Weekday things and bag voyeurism

I hope you lovely ladies are all having a nice weekend!

During the week, I was busying myself with simple, easy to make food that's tasty and convenient. Besides that, I've been really busy at work packing since we are moving to a new suite on Monday. We just had to get our things in a crate so all the movers can move my files and all the things here and there. It was a busy week =p I am blogging on location right now.

 

 I bought some dim sum to go and had some leftovers along with homemade porridge. The porridge had silver fish and green onions for flavoring. I really love fish flavored porridge. Must look yucky for some people =p I grew up eating this and it brings me sweet memories of my mom's cooking.

One of my favorite comfort foods, deviled eggs! LOL People normally eat this on holidays but I just love it so hard. I am a big time egg lover so I guess that may be a reason. I used a very simple recipe. I scooped out the hard boiled egg yolks and then mashed them with mayo and spicy mustard before setting them back into their egg white cups. Garnished with paprika. Man, I love deviled eggs. I can eat them forever! LOL

BBQ pot roast sandwich. I went out to a smokehouse for BBQ pot roast over the week and had leftovers that were perfect for a sandwich. It's sitting on sourdough bread, and topped with tomatoes and spinach. It would probably taste better pressed but I like it nonetheless.







I wanted to show you guys a new bag I acquired recently :)

I thought this Hexagona bag would be perfect for the summer months since it's nice and white. Normally I am not a big fan of white bags, but this one somehow called to me. I like the lightweight material and how easy it is to cling this bag on your shoulder on your arms.

This is what I have inside! =p

I always wonder what people carry in their bags to make their life easy and accessible. I used to be the biggest hoarder and have everything in one bag but I realize how heavy it can be, especially if I only use 40% of the things.

Some of my favorite essentials (beside my wallet and keys) include lip balms, hand lotion and oil sheets. I also have a variety of knick knacks that I didn't picture like pens, notepads and a cell phone.

I've had the Rosebud Salve for the longest time and it's one of my favorites along with the Burt's Bees pomegranate oil. The Rosebud balm is very cute and the sweet strawberry notes are very pleasing while the balm itself is exquisite highly moisturizing. Can be used for excessive dry skin or cuts. I normally use it for my lips. It's all natural and has no goofy ingredients. I believe it's a best seller for many years. I'm sure you all heard of it.

I carry a little assortment of "power perfumes" in my bag too =p It's in a handy little zipper bag. It just makes me feel powerful in times of stress. Sounds pretty crazy, but during my deadlines and stuff at work, a little spritz of one of my power perfumes really gives me that extra boost =p Most used one is Kenzo Power Herve Ledger. I also love Pink Sugar, but that's just really girly and feminine :) I love woodsy, musky smells that are blended elegantly. They usually define "power" to me. LOL

I also love the Dove Go Fresh in grapefruit and lemongrass!!!!! I can't rave about that one enough. That one and the one in the green bottle, Cucumbers or something. The grapefruit one is an energizing smell that is both citrusy and sweet. It lands on a more sweeter side for me, but just as elegant. I spray it in my office occasionally for a pick me up and I love how it lights up the entire room. I absolutely recommend Dove. It's easy to find, inexpensive and superb. Let me know if you guys love it as well =p

The Aveda hand cream is a must. I go through tubes and tubes of hand cream since I like to keep my hands moist. Nothing is worse than working while your hands and are dry and chapped =/ What are your fave hand creams?! Mine is running out soon and I need new suggestions.

 The little pink tube is a cream blush that I hardly ever use. It's from the Body Shop, and is a nice, pink color that has little fine sparkles in it. It blends very easily and is a soft texture much like the Maybelline matte mousse ones. The tube is perfect for traveling or very busy ppl who do their makeup while multitasking.

And that's all the essentials I really have for now. What is the most important essential you gals carry on the go? I once knew someone who carried a yellow pages type thing in her bag, along with passports, copies of birth certificates, and all that crazy stuff..LOL

My crazy cat Bacon sandwiched in random blankets. I snapped this pic of her a few months ago. She's still as crazy today. I caught her sleeping on top of the fridge 2 days ago! LOL
