What's in my bag?

I have been looking at other blogs on the internet and came across the 'What's in my bag?' post on a couple of these sites (Paperlovestory and Imysworld) and thought what is actually in my bag? I seem to carry an obscene amount of things in my bag.

So here is what is in my bag:

 

Small Blue shoulder bag from Primark

I bought this bag last month as I wanted to downsize, and thought a smaller bag might help.

The view inside my bag

You can see in the above picture my filofax poking out (it takes pride of place in my bag)

Top Row: pocket tissues, vintage jack Filofax, Deodorant, hand sanitiser, purse, chewing gum, M&M's lip balm, nail kit. Bottom Row: Eeyore keyring (it broke off of my bag), Kindle, Pencil case, gaviscon, Plaster, Palmers dark chocolate and mint lip butter, ginger sparkle hand cream, and panadol

The above picture is just one half of what I carry, which is way too much.

Book light, Lime twist lip balm, Ipod, Keys, Inhaler (i always have a blocked nose), So daring perfume, Burt's Bees lip balm, Blistex lip balm, Umbrella, mints, soft mints, hairbrush, hair bobbles, bookmark, earphones.

The oddest item in my bag, and I think you will wonder about is the book light, I'm always reading so if I'm traveling in the car at night I have my book light so I can catch up with my reading (I am trying to read 100 books this year)

 Thanks for tuning in

Obsessions, Part 1: Lip Balm

As you can gather I love stationery, but another of my biggest vices (of which I have many) is lip balm. I have really dry lips and living in the North East of England the weather doesn't exactly help.

Lip Balm collection

 I've never really counted them, but I know I love to be able to have the choice of which one I want to use.

All in it's glory

 As you can see I have so many to choose from, but I love them all.

My top 5 at the moment are:

Cranberry Joy Lip Balm

Cranberry Joy Lip Balm - The Body Shop

I love this lip balm, it has such a nice smell and reminds me of Christmas still (it was part of their Christmas collection), it also doesn't make your lips go claggy.

Raspberry Lemonade Blast - Blistex

Raspberry Lemonade Blast - Blistex

This is a very good lip balm and smells fantastic, a good summery lip balm that helps to chase away the winter blues (and at the moment with the weather the spring blues).

Raspberry Rose Lip Butter - Nivea

Raspberry Rose Lip Butter - Nivea

Love the smell I could smell this all day, only problem is its a tin lip balm and if I'm on the go then it is a bit of a faff to put it on.

Lime Twist - Carmex

Lime Twist - Carmex

This is a really good summery lip balm, with the all to familiar carmex tingle.

M&M's Lip Smacker

M&M's Lip Smacker

What can I say it's chocolate, I got this from M&M's world on my last trip to London, and keep it in my coat pocket so if I need a lip balm quickly it's already there in my coat pocket.








There you a somewhat quick glance into my lip balms (which I think I need to have on rotation so they all get used)

Thanks for tuning in
