This has been on my list of videos to make ever since I started on CZcams a couple of years ago. I love watching What’s in My Wallet and Whats in my Bag videos myself and have received so many requests to make one so finally, feast your eyes!

My best friend of 30 years is alive bc she got a new heart 11 months ago. Thank you for highlighting being an organ donor.
I’m so happy for you and your friend!
wow!!!!
Every 2nd Thuesday I buy a snack, make a coffee and watch your videos. Every 2nd Thuesday I,'m happy. Thank you, Benita.
Aww, I love your routine! Thank you!
Snack and coffee? That's fika! Totally in the mood with Benita's 🍮☕
My bag in 2020 - 3 masks, 2 different kinds of hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, extra disposable mask, sanitizing wipes...
Que neuraaa! 😂
What a beautiful person you are Benita. I had a heart transplant in 2014 and at the time was told I had at most, 3 weeks to live. I was blessed with a donor heart after only 3 days in hospital. It is thanks to my donor and others like you who are registered as organ donors, that I am still alive today and here for my sons. There is nothing more selfless than the gift of life so from my transplanted heart to yours, a huge thank you.. 💕💕🙏
I’m so happy you were able to receive a donor organ!
Your donor card made me feel a little emotional. Such a selfless and generous gesture.
Thank you! It’s really not that big of a deal. I registered as a donor back in 1996 because it just made sense.
A lot of countries actually let people automatically be a donor unless they state otherwise (online, via snailmail etc) such an easy solution
Same here. In Belgium everyone is a donor unless specified otherwise. Unfortunately the family can refuse to donate the organs of the deceased. I think that is outrageous. Even when you made up special documents that state you’ll donate your organs they still can. I know Belgium is a country of many laws and even more “back gates” but this is about saving other peoples lives !!! And what is worse not respecting ones last will !
Have you ever seen that Monty Python episode where they took the guys organs prematurely because he registered himself as a donor? Funny, but scary!
Think so. Over the course of time which Monty Python did one not see 😃. But it’s too long ago to remember details. Anyway I would like them to wait until I’m dead before they run away with mine 😱And since I have no family left or at least none that cares what happens to me once I’m dead that’s not going to be an issue. My husband will surely respect whatever I decide.
The cutest thing I ever saw is the foto of your son, and the sweetest is the bone marrow donor card! You are a very special person, watching your videos I think of you as a dear friend! Good afternoon from Athens.
He’s still as sweet but more grown up these days 🤗
"Haven't used those in Sweden since the 80s" re checks. YES! It drives me bonkers that US banks still find it easier to deal with checks than making electronic banking easier.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for highlighting the subject of bone marrow and organ donation. I know it may not be for everyone, but as a clinician I know how great the forward impact of it can be.
To anyone reading this, please also consider speak to your loved ones about your wishes, to make it a little easier for them to understand should something awful happen
Thank you for the work you do!
Yes. Very important. Should be mandatory.
”in my alive state” such a cute way to put it =)
I must also point out that using your work phone for personal use means that your employer can monitor much of your personal use of it. You never know when society might decide to have something against you for some reason, so I would encourage everyone to keep work and personal us on separate devices as much as possible. It may be less efficient but is much safer.
Thank you for another "well organized" video. I have told my friends should they experience a cluttered time in their life, to go and tune to your channel. And now I hear you are an "organ" donor, the more they should watch your videos. As for me you are one woman who is good to emulate. Continue doing what you love, we will be waiting for the next one. . Stay safe always.❤
Thank you so much!
So very nice and so organized, love how you keep your tote bag and things in it. Thank you for sharing. Cards only is such a great idea, coins are heavy, dirty and paper money too. Like how it is where you live.
It’s so nice to go cash-less!
I love watching these type of videos. So interesting to see what other people carry. I love that you are an organ donor. 👍🏻
Thank you so much!😊
I love "Whats in my Bag" videos. It helps keep me inspired to keep mine organized. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching the videos!😊
I read a comment a couple of videos back that described you as elegant and now every video of yours that I watch, I think, “Yes! Benita is truly elegant.” Your minimalist style and habits are so lovely. 💕
Oh wow, I would never describe myself as elegant. More like the opposite, boyish.
I think in the sense that you put thought and care into how you do things, choose things, no matter the style label. ☺️
I think more classy than elegant would be the description I would use ✨
Your bone marrow offer is so beautiful! I love watching your channel, it makes me feel peaceful. xx
Hi Benita! I’m Watching from New York 🗽! I love your CZcams channel ! Your videos are well done , relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
I love how you live so intentionally. I enjoy all your videos, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
I am so happy that I found your channel! I managed to watch all your videos in 1 day 😳😊. CZcams should have more channels like yours. Minimal, calming, Scandinavian... I love all of your videos, keep up the great work!
