disclaimer: thanks to my relationship with Sunglass Warehouse & Maven, I did receive complimentary glasses; this is also a sponsored post. all opinions are my own; thanks for reading!

Sometimes when I hand my bag to a friend for a quick hold, they almost drop it due to the weight — and you can bet they comment about the weight. Considering that I live life on the go, I think the weight of my bag isn’t too heavy at all! Here are my must-haves for my bag, and a few things that always tend to find their way in there…

planner. must have. Even with allllll this technology, I still have to write everything down — just like when I started using planners in middle school! Writing down my plans, deadlines, and my workouts make them stick in my brain, and keep me more organized. I can attest to incidents that when things are not written down, they don’t happen!

sunglasses. must have. Maybe because I have green eyes, my eyes are happier with having shades on… But regardless, I have sunglasses like most girls have shoes. I love variety, one in every color, and sometimes double pairs because I might be prone to losing them. But, with Sunglass Warehouse’s awesome selection, great quality, and WOAH! WHAT A DEAL! that they’re having right now, you can stock up on your favorites! Use code COOL40 for 40% off a Single Item, or use STYLE20 for 20% off your full order; both are valid through 7/15/17. *check out all my finds here.

battery pack. usually. I am known for my pineapple battery packs… and own about seven. Can you blame me?! Who hasn’t needed a charge at an odd time… and I came to the rescue!

water bottle. needs to be a must have. I used to be much better at bringing my water with me. So yeah, I need to start doing that again!

peanut butter. usually. This somehow finds it’s way into my bag… can you blame me?!

pens. always. Oh, you want a purple one? Or all the colors? Just plain black? I like my pens like I like my sunglasses, I must have them alllllll.

camera. usually. It’s kinda heavy. Takes up space. But you can beat I have it on me… You never know when I may stop by my restaurant, or drive home with an awesome sunset that needs capturing.

business cards. must have. You never know who you’re going to meet — or what random drawing you need to enter by dropping your biz card in the bowl! But on a serious note… when you do what I do (ie blogger, entrepreneur, trying-to-be photographer), it would be silly of you to not have biz cards on hand to share who you are and what you do!

What are your must haves for your bag?

…and don’t miss out on the deal with Sunglass Warehouse!
