What's in my bag?

Lately I've been really enjoying people's posts on what's in their bag, I think it definitely shows what type of person someone is when you see their bag and what they carry in it. So, I thought I'd throw my own bag into the mix. For any of you who are interested my bag itself is a Cambridge Satchel and you can see me talk about it a little bit here. What's inside it genuinely what I normally carry around with me, only I excluded all the crap that's normally in the bottom (copper, bus tickets and recipe cards, normally.)

My notepad and pen, This is actually my pretty butterfly blog notepad, which I don't always carry around with me I was just in need of it today, I do always have some form of notepad with me though. I normally lose the pens I'm carrying within a week, this is a delightful little chewed up one (bad habit.) My headphones go without saying. Normally they'd be my gummi pink headphones but they've broken this week and I haven't had time to replace them, so I'm using my apple ones for the time being.

That tangle of blue ribbon is actually attached to my diary key which used to be permanently tied around my ankle, but quite often came loose in work, so now I leave it in my bag so it's always with me and to make sure my diary is safe from the prying eyes of my parents! Some chewing gum and a packet of migraleve are present in pretty much every bag I own, the chewing gum is a diet thing, I always used to chew it to stop myself eating or drinking things I shouldn't, the migraleve is because I get migraines, obviously. The anatomicals help the paw hand cream is a new addition, so new I haven't actually used it yet, in fact. Now we're into Winter my hands get chapped from washing them so much in work, and so I've thrown this in for a little bit of relief during the day.

Last but not least some lip products Nip+Fab Coconut Latte Lip Balm and Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in "Rule Breaker". These Nip and Fab lip balms I got in a set of three this time last year, they're oily on and perfect for chapped lips in winter. Stay Pout in "Rule Breaker" is a nice dupe for Kate Moss 107, without the perfumey smell, and it can be a lot less drying on the lip, a perfect Winter berry shade.

So there you go, if you can tell a lot about a person from a bag, no doubt a lot of you are wondering how boring one person can be looking at mine!

What do you carry around in your bag?

My favourite things

Already into February, where on earth has 2015 gone! This month I only have one beauty related favourite for you but I have got a few other things I'm loving I thought I'd share with you all, so here they are.

1: Mad Hatters Tearoom & Bakery

Some of you may have seen that in my Chester Haul Post that I'd managed to entice Bek to come with me by using the promise of Mad Hatters. Well, this month it is most definitely one of my favourite things! A very quirky little tearoom with a heavy love for bunting and (of course) Alice in Wonderland, and an absolute delight. Everything from the menus (wooden folders, each decorated with a club, heart, diamond or spade) to the delicate cupcakes capture the imagination. I can personally vouch for the earl grey tea, the feta, tomato and roasted veg panini and the delightfully sickly vanilla cupcakes. All in all, a gorgeous little place to waste a Sunday afternoon with a friend.

2: Max Factor Max Colour Effect Nail Polish

Okay, it's time to 'fess up, I am definitely a nail polish addict. I have special nail varnish shelves in my room full of barely used full sized bottles, only now I've found a better option. How sweet are these little half sized bottles? In my opinion, seeing as these are only half the size you can definitely get away with buying twice the amount of colours... Especially for only £3.99 a piece.

3: Animal Biscuits

I used to take these in my lunch box all the time and completely forgot about them when I stopped taking my own lunch every day. However, I bought a bag of these for Halloween Trick-or-Treaters and found myself eating pretty much all of them, they're actually even better than I remember. Plus, if you're on a diet, there's only 105 calories in a bag of these, so practically guilt free! 

4: Supernatural

Okay I'm a little bit late to the party here, but how good is supernatural? Plus, it's been the perfect Halloween companion seeing as all my friend have been away at uni! If you've never watched it, it's a show about two brothers who hunt demons, only a lot better than it sounds and actually beautifully complex in the later series. It's definitely worth a look, trust me on this one.

What are you loving this month? What do you think of my favourites?

Never let your worth be dictated by anyone other than yourself.

It can't just be me that puts myself down purely based on other people's opinions of me. Well, I shouldn't, and nor should anyone. Your worth is dictated by you, and you only. It's dictated by the way you act, the legacy you plan on leaving, how hard you work, what you contribute to society. So, no matter what anyone else says about you or to you, don't allow them to make you feel like you're worth any less.
