I understand the loss of a pet that is part of your family. One of my pets passed in February. She was with us for 16 years. Thanks for sharing.

[@summerevening2215]

Your videos are so calming. Always happy when you post. X

[@makeupTIA]

Thank you! Love your username. : ))

[@rachels9747]

I love your videos, they always come at the perfect time. You are, by far, my favorite youtuber. I just love your calming presence. Thank you!

[@dianagarciahunter9450]

Sorry for your loss. Great video-happy you're back. 💕

[@brittanyfreeman9101]

Yay! I love these videos of yours. I’ve got the Madewell medium tote in Spiced Rose, True Black and the Saddle brown color. Love this size so much! The black is very classy and works well for work. I’ve been loving this new physicians formula lipgloss. It is a velvet matte and works like lipstick and stays on much longer than regular lipstick! Thanks for sharing!

[@colleenbarry1708]

I'm glad to see you, Ashley! Hope you have a relaxing weekend! 💕✨

[@thejulietocean]

Love your videos, Ashley!!! It was so nice to watch a new what’s in my bag vid! 💕 Something about them will always be comforting and fun to me!

[@musicalmedli]

What's in my Bag are my favorite types of videos. Gives me an idea on exactly what I need to pack in my bag especially when I have a toddler and a newborn on the way. Love your tote and your videos. Always so peaceful and calming!!

[@waitingforfall7803]

I'm so glad you posted about the medium transport tote. I have shoulder issues so this is the size that works best for me and it's still so versatile. Agree with you that the pocket on the front really makes the bag. I own the black and hope to get one in the English Saddle as well. I can't leave the house without my Soothing Touch lip balm (I get it at Sprouts) and my Soap and Glory Hand Food hand cream. Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@125strawberry]

Thanks for your videos Ashley! I have been watching them for years from Australia and I’m currently in the US travelling and just bought this very bag today - my fourth Madewell bag. I love the ones I have thanks to your recommendations!! x

[@cindyf.8713]

Hi Ashley! I always love your “what’s in my bag” videos. Love Kristina Braly’s videos too. On days where I’m running quick errands I only carry my phone, small wallet and keys inside a small crossbody purse. I have the large and small transport bags. I’ve been eyeing the medium one for a while and wasn’t sure I needed another purse until this video. The medium seems like a good size for work. I also like the small wallet and will definitely consider it for a future purchase.

[@emic138]

i’m so sorry about the loss of your precious kitty! i know how painful that is. 😔 hoping that sweet memories and time are bringing you peace. 💕

[@HannahBMann]

Missed you Ash!! Thank you for sharing the contents of your bag especially your pouches and organization. Front pockets are a necessity!! I’m sorry about Momo; I had a Momo too. Kitties are each their own personality and there will never be another like the ones we lost but we were lucky to know them. See you in the next one. Be well!

[@BeehLuvs3]

Lovely bag! Very chic & classic! Also like the clear pouch...now I am on the lookout for one! I always have the need to carry a small planner & notebook w/ pen.

[@joellechiara]

funny timing. I was just thinking about getting a new bag and I was wandering through Nordstroms today and was super distracted by something but I remember seeing this bag sitting and thought it was super chic and modern and it stuck in my head so I came home and didn't even go to the 'search' bar and here your video is! I think I'll go back tomorrow and get it. xoxo

[@myumyumyu8227]

Great to see you look better. Thank God you are fine like this. Momo is always with you. From one of your fan, from Japan😊

[@JacksLorraine]

I like what’s in my bag videos, too - both making and watching! It allows us to be permissibly nosy. 😉 A staple bag item for me is my miniature Swiss Army knife. It comes in handy so often!

[@Lizthegreat91]

I have the same reusable straw and i love it! I also carry the cleaning brush with me to clean it on the go.

[@christhomas5219]

I am so glad to see you. I missed you. Your videos are so relaxing. I love your style.

[@maliamaley]

I've missed your videos so much! I am so glad you are back!

[@ceecee7879]

Aaahhh a Bag video; my weakness . But seeing you again brings such joy 🥰

[@illbeyourwendy]

Wishing you all the love as you grieve!

[@Guinea-life]

After thinking on it for months, I just ordered this bag in green 😀. Love the black too!

[@makeupTIA]

Yaaay! Hope you love it too. The green is so gorgeous!

[@rmir7419]

Love the video! Your parent's kitten is adorable!

[@rlb224]

Have this exact bag in brown, and actually it was one of your videos that inspired me to check it out. I don’t have a Madewell store that’s local to me, but went to Ohio and found one. I absolutely love my bag and love how it’s changing color as I use it.

