What’s in my bag – Winter Edition

Winter is all about feeling cozy and nourished. And sometimes all of that needs to be carried around in an extra large shoulder bag! And ofcourse, come summer I have reduced my everyday go a tiny top handle ;) + a few cotton tote bags for my round year favs!

Sharing what I have in my bag during the winter months!

  1. Planner & Stationary: I love this vertical daily physical planner to keep with me always. I like to be able to jot down activities, plans or to-dos as needed
  2. Camera: Whether it’s my Instamax or my DSLR, I like to have a camera because I want to be ready when creativity strikes
  3. Water Bottle: Winter means dryness, so helping my prevent that from the inside out
  4. Jewellery: If it’s not on my hands/fingers, then I’ve got some stashed in my purse. Whether its an extra set of hoop earrings, rings and bracelets, I like to have options
  5. Literary Entertainment & Annotation tools: I once read a quote about never leaving the house without a book under your arm, I take that advice very seriously
  6. Change: Yes I’m a Woman in Tech (and usually pay with my phone/watch/digital wallet), but having some form of cash on me just makes sense (random coffees or treats for the kiddos)
  7. Hydrating potions: a few Sephora products because they are just that good (and required for the cooler months)
  8. Everyday Essentials: Nail polish, extra hand cream, claw clip and nail necessities.
  9. Handbag of choice: A little tattered but still loyal… my LongChamp has gone the distance!

Happy New Decade!

Happy New Year/Decade everyone! Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog, thoughts and motivations over the years (or even just today!).  I definitely plan to continue creating content that resonates with me and you in hopes of helping those who choose to be here take the positivity and inspiration with them into own their lives!

I figured I’d pop on here and quickly post about my New Year Resolutions :)

I’ve always been a big believer in goal setting.  I love sharing what I’ve learned about goals, motivation and productivity over on my Instagram and Twitter and here on the blog as well (check this and this)!

So for this year I am looking into developing a better skin care regimen.  I drink a lot of water and eat my greens but I think I need to pay more attention to vitamins and the products I am using on my skin.  Of course continuing my wellness journey is top of mind as well.  I got a pull up bar for Christmas and I’ve already started a new workout program.  Wellness also includes my mind / soul and making time for meditation and yoga is key for me this year.  Also looking to increase knowledge and really explore and share my purpose. Lastly, I want to be a leader and not hide behind my fears.

More Selfcare | Less Careless
More Purpose | Less Panic
More Leading | Less Hiding
More Knowledge | Less Scrolling
I saw this great blogger do #LessIsMoreGoals and I thought it was an innovative take on New Years Resolutions