It’s odd how we are interested in what others have in their purses! Good video. Your purse is as tidy and minimal as your home!! ❤️
I do enjoy tidyness everywhere 😊
Benita Larsson I enjoy it too. Just not a fan of the effort. Lol 🤷🏻♀️
How did I miss this video ?!
My bag requirements are very similar to your own Benita- I also prefer a freestanding tote which I carry by hand.
I have a super one at the moment which works year round but I'd like to replace at some point.
I prefer a weather resistant non leather outer, preferably in navy blue.
Not too large- perhaps slightly smaller than your LLBean bag and it must have an outer pocket for my keys and bus pass.
I always carry a small umbrella, small purse, bus pass, keys, tissues, mints, lip salve, phone, a small deodorant spray and headache tablets (just in case) Also my little paper monthly planner & pen. And 2 folded bags for grocery shopping.
Gone are the days when I owned a wardrobe of bags !
I do often use a small cross body bag , especially when I will be walking longer distances.
There is a good bag company called Roka London who make nylon rucksacks, cross body bags and purses in a variety of colours - I wish they would add some totes to their collection! 🛍
The organ donor card part surprised me. Thanks for sharing that idea.
Thank you so much for watching!
Your videos are so grounded and feel so good to watch after a hectic day. Thank you for sharing what was in your bag!
Thank you so much for watching!
Benita I love watching your videos. You are so inspiring. You truly live an intentional life. I particularly like it when you explain why you like certain products and your thought process as to why you do things and follow a certain lifestyle. Thank you for your wisdom and mindfulness.
Thank you so much!
Why do we love knowing what’s in everyone’s bag?? We just do!! 😜😜 I carry a cross body purse that basically looks like a wallet with a strap! No money no change or credit cards either! As you know I love your lifestyle & everything you do especially your videos!! I hope you & your boys are doing well!! Waiting for the next video!! 💗💗
I know, so interesting, right!?
I’ve been zooming through all your vlogs .....I must have really taken everything to heart as first thing when I got up this morning I emptied 7 drawers and threw out all kinds of junk........I’m not nearly a minimalist but I did do some serious purging.....how many broken photo frames does one person need.............take care Donna in Toronto
I like to carry an old fashioned handkerchief, and a small kitchen hand towel. They are washable, and replace the need for tissues and paper napkins. I also carry some wet wipes to sanitize public bathroom surfaces.
I’m also thinking of bringing back handkerchiefs this fall!
You've sold me on the LL Bean tote. I've been back and forth for years on buying one. Have a messenger bag from LL Bean, which I've had for around 20 years, but really want a tote at this point in my life. I like that it stands on its own and doesn't fold over on itself. :)
The large is a great weekend or overnight bag.
As always, I love your newest video. I own several totes, but don't carry any of them. I have a lanyard with a detachable driver's license-sized wallet that works for me. I live in a rural area, so I keep most essentials in my car.
I’m sure I’d go down that route too if I drove!
Very nice. Keep to the basics. I hate clutter too.
Enjoy your day. ❤
Thank you so much!
I was in desperate need of a minimalist inspiration (as I'm trying to complete the Minimalist Game this month for the first time) and was thrilled to see you just posted a video! I really enjoyed what's in my bag video a few years ago, but always felt like a urge to add some "in case of" items after watching them. On the contrary, your video was simple, satisfying and even made me feel good about the content of my own bag. Thank you and have a great day!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear that!
You got me thinking of getting a LLBean bag again. I loved those, for some reason I did not replace my last one.
Love me a good classic!
the mystery tote is cute
Turns out it's not a mystery anymore. I got a comment saying it's by Zign!
A Skansen card 😍 That is really the most special thing to carry in a handbag, was there 10 yrs ago and still think of the place often 🍂🍁🌤💚
The best place for sure!
I have watched this wonderful video with great interest and then glanced into my handbag with horror ...tissues and papers crammed into one pocket and money thrown into another ...i immediately threw everything out and tidied it all up . Thanks for the inspiration Benita ❤️ my handbag thanks you too !
I’m so happy you found my video useful!
I also think it’s important to never buy cheap umbrellas. Uniqlo makes the strongest and the most wind resilient umbrellas that are also affordable. I’ve had mine for 12 years.
Ooh, good to know! We have Uniqlo here in Stockholm!
I have the black one. With the zip.
Where did you get the black bag?
