The average woman spends about four and a half minutes every day rummaging through her bag, according to a research by a company called Bagatidy. This comes out to about one full day a year spent searching through pens, loose papers, extra clothes, and whatever other crap you’re lugging around. We think this is entirely possible, given the contents of our bags:
Amelia’s bag: wallet, black umbrella, yellow cardigan, iPhone, keys, work ID, fake lavender Ray-Bans, two-week-old issue of New York magazine, promotional CD I got at a concert, mascara, four lip glosses, three pens, camera, copy of Breakfast At Tiffany’s (the book), various business cards, various loose pieces of paper, and loose change.

I usually carry a clutch within a tote and oftentimes, have other bags within the tote bag and/or on my arm. I am a ridiculous bag lady, but i am always prepared… for the weather, for the weekend, for the apocalypse.

Okay, I feel kind of bad now: Doesn’t anyone else’s bag contain lots of loose change, lint, old receipts, and tampons?

I try to take out the change every few days (makes bag heavy) and only carry my lady products if it’s that time…. I’m sure there’s plenty of lint in there, however.
