Whats that weirdness in your purse.

I tend to carry bags that are a little too big for me, I know I'm not the only one out there, but it is kind of funny to get asked questions like..."How can a girl so small, have that much stuff to carry around?" or "That bag is bigger than you!". Well I'm not sure why I carry around huge bags, I just like to shove stuff in them. But no matter what I always keep these few things in my bag at all times, so if the bag doesn't fit these things than I wont use it! Now mind you, most of these things aren't the normal old wallet, keys, makeup, Advil, hairbrush types of things that are found in my bag, but  are my random "extras" I keep with me. So in other words this is not a full "Whats in my bag?" tag.
                                             Here is the bag I'm currently using:
Its a NEON highlighter yellow crossbody bag that I found at Target. It is made of some weird type of plastic faux leather stuff and has an adjustable strap so you don't have to wear it crossbody if you don't want to. I have also been using it as my everyday bag so some of the stuff I wear clashes with it, and I really don't care, so :P

The first thing that is always in my bag is,
Well first few things are a pencil a pen and a highlighter. You never know when you'll need them. The only stupid thing is, is that I never have a mini notebook or journal in my bag so if I need to write something down then I dig for 20 minutes looking for a receipt or something. *note to self, get a notebook dumbass ;)* oh and the Ink Joy pens are AWESOME!!! They write so smooth.

On to the next thing:

Hand Sanitizer and Hand lotion. Another normal thing in a women's handbag. For some reason gas pumps gross me out so I always use hand sanitizer after Ive touched one and the lotion is for the obvious reason of combating dry hands, although I sometimes put it on if I'm bored waiting in line somewhere.

Im sure alot of lady's carry this next thing in their bags
Food! Doesn't have to be a banana, but some type of food. I just happened to want a banana that day. Sometimes I have healthy stuff and sometimes I have 5 candy bars and a fruit roll up in there. And if I'm going to the movies Ive had a cheeseburger or two in there once or twice. haha


The last thing is kinda stupid but I know some people carry lucky charms with them, whether it is a picture, a quote, a Buddha or other figurines or whatever by my "lucky charm" is this

A freaking poop bag! Bahahaha yes a poop bag. I am accident prone and drop stuff and brake stuff and everything else so even if I don't have my dog with me I'm going to need this bag to put something in that busts in my purse or bloody napkins from a skinned knee I just got or whatever else you can think of. Its not just for my dogs poop. :) Almost everytime I forget to put a bag in my purse something happens to the point that I would need one then I'm basically screwed. haha I know right, What a weirdo?! 

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS POST. DO YOU HAVE ANY ODDBALL THINGS YOU KEEP IN YOUR BAG?

Soap and Glory

I know there are tons of hand lotions out there and once you find the perfect one for your skin you tend to stick with it. That's how I feel about my Aveda hand relief lotion. That stuff is amazing, It lasts through at least 3 hand washings! But that is another post all in itself.
   There has been many great reviews about the Soap and Glory hand food lotion, so I put my aveda lotion on  hold for a moment, drove to my local sephora..drove back home because they didn't have it and bought the small 1.7OZ bottle of Soap and Glory hand food on sephora.com. :0)  The 1.7OZ retails for $5 US dollars
This is a creamy, thick lotion that is made from macadamia oil, shea butter and marshmallow. I had no idea what this lotion smelled like so when I saw it had marshmallow in it i was like yeah its going to smell like sugar :)
Well...it doesn't smell like sugar...I think the macadamia oil overpowers any marshmallow in there and I swear there is a hint of a flower scent mixed in. I had my boyfriend smell it and he said it smelled like flowers too. I'm not fond of flower smells but this smell is on the lighter side so I can deal with it.
Since I cut hair for a living right now, my hands are always in water,therefore; they can become dry easily. This lotion feels nice it was applied, it absorbed fast and did not feel greasy. It left my hands feeling silky smooth  but, it only lasted through one hand washing as compared to 3 from my aveda lotion. It also has a large list of ingredients and a few of them are parabens. I have only been using lotions without parabens because they are "supposed" to be bad for you (i don't know if they are, but I'm just taking a precaution). I did not look at the ingredient list prior to purchasing this lotion. 
 If you want your hands to feel silky smooth  than this is a great daily hand lotion to use.If you have a job like mine that you have to wash your hands constantly this can work for you, but you will  have to use it a little more throughout the day. As for paraben free...not so much, so if you are on the hunt for paraben free lotions than this is not the one for you...if you could give two shits less about them then go ahead and try it out. It does make your hands feel super soft. :)

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS PRODUCT? IF SO,WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
