hi guys so today I'm doing something
that has been pretty requested which is
what's in my purse video
I love these types of videos so I'm
really excited to do it today
I'm starting to build my purse
collection and so I was looking for
something that I could wear with pretty
much anything I wanted like a more
minimal chic purse that a little bit
smaller so the person I'm talking about
today is this one from Ana solo I bought
this one and I think that it's just
really cool because it's just something
that can go with anything very minimal
very chic goes with my wardrobe it comes
in a couple of colors and I had a really
hard time figuring out which color to go
with but I figured the black one is such
a classic that I'll have forever
I don't won't get dingy or anything like
that so much there's a few features that
I really like about it it's got like
this magnet enclosure it's very small
but not like too small I could fit a
book in it if I wanted to and there's
also a little pouch in the back too
there's also a zipper on the inside and
I really like the fact that the inside
of this is not like this raw leather
it's actually like more of a polished
leather feel that you have on the
outside so all of those were like really
redeeming qualities plus it's adjustable
which is really important because I'm
smaller that it actually doesn't like
reach the floor and I can't reach what's
in my purse which has happened before
another like smaller feature is that
these little adjustable brackets here
are like a brass which was just really
pretty and a nice touch so I was
actually talking with some of the people
from the solo today just chatting about
like life stuff and a girl I know they
just got back from Paris she was
travelling abroad which is just such out
of my bucket list to do but anyways I
was talking to her about how I'm about
to do this video and she was like well
let me give you guys the discount so um
I have a 10% discount for you guys today
from them it's called dearly 10 and I
can link all of the information down
below in the description but it's good
for like if you want to get 10% off this
bag or they've actually got a sale right
now that's going on it's like an
end-of-season sale and a couple of my
favorite pairs of shoes are in there so
you could get an extra 10% off of that
so just really cool I think it goes
through Friday but I'll just
all the official text down below so I'm
just kind of a cool thing that came out
of all this so now let's actually go
into what I put my purse so in this
small bag I am putting in just a few
makeup items one thing that's really
cool I've talked about it before is this
Lila bee lip cheek duo I just think it's
so beautiful I'm wearing it right now on
my cheeks and my lips I'll get into more
lip stuff in a second it's just got like
a really nice kind of dirty it's just
got a really nice color to it and it's
just in the shape of this cute little
river rock and it's like a ceramic it's
not like a plastic or anything and I've
dropped it before hasn't broken so I've
just been really happy to always have
something like this something like this
is really good to it I think it's more
forgiving on my skin then even like a
concealer if I just have to bring one
thing with me this is definitely it so
for lips I do like to layer more than
one lip color at a time and so if I
really want to look spiffy I'll wear
like a red lip with the color that I
have underneath that just gives me a
little bit more of a flush of color I
feel a little bit like tired looking if
I don't know wear like a little bit of a
brighter lip but that's probably just
like my perception recent discovery has
been this Burt's Bees lip balm that is
actually ultra conditioning it's in this
like silver cap and it's with kokum
butter don't know what that is but it's
100% natural and it's for our
moisturization so I've been using this
for the past couple days and I've just
been really impressed with it I've used
the Burt's Bees chapstick before and it
always just kind of felt more like
beeswax and didn't really help me with
like dry lips and stuff but this one has
been super moisturizing and it kind of
looks like a lip gloss just like a hint
of lip gloss so I'm very happy with this
so far I actually asked you guys on
Instagram for like what's in your purse
like let me talk about it let me mention
it and I would say out of all of the
comments lip balm has been the number
one thing people said they have in their
purse and I don't blame you because I'm
right there with you so onto perfume I
always carry a little perfume with me in
my bag so this one has the coolest
it's from la la bow and I just love all
of their perfumes this one is in rows 31
it's a solid it's refillable so you can
use this little thing like for years but
it's like this little Swiss Army thing
but it's great because it's like sturdy
in your hand you're not going to drop it
or anything and it just feels really
cool when I use it so I use the perfume
that is rose 31 it's my favorite out of
all of the samples I've gotten from
Malabo I've gotten it in a detergent
like I'm obsessed with rose 31 yeah like
this is really good too if you just want
to give a gift to someone they have very
like unisex scents that are kind of
spicy they're just so amazing I love to
carry a little perfume with me and
having it in a solid means as long as my
purse doesn't overheat or anything I'm
going to have like not a mess in my
purse whereas like a perfume bottle
might break if you are daring though you
can use a perfume oil I love to use
these things like right after a movie
theater like after a movie or something
like that I went to a premiere and this
was really fun to keep in my purse
I just wanted to smell like more fresh
like after the movie so I dabbed some of
this on this is mace on Louie Marie
number 4 Bois de balón court which has
the most amazing smell it's like all of
the scents that I love into one scent
and this one was sold out for a long
time like a year so just a lot of people
love this scent I did get quite a few
other samples from Mesa and Louie Murray
just to try out and this one number 11
which I will butcher the name of so I'm
not going to try I probably already have
with others I like to wear this scent
when I work it's just kind of weird I
like to have one sent for while I do
something and then when I smell that I'm
like oh I should be working right now
it's kind of a life hack so at any point
I'll be wearing one of those three
perfumes and I will keep it in my purse
just one of them at a time but at any
point I'll be carrying one of them next
is a nail file I'm really good at like
trying to take care of my nails make
sure that my nail polish is on real good
but sometimes I might have like a little
snag or something through the day
just drive me bonkers so having a nail
file and file is really great another
really handy
aromatherapy technique is to have these
little essential oil roll-ons so this
one's been frankincense and actually
bought this when I was having like a
