Women's Work Bag Essentials

I am sharing some items every woman should carry in their handbags. 

Wallet - Of course, you need money and your cards. 

Keys - Remember to take your house keys so you can get back in after work. If you hold keys to your office, remember to take them with you. Put your house and office keys together on a keyring to keep them safe. 

Building pass and ID - You need to get into your office.

Earphones - If you like listening to music or watching videos during your commute to work, take earphones. Use them to cancel out noise and distractions while you work. 

Portable charger - To keep your phone charged. 

Laptop and charger - If you have to carry a laptop with you. 

Water bottle - Stay hydrated, especially now that it is summer. 

Snacks - Along with your lunch, take plenty of snacks to eat during the day. 

Mints - We all want fresh breath. 

Perfume and deodorant. - Take a mini perfume to stay fresh while you are at work. 

Hand sanitizer - To keep your hands clean. 

Feminine products - Periods can be unpredictable and having a few pads in your bag will save you from embarrassment and having to run out to the shops. 

Tissues and wet wipes - Keep yourself and your workspace clean with these. 

Hairbrush and hair ties - Our hair can get messy as the day goes on, so if you have a hairbrush and some ties, you can go to the bathroom and fix it. 

Medicine - Take any medications you need . 

Umbrella - For those rainy and miserable days.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
