My bag essentials...

I know I have done a post before about what's in my bag however this is a little different as this is what I think I need in my bag on a daily basis. As a blogger I get certain moments of inspiration so I need things to document that and some other beauty essentials that keep me looking nice throughout the day.  Anyway my little lovelies ENJOY!



This is just a brief overview of my daily essentials minus my portable charger as it has currently been stolen by Nathan while he is away. Seriously he has like two or three of my chargers at camp with him for when he gets sent into the field or anything. Anyway apart from that these are just a few of my basics but to me they are really important as I would panic without some of them. The bag featured in this post is my most used at the minute that I bought in March from Primark and if I am right it was around £9. I love this bag as I had a huge bag before this and it just got in the way and sometimes knocked me out of it swung round while I was bent down or anything haha. I love the tassel detail on this bag and it has two pocked on the inside for things like my phone and a large zipper compartment in the bag which I keep bobbles, sunglasses and pens in. 


So these are my bag essentials, starting off with a notebook and pen. Sometimes I get burst of inspiration like for blog post ideas and if I anything I write it down so I can put it in a blogpost with other purchases and separate them into fashion, beauty and homeware. I love this notebook as I purchased it recently from Oklahoma in Manchester, it has the cutest duck egg blue marble cover with copper lettering on the front. This is really slim line but also fits well into my bag so it doesn't take up a lot of room. 

Next up is a spray/perfume I actually keep two in my bag the Tease Impulse and this cute little perfume from Primark for around £2 which smells so floral and girly. It is just a great size for a handbag especially when I down sized from a large bag. Coming onto the other beauty products I keep three lip products in my bag starting off with my current lip favourites. The Rimmel 1000 kisses in Cappuccino I was lusting over this for such a long time and then when I seen it in Boots I snatched it up because for £2.99 it is such a deep brown shade and compliments the Mac Lipstick in Viva GLAM II which is described as a pink mauve/muted pink-beige. Combining the lipstick and lip liner together deepened the colour of the lipstick and it just created this really gorgeous natural colour with an extremely pouty look. If I am feeling really dark with my lips I use the Primark lip crayon in Brown which is one of my favourites for a dark brown lip look. 


Next up in my bag essentials would be weather based items. Manchester is so indecisive with it's whether so carrying an umbrella for those unexpected rain showers which we are known for and in recent cases sunglasses as of recent the weather has been so sunny and amazing. Definitely cocktail weather! I bought the umbrella recently from Primark for £4 as I only had a leather jacket on and it was raining like crazy yet it was sunny when I went in. Likewise, I also bought the sunglasses from Primark for £2 as they are stunning with a brown tinted shade and copper frames which is a win in my books. Finally, I also need my purse in my bag because everything costs money, I also carry my lip products in my purse as they tend to roll around my bag otherwise. I actually bought this purse from Home Bargains in their Mother's Day range they had a matching bag but I normally have simple bag colours like black and brown. I love this purse as it super large and carries all my cards as I have so many for food places and especially beauty such as Boots and Superdrug. 

Anyway my lovelies that is all for this blogpost feel free to comment your bag essentials I would love to read them.

All my love,

My favourite scents...

I have a few scents in my collection and honestly I don't change them much, I'm not into musky scents or anything that makes my nose twitch I'm very floral and fresh scents. So when it comes to perfumes I definitely pick scents I will love all year round and if I want to smell like citrus in winter I sure as hell will. I've decided to not just include perfumes in this but sprays as well so SORRY if this is misleading I am a bad human being I UNDERSTAND! Anyways ENJOY!



Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Spray £4.00 Boots

A sweet spray, with a fruity lime twist. I adore this spray as much as I adore the other Sugar Crush products such as the body wash and body butter which I buy none stop! It is so fruity and we all know I am a lover of lime scents so this is my heaven spray! Deffinetly worth it for the price £4.00 that's amazzzzing Soap and Glory were good to us when they created this product!

Impulse Tease Body Spray £1 Boots

I have like back ups of this spray because I use it everywhere the gym, before I go out and on holidays. It is very fresh and nice even though it is red fruits and wood which makes no sense to me. I think sprays are the perfect thing to have just because they are easier than perfumes and this has been my favourite Impulse for years since high school.


Calvin Klein Reveal 30ml £38 Boots

This perfume for me was a lucky find as I smelt it in a magazine like Glamour or Cosmopolitan. I smelt it just before christmas 2014 so I asked my mum for it for Christmas. Characterised by sensual sandlewood this perfume is just very fresh to me but does remind me of warmth in a way it's multi-tasking I suppose haha.


Killer Queen by Katy Perry £19.25 100ml Boots 

 This is currently on offer in boots for £19.25 for the biggest bottle, and like the above perfume I smell it in a magazine and was instantly in love. Described to be scented with Dark Plum, Wild Berry and Bergamot to me it is heavenly and a lot of Lush products have bergamot in so maybe there's a new love for me. So I just googled bergamot and it's also called Citrus bergamia or the bergamot orange and my favourite scents are citrus and orange so WIN! The packaging of this is beautiful and so stunning so well done to the creators!


Ralph Lauren Romance £40.15 50ml Boots

I love this perfume so much as it was a gift of Nathan for when he came home from Canada so it has very good memories for me. It is currently my handbag perfume and it is so fresh! With Sungoddess rose, lychee and camomile this perfume is so smoothing and is rather floral scent so it makes me think of love and is a nice date night perfume.


Britney Spears Curious £20 100ml Boots

This is like a timeless perfume I'm sure most girls have been given a Britney Spears perfume sometime in their life. But to be honest they are lovely perfumes most of them smell unreal and their inexpensive so it's worth it. Nathan completely loves this perfume on me and always asks me to wear it because he will always give me cuddles and stuff because he likes it haha. With white flowers and vanilla this is a sweet scent, I don't use it as much as the others but it is still a favourite.


Zoella Beauty Blissful Mistful £8 45ml Superdrug

Nathan was a little love and bought me this during one of our shopping trips. This a super light a feminine body spritz with fresh and floral scents. It is enriched in Vitamin E and fruit extracts which is also a bonus! I love Zoella's range it is so inexpensive and it just all smells amazing! Super well done for creating such amazing products that she worked so hard to make and isn't the packaging just perfect!

Well that is all my lovelies for my favourite scents!

Hope you enjoyed.

All my love,
