What is in my handbag… Lockdown addition.

If you have been a reader on my blog from way back when, then you would know what a huge obsession I have with peeping into people’s handbags. If you’re new here… Hello, Welcome, I am Tasneem – a resident nosy handbag peeper. Kidding! I just like knowing what people carry around in their handbags after I had an eye opening encounter on a bus ride home from campus in my first year of university. I…

Hello lovelies! I’ve been trying to streamline the amount that I carry around with me in my bag because (a) my bag gets bloody heavy and (b) I can’t find anything when I need it which kind of defeats the whole purpose of carrying it with you anyway.

However, there are certain staple products that I really can’t do without. These are products that you’re likely to find on me anytime you see me.…

So with a new bag always comes a new What’s In My Bag! But this time, I thought I’d skip to the good stuff, and just dive right into the beauty. As a self confessed beauty addict, you can always rely on me to have a few beauty tricks up my sleeve (or at least in my bag)! These are the items I carry around on a daily basis. They are the ones I swear by, and I know I can always depend on to keep my…

What’s in Your Bag?

The handbag essentials that every girl needs

A handbag is more than just a pretty accessory - it’s a kind of lifeline. Carrying our phone, keys, water, makeup, notebook and so much more, our bags go with us everywhere.

What’s in my bag

Hello lovelies!

I’m in Joburg for the week visiting some (very missed) friends! When I was packing I thought I’d better clean out my handbag, and may as well do a ‘what’s in my bag’ post. I left out the old crumpled till slips but left everything else in for your voyeuristic pleasure.

Disclaimer: I would just like to say that I had no idea I was carrying this much crap around with me every day,…

Indian Wedding Handbag Essentials

Indian weddings are no small affair. They all follow the same pattern, and a lot of the time they’re pretty damn similar. The reception is where the party is at (literally) and everyone looks forward to it, mainly due to the open bar. Everyone gets all dolled up to celebrate the wedding, spend some time catching up with extended family, eat a lot of food, and either reminisce or plan their own…