little bit of like an ear infection and
my lymph nodes were kind of swollen and
stuff so I would use this on it like
around my ear and on my lymph nodes and
on my neck and it actually helped a lot
in my opinion but the uses of this like
frankincense is not only good just as a
room of therapy and like stress and
anxiety relief but it's also supposed to
boost immunity and it also is supposed
to like calm inflammation and pain so I
like to have this on hand and just to
carry to my purse is really helpful so
next is sunglasses I've been really good
about having sunglasses on outside
mostly like even if it's cloudy I'll put
my sunglasses on just to help me from
like squinting and I have protect my
eyes of course and it looked great so
this pair is from list specs and it's
more of like a trendy shape right now I
also have a very classic pair of
sunglasses from Ray Bans that's more of
a round shape but these ones are really
great for like if I just want to look a
little bit fancier because my purse is
smaller I downsized the case that I put
it in and I just get one of these little
cloth ones so that it doesn't get
scratched up or anything
so next of course is my phone I love
this phone so much it's the iPhone 10
and it's like I forget the color but
it's the silver white one yeah this one
I've been such a fan of this and it's
been great to have the extra storage too
on my phone that's been such a lifesaver
I do try to always remember to bring my
phone charger a lot of people have
really spiffy cases for their phone
chargers but I like to just wrap mine up
in this particular way I've learned it
online so you throw up you're a rock
hand and then you just twist this until
you get about halfway so I'm just like
twisting it in between each finger and
then you actually take this extra cord
slip your finger out of that and then
wrap it around like that
and then just this end piece I like to
tuck in at the end so it stays secure
and that's how I carry my phone charger
next is earpods I love these things I'm
a big geek about them again it uses the
same exact phone charger so that's just
one more way that my life is in order
next if I have room in my purse I always
try to bring my film camera this one is
the Olympus Stylus epic so a couple of
things I love about this one one is that
it won't take photos in my purse because
it's got this little open and closed
feature which just makes the camera turn
off if it's closed in my purse so that's
really great because that would really
suck to get all of my film pictures back
and they were just you know black they
didn't turn out also what's really great
about this is that it takes what is
supposed to be like the best
point-and-shoot film photos out there so
I've been really happy with this as I've
gone on trips it's great you know if you
haven't seen somebody in a while and
you're just like running errands and you
know you can take a selfie or ask
someone else to take a photo of you guys
in a very classic way that you're going
to keep for a long time or just like
have a candid photo of your lunch that
day while you're with a friend or
something like that makes your days more
special and memorable that way okay I
have loved this little tiny mini pouch
for a few months now it's from the solo
and I actually think that it's the
perfect size for like a change purse but
what I like to do is I keep this little
business card holder in the pouch so
that all of my cards are together and I
can just pop this out it's actually got
a reflection here so it helps me to like
use it as a mirror so I always have a
mirror on hand and then you know I just
keep like my Kroger cards and whatever
else in there
so in here I'll keep a little bit of
change I also have like these little
pressed pennies from Disney world that I
love this one's Winnie the Pooh
any other change that I have in here I
always find a reason to keep some on
hand so also if I can fit it or I really
need it that day I'll bring this little
lint roller with me I love that it's
something I can just have retractable
and
refills for but I usually just keep this
in my tote or a bigger bag okay another
little cute gadget for these hot summer
days is this little fan it plugs into my
phone and it costs about like five bucks
but it's just so much fun and this is a
really great present too if you're
looking to buy someone like a really
small gift or part of a gift this is
really fun next I love to have my own
pen with me because any time I'm signing
for something that I'm buying I don't
want to use someone else's pen because
especially like when it's like flu
season I just do not feel good about
that so this is kind of helpful for me
to have on hand it's a really cute pen
I'll try to find it online for you guys
but it's been fun to have in my purse
too next is a band-aid because you never
know when your heels are going to really
start hurting from your shoes or when
someone else needs a band-aid so it's
nice to just have something like that on
hand doesn't take up like any space okay
next I love to have some mints on hand
and these little Altoid smalls are so
much fun and I love the flavor of these
I've always loved Altoids but they come
in like these little minis too which is
just really nice so it's perfect for
like throwing in your bag so next you
guys might know what's going on in my
life right now but I love to carry on a
little bit of chocolate with me and this
chocolate bar is like my favorite it's
great for like really tough moments in
life or when you're a little bit extra
hungry or like every four weeks or so
the endangered-species chocolate bar is
like my favorite so I can eat like half
of the bar and it's only five grams of
sugar that's actually an 88% cocoa which
is pretty dark but I really appreciate
having like a rich dark flavor to
chokolate so another cool thing about
this chocolate bar is that ten percent
of the profits are donated to nonprofit
partners that protect and preserve the
wildlife plus it's yummy so a storm just
rolled in so sorry about like the
lighting changes that might be happening
right now
but I did want to talk about the other
things that people said on my Instagram
post on great ideas to keep in your
purse so things people keep in their
purse a book hand
sanitizer a water bottle super-important
hair tie blotting papers some people
said sunblock few people actually and
that's really good two glasses I always
bring glasses with me when I'm going to
a movie theater because if we sit like
too far back I just can't see anything
a notebook some hand lotion and a couple
like reusable things like a reusable
straw and a reusable shopping bag so
those are really good ideas and hair
clip so yeah I hope this was really
helpful like if you're trying to think
about everything that you could possibly
bring with you that day to like make
your life easier I just love that type
of stuff I hope that this video was fun
and that you liked it give it a thumbs
up if you did and I will see you guys on
Friday bye
