What's In My Bag | Minimal Everyday Essentials 2023

Today I’m sharing what I carry for a full day out of the house, whether I’m running errands, working remotely, or running around Toronto to get to the gym. This bag has been my current go-to to balance carrying around what I need, while still feeling chic and stylish, without having too much!

disgusting, just imagine all the bacteria built up !!!

[@elizabetharmstrong4108]

[@wendys528]

👜 As a driver I absolutely love it when pedestrians have reflectors on 💡

[@mash12372]

Hehe I love this comment 🥰 I think I'm going to get some!

[@sheyllamcadoo1167]

PERIODDDDTT

[@lbeard7661]

I also have two dog tags on my keychain from two dogs that passed away - one in 2018 and one in 2019. ❤

[@qurandailydua]

For anyone reading this, IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY. I pray that whatever is hurting you / whatever is constantly stressing you out will get better. May dark thoughts and doubts leave your mind right now and clarity and understanding replace confusion. Peace and calm to fill your life.♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@nicolemoreland6257]

👛 I agree with the smaller wallet to prevent unnecessary clutter. I do that too!

[@RichardHollowell-xk6ct]

Up no

[@lbeard7661]

I got a Ridge wallet. I really can’t get anything extra in it. 😂

[@fancynancy2888]

I am also a safety nerd so I will have to buy some velcro reflectors 😊 Thanks for the tip! By the way, awesome job weight training on leg day. You inspire me!

[@tarski7420]

Thank you!! And beautiful purses 👛 A couple other daily essentials for me: mints, hand sanitizer and travel pack of Kleenex for these colder months :)

[@donoghsgirl]

Yes! Specifically Altoids Cinnamon.

[@katerynahrushenko-ds9bt]

This laptop sticker "I love Ukraine" gave me such a warm feeling. Thanks!

[@ravenglebsky9404]

Same for me! I really appreciate this ❤

[@xxtiamide]

I have had my eye on a couple of the Songmont bags, so I would be interested to see another video focused on Songmont :) Always love a whats in my bag video!

[@paoliiina396]

👜 I really like the new old trend of what‘s in my bag videos!

[@kerstinka21]

Thanks 👜 Totally love these videos 😊

[@Surreal452]

I am seeing Merit makeup everywhere these days. I bought their solo shadow on Sephora for my birthday on impulse and can’t wait to try it. Very on-brand for this minimalist-ish channel!

[@lisatomko1319]

Love this drippy tote. So chic!! 👜

[@donoghsgirl]

👛Now I know what I'm asking Santa for this year! Love the Luna bag!

[@Christinamychas]

Ohhh awesome! It’s genius how versatile it is!

[@Squishbiscuits]

Now that it’s been a few months, how do you feel about the bag?

[@RaenasClassiques]

@@Squishbiscuits I actually don't like it. It's stiff and not very convenient to get into. I sold it on Poshmark.

[@Squishbiscuits]

@@RaenasClassiques oooo that’s great to know! Can you explain the “difficult to get into” a bit more?

[@digitaldorothy]

Whaaaat I love the Luna 🥹🥹🥹

[@christinelett4355]

👜Fun to see what you carry around!!

[@dianaburchell]

I was just thinking about this over the weekend and hoping you would post an update soon! 👛👜

[@Patricia.castro84]

Loving your videos! Very useful and helpful watching your great content, since this time a year is when I do my wardrobe review ( what still fit, what to donate, what do I really need to by). Congrats on your work!

[@Christinamychas]

❤️❤️

[@jessicamcleanGG]

Wow, the Luna is incredible

[@marcelineleee]

I love your tote bag!!

[@c.catlover4080]

I am the same way about my "kids" (animals). I am so sentimental that it is hard for me to let them go. I have stickers, keychains, lockets, candles with their picture, etc. I miss them all so much.

[@YB-ed9nh]

Sun stick brand is pronounced like sai nic. It’s name is from science + clinic according to their Korean website. Thanks for sharing your everyday carry. Can’t wait to see your next one!

[@emmerodriguez1549]

Love the purses 👜 😊

[@Carmi15]

thank you for introducing me to this very chic brand! 👜🎉

[@matchapawda]

i have the exact same luna bag in the color jade 🫶

[@acminkus]

Beautiful purses 👜. And yes to reflectors. I’ve been wanting to get some for a while. Think I have found some on Amazon. Very similar to yours!?

