👜

This exercise was as much a mystery to me as to anyone else.
Book (Family Meal by Bryan Washington), notebook and lamy fountain pen (this alternates between my handbag and my bedside), regular wallet, loyalty card wallet, Film camera and film (a recent addition), umbrella, floral mirror, hand cream, vocalzone, paracetamol, sunglasses, black tulip perfume, glossier cherry balm, Mac red lipstick mini, plasters, Clinique black Cherry, a coffee shop biscuit, a red rollerpoint, skin oil, beauty blender, wired earphones, assorted rubbish including empty stamp book, laptop repair receipt, used sandwich bag and many charity shop receipts. All just about encased in my red Radley handbag that i got on ebay (in its original dust bag!) for £15.

A bag is a changeable thing

https://www.pi.fyi/ask/cltaylari0ff1v25xmmqu35bh Here's a whole thread of what's in people's bags from last month, including my own usual bag. However, a woman's bag is an ever changing thing, and today I just so happen to be using a different handbag to last time, and it thus contains new unseen rubbish (I cleaned out my usual bag after the last bag rec, and now will do so on this one). It contains:
Wallet, bought for me by caskeyc Red Moleskine (I've just come back from writers club) Red Lamy fountain pen Black biro Pair of black cat eye sunglasses Two very old half finished packs of chewing gum Half used Cerave moisturiser tester Old La roche-posay suncream Bejewelled fiat car key with watermelon keyring Set of keys with jellycat dragon keyring, holding many keys, a library card keyring, and loop earplugs Huge pile of rubbish, including many Juul pod cases (I quit over a year ago), and the lid to my perfume that I thought was long gone All inside of my second most used bag, a green mini Ted Baker shoulder bag that I got for £7 at a charity shop.

Just so much stuff

2 pairs of black sunglasses (1 cat eye and 1 rectangular), 1 pair of seeing glasses, 2 lipsticks (almost identical in colour and also consistency), 3 sachets of cold and flu medicine, 1 bottle of ibuprofen, my purse, 1 inhaler, my moomin water bottle, a very old mask, a phone charging cable, a small pearly coloured claw clip, my headphones, a comb with a spiky end, a sharpie (covered in pomegranate juice), chewing gum, hair bobble, post office receipt, the address of a dj I returned some headphones to, a library info flyer. All squeezed into my favourite bag ever (I like it because it has a C on it and my name starts with a C and I also got it monogrammed with my initials)