[@HildieMcQueen]

Loved this video!! I always keep antibacterial gel and lens wipes for my glasses

[@neshmahenkel2428]

I love Madewell, my favorite is the one at Short Pump Mall. Their customer service is great. Might go tomorrow. Always enjoy your videos.✨

[@lorrainegavagan3035]

I have the mini transport bag in cognac and the medium canvas bag in green I love them both ! I must have a small brush, and my ray ban sunglasses 😎 and a small bath & body spray my favorite is cherry blossom ! Loved your video and I love Madewell bags 💼Thanks 😌💐

[@MelindaStacer]

I love what’s in my bag videos. If it’s important enough to carry with you it sort of double ms as a favorite ms video too. My bag essentials are lip balm, Benadryl (thanks good allergies,) and a mini multi-tool. I have a leatherman Style CS, it’s small and folds out to a pair of scissors which are so handy!

[@das_ein]

Great video! Many positive suggestions. 🤗 2 straw comments: 1) Glass straws can also be bought (I found mine at Whole Foods). Just find a thin pencil case-like box to carry it. 2) In Seattle, Starbucks no longer gives out straws by default so their iced drinks come in a new type of cup that has a lid. I think it’s great. And one Baggu comment. I keep a bag of those kinda of bags :) in my car so that we always have one if needed. So easy and doesn’t take up much space.

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

Perfect timing, I'm purchasing the saddle color and a pair of sandals for my b'day in June 😘 hoping it will be part of my summer uniform ☕🌼 thx for sharing

[@brittanyfreeman9101]

Deb InPEI I’ve got the saddle color. It goes with everything!

[@sunfloweralkh]

I saw that hallmark movie you talked about. I also liked it too😂

[@lynnconroy8]

I always love your style.

[@cdgmalone]

I love “unleashing mr Darcy”! Great hallmark movie

[@LisaBeetsKS]

You just made me create a new folder (Wish List) in my library, lol. I DO have Mother’s Day and a birthday coming up 😉

[@MB-km5hh]

I didn’t even know your name until this video! So sorry to hear about your kitty- it’s always so hard to lose them. Thanks for the book recommendation!

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Everyone! Thanks for watching! In case anyone is curious - out of the Madewell bags I own, the Zip-Top Transport Crossbody is my most-used. This medium size is a close second. : )

[@krishnako2416]

Hi Ashley, take you change to the bank, they count it and deposit it into your account for you!

[@susanwright134]

I have the large zip top also. I didn't use it this year as a winter bag, but will start next season. Just giving it a break. Mine is black with brown handles.

[@ceciliachiman]

So happy to see you posted! I am always excited to get a dose of your calm enthusiasm too. xoxo

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks for watching, Cecilia!!

[@ceciliachiman]

@@makeupTIA Thank YOU for sharing! On that note, I have seen you mention using a wish list to curb impulse purchases several times -- do you mind sharing what your wish looks like, what's on it and how do you pick what to purchase when you have a long list?

[@makeupTIA]

@@ceciliachiman I think I showed it in my last planner video, but I'll definitely share an updated look at it soon! I break it down into categories like KZbin/Photography, beauty, gifts, and random. It helps to create some space between wanting and buying. It also helps to stop me from going into stores just to see if there's something I like, you know? I'll go in with a list. I'm definitely not perfect, but it has helped tremendously (especially during my no-buy month). : )

[@kymmer116]

I have the last straw too got it bc of KB as well. Ordered it from amazon.

[@abigailthaliaclark-morgan9108]

Yes!! TFD - they are fab and I really look forward to their videos, even though I'm in the UK, you can still gain a lot!

[@makeupTIA]

Their channel is so well done! Do you watch any other personal finance channels? I also like Lydia Senn.

[@abigailthaliaclark-morgan9108]

No , I have not come across any others so I’ll check out Lydia - thanks!!

[@hellensutley1229]

So good to see you! Can’t leave home without: lip balm & Kleenex (allergies) Always love everything you recommend. I appreciate how thoughtful you are about your purchases. We should all take time to consider our purchases.

[@makeupTIA]

Yes!! I'm right there with you, Hellen. Just bought packs of Kleenex at Target this afternoon. : ) And thanks for the kind words. Having the wishlist has helped curb impulse purchases a lot.

[@jessicaash4152]

Soap & Glory’s Hand Food... i seriously have one in every bag so I’m never without it lol

[@waitingforfall7803]

Yes to that! I can't go anywhere with out my Hand Food and some lip balm.

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

Best! Day! Ever!

[@onewithbooks17]

I typically carry all the normal items most women do. My must haves are tissues, hand-wipes, a pen, my small cosmetic case, keys, wallet, lip balm, and phone. I also like to carry a small notebook, panty liners, toilet seat covers, shout wipes, and a small pair of swan scissors. The scissors fit in my cosmetic bag and they come in so handy. I also keep a small pair in my car console.

[@Laurenr5]

You look beautiful, Ashley. I’m so glad to see you here! I was sad to hear about Momo. Our fur babies are so special. ♥️ P.S. No shame on those Hallmark movies. The world is already a dark place - we need things that make us feel happy!

[@sanilam.8008]

Might you possibly know the name of the Hallmark movie? It sounds interesting.

[@Laurenr5]

Sanila M. It might be Unleashing Mr. Darcy? A quick google search pointed me in that direction. 🙃

[@sanilam.8008]

@@Laurenr5 I'll check it out, thank you!

