I never carry a purse and I feel like dude.

Haha, what a line opener, but it is true!

How many women are with me? Maybe you have the kids and are juggling diaper bags and grabbing them by the neck, making sure they don’t run into the wall or a car.

Then there is me. . .

I leave the house every morning with the following in hand:

• My coffee if I haven’t finished it
• My cell phone if I don’t have a back pocket to snake it into
• My 6-pack lunch bag
• My extremely large and unnecessary crossfit gym bag
• Last but not least my backpack which holds my work shit

That is 5-6 items in my arms as I walk down a flight of stairs in hopes not to die each morning. Picture that… no way in hell am I adding a purse to the mix. So a tiny (dirty AF) keychain wallet had made its way attached to my belt loop or keys.

Super trendy– said no one ever, well maybe in the 80’s. 

The trend of not carrying a purse to work somehow translated into my everyday life. I just love having my arms free–my hands free. Mainly because I like the freedom to do stupid shit, such as back squat my friends when I have been drinking (sorry Jim). So the gross keychain wallet stayed; that is until I discovered a company that made me feel like I was a girl again and still have the freedom of living my best life, purse free.

Meet Penny Mae:

Penny Mae is all about living your life to its fullest without having the stress of worrying about your personal items. They have created every bag with your adventures in mind, so that you can have the ease and convenience to live MORE and worry LESS. Which is my motto as you all know!

Penny Mae has 3 really cute bags but my favorite is their Penny Mae Original, which I am rockin’ for my first Jazz Game!

The amazing thing about this bag, is the multiple pockets. It has inside credit card pockets which is perfect if you  do not want to carry a wallet and it fits a wallet if you do.

It is super soft, and made with faux leather and an interior nylon lining. Which I absolutely love!

I fit all kinds of stuff in mine! From keys, chapstick, make up, wallet, sunglasses and my cell phone. I even managed to sneak some movie snacks into it! I mean, I didn’t put any cookies into it but I got a protein bar in there.

I love that I can dress it up or down depending on the day. Below, I was running to see my massage therapist and it still looked cute AF!

In August I am off to Croatia for a long backroads trip and I am going to purchase their Abigail bag in black because it is so fashion and you can remove the strap if you want a cute little clutch for date night!

I have never been a fanny pack girl, but after rockin’ Penny Mae for the last two weeks I can say that I am absolutely sold and in love. I couldn’t imagine using anything else as my go to everyday bag (PSA: I am not being paid to say this– this is my honest review as always).

So if you are like me and hate purses I urge you to check out this cute little company. Toni is an amazing person and she has put so much love into her products, it absolutely shows. Thanks for making such cute products girl!
