About the bag<\/strong><\/p>\n

This bag was a gift some dear friends brought back from India for me. I\u2019m typically a backpack girl, but I love the depth of this one which makes it perfect for my yoga mat or for whatever I might want to take along on my neighborhood walks.<\/p>\n

What’s inside the bag<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ten Year Journal<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($43)<\/strong>:\u00a0Even though it\u2019s bulky I often lug around my Ten Year Journal. I use it to record a few sentences chronicling my life every day. As the years go on you can compare what was happening in your life on any given day of a year. I also use it to keep myself honest by checking off my daily positive practices.<\/p>\n

You are beautiful stickers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($10, 50pk):<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019ve been sharing these stickers with friends and in unexpected places for years. I tuck them into envelopes when I mail things or make bank deposits, our mail carrier sees one each time she opens our mailbox\u2026 there are endless possibilities. I love the way they bring a smile to someone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Metal business card holder<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0I used to use this little case as my wallet – just a license, credit card and maybe a little cash ready to go. These days my phone case is my wallet and since don\u2019t have much need to carry business cards in this climate I keep my You are beautiful stickers in it so I can have them with me wherever I go.<\/p>\n

Chocolove Dark Chocolate Bars<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($3):<\/strong>\u00a0Since the pandemic started I\u2019ve been buying these bars in quantity to share with friends and neighbors as a little pick me up. I love that the packaging makes them a ready-to-go gift. Occasionally I leave them anonymously for someone going through a difficult time and, to be sure, I enjoy them myself as well! I carry Post-it notes in my bag in case I want to add a message when I drop one off.<\/p>\n
