Exhibit A
I suspect that a lot of you are like me and love when celebs get quizzed about what’s in their make-up bag / shower / handbag. I love finding out what unguents people use, fragrance they spritz and stuff schlep around in their handbag.
Now, my keen interest isn’t just limited to what products celebs tote around. I love a nosey through my mates’ stuff too. So just for fun I thought I’d show you what would fall out of my handbag if I turned it upside down.
a collection of 'can't leave the house without'
Clockwise from top left:
My little toilet bag. This lives in the front pocket of my bag and houses the essentials. Travel toothbrush and mini-sensodyne. Ibuprofen tabs. Nail varnish remover wipe. Glass nail file. Tampax.
Grazia. Publication interchangeable. Could be a paperback.
Carmex. My desert island essential. If I leave the house without it, I’m hopping mad like Yosemite Sam!
My Radley wallet my mam bought me as a present.
Radio walkman. I scroll up and down that dial like the day is long.
Ray Ban Signets.
L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream.
Hairspray. I have hair that DOES NOT DO WHAT IT’S TOLD. When it’s sprayed, it sulks and usually finds a way to move all over the place a few hours later…
My Moleskin. To-do lists, work shifts, moon phases… I have to consult this at least 5 times a day!
There’s only one thing missing… my iPhone. And that’s because I used it to take the photos.
No make up. Well I do fling it in sometimes. But I’ve learned that even if I do put in a lipstick or two or concealer I rarely ever top up my make up. If it doesn’t go on in the morning, it aint making a show for the rest of the day.
So now for yis.
Share your hand bag contents below. Ah do, go on!
(BTW – the title of the post was inspired by a news story that made me howl with laughter a few years ago. Ofcom slapped the ITV quiz channel ‘Play’ on the wrists for making answers to a question too obscure. Viewers complained after two answers to the question “what items might be found in a woman’s handbag” were revealed to be balaclava and Rawl plugs. Gas!)