[@queenofopulence2538]

Thank you for another wonderful video. The product I cannot leave the house without is my Vapour Organic Beauty lip gloss in crystal 360. It is beautiful. I can use it on my lips, eyes, cheekbones, hair fly-a-ways, or cuticles. It smells like sweet fresh fruit. I'm addicted and in love. Please try it! It will not disappoint. I hope to see it in an upcoming video. I would love to know your thoughts. I think it's a forever favorite. I think it would pair nicely with your love for One Love Organic's cleansing oil.

[@robynkahle7240]

I love your videos and I still feel so sad about your kitty. I am so glad your Mom’s kitty is over visiting.

[@SRoberts815]

LOved seeing what’s in your bag! Mine is constantly getting out of control with random stuff :) Re: the hormone balancing supplements and their cost... my recommendation might be to find an herbalist you can work with on a personalized protocol. So many of us have slightly different needs when it comes to balancing hormones, I worry that a one size fits all supplement wouldn’t be the best use of money compared to personalized advice. (Especially since you have thyroid issues, that might change your herbal needs a bit.). Good luck continuing on your wellness path! It’s great to see more of us realize the importance of taking care of ourselves 😍

[@hanciastefanski7860]

Hello Ashley, Madewell just came out with the zip up version. I am on my way to the store 👜🍁

[@Annelisemr]

Please do a Madewell bag collection! Would love to see everything you have!

[@neshmahenkel2428]

Annie Avila agree

[@robiny1508]

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beloved cat. Nothing compares to the pain of losing ones pet.

[@HeyItsDom7]

Your sound is so great, what do you use for audio? Thanks for sharing! I've been looking at the Madewell bags and it's on my wishlist! :)

[@jenntruong6023]

I like Coinstar too but didn't know you could exchange for an Amazon gift card! I always just use it to get cash! I need to try that the next time as I shop on Amazon somewhat frequently! I missed out on that bando + Starbucks collab; That is super cute!

[@lovetolove011]

Loved this video!!!! Where is your pop socket from?

[@lindseyhyer8686]

Would love to know where your camera case and strap are from. Love your videos.

[@jaquelineflores4901]

I know it hurts when you put a pet down. Like alot of people decide to wait on getting another pet for a while. But the best way we found to fix our broken heart was with another little furry one. It feels like its too soon but its not. We had to put down our golden retriever of 15 years it was the hardest decision in my life but he was dying already they gave him a couple hours but he was in so much pain we ended up putting him to sleep. It hurt so bad i lost a piece of me. Our neighbor adopted an abused dog and gave her to us like a month after our baby was gone. We didn’t want to. But it helped the healing process so much.

[@vickip54]

For the stainless steel straws Amazon also sells the colored silicone tips for those who don’t like the steel taste or feel.

[@makeupTIA]

The silicone tip sounds like a great idea. Thanks, Vicki!

[@das_ein]

VickiG, Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t like the taste or feel of stainless steel so this is very helpful.

[@laurieharnach8785]

Can't go anywhere without my portable back scratcher

[@Coffee-Makeup-Stationary]

Tide pen! I need it, husband needs it, kids need it! Because...we are messy. 😂

[@Sahar1011]

Love all your video!! Can you let me the name of the supplements that you were talking about that you want to try, thanks

[@squirrellove123]

Please do a video about growing out bangs! I’m struggling!

[@MsBoxtet]

I'm so sorry about Momo!! Pet loss is so difficult xxx

[@onjerraslist]

Please also review the new version of zip top transport crossbody mini. 😊

[@LauraEmilia]

Hi Ashley! I’ve been watching your channel for awhile and really enjoy your videos about your bags. I was curious to know how you keep your Madewell bags from getting scratched up or if you know how to remove them? I have a couple of Madewell bags myself and always worry about scratches and because of that I typically tend to go for the Black Madewell bags rather than the English saddle. Thanks!

[@eliebellie]

i can't leave the house without my water bottle :)

[@BeehLuvs3]

Hi hun, do you experience color transfer from the black interior onto the items you place inside your bag?

[@queens6583]

I have to have a lip product and it so happens that I have 2 of the BB crushed liquid lipsticks in the colors Juicy Date and Give a Fig. They are beautiful and feel great on the lips and feel like a balm. I will miss seeing your furry baby, Momo. So sorry for your loss.

[@lovesmashbox]

Your mothers cat is cute . We just lost one of our 8 cats. He was born on st Patrick's day 2005 and died st Patrick's day this year . My husband and i went to a cat too . I love watching your videos. ❤

[@NaturallyBeautifulGirl]

I absolutely love your blouse in this video. Where is it from?

[@margaretmoreau3047]

Hi ashley, I love your floral zip top pouch but you didn't write where to purchase it. I'd love to get one if you can let me know where to order.

[@eshah3060]

Hi Ashley, can you share what camera/microphone you use to make your videos and edit them?

[@sophieli8640]

Can you please please tell me where did you get that camera protector? I have the same camera and I am so tiered carrying those huge camera bag...
