- Advair. I’m asthmatic, sexy I know, and sometimes I forget to take my preventative medicine so I carry it around with me.
- Jumbled headphones for my iPod.
- iPod. I carry this around more since getting my car, it has an ipod outlet which I use on the regular. Yes that is me singing loudly in the small blue car next to you.
- Small Nalgene Bottle. I go this a couple years ago with a pack of bigger nalgene bottles that I used to pack shampoo and conditioner while I was abroad. Now I use it as a pill case. Currently it’s full of ibuprofen and claritin.
- Ecuadorian Coin Purse. I go this at a small market in Quito where they hawk tourist-y goods. I bought a few scarfs but only had a large bill and the guy didn’t have any change so he told me to add a small item to even it out. Incidently I probably use this more than any other thing I bought while in Ecuador.
- Camera Cord. I don’t usually carry this around, I think I stuffed it into my purse after uploading my last blog post.
- Random Pens. Pens seem to come and go in my bag. Sometimes I have a ton and other times I have none. The purple pen is from our vet and the others were probably taken from around the house/ stolen from my mom.
- Wallet. I got this wallet a couple years ago from Urban Outfitters. I like that it’s slim, looks like a clutch and has a crocodile texture with shiny gold interior.
- Work Badge for my Sometimes Job. Since I’m currently working (until the end of next week) this has made it back into my bag. It lets me get into my job and permits me to traverse the hidden bowels of the mall.
- Rescue Inhalers. I usually carry only one of these but I couldn’t find my inhaler with the lowest number of puffs a couple weeks ago so I opened a new one. Now I have two in my bag. It works better like this because if I take one out to use and leave it around the house I always have one in my bag. Isn’t asthma fun!
- Ice Breakers Mints. I use these occasionally and sometimes they really come in handy. I had a job interview a couple weeks ago and I don’t know if it was stress/anxiety or dormant impending illness ( I actually got sick a couple days later) but I ended up throwing up before the interview. Luckily I had these babies on hand. TMI? I know, I know.
- Bert’s Bee’s Chapstick. You know that awful time when you really need chapstick and you don’t have any? I hate that, so I carry one with me at all times.
- Tweezers. You never know when you catch a glimpse of yourself and your about two hairs away from full on wolfman or woman. I am always prepared for those situations.
- Random business card. I stuffed this in my purse while in a moderately priced Vintage (pop up?) store last Sunday.
- Black Power Pick. Yes I carry around a black power pick, I’m (half) black I can do it. Ironically my (white) mom gave it to me as a christmas present a couple of years ago when I went natural.
- My purple non-iPhone. Last year we downgraded our phone plan from smart phones to just phone and text, this is one of the few phones you can get that requires no data plan. It’s actually kind of refreshing not to have a smart phone. I had a crackberry and was on it all the time, now I’m not constantly checking my phone. It’s actually kind of freeing. The only downside is the camera on my phone really sucks and since I don’t have an iPhone I can’t enjoy some of the cool iPhone apps or join instagram and have vintage-y looking pictures of my cats, shoes, food etc. Not constantly being on your phone also opens your eyes to the sometimes incredibly rude ways people use their phones.

Mad for Mad Men
Image Via AMC If you like television like I like television, which is perhaps a bit too much, then you’re probably just as psyched for the return of Mad Men today. I didn’t actually start watching Mad Men until 2010, I’d heard so many good things about it and its style but just hadn’t put […]
EPIC Thrift Haul!!
So I had kind of an epic thrifting day last Thursday. Even though the Savers I visited has been open since like October I hadn’t visited until last Thursday. It wasn’t for a lack of want, just that it’s a bit far away from my usual thrift haunts and my house. Anyway after reading positive […]
Shop Your Home
Shop your home is a phrase I first heard on the Nate Berkus show a few year ago. It refers to changing up your interiors by moving furniture and home decor items from their current locations to different areas of your home. It also refers to re-discovering things packed away in basements and storage. […]
Spring is in the Air
Shirt: Kohls Cardigan & Scarf: Vintage Tights: Target Skirt: Thrifted (orginally target) Shoes: Gifted Earrings: PLNDR It’s been increasingly warm these last few days in good ole Minnesota, which is incredibly rare. Last year round this time we still had a thick wall of snow. It seems though that the amazingly mild winter we’ve […]
And I’m Back
Shirt and Jeans: Thrift Cardigan: Vintage Earrings: PLNDR Shoes: Target Finally an outfit! I got my camera back last week but I was sick most of last week and didn’t exactly look or feel camera ready. Anyway I didn’t actually wear this outfit today I wore it in January/February during my forced hiatus. But, […]
Happy International Women’s Day! Feliz Día de la Mujer!
image via google Three years ago I was introduced to International Women’s Day while abroad. Oddly before then I wasn’t really aware of the day. It wasn’t until interning in Ecuador with a battered women’s shelter, La Casa Matilde, that I even knew people celebrated it. The first time I celebrated it La Casa […]
