 Hey everybody, I hope that you're doing well. Welcome back to my channel. So in today's video, I'm going to be doing a what's in my work bag video. Why am I out of breath? The bag that I'm going to be showing you today is pretty new to me. This is what it looks like. I'll get into the details of the bag in a few minutes, but I'm basically just going to be going through showing you what I carry around with me every day. I know I get a lot of questions and the comments like, where did you get this? Where did you get that? So I'm going to link as many things as I can in the description box below. A lot of things come from Amazon. I think there's one or two things from Target. So I'll try, I promise, to find as many links as I can to the things I'm about to show you. Of course, the bag included. I don't think I've done too many videos like this on this channel. So if you like these kinds of videos, be sure to give it a thumbs up to let me know. Leave me a comment and if you haven't subscribed yet, I'm not going to get mad at you if you do. So without further ado, let's get started. So to give you a little bit of background information, this bag was very, very, very kindly gifted to me by the company Teddy Blake. You can see right there, that's the company. And guys, I have never ever owned something that made me feel so luxurious and I'm not even saying that just to say that. This is the Bella Vitello 12 inch handbag. It is in the color light beige, although to be very honest, it does look a little more gray than beige, if I'm being honest. But honestly, it's beautiful. It has gold accents, two little pockets inside, one big pocket. And honestly, there's so much room in here to carry whatever you want. It goes really deep, it opens pretty wide. There are two little snap buckles on the sides that allow you to kind of close it, keep it more shut and compact. But if you want to carry more things, then you obviously don't need to keep those closed. To be honest, the one thing I wish that it did have was a little buckle right in the center just to kind of keep it closed all the time. But honestly, that's the least of my worries because of how much I love this bag. So this I had delivered to my front door and one of the first things that hits you when you open the package is the smell. It is pure leather, like high quality. I don't think I have ever owned a bag that has smelled that good. If you know what I mean, is that weird to say? Probably. So let me just give you a little bit of background on the company. So the company is Italian-based and one of my favorite things about them is that they restock their collections every month. So if you go on the website, you don't see anything you like, you can just subscribe and then check back every month until you find something you like. For the most part, it's reasonably priced for the kind of quality that you get. It's made to withstand a lot and you can just feel it and feel how well made it is and how the stitching is and everything like that. They have bags of all different shapes and sizes, all different styles, and they really kind of cater to individual styles, if that makes sense. So honestly, if you're in the mood to treat yourself or treat a loved one, I will leave all the information that you need down below in the description so that you can check it out and find a bag yourself. So with all that being said, let's get started on to what I carry every day. So the very first thing I have is my wallet here. This is a Tommy Hilfiger wallet. This was a gift, honestly, so I'm not sure where it came from. But I'm sure you can find this in most department stores and online and things like that. It's not going to show you too much. All my riches. But it basically has a change purse in the middle and then two big compartments to hold a bunch of cards and your bills and all that. So this is my newest wallet. I actually got it for my birthday last month and I have been absolutely loving it so far. And I think the blue and the white is very summery and very nautical looking and I really, really like this a lot. So now as I get older, I become a fan of smaller bags inside of larger bags to keep myself more organized. So the next thing I will show you is this little Kate Spade clutch bag. Now this is meant to be kind of like a clutch slash wallet thing but I wasn't a huge fan of it because my phone doesn't fit in here. So it really wasn't as practical for me. So what I use it for now in the front compartment, I have, you know, like a chap stick. I have a lipstick in here. Let's see what lipstick this is. This is a NYX butter lipstick in the shade Root Beer Float. It's very pinky and very glittery but it has some specks of brown in there too that I really like. So that's what I keep in the first pocket and then in the big pocket I keep feminine products because there's nothing worse than being out and being unprepared and then you're like, hmm. So there's a tip for all my ladies. You can't go through that if you're always prepared. So this is one of the newest things that I've been carrying around with me and honestly it comes in the handy quite a lot. The next thing I'm going to show you is actually really embarrassing and I can't believe I'm going to show you this because it's so out of character. It just doesn't go. It's like one of these things doesn't belong. It's this. The reason it's in a Ziploc bag is because I just haven't gone out to go get another little pouch to keep this stuff in. But basically these are just like the makeup essentials that I need to touch up throughout the day if I need to. I have, let me just, let me open my beautiful bag here. So I have some concealer, you know, touch up under the eyes or if you have any blemishes, things like that. Love that. And then I carry around translucent powder now and the reason for that is because I have more sun I tend to not really wear a foundation in the summer and I usually wear like matte foundation that keeps me from getting shiny throughout the day and this summer sometimes I would like catch myself in the mirror and I'd be like, oh my goodness I look so shiny and oily and disgusting. So if I know I'm gonna have a particularly long day halfway through the day I will just throw some translucent powder on my shiny spots and it's just the cure for that. And then I also have an eyelash curler. I don't carry mascara around with me but if you just like curl your eyelashes halfway through the day it like curls them like extra curly and it just makes your eyelashes look super bomb, believe it or not. So that's all for my cute little travel makeup bag. But to go with the translucent powder obviously I need a beauty blender. So this has been one of my favorite purchases. I got this on Amazon for super cheap and it actually comes with a beauty blender. I didn't like the beauty sponge that it came with but I use my Sigma sponge one of them that I have and this is what I use. I use it sometimes for my BB cream in the morning that's why it has like a little bit of makeup residue on it but this is what I use throughout the day with my translucent powder and then this little travel bubble if you will. It's super great and it has the bubbles on it and the holes so that it airs out and it doesn't start to stink and get all gross. So I honestly I will link this down below. This is one of my favorite things that I carry in my