What’s in My Bag? (Learn Mexican Spanish Naturally)

Hi friends. Today I'm going to show you what's in my bag. This is my bag. This bag is big. The bag isn't small, but this bag isn't an ordinary bag. This bag hides something. This bag is also a diaper bag.

Inside the bag are my things. And inside the bag are my baby's things. Let's see what's inside my bag.

This is my card holder. The card holder is small. I have a credit card. A debit card. I have my health insurance card. I have my driver's license. And I have bills. Lots of bills. Just kidding, I'm poor. They're all dollar bills. I don't have much cash because I use cards more. In Mexico, you always need to have cash because there are many small stores that don't accept credit cards. In my card holder, I also have a sticker. And a picture of a loved one.

In my bag, I have this accessory for my phone. It has a magnet and sticks to the phone. I use this to record myself when I'm making content for you. It's very useful. I don't like having it on my phone all the time because these pacifiers are really sticky, and then my phone sticks to everything. That's why I take it off.

My purse is also a diaper bag. I didn't want a conventional diaper bag. Diaper bags are usually backpacks. And to me, they're ugly backpacks. They're not fashionable. And I want to be a fashionable mom. Many people might think that maybe it's not practical to have a bag as a diaper bag. But for me, it is practical. It's easier to have everything in one place. When I go out, I only carry one thing. I grab this bag, and I have everything I need. And the truth is, a baby doesn't need that much stuff. Marketing makes us think that babies need a lot of things, but that's not the case. And then you see moms carrying their huge backpacks full of stuff as if they were going on a month-long trip. But for everyday use, you only need the basics. Like some diapers, diaper rash cream, a washcloth. I use this for cleaning up drool, messes, vomit— disastrous situations that can happen with a baby.

Toys are essential. I can't leave the house without toys for the baby. He's teething right now, so he wants to chew on everything. He's very anxious. These toys are lifesavers. I also have a change of clothes because babies always get dirty, their diapers explode, or they get stained with something. And don't even get me started on exploding diapers. That's why a change of clothes is another essential.

It's very windy in San Francisco. It comes out of nowhere. That's why I carry a hat. This is a hat for my baby. I put it on his head, and it protects him from the cold. The hat keeps him warm. And he looks stylish too, just like his mom. We're fashionable.

One bad habit I have is keeping all the receipts in my purse. This is a receipt. They end up making my purse dirty. And I always say, "I'm going to throw them away," but somehow they end up all crumpled up in my purse. For example, this receipt is for some chilaquiles. Chilaquiles I ate in February. This has been in my bag for over a month. How embarrassing.

To continue with the embarrassing theme, I found an old parking ticket. In San Francisco, it's really hard to find parking. It's a whole ordeal. And besides this problem, you have to be very careful. Pay close attention to where you park. Because there are a lot of parking rules. There are certain days and times when parking is prohibited in some places. And the people who issue the tickets are like hawks looking for someone to ticket. You can't escape them. So that's why I'm always getting tickets. To make me feel better, tell me when was the last time you got one.

In my bag, I also have beauty products. Like lipstick, lip liner, and lip gloss for touch-ups during the day if I'm out. Sunglasses are essential for me. These are my favorites. What do you think? Do I look fashionable? You don't have to be rich to be fashionable. I bought these sunglasses at Target. That's why I don't have a case for them. This way, I keep them safe inside my bag.

And the last thing I have in my bag is my AirPods. I like to have them in case I need entertainment. Listening to music, an audiobook, or using TikTok. You never know when you might need them.

And those are all the things I have in my bag. Don't forget to subscribe so you can keep learning everyday Spanish. Thanks for watching the video, and I'll see you next time. Bye!
