What’s In My Bag

This post is sponsored by Ricola. RIIIIIIIICOLAAAAAAAAA.

Let’s take a look in my bag, shall we? (While writing this post, I thought I remembered doing something similar, and look! 2005, y’all. 8 YEARS AGO. Look at that phone! Hahaaaaa.)

whatsinmybag

As you can see, my uber minimalist days of yore have disappeared, although I still try to keep things relatively tidy. Is it ridiculous that I have a paper calendar, a miniature notepad, AND a pack of post-it notes? Hell no! I am a List Maker, remember? However it might be ridiculous that I carry with me SEVEN lip products…hey, it’s winter and I need to keep my lips moisturized, peeps. Oh, and speaking of old man winter, Ricola, the leading manufacturer of soothing herb drops from Switzerland, has added a new product to its line of herb drops, Extra Strength, for powerful cough relief, which I am sure to keep in my bag at all times during the cooler months. (Go ahead and count ’em – 7 commas in that sentence.)

Thanks to the lovely herbal drop makers, it’s giveaway time! The winner of this giveaway will receive a $100 VISA gift card and a Ricola Soothing Relief Kit! Awww yeahhhhh. Leave a comment telling me how you “winterize” your bag before Friday, December 20th, and you’ll be entered to win! Thanks, Ricola!

    For my constantly chapped lips and cracked hands, I love love love Aveeno skin relief healing ointment. But I HATE the word ointmint. *shudder*

    Lip gloss, lip gloss, lip gloss (I have 5 lip products in my purse)
    An extra set of gloves (I always seem to have one glove in my coat pocket)
    A small container of Vick Vaporub (just in case my nose gets stuffy)
    And of course Puff Plus with Lotion.

    Well, seeing as how I live in sunny Florida, I always have hand sanitizer and sunglasses in my bag. I do like to add Eucerin hand lotion because my knuckles will crack if we have a cold front. I had a terrible cold in October that left me with a hacking cough for SIX weeks. Those Ricola cough drops were the only thing that gave me some relief. Love them!
