Today's blog post is by me, Jade. Firstly I would like to apologise for the bad lighting in the photos in this blog post. I had to rush taking them and I only had spare time at 6pm in the evening, as you can see it's not the best natural lighting. Anyways this blog post is about the essentials I keep in my bag. I'm definitely one of these people that carry around too much in their bag, so you might think this is an excessive amount of items but I feel it's just the right amount.
Michael Kors Handbag £260.00
So firstly this is my bag. I was lucky enough to receive a Michael Kors handbag for Christmas and ever since then I love it. It's very practical you can either use the small handles that are already on it or it comes with a longer strap to go around your shoulder. I much prefer it with the longer strap. It's nice and spacious inside and I can get a lot inside it. It's a lot of money to start off with but Its worth it.
Umbrella-Penny's- €12.00
I really like this umbrella I got it when I visited Ireland as it was lashing rain down and we needed some sort of protection. This was my favourite and I've used it ever since. It's a really good price and is reliable. I got it from Penny's which is the Irish version of Primark. I take this umbrella with me all the time during the winter seasons as you never know when you're going to need it here in England.
Packet Of Tissues- Primark- £1.00 For A Pack Of 12
This is simple really you always need a tissue for if you have a snotty nose or you have just sneezed. This was from a frozen themed pack of 12 from Primark. I can't moan really you get your value for money and they are in cute packets. I'm such a child when I saw them I just had to buy them.
Hair Bobbles & Grips- Primark - £1.00
There seems to be a theme of items from Primark. I got these hair bobbles and grips from Primark they were £1 each. You never know when you're going to need a spare hair grip or bobble so I always carry spare.
I Phone 5s- Apple- £180.00
I always carry my phone around with me because I like to keep up to date with social media and be able to call and text people whilst I'm on the go. I love my phone it works really well and is just the right size. No more words needed.
Soap & Glory Spray- Boots- £3.00
I received this spray in a gift set of 4. I personally don't like the smell of the other 3. However, I absolutely love this scent. It's called 'Sugar Crush' and its a very fresh scent which is unusual for me as I love a sweet scent. This just reminds me of summer so I always carry it around in my bag because I often feel conscious that I smell awful so it's easy to rectify the problem with a little bit of spritz.
Purse- Dorothy Perkins- £20.00
I really liked this purse so I "borrowed" it off my mum but never managed to give it back. It's a nice small size and has places to put your money notes, coins, cards and sentimental photos. It has a twist lock and keeps everything inside nice and secure.
Keys
They open the front door that leads into my house, I would be stupid if I didn't leave the house without them. I wouldn't be able to get back into my house.
Lipstick- Gosh- £6.00
This was the lipstick I was wearing the day I took the photo. So whatever lipstick I'm wearing I always carry it in my bag so then I can re-apply throughout the day. This lipstick is a matte type which is my favourite type and it applies really nicely and I find it's not too drying on my lips, which I really like. It's a nude shade and is more pinky tone, it's a little like my beloved Mac Velvet Teddy but a little more pinky toned.
Hand Sanitizer- Carex- £2.99
I always like to carry a sanitizer because if your outdoors and shopping or catching the tube etc it can be really filthy and who knows what bacteria is living on the hand rails or door handles. So for my own peace of mind, I just like to carry a bottle just so my hands are clean. Also, this is in the strawberry laces edition which smells divine.
Notebook & Pen- Don't Know- N/A
I love to carry a notepad and pen in my bag because then if you really need to jott something down then you can. Also this is my blog post planning book. So I can schedule the blog posts for when Lydia and I are going to post and what we are going to post. I love the notebook it self its really luxuroius and the detailing is gorgeous. I recieved it as a gift from my step mum so I dont know where it is from, sorry.
Body Lotion- Zoella- £5.00
I use this as a handcream and I normally have my Zoella wonder hand in my bag but recently I packed it in my suitcase because I went somewhere and never got it out. So im subtituting it for my body lotion, they still work the same. It smells really fruity and summery. It is a big bottle to carry around but its just so nice to moisturise your hands on the go if they are feeling dry. I think the product it self is quick drying and works really well. I apply this nearly everyday and its working really well.
Earphones-Apple- £25.00
I got some of these with my phone but I accidentally dropped them in a pot of paint which ruined them. I love them so much that I bought them again. I highly recommend them as they stay in your ears and are a good quiality of sound.
I hope you have enjoyed this blog post, thank you for taking the time to read the blog post. I hope I have given you some ideas to what to pack in your handbag. I hope you have a good day and rememeber to smile.
