And then there is the proverbial 'kitchen sink' many of us stuff in our bags! After years of chiropractic treatments for my neck, I traded in the shoulder bag for a fanny pack. Amazing what a woman can put in one of those things! Thanks for the reminder article.

Funny you mention that Lynn, I started carrying this big bag a few months ago and never switched it out. OMG what DONT I have in there? Smaller bags are definitely easier to manage.

Did someone say "kitchen sink?" If we carry what Biba says and JUST a wallet we will all be good.

I've spent years looking for the perfect purse. Now I haul around a messenger bag with EVERYTHING in it! I figure that as long as I can actually lift the darn thing I'm good to go .. literally!

I'm more of a backpack kind of gal myself. That way I can have my laptop, a large notebook, books, lots of food and water with me at all time. One never knows when they'll get stranded somewhere and have time to do all that reading and work you want to get done!
