gotta make it. gotta get ready in time. always the same procedure. not very proud of it, but im a woman of procedure when it comes to tasks. being mindful of what i eat, and usually living on a tight budget i cannot simply storm out of my house however i want. so it starts with food. cause you can always put on make up and jewellery, or finish your outfit on the go, but you cant cook quinoa or put dressing on the salad. if you dont do it at home, youre screwed.
so...food first, appearance second.
since i was a little girl i loved style. style was one of my first ways of saying: i want to stand out. im sorry, but i like being the centre of attention. not sorry, i want to be different for the sole purpose of showing the world we dont all have to wear jeans and tshirts. since i was very young i knew that we send out messages to others in lots of ways, only one of them being by what we decide to put on ourselves when we exit our homes. as the years passed by, my style went from specific/mixed/eccentric to comfortable, but im still keeping a close eye on it, even though its been years since ive had a mirror in my home.
so, food, check, outfit, check. usually no make up or hair styling, but a huge bag (or two...or three..) with lots of stuff. as i was introduced to what we humorously call "the desert lifestyle" i have fallen in love with it and it has helped me lots through my wild years. basically, i always carry around everything i would need if in some weird scenario i couldnt get home for like 2 days. ironically, i carry everything but enough money to last me those two days. but hey, thats me!
so, whats in my backpack every day? (yes, backpack. i know those arent very fashionable, but neither is shoulder pains my fancy, DIY, homemade, sewen handbags gave me through the years of intese carrying of stuff around) and also, a backpack gives you more opportunities to move around more freely...
essentials, the things i try to fit even in evening tiny bags: cellphone, wallet, tissues, glass water bottle. nothing normal can happen if i dont have those with me. although i also get sad if i dont have a pen and i need one.
less essential, but truly helpful: little bag of pencils, make up utilities, hair holders, safety pins etc. another little bag of matches, mirror, and a collapsable spoon. normal spoon, usb stick, and another little bag of feminine products with an extra pair of socks and underwear. handcream (only when working), mala rudraksha beads, cellphone charger, or the "desert charger" (The Pustinjač, punjač za pustinju), headphones, little notebook, keys (yes, keys are not essential for some reason), extra camera, and one up to three nylon bags cause i love picking stuff up, like empty cans and bottles (we get money for recycling here) or any other things i find useful.
so yeah, that is in my bag. my other bags usually include food, more clothing, more cosmetics ( sometimes i wear make up to work and i wanna take it off when i get to his place ), things im bringing my friends, things im bringing to work, books, or they are just empty and will be filled with groceries and other shit later on.
so, food, bag(s), outfit, and im ready to go.
but wait!
maybe my comfort sometimes comes before style nowadays...but one accessorie i always try to make sure i wear... and those are my bloodshut eyes cause im a true stoner pothead and i love to roam the streets high as fuck with no sunglasses on, yeah!!!
