What’s in Ariana’s bag

The 8 essentials, with what she says about each one and the minute it shows up. Grouped the way she groups them.

  1. Ariana Draganoiu with her pink headphones Now on screen

    Habit

    Headphones

    «Creo que pues unos buenos cascos, ¿no? Por los viajes.»

    It’s the first thing she pulls out, right after saying she doesn’t know where to start.

  2. Ariana Draganoiu with her black suction phone mount Now on screen

    Social media

    Phone suction mount

    «La verdad, me ha salvado de muchas, sobre todo en hoteles.»

    For filming TikToks: she sticks her phone to a window or a glass door, where the good light usually is.

  3. Ariana Draganoiu’s clear makeup bag Now on screen

    Hobby

    Makeup

    «Para lucir hay que sufrir.»

    She loves doing her makeup: when she’s bored, she tries things out at home. It weighs a ton, but it goes in the backpack.

  4. Ariana Draganoiu with her pink Crocs covered in pins Now on screen

    Comfort

    Crocs

    «Me quito las Crocs y ya me duermo así.»

    Pink, like the headphones and the sleep mask. They’re the comfiest: she falls asleep anywhere and doesn’t have to deal with laces.

  5. Ariana Draganoiu smiles, holding her sleep mask Now on screen

    Travel

    Sleep mask

    «Soy una persona que puedo dormir con cualquier ruido.»

    What she can’t handle is light, especially on trains and planes.

  6. Ariana Draganoiu’s black hair ties Now on screen

    Hair

    Hair ties

    «800 coleteros, o sea, yo no puedo vivir sin esto.»

    She has a lot of hair and her ponytails come undone at the slightest thing, so she always carries loads. That day she had three in.

  7. Ariana Draganoiu’s pink claw clip, stained red Now on screen

    Hair

    Claw clip

    «Si alguien tiene dudas, obviamente es mía, está toda pintada de rojo.»

    With her hair dyed red, at the beach or the pool she tries to keep her head out of the water: clip it up and done.

  8. Ariana Draganoiu’s heart-print notebook Now on screen

    Thoughts

    Notebook

    «Aquí escribo lo que se me pase por la cabeza.»

    Paragraphs, quotes, songs that go with the book she’s reading. And the lovely message a stranger gave her in the street.
