what's in my bag?

hey! i love looking at tag posts - especially a what's in my bag. i'm super nosy and love seeing what other people lug around with them on a day to day basis and i thought it would be fun to share my own! 

this is my bag. i bought it in october whilst in new york from Mango and have used it every day since i bought it! it's just the right size for me, not too big and not too small and i love the shape and structure of it. inside it has a zip pocket for my phone and things and has a lovely purple lining.

the first thing i carry round in my bag is a hand cream. i always always always make sure to have and use hand cream regularly. working with food and drinks means i am constantly washing my hands which leaves them dry and horrid! carrying a good hand cream around in my bag means i always remember to use it so my hands don't end up looking like some kind of trolls. my current favourite is this intensive hand cream from super drug. i also really love the palmers hand cream which smells incredible.

my iPod always travels around with me. the only problem i have is making sure i remember to charge it - it's the worst when i'm out and about and realise my iPod is flat! i need to get one of those portable chargers. or maybe just not be so forgetful all the time!

obviously i have my purse which i always keep in my bag. this one is from mango. i bought it when i got my bag in new york. i LOVE this purse. it's the perfect size and fits all my cards and stuff in and i love the simple design of it.

i always make sure to carry a hand sanitiser around with me. i used to use the soap and glory hand gel but recently i've been using this mango scented one by the body shop. it smells so fresh and clean and doesn't dry my skin out.

my keys. i need a new keyring - mine are so old and battered! my little pink deer was a present from my mum when i was like 15!? and my cath kidston one was a gift from a friend a few years back.

this is just a little charity pot from Lush. i picked it up at the tills not long ago when buying a bath bomb and i may have to buy the full size pot when i run out of this one! it smells super nice and has been doing wonders for my skin whenever i use it.

 

my travel card. this obviously has to go everywhere with me - i keep my travel card in this cute cath kidston holder. it's red with cream spots but is completely battered after using it for so long! i may have to buy another one in a different print. :)

my kobo glo. currently reading Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn. 

finally i carry my diary with me. i use this mainly to note down my work shifts and any plans or appointments i have. this was a chistmas gift from a friend - i'm not too sure where it's from but i really like it!
