Make: Happy Bag

Make: Happy Bag
Make: Happy Bag by lekegooglover featuring a cashmere shawl

I was recently reading an article that referenced a happy bag(essence, whole living??). Basically, this bag would be your go to bag for cheer. The writer suggested you treat it like a first-aid kit for happy.
Who doesn't need a little emotional TLC now and again.

Here's what I would put in mine-books, candles, lotion, pictures, notebooks, music, etc. I think my bag will include things that make me feel pampered but allow me to connect to my spirit or the memory of others.
What would you put in your HAPPY BAG?

  1. This is such a great idea. I think I'd include my camera, my notebook, and Jane Austen books.

    I'd probably include a scarf and ipod too. I love all the stuff in your bag!

  2. That's such a great idea! I would put my favourite book in, my journal, quotes I love, chocolate and red lipstick into the bag I think.

  3. I love the idea of a happy bag. I would put a lot of the same things in mine as you put in yours. Though I'd like to add some red chai tea bags for when I would need a pick-me-up, perhaps a garden gnome, Kate Chopin's "the Awakening," and lip gloss :)

  4. that's such a cute idea!! it would be hard for me though, because things that make me happy are either too big for a bag {records, puppies...}, requires a fridge {selection of cheeses}, or aren't tangible things {going on a hike, musical jams with friends...}.

    but i guess if i were to put a few things in a bag i could have an ipod with some great music, maybe a favorite magazine that i hadn't read yet, and some specialty tea.

  5. This is interesting, I love the things you'd put in your bag :)

    I'd probably put books, a notebook, lots of different varities of tea, read nailpolish, a yoga mat, a skipping rope, running shoes, a warm blanket and a bottle (with an endless supply) of red wine. And (another) an endless supply of raspberries :D
