What's in my bag?
Share
Every day feels a little more under control because of one trusted companion: my La Pendla Commuter Bag. With padded laptop storage, a separate compartment for gym clothes and shoes, and even two cup holders, it’s designed for the rhythm of my life — work, wellness, and everything in between.
Here’s a peek into what’s in my bag, why I carry it, and a few of my favorite products that make my routine smoother.
What’s Inside & Why It Works
Meal Prep
Once a week, I meal-prep my lunches. Before bedtime, I glance at the next day’s schedule and decide whether to pack one food container or two and I always keep them in the insulated compartment to keep it cool and fresh even with some travel time to work.
Hydration (…Sort of)
Full confession: I don’t use a reusable water bottle. But still, the water is an essential. The bag’s dual cup holders are a lifesaver. I use one for my travel coffee mug and the other for my water.
Phone
I always carry two phones:
-
iPhone 13 (for work)
-
One Plus 9 (for personal use)
The outer pockets of my La Pendla bag make them easy to grab without digging through everything.
Coffee On-The-Go
My pink Glacial travel mug goes everywhere with me. Thanks to the second cup holder, I never have to choose between coffee and water - I just bring both. I always add some collagen to my coffee, favorite right now is the French Vanilla flavor from BeKeto.
Beauty Essentials
A small but important item: my lipliner. I use Harriet by IDUN Minerals, a soft brown-pink shade that defines my lips gently and complements any look. Its creamy, vegan formula feels smooth, and the built-in sharpener and smudger make it super practical.
Brain Dump & Planning
My pink planner & notebook is basically my external hard drive for thoughts. I brain-dump, journal, track workouts, and write down work ideas. This helps me clear mental clutter and stay organized.
Earbuds and head phones
I’m always listening to something — music or an audiobook. Right now, I’m hooked on romantasy. My Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 in lavender are super lightweight (only ~5g!) and deliver full, rich sound.
Workout Gear
I carry lightweight gym clothes and training shoes in a dedicated compartment. The design keeps sweaty gear separate so nothing else in the bag gets damp or stained. This way, I can grab a workout during a lunch break or right after work without extra hassle.
