00:00 Oh, I'm so zen.

00:01 Do I have to finish the rest of the interview?

00:04 Hi, I'm Emma Watson and I'm headed to London.

00:08 This is what's in my bag.

00:10 So, this is what's in my backpack.

00:15 First of all, this is mine and my brother's gin.

00:18 And you know, you never know when you're gonna need

00:21 just a quick, straight glass of gin.

00:25 In this case, I'm ready.

00:28 Oh, this is one of my favorite things about Prada

00:29 is that she does this like incredible,

00:32 tiny, tiny, mini, mini, mini bag

00:34 that you can put inside the bag.

00:36 And this is what I have with me when I'm at the airport.

00:39 It's just got my passport in it.

00:42 I really love the color of my passport case.

00:44 It's bright blue, so I cannot lose this.

00:48 I also recently had my friend Taylor put inside the marker,

00:52 so I really can't lose it.

00:55 Oh, a bit of a rose mist, you know,

00:57 just a bit of a refresh at a sweaty airport.

01:00 I try to be good about wearing sunscreen.

01:02 Oh, I can't AirPods, why?

01:04 It's so painful.

01:06 You can never find the other AirPod.

01:07 I really just like the old school plug-in ones.

01:11 My friend introduced me to these recently, Zycam.

01:14 I travel all the time and I try not to get sick.

01:16 You literally put this up your nose

01:19 and it stops you from getting sick.

01:21 Even if it's a placebo, it's working on me.

01:24 I've been wearing this for forever.

01:25 It's disgusting now, but this is from the Body Shop.

01:28 It's a lip stain, cheek stain, hand wipes, Altoids.

01:33 You know, you never know.

01:36 Need to have good breath, makeup bag.

01:38 Oh, this is so cute.

01:39 I found this freckle pen recently, which I absolutely love

01:43 and use in the winter when my freckles kind of go away

01:46 and I want to bring out the ones on my nose.

01:49 More Zycam.

01:50 This is Jane Iredale.

01:51 I've been using this lip pencil

01:53 for years and years and years.

01:54 It's in my favorite color, which is called Spice.

01:57 This amazing sponge.

01:59 Isn't that great?

02:01 The thing I probably really can't live without

02:02 is these Body Shop stains.

02:04 And I think they actually might have stopped doing them.

02:07 So I had to buy a bunch of them on eBay

02:09 because I'm so obsessed with them.

02:11 There's a brand called Luna and Aster

02:12 and they do this under eye brightness situation.

02:15 I think probably if I only put these on my face,

02:18 I can get away with very little.

02:20 I've been wearing Tubular Mascara for years.

02:22 I love them because they come off with hot water.

02:24 So when I shower, I don't have to use a makeup remover

02:26 or anything like that.

02:27 And it's kind of more gentle on your eyes.

02:29 When I go to an airport,

02:30 maybe it's the conditioning of being aware

02:32 I might get photographed or there might be paparazzi there,

02:35 but I do try and put myself a little bit together

02:37 for the airport.

02:38 But when I get on the airplane,

02:38 I'll usually take stuff off

02:40 and I will try and moisturize and drink water.

02:44 Oh, I love this lip balm.

02:45 This is amazing.

02:46 It has SPF 15 in it and tea tree.

02:48 So I think I tell myself that it's gonna stop me

02:50 from getting sick as well.

02:53 Bit of a theme coming on here.

02:55 Oh, okay.

02:56 This cannot live without.

02:58 This is my Sleep Master Mask.

02:59 This means I can sleep anywhere.

03:01 You can basically put me on the floor in one of these

03:03 and I will be able to sleep.

03:04 I wear them on trains, airplanes, in bed.

03:07 It's like a hug for your face and it covers your ears

03:09 and you can't hear quite so much.

03:11 And all of my family wear them now.

03:12 All my friends wear them now.

03:13 It's a cult.

03:14 Oh, wait, and then I do this.

03:16 Hang on.

03:16 So you have the Sleep Master Mask on.

03:19 Here's the trick.

03:20 This and then the noise canceling headphones.

03:24 Oh yeah.

03:25 And it's like I can't, I'm just out of space, out of time.

03:29 I can't hear anything.

03:30 I can't see anything.

03:31 So I'm flying back to London for Vogue World,

03:34 which means it'll be an eight hour flight.

03:36 And that means really material.

03:38 I actually like reading physical books the most,

03:41 but I've relented recently and got myself a Kindle,

03:44 which I decided to decorate.

03:46 I really like cats, but I also have physical books

03:49 because I can't not do that.

03:51 This is T.S. Eliot.

