Wallet. Phone. Keys. Lipgloss. They’re four items many of us will always have in our handbags.
The Project host Carrie Bickmore has gone one step further sharing in her column for The Sunday Telegraph‘s Stellar magazine, that her handbag essentials include 26 items. Yes, 26.
Oh, and said bag weighs a gargantuan 12.6 kilograms (yes, she checked it), which is basically like carrying around “an actual human being” half the time.
The 35-year-old revealed that the weigh-in occurred after she tipped the contents she totes around daily onto the kitchen bench.
“Phone, wallet, keys, laptop, makeup bag, mismatched Tupperware containers, a portable phone charger, the charger for the portable phone charger, one of [daughter] Evie’s shoes, a toy plane with one wing, a notepad, textas, a brush, the front of one earring, the back of another, enough coins to feed every parking meter in town,” she wrote.
“Mints, a tube of hand cream, the loose lid of the tube of hand cream, some knickers, one sock, crushed Tiny Teddies and squished sultanas, the kids’ book Where Is The Green Sheep?, an empty kids’ water bottle and a wet passport.” (Post continues after gallery.)

The combined weight of the items were said to be more than her youngest child Evie, 19 months, who Bickmore often carries around in her spare arm.
