I believe a woman's bag tells a lot about her personality and style.
You have read my earlier blog about my Mummy/Diaper bag but on regular days, there are 7 essential things that I always have in my bag. I wouldn't feel secure to step out of the house if I don't have these items.
7 Things I Must Have In My Bag :
1) Lip Balm / Lip Gloss
I love natural pink rosy lips and somedays when I don't feel like putting on makeup, I just apply lip gloss or lip balm. Carmex is my favorite and I have been using it for years. When I was in Australia, I had chapped lips occasionally due to the different climate. This lip balm works great and moisturizes the lips with a cooling effect. Too bad I can't find them here in Singapore. I got them from Lazada.
2) Pocket Safety Alarm
Singapore is a pretty safe country, but Low Crime Doesn't Mean No Crime! It's better to be safe than sorry. It's always good to stay vigilant and carry something to protect yourself, especially if you are always home late. I got this pocket alarm from Daiso, it's a cute baseball keychain and it has a really loud beep when you pull out the pin. (I hope I never have to use this!)
3) Contact Lens
I have bad eyesight since school days. The optician recommended that I wear my glasses every day, (no way!) it's just so uncomfortable and I look so nerdy with glasses! 🤓 Anyway, I only wear them when I read, drive or attend seminars but since I started using contacts recently, I love it!!! I can see everything super clear now, even from a far distance...Wow! I felt like my eyes are reborn!
4) Medicated Oil
I rarely use it. A small bottle can last me for years, lol. Once I was traveling with a friend on a train and she felt dizzy, I gave her this medicated oil and she felt much better after using it...
Well, you'll never know when a headache might strike or some tummy discomfort after a meal, etc. Who knows someone might just need this, so I always carry one in case of emergencies.
5) Wet Wipes / Tissues
Wet tissues are so useful, especially when you are eating fried chicken or peeling prawns and you just can't find any washroom nearby. I bring them everytime, everywhere!
6) Earphones
Music is part of my life. I listen to music every day to relax and recharge. Good music makes me feel happy and energetic! I love some soulful and hip hop music on a long bus ride.
7) Fresh Mints
I have a weird habit of chewing candies randomly. These cooling mints are sugarfree and keep the breath fresh all day.
...I'm always curious about what other women have in their bags so let me have a peek, ladies! Lol. Share with me what are the things you MUST have in your purse. Send me your comments! 😘

Let's talk about Pet Peeves.
Most people know I'm friendly, warm, fun-loving with a sense of humor. LOL! But we all have some things that annoy us and these are the things that really bugs me, big time!
My Top Pet Peeves are...
1) Lateness
OK, fashionable late is fine for some events. But sorry, I just can't stand people who are chronically late for everything! No one likes to wait. It's a terrible habit and they are always full of excuses! Well, time is precious and if you don't know what time is it? You need a watch.
2) Oversharing On Social Media / Flooding The Feeds
So you got a new car, a new house and a new sweetheart, that's awesome! The next thing you see their posts/pictures flooding everywhere and every day. Roger! we got your attention loud and clear.
3) Poor Customer Service
Customers are important. No one likes to be served with a bad attitude. Bad service brings bad reputation.(Duh!)
4) Skinny People Who Keep Saying They Are Fat
This has to be my top biggest pet peeve. Hey sweetie, people can see that you are not fat.Telling everyone that you are fat is not going to make you slim anyway. If you are truly unhappy with your body, hit the gym, change your diet or do something. Attention seekers are never cool!
5) Lying & Empty Promises
Everyone hates liars. If you have promised something, keep your words! If you can't be sure, then don't promise anything. I appreciate honesty a lot and I think honesty is the new sexy! 😘
6) Spammers
No one like to wake up to find 50 to 200 unread messages on their emails and WhatsApp...Wow! What's the commotion?
7) Shaking Legs
I wonder why some people love shaking their legs. It looks so tiring and very unpleasant, not cute at all...
8) Chewing Food & Talking At The Same Time
Pardon? Sorry? I can't hardly hear what they are saying with a mouth stuffed with food...I am more worried that they might choke on their food. Please take your time to swallow your food before you speak.
9) Cutting In Line
Try standing for hours queuing for your favorite Bak Kwa (aka BBQ Jerky) and someone suddenly cut in the queue because they are 'in a hurry'. Hey stranger, try a better excuse next time!
10) Not Picking Up Calls
Other than those unknown, suspicious callers and scam calls, etc.. (Ignore those calls) There must be a reason someone calls you. Please pick up the phone because it could be something urgent and important...Then why carry a phone when you don't intend to answer them?
11) Standing In The Middle Of The Crowd Or Walkway
Don't you just hate it when someone stands right in the middle of a shopping crowd or the walkway, blocking the way and talking on their phone, moving so slowly as though no one exists? Very inconsiderate!
12) PDA (Public Display of Affection)
I'm totally cool with PDA and love expressions. (Awww...) I think it's kinda sweet but if the couple is overdoing it...Ok Lovebirds! Please get a room...and if you are in school uniforms, I'll be worried for you, kid!
13) Posting/Tagging Photos Without Your Consent
This is just rude! I respect privacy. Well, not everyone like sharing their personal photos to the world and why do they always have to tag those unglamorous photos? Oh geez!...
14) Channel Surfing
It is so annoying when someone starts switching channels every few minutes when I'm watching a show. Please stop, my eyes hurt!
15) Bullies
Bullying is wrong and I have a low tolerance for any form of bullying...Be kind always, Peace! ✌
...So that's about all but don't worry, I'm still a nice person overall.😙 Hey, let me know what are your pet peeves? Comment below or write to me. Till then, stick around lovelies! 😎
