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.)
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!

December 18, 2013 at 8:49 amNot just extra lip balm but a tube of Neutrogena hand cream or Aquaphor ointment is essential at this time of year!

December 18, 2013 at 8:54 amI’m sure to have Rosebud Salve for my lips (and hands, in a pinch), sunglasses, and gloves on hand at all times!

December 18, 2013 at 9:01 amBag Balm people! Look into it! Unless you’re carrying around a small clutch, a Bag Balm tin will fit in your purse and is one stop shopping for hands/nails/cuticles/lips/face! Kleenex brand tissues make cute girly pattern tissue packets, so I’m a sucker for those. I’d like to add some Ricola to my purse stash, as sore throat/upper respiratory season is lurking around the corner.

December 18, 2013 at 9:09 amGreat post Sarah! I always have much the same in my bag…lots of glosses and balms, lotion, kleenex, gum, sunglasses, and of course my phone and planner/calendar. I have to ask though what is the name,brand,color of the lipliner in your bag? Is it revlon also? Looks like one I’ve used by them called ‘natural’. Just curious:)

December 18, 2013 at 9:13 amWinter for me involves gloves and definitely lip gloss/balm of some kind. New England winters can be harsh!!

December 18, 2013 at 9:31 amI always always have at least 2 tubes of Burt’s Bees on me. Winter/Summer/whatever. I’m afraid it’s an addiction. In the winter I make sure to have a small pack of tissues and some gloves!

December 18, 2013 at 9:46 amA pack or two of tissues is a must, along with some lip balm (Woo Babylips!) and a cough drop or hard candy. The nerdy singer in me still cringes at the transition from COLD OUTSIDE to HEAT INSIDE. :)