You bring such a softness and lightness to all your videos....genuine honesty and what you see is what you get....Soooo enjoy your channel...Villa (sp) is soo cute and I see a lot of you in his sweet face...Big Hugs
Thank you so much!😊
I love "What's in my bag" videos! Lovely tote. I used to have one but started walking to work so switched to a small leather backpack. Donor card - what a great idea! Will look into including one myself. Thanks for sharing 😊💕
Thank you so much for watching!
I found your channel on the weekend and I’ve been obsessively watching it. I am now up to date and longing for more. I love your humour and voice as much as the content. So inspiring. Thank you so much.
Aww, thank you and welcome!
your videos make me so happy - the items in your bag - simple and clutter free
As usual another great video! I have several of those totes. I get the zippered top because I’m constantly knocking mine over, especially in the car. Also, I’m a fan of the Fisherman’s Friend Cough Lozenges.👍🏻
I wish they came in a few more flavors in the sugar version 😊
I do love your Incognito tote. It is ashame it is no longer available for purchase. I also use my LL Beat Boat and Tote as a purse...mainly for its simplistic design and ease of getting things in and out (I like to carry a small moleskin notebooks because I like to jot things down). I will look for a similar Incognito tote like yours because I love the classic shape and look! New subscriber and so lucky to have found your channel!
Loved this video and love the trainers you are wearing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Benita, I just discovered you and wanted to leave you some love after watching several of your videos 🤍
Minimalism is very dear to my heart, and eventhough I personally don't practise the full concept, there is still much to learn from it: I simply love the look on consuming consciously, keeping only favourites and having less stuff in general, which are the principles I have adapted for my own life and that works for me.
I really like how calm your videos are and how you speak about minimalism in general - and how relaxed and at ease you seem to be :) - not to mention your beautiful videography and choice of music. Your sometimes unexpected humorous little comments make it even more fun to watch, and oh, how adorable is it that one of your cats is named Bonus! 😍 They are both so super sweet and it makes me so happy seeing them in your videos! You have been so thought-provoking for me and I have discovered one or the other solution for those little daily-life annoyances I've had for a while.
Thank you for putting in all the work - I know how long it takes to plan, film, edit and voiceover a video and I really appreciate, that you put your time into that!
Also thank you for writing out such detailed lists on alll the items on your blog (i love lists), it is so well done! I discovered organic basics through you and love the quality! Let me pass on a recommendation of a personal favourite in return: I don't know if you know the site already, but "Erlich Textil" is my facourite brand for all things sustainable loungewear and underwear in neutral colours. It is based in Germany, but has an English version of their site and I absolutely recomment them!
Either way, at the end of this long comment: your content is great; all the best

When my daughter was born I quit carrying a purse. I put keys in one pocket and my phone with a card wallet on the back in the other.
But I do drive, so lip balm, nail clippers and such are in a makeup bag in my door.
When you don’t drive you need to carry everything on your person 😊
I love a tote it holds every thing. And stand up you have more in your bag than I do but I need to. Get more organized so I will try
You can get LL Bean delivered to Sweden? I am so relieved haha. I’m moving to Norway (for love) and one of the things that stresses me out a bit is the thought of no longer having access to LL Bean shearling slippers haha. The absolute best house shoes of all time and my go to holiday gift as well!
You can and shipping is pretty fast!
Oh no, I now have to wait another fortnight until your next video. I make my breakfast, turn my laptop on, wait for my family to leave the house and when I see you have posted, it makes my day! Thanks so much Benita.
I’m so happy you enjoy my videos!😊
Hi Benita, thanks for another lovely video. I prefer a 'landscape' tote bag, but my current one is 'portrait' - it's bright pink from a market in Italy and there's a small pouch attached, so I can carry my cards and other small stuff. An LL Bean just opened up in Ottawa so I'm excited to see the legendary totes in real life - I'm guessing that they last a long time.
I love what’s in my bag videos too! I guess masks aren’t mandatory in Sweden (then you would probably have one in your bag) Also, I know you aren’t a fan of cooking, but would you consider doing a what I eat in a day or what you have for dinner video? Have a great day Benita 😊
I'm guessing the mask is on her face rather than in her bag 😊
I agree!! I know you don’t cook & I know your morning routine is coffee & oatmeal (porridge) 💗 and I love your salads!! ☺️ We need to see more!
@@kristinestocker no, it's not mandatory here.
nope, the swedish government chose not to institute any lockdown rules and made mask wearing/social distancing voluntary. as a result their COVID-19
mortality rate is 10-20 times higher than their neighbors, Norway and Finland. So incredibly sad, i hope benita is staying safe!
@@mere0 where did you get those number from?
Such a calming video.