bag. So this next thing I have I actually bought yesterday because my old one broke. It's just a reusable water bottle. It's plastic aluminum on the bottom and top. This was $8.99 at Target I believe and I take water with me to work every day refill it throughout the day if I need to and I find that when I have like a cute bottle like this that I want to carry around with me all the time it forces me to drink what's in it if that makes sense but for only $9 this isn't bad at all it is 17.5 ounces. My other water bottle was a little bit bigger but it gets the job done and it's really cute. This technically shouldn't even be in here this should be on my keychain this is just you know a little casual pepper spray because you never know and my dad got me this ridiculous bedazzled case but I always think about it I'm like if this is all the way my bag and someone attacks me like what am I gonna do like hold on let me reach in my bag and go get my pepper spray so I should probably put this on my keychain now that I think about it but I do carry this around with me all the time so this is what's been basically causing my bag to be like 10 pounds I showed you guys this book in my birthday vlog video I want to say I went to a new church and they were handing these out and it's basically the New Testament of the Bible geared towards our you know visual generation where we all just kind of would rather see pictures and things with our own eyes that are like visually satisfying and it's been made to be translated into very very simple terms that everyone will understand and you can see it has all these pictures and it's the New Testament and I will be honest with you guys I don't know if it's just been that my summer has been probably the busiest summer I've ever had I also lost my grandmother recently there's just been a lot of things happening and my faith has been suffering a little bit just by that I mean I haven't been sitting down reading the word as much as I would like to or as much as I used to so one day I kind of sat myself down and I was like you're gonna start reading again so I have been starting to read this and I'm just gonna read it from cover to cover just like a book I have my highlighter in there and let me see if I can show you my highlighting so you can see I just like to highlight the verses that I like or things that speak to me and things like that so I'm super super grateful for this book I wish I could like link it for you guys but I think I mean I'll tell you what it says it says it's the NLT translation the truth made clear but it doesn't say who makes it so I don't know how to share it with you guys completely but maybe you can try to google it word and then the truth may clear and maybe it'll come up I don't know um but if you can find it somewhere I would really recommend it if you want to read the bible and be sure to understand what you're reading I'm also a super fan of travel size products so I have these two little bottles this green one is not your mother's clean freak refreshing dry shampoo this is my favorite dry shampoo ever I do a lot of traveling and things like that and you know you can't wash your hair well I don't wash my hair every day anyway because it's technically not really healthy for your hair but especially during the summer my hair can get greasy really fast so this is my best friend and then this is big sexy hair that's the brand and it's the spray and play hair spray this was more for when my bangs were shorter and they would kind of fall in my face throughout the day and I just wanted them to stay put so I would bring this to work and when no one was around I would just like pop it out of my bag and just like really quick but it's also handy to have hair spray if it's like a human day and you want your hair to just behave or you know whatever you're having a long day so that's why I carry these so these are two of my favorite things and my hair is very unpredictable so I like to have reinforcements whenever possible all right so let's start going into the little pockets in the front and the back so I do keep two different kinds of lotion this is the pure by gloss body lotion I stole this from our timeshare in Virginia because why not and it's just a regular body lotion it kind of smells very lemony which I really like it's very refreshing and as my tan was fading and it still is kind of fading you know your skin starts to peel and get really gross so I've been using this a lot and then this is the hello beautiful let's try that again this is the hello beautiful ultra shea body cream from bath and bodyworks this is one of the best lotions I have ever smelled in my life I think this was a stocking stuffer like two Christmases ago so I don't even know if they actually still sell this scent but I basically use this for days where I forget to wear perfume slash really hot days where I'm like self-conscious and I feel like I need more perfume I don't carry perfume which I probably should look into but this acts as perfume like you put a little bit of this on and someone across the room can smell you I'm not even kidding so that is what I keep this for this is more like emergency want to smell good lotion and then this is just I'm dry and ashy I need lotion okay nothing exciting here I have a pen because you never know and then more often than not I do carry my iPad around just for you know when I find Wi-Fi I do have Wi-Fi at work so on my break if I want to watch a little Beverly Hills 90210 which is what I'm watching and I don't feel like being social I can just take my iPad and just do whatever I want also when traveling you know staying my aunt and live super like 10 minutes from my job super close and I sleep over there a lot so before bed I can watch my shows and do whatever I need to do and it fits perfectly in this little pocket there on the back I know that this is from Amazon I will try to find the link but this was also a gift from my sister but she loves Amazon just as much as I do so I'm 95% sure that she found it on Amazon so I will try my best to find it if not they have a bunch of iPad cases just like this on Amazon that you can find for super cheap and the brand of this is Finti F-I-N-T-I-E if you want to look it up for yourself oh and then for the grand finale last but not least I have this little elastic plastic I don't even know what to call this but it's a little scrunchy little hair tie and it's meant to not damage your hair or crease it when you put it up in a ponytail I just like to have it because you never know when you're going to want to put your hair up it rains your hair starts to get frizzy and you have nothing else to put it up with so I keep this in my bag and honestly I forgot that it was there but it's nice to know that I always have that there and that's it guys so like I said I've been using this bag for about a week and a half to two weeks now and I really really like it I love that it has this strap because I'm not usually the type to like carry a handbag like this but I do love having it hang off of my shoulder it's adjustable so yeah if you want to go look for a bag yourself again all the links are down in the description Teddy Blake thank you so so much for gifting me with this bag I really appreciate it and I love it so much and thank you guys so much for watching this video I hope that you enjoyed and I will see you next time