03:52 It's the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock,

03:55 but actually this copy has an inscription in it

03:57 from Steve Chbosky,

03:58 who I did the Puck's Being a Wallflower with.

04:01 And it's so sweet, the note that he wrote,

04:03 so I have to read it.

04:03 He gave this to me for my graduation and he said,

04:06 "For Emma on her graduation,

04:07 "these words by T.S. Eliot are forever.

04:10 "So is your passion for learning,

04:11 "for living, for literature.

04:13 "I couldn't be happier for or proud of you

04:15 "for this accomplishment.

04:16 "You inspire me every day.

04:18 "Please enjoy this limited edition for an unlimited life.

04:22 "You are my dear Sam, infinite, Steve Chbosky."

04:25 I mean, he's just the nicest man in the world.

04:29 Inscriptions in books is my favorite thing.

04:31 I've really been enjoying this a lot.

04:33 As you can see, it's a little bit battered,

04:35 but refillable water bottle.

04:38 I love this one.

04:39 It was given to me by a friend

04:42 who I worked on the HeForShe campaign.

04:43 Our 10 year anniversary is next year.

04:45 This is a special one for me.

04:46 This makes me look like a crazy person.

04:49 I'm kind of okay with it.

04:50 Lots of thoughts, feelings, emotions.

04:52 It makes me look very emo.

04:53 I probably am a bit emo.

04:54 This is my ritual.

04:55 This is my daily, every single day I write in this.

04:58 And I write three things from the day before

05:01 that were fun or joyful.

05:04 Three things that happened that were kind,

05:06 either that I did for someone else or they did for me.

05:08 And then I write three things that I thought I did well

05:11 from the day before or that I liked about myself.

05:14 If I had to choose one thing

05:16 that I went on the plane with, with my passport,

05:19 it would probably be this,

05:20 because doing this has been really important.

05:23 Other Smithson diary.

05:24 This one is actually just for genuinely organizing my week

05:26 and my to-do lists.

05:28 So this week, return home to London.

05:31 And I have actually a couple of rest days

05:33 and then Rogue World, which is exciting.

05:37 Oh, pockets.

05:37 Let's go and let's see what's in these front pockets.

05:40 This is, okay.

05:42 So yeah, when I fly a lot,

05:43 I try and use these nose sprays.

05:46 This one is made from oregano oil

05:49 and it's actually really intense.

05:51 You know, you do it and you're like, whoa.

05:54 Oh, my tarot cards.

05:55 This is fun.

05:56 A friend gifted me a deck.

05:58 I think it's so much fun.

05:59 I love the ritual of it.

06:00 I try and pull one every day when I do my journaling.

06:03 This is actually the original tarot deck.

06:04 It's a classic, but I have a few different ones.

06:07 Should we do it now?

06:08 Wow, this on camera.

06:11 I am usually freaked out by how accurate

06:15 the cards I pull from this deck are.

06:17 So let's see what I get.

06:19 I'm giving it a shuffle.

06:20 Now that's interesting.

06:25 As I was shuffling, there's one card that's upturned,

06:28 which makes me feel like that's the one I should pick.

06:31 Oh, interesting.

06:34 Okay, so I pulled the World card.

06:37 Well, actually it was chosen for me by the deck.

06:39 The World represents an ending to a cycle of life,

06:42 a pause in life before the next big cycle beginning.

06:45 It is an indicator of a major and inexorable change

06:48 of tectonic breadth.

06:50 So it stands for achievement, fulfillment, possibilities,

06:54 and potentially successful conclusions.

06:56 I have been sowing a lot of seeds

06:59 over the last four or five years.

07:01 You can't always be in the reaping stage

07:03 or the harvest stage in life.

07:05 Life has seasons.

07:07 For me, the card speaks about a kind of ripeness,

07:09 things coming to fruition.

07:11 Exciting.

07:12 Okay, this is my Prada fragrance.

07:14 I'll often travel with one of these instead of a big bottle.

07:17 And I'll also carry around for when I'm sleeping,

07:19 I'll bring like lavender

07:20 or I'll bring different essential oils as well.

07:23 Deck of cards.

07:24 You never know when you're gonna get stranded somewhere.

07:25 Oh, a really crusty hairbrush.

07:27 These are my things.

07:28 Okay, gotta head to the airport.

07:31 Need to somehow fit all of this back inside the bag.

07:34 Biggest item is definitely gin.

07:36 So that's gonna go in first.

07:39 (can opening)

07:41 That is all 700 items.

07:42 I am ready to go to London.

07:44 Thanks for joining me for What's in My Bag.

07:47 (upbeat music)
