I always saw this type of post on blogs and thought, “I want to do my own version too.” But at the time, my bags weren't that great. And, to be honest, I didn't want to show school supplies. (Just between us, when I decided to create the blog, I was about 19 years old and was taking prep courses.)

However, time passed, I started working in my field, and when I was able to earn relatively well, I finally invested in a bag and wallet that I had always dreamed of.

Now, without further ado, let's get down to business:

Paloma’s bag.
  • Mr. Cat bag and wallet: They are leather and absolutely beautiful!
  • Ray-Ban prescription glasses: I mainly use them for screens, as reading glasses.
  • AC Brasil sunglasses: I bought them at an event in my city.
  • Sanitary pads and band-aids: Because you never know, right?
  • Tofinek: Like a waffle… it's really good!
  • Cup: My kidney stones appreciate.
  • A notebook and pen: To write down important things.
  • Medicine: One for cramps and one for migraines.
  • Edifier headphones: Amazing battery life, lasts about 25 hours. I love these headphones!
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: One of my greatest achievements.
  • Pink sunscreen: But, honestly, I like Ollie's better.
  • Vizzela 3-in-1 stick: I use it as lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow.
  • Essence lip gloss: They have the best makeup products.
  • Egeo perfume: For those moments when sweat smells unpleasant.
  • Essence mascara: Essence is a brand I really like because, in addition to having great staying power, it doesn't test on animals.

That's it, folks. These are the items I carry with me every day. Sometimes I carry less, I'm a fan of carrying almost nothing, so if my pants have pockets, I'd much rather carry things in them.

Stopping now to analyze, I think I'm a different kind of woman, because ooohhhh I'm not really into frills, no, I like basics and minimalism. But I'm very attached to my little things and I think a lot before buying. I like to invest money in quality things that will last a few years.
