00:03Here is a sock. I'm just gonna throw this away right now because that's really truly disgusting.
00:09I'm Connie and this is Connie Kam. I'm the senior global editor of Refinery29 which
00:14means I should be able to you know edit. Ostensibly it's my job but when it comes
00:18to my bag it's obvious that I don't know how to edit. This is the bag I carry to
00:23work every single day. It's about 30 pounds. I can fit everything in it but
00:28since I do hoard my stuff it's kind of like a excuse for me to bring things I
00:33don't need with me. I'm gonna try to fit everything that I need for my day into
00:38this bag which is a Meredith Wendell messenger bag. It's a lot more manageable
00:42and won't give me a backache like all this stuff. First thing I have in here are
00:48a pair of shoes and I've worn these once. A jacket, a copy of the New Yorker, an umbrella,
00:54a pair of sunglasses, a cell phone, headphones, kind bar. Most of these gift
01:00cards aren't even valid anymore. Allergy meds, more cards, samples of beauty
01:05products. Scrap piece of paper, scrap piece of paper, lip gloss, pills, scrap piece of paper.
01:14This is all the stuff that was in my bag. Cleaning out your stuff, your everyday carry is essential to
01:20you know living a sane life. Well first thing we don't need the shoes or the
01:25jacket because I already wear flat shoes and I keep a sweatshirt at work. The
01:29second thing I want to talk about is the pouch. The pouch is really a game-changer
01:33for people who have a lot of loose items in their bags. This is the pouch that I
01:38got for my birthday. It's that Gong Jae Gar Sang really cute star print pouch and
01:42then this one we're actually selling on R29 Shops. It's by Sarah Barner. I am going to put
01:47my miscellaneous stuff in so all my gift cards and stuff in a pouch. Chapstick and
01:52contacts and everything in another pouch. So my wallet zips again. It's like half
01:57the size it used to be. The next step is to throw away the trash. If you haven't
02:01needed to use it in the last like two weeks it's probably okay to throw it away.
02:06If you don't want to carry a huge pill bottle around with you, you can also
02:10find something small. I found this actually at a vintage shop. If you don't
02:13have a lot of keys, your keys can get easily lost in your bag. Put a keychain
02:18on. I know it's so so simple. This one is by 1.61 and we're also selling it on
02:23R29 Shops. So here you have it. My new bag. It's a lot lighter, it's a lot smaller
02:28than my old bag. I probably won't bump into as many people in the subway and I
02:32know exactly what's in here which is a great thing. I hope I have inspired you
02:36to go through your own bag, do a little clean out especially if you have hoarder
02:39tendencies like I do and here's to getting your together this week. Bye guys.
