What's In My Every Day Bag!


As you can tell by the title, this post is going to be what's in my bag! To be honest, I love these posts! I find them ever so interesting and I also admit that I to like be nosey, haha.

The bag I use is just a brown long strapped bag from Primark/Penny's. I like this bag because it's big enough to carry all my little bits an bobs but then it is small enough to just grab an go. I also like how I can put it across my shoulders and to me it increases security of my belongings.

I also carry around with me my glasses. I mainly need my glasses for reading and seeing long distance too so for me they are a necessity.
Of course my phone is always with my too. As my mum says it is practically glued to me. My phone is just a small Samsung Ace. As you can see it is white but on the back there is a grey floral pattern which makes it a bit more girly.

Excuse my iPod's smashed screen. It happened when it was in my coat pocket and I went to get off the bus, as my coat wasn't zipped up when I walked my coat swung as I was walking an hit a pole on the bus. :( However, it still works very well and I always have it with me as my journey to college is around one hour on the bus.

I then have my Cath Kidston bus pass holder which I purchased for only three pounds at an outlet store. I always have my bus pass, student card and any other cards when I cannot be bothered to carry around my big purse.
My purse is from New Look and of course there are cards and change etc in it.
There is always a lip balm and hand sanitiser in my bag. This is another necessity for me as I cannot stand the thought of all those germs from the bus on my hands and it all just spreading, ewww. I shiver just thinking about it! Lip balms tend to vary depending on what I fancy that day. The one in the picture is my Eos one (review here.

I then also have my keys and my headphones.
I don't normally carry much make-up with me. I might carry some lipstick or powder with me but not very often.
Sometimes I may carry wet wipes or tissues etc during winter for example.

What do you carry around with you?

Update!

Hello my lovely readers! How are you all?


TGIF! Hooray it's Friday, finally the weekend is here! I hope you all have had a great week.Unfortunately, I've been in the hospital since Wednesday as I had my appendix taken out on Wednesday night. It's a common operation but does leave you extremely sore afterwards. It does take around two weeks to fully recover but obviously it depends on the person as every person is different.
I will try and keep blogging as much as I can!

Anyways, here's a few pictures from my time in hospital. In the first picture it's me and my new friend called Bianca. I know I look rough but to be honest I just had surgery, who can blame me!The second picture is me in my hospital bed with the tube in my arm, I was really feeling sorry for myself then because it was the morning after my operation. The third picture is of my table I had over my bed with a couple of magazines on and also the balloon my mum brought me to not make the place look so dull.



            


I'm still in a lot of pain so my plan for this weekend is just to chill and relax. Miko is home for the weekend so he can take care of me, hehe! Bless him. 
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about my op etc! 

What have you guys and gals been up to this week? & Got any plans for the weekend?

I'm afraid I'm only going to answer questions from the top three blogs as a) this would be an extremely long blog post. b) some of the questions are the same or similar so there is no point in answering the same questions over and over again.
Please, do not be offended by this! If there are any questions you would like me to answer, just let me know!

2) Do you have any weird habbits, what?
Umm, only with the way I eat my food. For example, I have to nibble the chocolate off of a Kit Kat before I eat the rest of it...but I guess a lot of people do that so it's not that weird? I also have to carry hand sanitiser and anti bacterial wipes everywhere with me...I guess that's kinda weird?

Depends really on how much money I have to spend! I recently went into Boots and spent £40! Although, I did have a £20 voucher. Normally it would be around £20 I guess?

3. Jason Mraz - I'm yours

Happy Monday Everyone!


Hello my lovelies!


 I hope you are all having a good start to the new week. I am sorry for not posting as much at the moment, I've simply just been sooooo busy with college. Also this weekend I went to visit Mikolaj, who is my lovely boyfriend ! He's currently studying at Swansea University.
So I thought I would just share with you all some of the photos I took when I was in Swansea .



These photos were taken on Sunday, the weather was a bit chilly but it was rather sunny too. We had such a lovely walk on the beach and afterwards we went for ice cream at this amazing place called Joe's Ice Cream. Their ice cream is the best I've ever had! It so smooth and creamy.








So I'd love to know how you spent your weekend! & What did you get up to? Let me know in the box below!

Pierce it up!


Hello eveyone! 
How are you all? I hope you are all having a good week.


I just wanted to quickly share with you all my new piercing.
So last weekend my boyfriend treated me to a piercing, well in fact it was a late Christmas present as I had to have a scan and couldn't have any metal on me.
Anyways,I decided to get a piercing called the Rook. I got the piercing at Blue Banana. It cost £12.50 including the after care bits and bobs.
The piercing itself hurt a fair bit but it was over quickly and the pain didn't last very long at all.



Do you have any piercings? & If not, then what piercing would you like?
