in the bag

I saw these posts around today and I couldn’t resist linking up, since my purse is one thing that I have managed to regain control of in 2012. So far, no straggler receipts, or gum wrappers. {I used to be really bad. I literally have 4 year old receipts in one of my purses.} But, I kicked the clutter out of my bag this year and it makes me feel really organized for some reason.  So, here is what is in my bag!

Not joking, I actually only have 10 things in my purse if you don’t count the content of my makeup bag. I am so proud of myself, it’s like kicking a habit keeping this sucker clean. I carry my wallet, reading glasses, sunnies, altoids smalls (always) hand cream, my phone, a notebook for random ideas and notes, some gum, and a pen! No random junks! No small animals! No coupons that expired 7 months ago. (don’t act like you never had that)

I, for some reason only have lip items in my makeup bag. Not the norm, I would normally have an eyeliner or a mascara at least.  And I use bare minerals as foundation, so I don’t carry that with me really ever. Too messy!

Anyway, I thought I’d link up, because these little glimpse posts are some of the most fun to me. I love peaking into all of your lives! It’s like spying into peoples windows, but a lot less creepy! (what you don’t do that?) ;) Also, I knew I’d be good to go…

Not even have a crumpled tampon to share! xox

  • I hate saying my name out loud. I don’t dislike my name, I actually like it, but I have always had this weirdness for saying it out loud. Shawn and I were watching Office Space: me- I am totally just like Jennifer Aniston’s character in this movie, you know that right? Shawn- How is that?… [Continue Reading]

  • Really, just needed to sit down and type it out for a minute. Suddenly there is a constant stream of school activity as the year winds down and I am on the go all day long. Taking care of Shawn, the kids, the house, soap, blogging, designing, babysitting, other freelance work, and I am FAILING… [Continue Reading]

  • Well I totally blew it. I probably could have kept up with it, and I really enjoyed having a prompt to use, but I just can’t be held accountable for something like blogging everyday. Plus, I sort of felt like every one is doing it, and I don’t like to run with the crowds. j/k… [Continue Reading]

    whoops! so much for blogging every day in may!

  • foaming whipped sugar scrubs! Well it’s no secret that I have had my hands full lately. I really want to get my shop open, my heart hurts when I see finished products on the shelf and not in people’s hands when I seem to have people that actually really want them!

  1. Thank you so much for linking up! I’m a new follower… Going to enter your giveaway first thing in the morning! :)

  2. How do you keep your makeup bag so clean? I have never heard of Revlon’s lip butter, sounds great! Now I need to go clean out my bag and put my makeup bag back in my purse. It’s been missing for months. Always trying to hide it from my girls who get into it every time I leave it out. :) Thanks for sharing and Linking up! I’m a new follower. :)

      Lip butter is glorious! So many pretty shades. And I try to keep anything powdery out of my makeup bag, that’s the number one culprit!

  3. I have a major purse problem. I’ve got the crumpled up tampons, 4 year old receipts, and expired coupons for sure. I’m a little jealous at how organized you are.

    • Colleen says:

      It really made me feel amazing to get just this one little area under control! My purses used to look like a recycling bin!

  4. Crumpled tampon! hahahahahahahahaha. I have like 80 of those in each purse where they’ve wiggled out of the wrappers and the cotton has popped out to render them completely useless. And the receipt thing?? IT’S SO BAD. If I did one of these posts, I would seriously have to buy a new, clean purse, clean off all the dust and other debris from my stuff and THEN take a photo. Yours looks so tidy! And I love the Jouer gloss and DUH, the Lip Butter. Tutti Frutti? Candy Apple? Oh gosh, I just have to end this out of control comment now.

  5. It’s funny you posted this because I JUST cleaned mine out. Goldfish crackers and kids socks, thank you very much!

    • Colleen says:

      Extra points if the goldfish were crunched up in the bottom! You for sure bring those babies to me when you shoot on the west side!! Yes yes! I will email you back, we totally will do dinner soon!

  6. If I were you, I’d visit my blog today ;)

    just sayin’

  7. Those are some great lip options. I’m a huge fan of Lorac. I hear ya, mine would have crumpled receipts, tampons, random half eaten breakfast bars… It’s bad ;)
