two, a lipstick, lotion, Tide pen, extra dog bags (in case), pepper spray, ibuprofen and Dramamine, Tums, and a fresh nap (has come in handy). sunglasses if summer and I'm wearing my contacts. And keys when I'm not carrying them. My hand sanitizer is in one of those keychains attached to it.
I always have my phone, my planner and a small pen pouch, wallet, keys, charger and earphones, a book, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, lipstick, chapstick, mints, a mason jar, to go utensils, and a snack like an Apple. That is my work backpack and I tend to use most things on a daily basis
Right now in my bag: keys, masks, 2 flavored tea bags, ink pen, wallet (ID, bank card, insurance cards, prescription card, library card for me and daughter, 2 local attractions cards for annual membership), makeup bag with lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner, planner, hand sanitizer, lotion, lighter, pocket knife, pepper spray and small pack of matches for emergencies.
Ok I’m trying to cut back on what I carry but I’ll never get down to that. For one I like to carry water and for another I also carry an inhaler, reusable spoon and straw so yeah. I keep the essentials in a pouch like that and then empty my handbag every day to make sure there’s no clutter.
I keep mine super-simple: Keys, wallet, phone, and sunglasses. Half the time I just throw everything into my coat pocket instead of taking an actual purse.
I use to only hold my phone that had an insert for cards. But, I wanted to start bringing my ereader around so I got a mini purse lol. I gotta say I loved not having to carry around purse.
Fantastic video, great advice. We both have different carryout bag styles. Maybe we'll make a video on it, but it's usually just the essentials. Phone, wallet, key(s), and some hand sanitizer. (:
I found a really neat second handbags at my favorite thrift store😍😍😍 it’s a wallet on a string or “wallet organizer” Lip balm ( I take my almost empty ones and put all my small bits into a reusable lip balm tube) small organic hand salve “Green goo” loyalty cards, eye glasses cleaner cloth, Jo Malone perfume, one refillable pen, recycled paper pieces, pack of gum, mirror, one hair tie, and all my cash and about ten dollars in coin. I only put money in the bank to pay a bill. Banks are never a good idea for long term. I never keep more than what I’m gonna pay a bill with. Plus I have paid off all my debt that way. I’m 44 own my own home no mortgage, my car is paid for also😀 I became debt free when I was 38. To minimalism is your impact on the economy as well as waste control. Debt is a bigger problem and I feel you end up becoming a slave to your possessions. Great video. I love your ideas on your channel.
I carry wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses and then little things like kleenex, sanitizer, blistex and phone charger. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible.
I can't leave the house without my phone..(unfortunately, im trying to get rid of this attachment i have), my debit card, a hair tie, keys, and my ID. As my bare minimum!
Minimalism is about buying good things that last. Not 100 hair elastics for 5$, but rather one good hair clip for $8. I really like minimalist triangle Zhooch claw. Looks cool. Lasts forever.
