The theme of this week's contest has impressed me and I'm joining in with great pleasure.

What is in your bag

👀

Ladies of Hive Community Contest #58

The people said: "You can find everything in the handbag, but not an arrangement." 😀
However, I am a very tidy person. I can't control chaos so I always strive for tidiness. There is always tidiness in my handbags. I put a specific thing in each compartment and every time I need it I find it very fast.
I confess that in my handbag sometimes you can find very strange things. I like my bag to weigh a lot, only then am I sure,
that whatever I need when I'm out is in my bag.
Once upon a time, backpacks were my passion, but now I'm more practical and only have a few and only use 3 of them. 2 years (since I having a dog) the backpack is my favorite. It is the most convenient for me when I go out for a walk with the dog.

What's in my backpack:

Purse - I don't go anywhere without it. 👛
Phone - it's important to me not only for keeping in touch with friends and family, but also for pictures. I love to take pictures of the beautiful things I see. 📲
Phone charger -I have a charger, if I don't need it, I can always help a friend. 😉
Keys for the apartment and cottage. 🔑🗝️
Sunglasses and dioptric glasses - one of them is always on my face (right now - the dioptric ones). 😎
Antibacterial gel - I use this when I'm outside and don't have access to a faucet and soap.
Handkerchiefs and pads - in case of surprises. 🙂
Lip balm - no matter the season I always moisturize my lips and the balm is always with me. 💋
Gum - I love them to freshen my breath.
Hair ties - I always tie my hair up when I'm running with the dog or when I'm eating.
Umbrella- every time I don't take it, it starts to rain, so now it's always with me even on the driest days. 🌂☂️☔
Patches, wipe to clean glasses, disposable gloves.
Notepad and pen - I write everything down in the moment I think of it, because I forget quickly. I've gone to the shop and I don't remember what I need to buy, then I buy everything but not what I need. 😌😄 🖊️

A few atypical thingsw: 😄

Police flashlight with electric shock - I've had it for 2 years and haven't used it, thank goodness. I have it for courage.
Knife with bottle opener and corkscrew - you never know when you might need to cut something or open a bottle of beer or wine... (I don't drink alcohol, but my friends do) 🍾 🍷
A phaser, tape measure and a couple of screwdrivers - we've been doing a cottage renovation in our village for the last year and these things help a lot. 🏡
The side pockets of my backpack are a "trash can". 😕
Gum or candy wrappers, receipt, coffee stirrer, filled shopping list- I always collect all the trash in my bag in case there is no container nearby, I even often collect my friends' trash because I wouldn't want the waste on the street - you guessed what I mean.

What's in my handbag:

Of course, when I go out in the evening (which is rare anymore) I use a handbag. In my handbag there is my purse, phone, charger, keys, handkerchiefs, pad, perfume, deodorant, hair comb, antibacterial gel and lip balm.
Makeup bag - always before the bar me and my girlfriends like to do makeup together, very fun and exciting moment. So I have a few things in my makeup case for a light evening makeup.

I also have those days where I use a small compact handbag, which I really like how it looks. Because of the small size, I put the essentials in it. Purse, phone, sunglasses, keys, lip balm and anti-bacterial gel.

Thanks to @brittandjosie for a great topic this week!
