    Can we normalise using things, like wallets, until it's actually at the end of use? We always covet for new things when we (usually) have the same thing at home! Let's use wallets until they actually break because I bet that's real leather and it has a few more years to go!

    I really like it when I see things in someone's bag that is not new. It amazes me to see things being used for years like that of your coach wallet. I dont know, it just feels so realistic to me that I can totally relate and doesn't influence me to buy a new. Nice video!

    As a vintage Coach collector, I’ve brought quite a few wallets and clutches back to life with some leather cleaner and leather moisturizer (although white can be a bit harder). It will also help lengthen the life of your leather products. Another great option: You can bring your Coach wallet to any Coach store and ask them to clean it for you-it’s a free service they provide. They’ll usually do it right on the spot if they’re not busy.

    Dry eyes, lips and hands are signs of dehydration. Coffee is dehydrating and there is a fine line of what is enough for each person. Also, vaseline is not a humectant, it pulls moisture from your body to bring to the surface rather than pulling moisture from the air. I like shea butter or even coconut oil (better at night). This is from the girl who had the worst dry hands and lips, cut, split and bleeding, having tried everything! One more point to keep good oils on the skin naturally is to eat a variety of nuts and seeds. I now only drink organic coffee, drink more water/herbal teas, have nuts and seeds and I no longer dread winter. My skin is soft and I rarely need to use the shea butter (which i mix with essential oils I like.) I hope this helps! Loved the video, I have been wondering what others carried and your video popped up!

    I prefer crossbody bags. Card holder, keys, hand sanitizer, phone, and that’s it. But I’m also working from home and only go to the grocery store at the moment. When I drove to work I would bring a canvas tote with a book, water bottle, makeup bag and a sweater and my lunch box. But I’ve never been a person to carry too much for “just in case”.

    I switched to a mini kate spade backpack, and it's made out of nylon so it's cute and stain resistant. I then also switched to a small card holder I got from Amazon, so I have less clutter there. Just by switching up those two things it's way easier for me to find everything in my bag and my back doesn't kill me anymore.

    Wallet, iphone, keys, mask are always with me. If I'm going to be out for more than 5 minutes I will make sure I have the following: readers (glasses), sunglasses, lip balm, hand cream, planner/journal, water bottle, pens (I have a pen/pencil pouch), and maybe a small knitting project (like socks). Also, I love that you are using your wallet to the end of it's life cycle. It is so inspiring.

    I carry three black leather pouches, plus my wallet. One pouch has a few toiletries, one has car fob, gate opener, mail box key. The last has pen, gum, work badge, mini notepad. Combined they don't talk up much room and I can easily transfer everything from bag to bag when I change them out. I am definitely a handbag girl.

    -hand sanitizers
    -water bottle (depending on how long I will be out)
    -a small pouch (where I put my facial cream, toner spray, sunscreen, band-aide, a cherry chapstick, wipes for my glasses and an extra mask because 2021)
    -headphones & my phone charger

I used to be a walk-er to work everyday person, and then covid and I don’t have a regular job anymore.. so now I keep a ton of my essentials in my car and usually just have keys, wallet, phone shoved into pockets.

      All well and good until you can’t find your phone or it gets stolen. But I guess nobody thought about that before inventing such a case, much less buying one.
      This world is crazy enough as it is and already causing so much stress and anxiety. You really want to add to that by using such a phone case? I keep my phone and my cardholder/wallet separate and tucked in the most practical yet secure part of my backpack. Same goes for if I use a crossbody purse. If you want to rock such a phone case, then you do you. But I personally, I could never. I wouldn’t risk it. The what-ifs are always there, after all. In today’s world, you can never be too careful.

    You can probably take your wallet to a shoe repair and have them clean and restain it. Bring it back to life ;) and support local small business

    Coach wallets wear like nails! No shame 😉
