Okay, so, I've never really kept anything in my bag apart from my dinner, a hairbrush and my purse. So when my auntie turned up one afternoon with a sandwich bag full of handbag essentials, I was suuuper happy. She's that woman that carries everything but the kitchen sink around with her.


1. UMBRELLA
I live in the UK. If it's not windy, its raining. Usually both though.


2. WET WIPES
You know when you spontaneously decide to go and get ice cream. Or your can of pepsi explodes all over you? That's when the wet wipes come in.

3. TISSUES
Snotty children. Snotty adults. Just, snot situations okay. We've all been there.

4. PAIN KILLERS
For when you literally cannot deal with humans for any longer without some form of medication.


5. A NOTEPAD
I feel like I'll never use this but I carry it around anyway. Maybe like, if you've got a massive order at a restaurant? idk.

6. TAMPONS
I don't even have periods but I swear to god if I didn't carry them around, I'd somehow need one. Also, you never know when a fellow gal might need an emergency tampon, and I can save the day.

7. PLASTERS
You never know when you're gonna slice your finger open. All I do is put letters in envelopes all day, so paper cuts are a daily risk. And I'm a baby.

8. PURSE
It never seems to have much money in it. I don't tend to carry cash and then I always regret it when we need change for parking, or I'm in a situation where I can't use my card.

9. SUNGLASSES
Ever since I got my prescription sunglasses I literally never take them out of my bag. Never know when the suns gonna appear and I get to strut around feeling like a Kardashian.

So there you have it. That's the general contents of my bag. If I'm going to work there's food too. Normally a bagel with herby Philadelphia spread *love heart eyes emoji*.

Let me know in the comments whats in your bag! And if my bag has inspired you to add anything new to your bag!

I always seem to find the motivation to post when it's time to go to sleep. But hey ho, I figured I might as well post when I feel the urge, otherwise it'll never happen. And I want to post because I do actually want to not because I feel I have to. So here I am.

ft. some random pics from recently because I've been trying to think of photos for this post for so long and zero ideas have come to me.

We all have those little tasks in life that completely freak us out, and no matter how many times you do it, it never seems to get any better. I feel like everyone has social anxiety to some extent, and there will always be something we're scared to do. Some people are just better at ignoring that horrible feeling it gives and just getting on with it.

1. Answering the phone to unknown numbers

2. Answering the door to strangers

3. Asking for help in a shop

4. Booking appointments over the phone

5. The thought that I might possibly bump into someone awkward and it being... awkward

6. Speaking in front of people

7. Walking down the street alone and feeling like everyone wants to kidnap/rape/murder me (maybe I do watch too much Dexter...)

8. Ordering food over the phone and in restaurants

9. Trying to get the waitress/waiters attention omg this is one of the worst ones

10. Going somewhere unfamiliar and figuring out a way to get there, Google Mapping on street view to make sure its definitely the right place

11. Interviews

12. First days - new job, college, school, everything

13. The fear of tripping, or falling over completely in public



14. Being brave enough to wear that thing, until you're actually out of the house

15. Hoovering when there's no one home

16. Using the hairdryer when there's no one home

17. Having a shower/bath when there's no one home

18. Sleeping when there's no one home

(Can you tell I don't like it when there's no one home?)

19. Going to the toilet or to get a drink in the night, especially after watching a scary film

Let me know in the comments if you can relate to any of these or if its just me being daft!

Just before New Year, I had a chunk of skin carved out of my arm, and had it sent off to get tested. The chunk of skin had a mole, and the doctor decided it would be best to just cut it out and send it away, y'know what they say, better to be safe than sorry!

So I thought I would write this post incase anyone is having one out and doesn't know what to expect. (I'd never had any 'minor operations' like this before, so had no idea what it would be like, healing process etc.)

So basically, the numbing injection is the worst part, because it stings like a bitch, and after that you don't feel a thing. Until the injection wears off, and then it stings constantly for like 3 days.

The day after I had it done, I went back to get the dressing changed and had a smaller plaster put on. Which, it also turns out I'm allergic to plasters, lol.

If I'm going to be completely honest, I wasn't going to write a New Years post, but after seeing so many other inspiring and motivational posts, I couldn't help myself.