[@zubryta]

Love the video and Muji 🔝

[@melicitalicious]

Would like to know your thoughts on the diva cup! I have something similar but found it hard…

[@donna25871]

Beautiful bags. My work one is nearing the end of its life so time to upgrade.

[@ArAmInCa]

Hi Christina....was wondering if you could do a short video on how to tie the belt on the back of the trench like you have in the video here? When I do it it looks so messy. Are there different ways to tying it? Lovely video as usual.

[@brandyclarence]

I've been loving the lip oils by Brush on Block. Have you ever tried their products before? I know they mainly do mineral sunscreens, but they also have these lip oils in really pretty shades that also contain SPF. The color Fig is my absolute favorite!

[@Christinamychas]

I'll check it out!

[@brandyclarence]

💖@@Christinamychas

[@ecem4204]

hey! I really liked this bag and found something really similar, nearly the same , so I bought it. however, if sogmont holds the design right/license to this bag design, divarese in turkey produced nearly the same bag design fyi.

[@kaciwright6951]

Can you do a what's in my bag for the Luna purse. I'm interested in this purse but would really like to know what all would fit into it before purchasing.

[@Infrawgnito]

Those glasses!!! I MUST HAVE!!! (is there a link for them? I can't seem to find them online anywhere)

[@Christinamychas]

Rayban wayfarer

[@karolinabraga6618]

These are gorgeous! How much can fit in the luba bag? Would you recommend the medium size? Also, in Europe we cannot workout barefoot or in socks, usually there are signs in gyms that say it’s prohibited😅

[@taylorferguson5461]

👜 the little purse in the big purse is the way to go!

[@Zamazizi]

👜 I love these type of Videos

[@jessicamcleanGG]

Lol the pharmacist in you is showing with your products. I bet the skin products you have are incredible and work overtime. Thanks for the great share. Xox

[@Merlin-ss2vu]

I reallty enjoy your what's in my bag contents!👜 The sunscreen stick brand is pronounced "psy-nic", it's a Korean brand and they are pronounced like that in Korea

[@user-ku1jh2gf9u]

I 💙 Ukraine sticker is precious. Thank you for your support!

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Mmmmmmm suede is my favorite!!💜

I know we're here for your bag but can I just say your delts are looking great!

[@Christinamychas]

HAHAH - the specificity of the delts makes me so happy 🫶🥹 thank you!

Sun stick is not available anymore. 😥 At least not here in U.S. on Amazon.

[@Christinamychas]

Try beauty of joeson I heard their stick is nice!

[@HopingForever]

You're very kind. Thank you!@@Christinamychas

[@lisamckay5058]

I'm not sure where my purse emoji is. I know where my purse is, though. It's in a massive duffle bag that I've been using while commuting downtown. I can't just switch over to the duffle because I still have no-commute days and just want my Travelon crossbody purse.

[@Christinamychas]

Love it!

[@lindseye2750]

Can you link your favorite leggings? I’ve been looking for new/better leggings for workouts so I’d appreciate that!

[@bbellebe]

👜 tissues are a must 😂

[@cynthiahunter6588]

👜 I have a 2 purse system....a larger bag for everything I'll need if I do t have it and a small grap and go coordinated cross body. A boyfriend once dumped them the satellite and the mother ship

[@moniquemoreno8742]

👛Christina, would you rebuy the YSL wallet? I am looking to purchase the card wallet from this brand and wanting feedback from someone who uses their wallets every day! Thanks for the great content!

[@Christinamychas]

I would! I will note the gold on the YSL logo is starting to tarnish in a tiny spot which is sad, but it's a good wallet. Def paid for the name haha. It's good quality but I think a leather wallet from anywhere will do the trick.

[@JRC76444]

❤

[@Randilynn66]

Funny I just bought about seven bottles of the Scinic sunscreen to give as Christmas gifts.I think it’s pronounced like cynic

[@shammyw.1152]

[@jessicap8468]

Random question! Do you wear a bra with your Aritzia bodysuit? I have a hard time wearing mine because the cut of it shows my bra, and without a bra, I feel exposed 🥲

[@Christinamychas]

I don’t but if you feel that you can try nippies! They’re great!

[@yolandalopez8117]

love the bag not the price tag

[@shannonpflueger8608]

The Songmont bags look gorgeous however their return policy is frankly appalling (only 7 days?!) and I will not be spending hundreds of dollars on something that is essentially non-returnable (plus custom fees and shipping costs are not refunded)
