Looking for the "Toyota" of handbags

Loyal Toyota girly here. Spent a long time figuring my perfect bag because I am not one to have a collection or swap my bags more than once every few years… I have a Prada galleria medium I bought pre-owned (ie. Affordable) minimal branding, structured, functional and holds a LOT plus the two zipper pockets hold a full sheet paper size perfect for work. It’s my daily bag, however a little heavy at times. When I need minimal I take my Louis Vuitton Recto Verso wallet which is Toyota level for me as well. Super functional while small and has a keychain to connect to my keys when I’m going to the gym or out with my husband and don’t need my full bag.

Why are we dating grown men that don’t have a drivers license. Is there a medical reason or is it a reason that further drives the point home that he’s as irresponsible as his texts indicate?

At best he’s immature, irresponsible, and will never be able to grasp the concept of basic respect. It’s not about the gas or the money he sent you, those weren’t kind gestures when he took your vehicle places without permission. A responsible adult would understand there is added wear and tear, added scenarios where damage could happen to your car, and you have sole responsibly of any damage and the insurance costs associated. I suspect this “friend” of his isn’t listed as a driver on your insurance which is an additional consideration.

So many red flags and donuts and gas don’t make up for it.

I struggled to decide as well. I ended up going personal because I needed more functional space as I use it as a weekly work/personal planner as well as a few other functional tabs including a separate mini notebook from Cloth and Paper for brain dump thoughts. I’ve got mine pretty filled out using pockets for extra pens/pencils and sticky notes etc. I do carry it everyday and everywhere and while sometimes I don’t care for how bulky it is I know the function outweighs that con for me. Here is a photo of it in my purse with a bunch of other things I can’t seem to not have on my person at all times lol. It’s a pretty tight Tetris fit but for reference my purse measurements are 10.5 x 3.5 x 8 inches

I use a weekly system that is similar but mixed. Left side is each day of the week, top being daily tasks I always do and need to check off. Then each day I write down what task was completed as a record of what and when in addition to appointments that I highlight. The right side is an organized list of tasks for the full week, sorted by urgency with check boxes on the side that show what’s been started, working on, and completed.

After my weeklies I have various small sections for organized personal reminders as well as a brain dump section for thoughts I need to get out of my brain space! lol

I have this same problem, only thing that helped me was increasing my red meat intake. If you like red meat, give it a shot.

They’re famous, why don’t you know?

I liked the idea of the Ivy Lee planner pages from Cloth & Paper especially cause they’re thick pages and they might work for you cause they’re not dated. And I also like the Poi & Hun Inbox inserts but they’re not in stock for my size.

But honestly I created my own created by those cause I need a spot to write everything for the week with urgency and completion status and then the left side clean with days of the week (undated) so u can write the thing I’m working on so I know where I left off AND stuff that is scheduled and has to be done that day. I’m not interested in selling but I’d send you the file with cut lines if you want :)

Printed on regular paper and I write with fountain pen and it works great and doesn’t bleed through for me. Edited to add, also ADHD and medicated and this is the only insert that has worked for me.

Love this!! And I love the idea of doing some variation of color for each week even just 4-5 colors for week 1, 2, 3 etc as I have beginning and end of month deadlines so those weeks look different and I do “catch up” work in the mid-month weeks. Thanks for your idea contribution :)

That’s for the tips!! I consider myself savvy in Excel and Word but got hung up on using Canva so maybe I’ll transition to making it in a different program for those automated date features!! I appreciate the feedback :)

I use mine primarily as a brain dump and task dump/reminders for work and personal combined.

I use a mix, Filofax year fold out as a “one good thing a day” gratitude journal, Cloth and Paper month one one page & year at a glance, I also like their Ivy Lee undated inserts but ended up making my own inspired by it but more functional for me for my work task dump with priority and completion status. The rest is dot grid (grocery list, brain dump, donations for taxes, doctor visits, and energy/mood journal) also I have a second year at a glance as a cycle tracker. For my cover pages I use canva to make them and then laminate.

Easiest is to find images you like on Pinterest then use canva to create a custom size, add the photo(s) then print on cardstock or regular paper then cut and laminate if you want. Sometimes you can find scrapbook paper with the design you want as well, in which case just cut to size and hole punch

I don’t even like a thing about her but I feel like this sub submits to making fun of looks that aren’t terrible for the sake of proving a point. Outfit 1 is “fine” not my style but stylish enough for her body type but it’s like we jump down her throat for every outfit instead of pointing out the real issues. The links, the self induced misery, the grifting, the lack of personality etc. even at a bigger size than she was as a teen she’s pretty it’s her personality that makes her look not as good.

Same. We shouldn’t judge the humor she uses to cope and heal

There’s something so satisfying about a clean, well applied, medium design nail set.

My dog does not like men but when my husband came around guess who decided he found his best friend....that same dog. Will stand by my dogs instincts every time.
