Diary & Notebook - I always carry around with me my Paperchase 2014 diary which I use constantly throughout the day, especially at work! I'm forever writing things down and making notes about things I need to do etc, so this is perfect for my handbag! I also carry always have with me this bright orange notebook, which I have made my 'blogging ideas' book! I always find that the best ideas come to me when I'm out and about so this is perfect for writing everything down! I keep blogging ideas at the front and then 'products to try' at the back!
Bottle of water - I am terrible at keeping myself hydrated, especially on the go, so I've started carrying around a water bottle everywhere I go! It helps stop those constant coffee cravings I get too!
Dove Go Fresh roll on deoderant - THIS. IS. A. MUST. I feel so self conscious if I don't have this with me at all times, especially when I'm work and running around for 9 hours straight! The scent is lovely and fruity, and I find roll ons last so much longer than a spray version
The Body Shop Coconut body mist - This is one of my all-time favourite scents EVER. At my last job, all of the girls knew instantly when I was around as it smelled so good! It's a great pick me up when you're having a long day and you want to freshen yourself up and the smell is TO DIE FOR!
Soap & Glory Hand Food - I got this mini version of the hand cream for christmas in a S&G gift set and I love it as I get quite dry hands from work! A handbag must!
An umbrella of some sort - Right now I'm using this Superdrug spotty brolly, which I bought on whim when it was absolutely throwing it down outside!
The Body Shop Born Lippy lip balm - Now it's getting into chapped lip season, this is an essential! I have these in strawberry and raspberry and they smell amazing!
Memory stick and hair bits and bobs - I'm forever changing my hairstyle throughout the day due to my mood so always make sure I have clips and things to do that! Also a memory stick cos you never know when you might need one!
Lipstick of some sort - Right now the one I'm carrying around is MAC 'Hang-Up' which is the perfect plummy autumnal shade
The Body Shop hairbrush - I'm not sponsored by The Body Shop, promise! This was a gift from my best friend and it makes my hair feel so soft and sleek so I take it everywhere!
Apple iPod - When I actually remember to charge this little badboy, it always comes in handy as I walk EVERYWHERE!
And finally...
Keys and purse - Of course something no girl should leave the house without! I was forever misplacing my keys so I bought this adorable floral lanyard from Cath Kidston to attach mine on to! My purse is Primark and it is perfect for all my pennies and various cards!
