Are you an entrepreneur, setting up shop everywhere you go like I am? Then you will agree when I say I carry a mobile office in my bag. It’s important to keep your essentials handy right? “Time is of essence” so we have to be ready to take on anything at a moment’s notice. And by anything, I mean anything. Back in the day, the feeling would start in my throat, but I tried to push the thought aside and keep going until it’s to the point where I realized, “Oh my gosh, I’ve got heartburn!” And the search began!
Then I would go digging in my bag, searching for relief. You know those chalky little things, antacids. My purse used to be riddled with them. Back to my purse, I’m emptying it out today and showing you what’s in my bag! And I’m also going to share how I avoided that frustrating situation of turning to antacids in a panic. Instead, with one pill each morning, I’ve beat the heartburn game on the daily with Prilosec OTC.
I love the “What’s in my bag” videos, here’s a shot of what’s inside mine. Don’t worry I’ve taken out the old receipts, because I know you also have them swimming in your bag too. No judgement here friends! As you can see below it’s all about organization and having the essentials of a mobile office with me!
Here’s what I consider essential in your bag:
- Laptop – obviously, you’ll need a bag that’s’ large enough to carry your laptop.
- A planner – I still like to write things down, but if you use your phone good for you
- Your cell phone – It’s a total appendage this day in age so it’s in there
- Earbuds – while you might not think of them as essential, you regret when you don’t have them. Leave them in your bag!
- Pencils, pens and markers
- Mints or gum – you don’t want stinky breath!
- Hand lotion is a new add for me, (skincare is super important friends! And your hands are skin!)
- Always looking Instagram ready by having trusty tube of your favorite lipstick or gloss.
What’s missing? Not the antacids! You won’t have little chalky tabs in your bag anymore thanks to Prilosec OTC. So many bags I’ve ruined having those chalky little tablets rolling around at the bottom.
I learned about Prilosec OTC for the first time a few years ago when I went to the doctor on post. At the time I didn’t know what was going on, but now those symptoms are familiar. I was experiencing the burning in my chest, the whole choking and coughing while I was laying down and most embarrassing to me, the constant belching. You know what I’m talking about! All those symptoms that scream heartburn and indigestion, but you didn’t realize what it was, because you’d never had it before. My doctor suggested I try Prilosec OTC. And since it’s over the counter it’s my go-to product. I love Prilosec OTC and always recommend it to my friends and family.
Awesome, right?! I take it in the morning for 14 days and I’m good to go for 24 hours*. No longer carrying around rolls and rolls of antacids or the odd shaped little bottles in my purse. I’ve got more room in my bag and less mess too. More room for the essentials of my mobile office that keep me on task.
*It’s possible when taking Prilosec OTC. Use as directed for 14 days to treat frequent heartburn. Not for immediate relief.
Question:
What items do you keep in your bag to keep you organized?
Cheers!

That looks a lot like my bag! My bag is basically a portable office with handles. LOL
Literally need this right now. I have had a cold and we had a delicious meal tonight which I cooked. But nonetheless I have heartburn. I could use some of this Priolsec tonight.
Feel better Paula!
My bag is packed with all of my essentials (more than I care to admit to lol). I did find the joy of ridding myself of the antacids when I started taking Prilosec OTC a few years back. I used to have the worst heartburn, but Prilosec OTC definitely gives me much needed heartburn relief now!
Ah.. I have been suffering from heartburn on a daily basis these days. I would have to give a thought to Prilosec OTC. ?
Make sure to go see your doctor Snehal.
I have been having issues with heartburn lately. The belching is so embarrassing. I have to excuse myself and go somewhere else to do that. I love the Prilosec is an over the counter drug. I will get some tomorrow.
Awesome Kristine!
I think that sales people are usually the ones who can pull off the mobile office thingy. :0)
LOL This is true Artchee! They really know what’s up.
I stopped carrying a purse because it killed my back. However, I second how awesome Prilosec is!
I carry just about my entire life in my bag. I’ve never tried this medicine before, but it sounds like I could use it!
I hear ya Tiffany!
I swear by Prilosec. It’s the best medication out there for heartburn. Won’t use anything else!
Yes Vanessa!
That is the one thing I hadly ever have in my bag but more and more I am finding that I get heartburn then I remember I have some tablets at home but always forget to pack them in my bag. After reading your post, its a reminder to throw a couple of these in my bag.
Good thinking Bianca!
This looks a lot like my bag. Gotta have it all close.
Absolutely Heather!!
I typically only carry my diaper bag back pack these days but I would love to carry less as my girls get older. I love Prilosec it works so quick an well.
Yes, you definitely will carry less of their stuff and more of your stuff later Porsha.
what a wonderful way to stay organized babe! need to take some ideas from you haha
Thanks Sharon! LOL
The contents of the bag you shared are way more organized than the norm… wink,wink! 😉 I think it’s a fun exercise to revisit and address.
LOL most definitely! This was just the essentials. LOL
