The mini bag for your bag...The Matryoshka Bag....kind of like the russian doll
As women, we carry many things because we HAVE TO! Men will never understand what we have to go thru! Just kidding (maybe not).
We also carry around many bags because...we don't have pockets. Yes, I saw that episode of Try guys about pockets. They just need keys and phone. Also I love pockets and wish we had an easier time but alas, we have to settle with bags.
I have tons by the way and use different ones for different occasions, but I hate transferring some items to one bag or forget something I needed in the other bag when taking this bag. Let me tell you...it's not efficient and functional so came up with my mini bag essentials but there are rules to it.
Rule #1) Must be small enough to fit all your bags you own.
I bought this mesh blue bag that is small enough to fit any of my bags and must be see through otherwise you're wasting your time going thru another bag. See below
Rule #2) Only put in the most essential items that you will need on the daily.
Seriously, you will go crazy of all the little things you "might" need but this is for what you "need" for everyday.
Rule #3) Ask yourself, do you need to have this mini bag.
No, really, don't create more bags than you need so unless this is helpful to you, don't do it.
So I have what you see here.
Mirror
Pads/panty liner (3)
Pills
Prescription pain killers
Make up pencils (eye liner, lip gloss)
Eyeliner sharpener
Pink round case for my earphones
USB memory stick
Tissue
lotion/hand balm/lip balm
Notebook
Flashlight
External battery charger
hair brush
coin purse (cash)
lighter
hot sauce (don't ask...stole it from a hotel)
watch (in case my phone/digital watch dies)
phone charger/plug
The reason why I chose this unattractive bag is because you can see through it and maybe you're thinking, why not a plastic see thru bag. Yes, I had one but the mesh actually helps it expand so I can add more and you can feel through the bag for an item you're looking for easily thru the mesh rather than opening and going thru the bag itself. You can find this at most stores like target or Daiso (Japanese discount store) for cheap. I also like that it has two pockets.
I realized after making this list that I forgot one thing, pens! You can never have enough of them. If you have items that you would add, please let me know.
The above is the bigger opening for bigger items and below is the smaller opening.
I've used this for many years now and it works for me but I did upgrade so it's up to you how you want to choose your mini bag.
