My Handbag Essentials

As I've just posted another 'what's in my bag video', I thought I'd also share what I deem my essentials in my daily handbag (This may seem excessive but I'm always the 'what if' gal).

Not necessarily both, but a diary/ notebook and a pen. 

A compact mirror, hand sanitizer, deodorant (extras - hand cream and make up refreshing spray)

Compact powder, retractable face brush, a lip product or two and a perfume sample/ travello.

Pain killers, tictacs, hair clips and tangle teezer.

Some little extras..

A separate coin purse (making my normal purse stretch less)

A little pouch for my headphones so they don't get all tangled or caught on anything.

Tissues, my bus key card/ ticket holder and my portable phone charger.

Long weekend in Leeds..

Hi guys, I'm back with another travel related post for you today.. Last weekend I headed up to Leeds for a long weekend.. (who'd of thought, given the title eh?!). I'm not going to lie, I didn't wanna come home! 

It was a weekend full of excitement, emotion and relaxation.. (and some spendies, stay tuned for my haul).

Initially I just went up to see Ed Sheeran, but I thought I'd stay a little longer than that one night so I could catch up with a few people I know up there (this is all the mention your getting Adam!) and just relax. I treated it as a little holiday to myself, and thankfully the weather held up for me until Monday.. which for Yorkshire is pretty good going eh ;)

I'm just gonna show you a few photo's I took while I was up there and reminisce about my trip that I'm sure I won't be doing again for a while (*sad face*).

Don't forget to head over to my YouTube to see my packing video's and my first attempt at a vlog while I was up there.

Can we also take a moment to look at how beautiful Brighton sunset pt 2 turned out..

I cannot wait to plan another trip up to Leeds, it's slowly become one of my favourite cities. (Not gonna lie, miss those douche's up there!)

Recent Travels P2..

Like I said in my previous travel post, I've hit up a few places over the UK over the last few weekends and in today's post I'm going to share with you my trip to Brighton + Chichester..

I still can't believe in 20 years, I'd never been outside of Brighton train station!

The weather may not have been great when we arrived, but it sure cheered up pretty damn quickly and got very very busy (as I'm sure Brighton always is of a weekend). Alas, it was another great weekend - sun, sea, bright lights of a big city and just gorgeous scenery.

En route back the following day from Brighton, we decided to stop off in Chichester for a little picnic in the park as it was such another lovely day (I've been to Chi before, but my friend hadn't can you believe!)

I didn't take many photos in Chi, as I was too busy relaxing... but thought I'd show you just how beautiful the day and scenery was (and the autumn leaves!! How exciting.)

Recent travels..

A bit of a different post from me, but the last few weekends I've been on a few road trips with a friend of mine to hit up some places in the UK I haven't yet been to in my 20 years here, and for once.. I remembered to bring my camera :)

I give you a snapshot into my trip to Wales! (Cardiff + Swansea to be precise) ..

If you ever go down to Swansea and your driving, head down to Mumbles! There I took one of my favourite photos that I just had to put on here twice! 

It's such a beautiful .. well.. country. I've always wanted to go to Wales, just to kind of say I've been really haha. But it was a lovely weekend and I'd go again in a heartbeat (need to explore The Mumbles more!)
