I don’t manage to carry as much as you do but my friend the other day said I have everything you could want in my bag and I was proud 😆

[@sailorbrite]

I don’t think there is anything weird that you carry because I’ve carried or do carry almost the same things! I would be dubious of that powder sunscreen and exactly how much protection it can give you. In a pinch maybe but I wouldn’t be using it as a primary sunscreen. Maybe if you could get one of those UV cameras that show how protected you are after you apply it!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@sailorbrite thank you. The sunscreen is perfect for when I am running around or at an event. I have sunscreen in my moisturizer and foundation and usually wear a hat. If I am at a beach I will bring something reef safe and waterproof. 😊

[@conniepleasantnails]

This was so fascinating. Girl I would have grabbed the mini blade and the light to go check the backyard…lol. I’m a manicurist so I found the tiny nail clipper quite interesting. Oh one more thing, I like that you have pouches in a color that are easy to see. My small black card case can be confused with other small black pouches in my bag…🥴. The matching wallet idea isn’t so great with black in my case.

Hello, Eunice from another half Japanese gal (half Norwegian)! I also carry Japanese scissors and sometimes a Japanese stapler. They are about the size of a tall, slim lipstick.

Hi 🇯🇵gal! To get the pince nez to stay on , I push them closer to the tip if my nose. 😊

@@TheoryofSimple I’ll have to try that. I forgot to add that the scissors and staplers are from Amazon, and I think I searched “Japanese office supplies” and/or “portable office supplies.” In case you ever do an “office in a bag video,” they are easy to stick in a pencil case and they work well.

It is so very handy when traveling intl or natl. All those little items in one place! Thank you.

Can you explain a little more about how you use that?🙏

[@tmoralesdavis]

@@TheoryofSimple it's an old post-op/emergency department RN trick. The mechanism isn't really understood, but think of it like aromatherapy. And how it was discovered?!? I don't think anyone knows, just one of those handed down tips/lore. You simply inhale isopropyl alcohol while taking slow, deep breaths. My husband used to work in the OR and he said the nurses would open up a swab and lay it on a patients upper lip/under the nose to help combat post-anesthesia nausea. He suggested I try it when I get nausea with migraines. It really does work! I like that the swabs can be multipurpose rather a medication specific to nausea.

[@tmoralesdavis]

@@TheoryofSimple hey there! It's an old post-operative/Emergency Dept nurse trick. No one knows how or where it started but is just one of those old trips/sage advice that has been shared over the years.

My husband used to work in the OR and he said nurses often opened swab packet and placed the swab on patients upper lip/under their nose to combat post-anesthesia nausea.
