Phone,perfume spritzer, advil, lipstick and my wallet. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful tote.
Other than the usual (wallet, sunglasses, keys, pens, cell phone,reading material, water bottle and too many lipsticks to count), I have a Princess UniKitty from The Lego Movie light up key chain. My nephew gave her to me. I use it as a flashlight and she always makes me smile.
Carmex and my phone!
My son’s inhaler and candy for me!
I’m a basic wallet, phone, and keys person with the phone being the most important. I once got stranded with a dead car and no phone and swore that I would never end up like that again.
I always have my Kindle, of course!! I also have a whole bunch of other stuff I probably don’t need, but I love tote bags just so I know I have room for whatever I’m reading at the time. I just did a Twilight series reread, and those books take up quite a bit of space, let me tell you! Lol
Thanks for the chance to win!! Love y’all!!
Oy my purse is so filled that I don’t even know how I could pick one thing, but some of the biggies are advil, a pen, a spare diaper for my toddler, and some chapstick.
My knitting is always in my bag.
I never leave home without a tube of Kiehl’s lip balm. I’ve been using it for years and it has ruined me for all other lip balms!
chapstick. one can never leave the house without chapstick
A cloth to clean my glasses and chapstick.
I never leave home without my wallet and blistex,and something to read. Thank you for the giveaway—that bag is gorgeous!
A cloth to clean my glasses and chap-stick.
Boring answer, but my cell phone and a portable charger.
Other than my phone and wallet (and knife when not flying)? A couple things: lip balm – usually Bert’s Bees; pain killer; and ponytail holders. All are completely necessary to make it through the day.
I always have my lip balm and baby nail clippers to take care of hang nails before they snag on anything.
I would say the color is sea foam green, so pretty!!
I always carry around a mini pharmacy, some emergency makeup, and a travel deodorant. I’m not functional in the morning so I’m always running out the door to work and forgetting to take my prescription meds, put on mascara, or put on deodorant.
Aside from credit cards, I always carry lip balm. BTW, this is my favorite color!

Wallet, phone, and kindle are necessities.
lately, it’s been tissues. I’m in denial about having allergies but I really need at least a pack hidden somewhere, if not a pile of paper napkins taken from restaurants.
I never leave without my debit card.
I never leave home without a book. Or my Kindle if I don’t have a physical book I’m reading.
My wallet

A small knitting project (usually a sock).
hand sanitizer! i’m paranoid that i’ll need it somewhere that doesn’t have it
Zyrtec for my allergies, and Kleenex!
The essentials for any bag – must fit my keys, purse (or at least credit card and some cash), phone and KINDLE.
Providing these fit, I can expand to add a lip balm, folding brush and my ziplock medical kit. If I’ve still got room then the miscellaneous junk that finds it way into every bag may migrate as well.
Great give-away!
Earbuds and a k itting project
Wallet, phone, earbuds, and knitting project
Smartphone and lip gloss!
Oh, good lord, my purse is one of those “ready for the apocalypse” things with everything from tea bags and a first aid kit to a multi tool and fabric swatches… It sounds trite given the blog, but my Kobo and the ability to charge it are ALWAYS in it. (bring on the apocalypse or deserted island, I have a SOLAR charger and a fully loaded e-reader! :))
Thanks for the giveaway!
I always make sure to have my phone, wallet, and chapstick! I can take anything on with those things!
Miniature swiss army knife, because you never know when scissors, nail file or screwdriver will come in handy…oh…and I always have a few bandaids, because knives can be sharp!
Water bottle – I get anxious if I don’t have water with me, especially when I have to ride the subway. 😛
Other than that, either my ipad or my phone, ’cause they are both filled with books and kpop 😀

What a lovely bag!
I don’t leave home without my wallet and my bus pass.
Always have to have my phone!
Nothing exciting other than the normal phone/keys/floss/chapstick.
Cute bag! 🙂 Thanks for the chance.
