We're a small, but dedicated (okay, slightly obsessed) bunch of people who spend hours scouring and scrounging the internet for the good stuff.

Every now and then, we put together a curated list of five things we're currently loving—sometimes they're connected by a theme, sometimes they aren't. Some of these things are useful and practical, some are delightful and collectible. The best ones are delightfully unnecessary.

This week's curation is all about what's in our bag, AKA five good-to-have-on-our-person-at-all-times essentials we're loving (and not leaving home without) this week!

Rs. 769 / BARE NECESSITIES 01 Refillable Natural Deodorant Stick We like that this refillable, natural, aluminium-free, sulphate-free, vegan, non-sticky, good-for-you, and good-for-the-planet deodorant comes in a 'Forever Case' made of recycled chip packets!  We've always admired Bare Necessities' commitment to zero-waste, and we love that their new refillable deodorant is truly circular. Not only is it made from recycled chip packets (five design patents protect the custom-manufactured 'Forever Case' dispenser) but it is also completely refillable (when you run out, you just pop in a refill block which can be purchased separately). Buy once and refill forever; nothing goes to a landfill. It comes in two distinct fragrances: Day In Day Out (citrus, florals, cedarwood, amber) and Oudh Spice (cardamom, rose, toffee, amberwood), both of which are entirely free of all nasties—including aluminum, baking soda, sulphates, and synthetic antiperspirants—which means no pore-blocking or skin irritation. 02 Coffee Nutrition Bite Rauw's nutrition and energy bites are made from clean, sustainably sourced ingredients that are minimally processed, making them a natural, wholesome snack that can be taken everywhere and consumed anytime—to combat mid-day slumps, during a hike, before a live music performance, pre-flight etc—for a quick and clean energy boost or to satiate and satisfy sweet cravings. We like that these bites are handcrafted in small batches, using only 100% natural, plant-based and ethically sourced ingredients, with no added sugar or preservatives. Rs.325 / RAUW Rs.300 / SAT.SUMA 03 Unscented Tinted Lip Balm These all-natural tinted lip balms are available in 3 scent variants (lavender, peppermint, and unscented). They contain a blend of mango butter, shea butter, apricot oil, and almond oil that provides long-lasting hydration, along with rosehip oil that soothes and heals chapped lips while helping reduce lip pigmentation. So, yes, they protect, nourish, moisturize, and add color to lips, but our most favorite thing about them is how they also double up as a cheek tint in a pinch—making this a absolute must to have on hand for when you need a little color before impromptu, post-9-to-5 plans! We like that Satsuma products are made in small batches, with all-natural, unrefined ingredients, and that their packaging is easy on the earth. While the aluminium tin is reuseable, you can collect 10 of these and send them back for a neat discount on their website. 04 Checkmate Scrunchie Set There is no such thing as too many scrunchies, are we right? This particular set comes with 5 scrunchies in four sizes and a cute gingham print, so you always have the right one on hand to add a pop of pattern to your look with a bun, ponytail or braid, and wear your hair up even as you let your hair down!  Bottega Pereira is a family-run design workshop reimagining the modern Indian home through thoughtful textiles. Their signature style marries slow-living Italian sensibilities with Indian textiles to create lifestyle accessories packed with color, whimsy, and comfort. Rs. 450 / BOTTEGA PEREIRA Rs.450 / SALT ORAL CARE 05 Amalfi Spearmint Mouth Spritz We like that this mouth spritz offers both fresh breath AND a complete oral care solution—Hyaluronic acid moisturises oral tissue, while aloe vera extract works as a natural pH neutralizer and aids in tissue regeneration, promoting overall oral health and healing. We're definitely keeping it on hand for after working lunches, post mid-day coffee runs, and before spontaneous meet-cutes!
