What’s in Your Bag? Linkup

It’s time to get permissibly nosy with the What’s in Your Bag Linkup.  :D

If you don’t have a blog:

1) Upload your pictures to a picture sharing website, like Photobucket.
2) Insert the html code right into the comment.  (If you’d rather do a link, that’s fine, too.)  Hint: the html code starts with <a href but it should give you an option to copy the html code.  Try to make sure that the picture isn’t absurdly large or it’ll eat my website.
3) Type away!  :)  (If you need help, holla at me in the comments section or on Facebook.

If you do have a blog:

1) After you’ve published your blog post on your own blog, click at the bottom of this blog post where it says “Click Here to Enter.”
2) Enter the URL of your blog post.  For example, the URL of this blog post is http://www.nicegirlnotes.com/whats-in-your-bag-linkup
3) Add your blog name under “caption or title.”
4) Enter your email address (not displayed.)
5) For your picture, click “From Web” and you’ll be able to pick whatever picture from your post that you’ve uploaded.
6) Click on “crop” and you’re done-ski!

Feel free to add this sweet little banner to your blog post.  It’s hyperlinked so your readers can click on it and play, too.  :)

One participant (blogger or non-blogger) will win this Elliott Lucca Cordoba Satchel.  Please read this disclosure carefully: By entering this contest, you will automatically be entered into the sak and Elliott Lucca databases for future emails.

You can find Elliott Lucca online, on Facebook, and on Twitter.

NGN disclosure: I have not been compensated for product placement in this blog post.  Elliott Lucca did send me the Lucca Large Zip Wallet for review, and the Cordoba Satchel to give away.  I previously purchased the Elliott Lucca Sena bag on my own.

Okay, my bag.  Which I probably need to clean out.  Ahem.  :)

This is my Elliott Lucca Sena.  I bought it last year, and I love it.  The leather feels awesome, and the bag has held up so well (and I’m not gentle with my bags.)  Elliott Lucca has incredible customer service and really good sales, so I’m a little bit of an EL devotee.

And all of the contents spilled out:

Note: I love my kitchen table and it is very rustic looking.  But it also looks like tiny elves tap dance on my table every night.

Okay, I gots: two notebooks when I should only have one, my Lucca Large Zip wallet that I use every day of my life, a sweet little lacy bag from Lazy Mondays, and a huge makeup bag.  I usually don’t carry a huge makeup bag in my handbag, but I had it with me for my trip to DC and never switched out to my teeny makeup bag.  Little hair clips, a toy comb, an empty box from Twice Treasured that I love because she made it herself, mini crayon rolls (two, so they don’t fight in whatever restaurant we are).  Some hair ties, a bobby pin, bangles, hair stuff from Lush, business cards, a Pilot G2 05, a mini tub of Playdoh, smarties, a wipe for my phone, ear buds (the ouchy kind), and keys sans a key fob (remind me to get one; I lose these at the bottom of my bag all the time).

Inside the mini bags:

Crayon rolls unrolled with well loved crayons inside.  I use the Lazy Mondays bag to hold ‘allergy emergency’ stuff – a single serving of Benadryl, an Epi-pen, and an inhaler.  I will kiss the ground the day my children no longer have allergies (and am hopeful).

Usually there’s a million receipts stuffed into this, but I just cleaned it out.

Two Essie nail polishes, cheapy mascara (insider tip: I buy super cheap mascara because I throw them out every month or two), tarte tinted moisturizer, tarte cheek stain, Nars blush, an eyeshadow quad from Smashbox, amazing moisturizer from Sprout, a little skincare boutique out of Brooklyn, more stuff from tarte because I love them, another bobby pin, and an eyelash curler.

In reality, on a daily basis, I just have the tarte cheek stain, Sprout moisturizer, and a lip tint of some sort in my bag.

{Edited to add: in the interest of full disclosure, I just found these in a zippered pocket inside my bag…}

A sample of body lotion I got at some event, fluorescent pink lip gloss, a baby hair clip, and some bobby pins.  Also, I usually keep my phone in my bag, but I used my phone to take all of these pictures.

And there you have it.  Alright, I seriously cannot to see what’s in your bags.  :D :D :D

And pick a winner.  :) :) :)

And maybe call Hoarders on one of you.  >:)

Link it up, you can add through Saturday:
