I am trying to work out why my bags are always quite heavy.
I put next to nothing in them and choose light bags to start with.

In mine I have:
a small purse ( not a wallet, a coin purse with cards in and a tiny amount of change.)
a phone
keys for car/ house
make up bag with minimum for a day out- concealer, lippie and lip balm, small eye pencil, paracetamol, couple of panty liners.
Tissues
small pack wet wipes
pen

Keys
Phone
Tissues
Lip balm
Small mirror
Eye pencil
Pen

I never used to notice the weight of my bags, but since having children and some issues with my joints I find however light I pack I really feel it after a time. In winter I'm going fully over to pockets!