"I'm so particular, I know" I feel you 👍😂
Haha, so difficult to find things when you know exactly what you want 😂
Amen to your bag specs. Exactly what I like. Love your vlog.
Thank you so much for watching!
so beautifully organised...you reminded me of Baggu ! I bought my 1st in a tiny design store north of Boston Mass. ( Obama campain year) the designer( shop owner's friend)had just launched her new product...
I knew she was onto a winner !
It’s such a good size and can carry such a heavy load 🙌🏻
Enjoyed.....pretty bag for Spring/Summer......looks pretty with your white shoes and jeans.
Thanks for sharing Benita. I wish I had known about Skansen when I visited Sweden a couple of years ago - ...next time. Awaiting your next excellent video 🙂
Thank you so much!
Hello, thank you for the video. Have you considered putting your small items e.g. your lipsill, keys and airpods in a small toiletry-like bag? I do this to avoid having to rummage through my bag to find small items. I also watched another lady on CZcams who recommends buying a bag that has a lighter colour inside oppose to black to make it easier to see things inside 😀
Fab , one of my favourites so far . Love a nosey in people’s bags . 👍🏻❤️
Thanks so much for noseying!
Interesting how you like to carry your bag as a handbag or on the crease. I like the option to be able to also put a bag on my shoulder though - so always looking for the right handle length. I’m partial to totes that are longer than they are high - I just like seeing the bottom easier. But currently using a Madewell tote that is a little longer. And I’m right there with you on the non-black wallet. Thanks for sharing!
I used to have about 20 loyalty cards in my purse but I have most of them registered on my phone now. Using an app for store cards is a great way to declutter your wallet! But I always have a bit of cash on me in case I go somewhere that doesn’t take a card. Love your tote bags. And also your trainers which look super comfortable 😃
Thank you so much for watching!
It's funny as my other minimalist CZcamsr did a what's in my bag two days ago 🤭 I keep it simple but now desinfectant and mask are in my small handbag as well. I like a short strap as I carry my bag in my hand or arm crease too ☺️
The What’s in my bag videos are evergreen!🙌🏻🌿
So few items Benita. I try but end up with receipts, lipstick I’m not wearing, all sorts of store cards etc.
In Australia, for bone marrow donation you can nominate when you give blood donations. I feel guilty now. I should be a regular donor. My sister donates plasma. If we nominate to donate any or all organs we have that recorded with our driver’s licence. It’s good because they always check when we are getting a renewal. It’s easy that way because so many people wouldn’t get around to it. And we are encouraged to let our family know our wishes too.
Nice bags! Thanks Benita. I love your videos.
Interesting! I used to be a blood donor too but I’ve been rejected the last few times due to high blood pressure.
A pleasure as always! Love the bags!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Find you very authentic as well as enjoyable thanks for your videos
Thank you so much!😊
Live how simple you keep things. I wish we did not have all those grocery and drugstore saver cards to cart around in the U.S.
Such a nuisance. I had a couple of more cards a while back but the stores made it possible to connect their loyalty cards to my debit card so I switched immediately.
Carol Schurter Can those cards be scanned onto your phone? I refuse them because I don’t want to carry them around. So far every card I have is connected to my cell phone number so I just give that number at check out.
Lisa Regehr I did not think if that but I probably could; thanks for the tip :)
That's pretty much the same amount of things I keep in my bag. Wallet, reusable bags, with reusable especially bags for fruits and veggies at the grocery store, phone, keys, little bag for medicine and other bits and bobs, ipod shuffle (I don't use my phone for music). I don't need an umbrella as we have literally 350 days of sun nowadays in Southern Central Europe. Also we still have money and I have no donor card because I am not allowed to.donate.
Loved it!!! Gave me great ideas for my wallet. Wanted something more simple and will try something like yours. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!😊
Wow!! Beautiful video! You are so organized! It inspires me a lot!
Hello! I love your wallet!
My husband and I had planned to visit Stockholm in late September, but... [pandemic]. Take care. Seeing a video from you is always a pleasure.
Hope we can all travel safely again soon!
I like this BAG , BENITA.
Bravo Benita, just 2 bags! The essential. I tend to have a lot of black in my bag too and the wallet is animal print hehe. Love bags and change them a lot. I have a sistem so it is easy and for leisure I still prefer a backpack. Nice video. Thank you.
Two bags us more than enough for me. I’d just forget stuff if I had to move things from one bag to another 🥴
Benita, I love your videos. I have only recently discovered them. Would you mind sharing where you got the pillows for your couch. Thank you!
I made them!
Love the organization - right down my alley!
As always, a lovely video to watch. I always look forward to your videos. Greetings from Nevada 😊
I’m so happy to hear that!
Very similar to mine! Yeahhhh Ian walking to become a minimalist..........💙🇨🇴
Hej Benita, I'm new writing here but not watching, hehe. Thank you for your videos, I love them...There's a lot that I'm trying to achieve regarding going small, capsule wardrobe, organizing tips...and I get many ideas from you...I spend my life right now, between Denmark and Spain, so many things you use/do are also normal for me.. Your totes are so cute, but your donor card tells me that you are great person...And well, with just more than 50, I have finished a Nutrition Coaching course, I'm so glad...Never is too late to learn ;-) Vi ses !!
Totally, learning new things is a great way to stay current regardless if age!
Great video! It’s nice to see some old school CZcams videos! Thanks for sharing!
I really like your videos! And you have a super relaxing voice
I even have a separate small wallet only for coins. That's what I carry around if I go for coffee ☕to the cafe in my quartier in Paris as often in France they don't accept cards up to certain amounts 😤.
I love the sound of “quartier in Paris” but I totally agree on the coin situation!
would you be showing us What's in my bag 2024 version?
Quando assisto aos teus vídeos fico maravilhado. São simples, práticos e transmitem uma paz!. Sou do sul da Europa ( Portugal ), mas tenho um grande fascínio pelos países escandinavos, principalmente pela Suécia.
Desejo-te muito sucesso!!!! Um abraço!.
Thank you so much!
i’m also very particular about my tote. I’ve not found one to replace my 15 YO one.
I love rucksacks, most of the items are the same in there as in your bag. I can carry it on my back which I find easier. And of course, the zipper is always stuck when I am in a hurry. Instead of scraps of cloth, I wear scraps of yarn. Funny is it, almost exactly the same stuff in our bags ;>D
Tack för inspirationsdosen, Benita. Jag passar på att gå igenom min väska samtidigt som du visade ditt innehåll och vi har liknande saker med oss. Eftersom jag har en bit att pendla brukar jag alltid försöka ta med mig en frukt och en vattenflaska också.
I love the donation card . I have one
Looks like kitty cat wanted to be in your bag as well!
She wants to get into everything I do😊
Benita Larsson I miss having a cat! I’m really a cat person, I grew up with them. Now I have a dog who is very cat-like, but she won’t let me have a cat. She is a Keeshond.
I have the same tote in green. Love it!
Such a good tote, right!?
Wow you are so extremely organized. I am the oposite but i like to watch your videos.
I’m glad you still enjoy them!
You should look into secrid wallets, they are amazing and super minimal
I’m intrigued! Will google!
I love you Benita. Thanks for inspiring me
The perfect amount of stuff👌🏼 Nothing unnecessary
Thank you so much for watching!
Good evening Benita :)...well done....thank you so much. love from Canada :)
Love your videos Benita! I’m a big fan of Baggu. I somehow can’t seem to avoid carrying multiple bags. Do you have a separate bag for lunch or fit that in the main bag? Also, where are your sneakers from? Looking forward to your next video ☺️
It would fit in my main bag but I don’t carry or eat lunch #ibs
My sneakers are Steffey from Acne Studios.
My fav part of the video is the cat especially towards the end when it was playing. Btw I might have missed it in your room tour but where did you place your cats litter box?
It’s in the entry. You can see it in a Day in the life video.
Benita Larsson thank u
Wonderfully organized video but I was wondering what shoes you were wearing in. The r beginning of the video they look nice!
They are the Steffey style from Acne Studios!
Hey Benita, I’ve only just found your channel and as you can probably tell... I’m loving the videos - really lovely to watch and incorporate some of your ideas with my home and lifestyle! 😊 hello from 🇬🇧 UK! Also we are automatically donors now unless we specify otherwise... I think that only changed in the last few years or so... you used to have to sign up to be a donor! Good steps forward 👍🏻💛
I’m so happy you enjoy the videos!
hello Benita, thank you for your channel and inspirations. I love the small table/stool you have, wondering where I could find a similar one? We particularly enjoyed the video of your son's new apartment thank you.
Th stools are by Artek www.artek.fi/en/products/stool-60
@@BenitaLarsson thank you Benita!
perhaps you posted but what is the brand of your white sneakers? love them!
They’re the Steffey style from Acne Studios!
@@BenitaLarsson thank you so much-i really, really enjoy your content-keep it coming!
Benita I so enjoy listening and watching your videos. The minimalistic life would so suit me but I find it almost impossible to toss enough to achieve it so I watch yours..lol Do you not carry water in your bag?
Sometimes in summer I do but it’s not always in my bag.
I love all your videos!!!
