Hoi, it's time to honour the tradition to do a what's in my bag video every year.
And every year I also have a new bag.
This year I have gone a little bit bigger and more robust.
It is my beautiful Herschel mid-size, I think 16.5 litre, back pack.
I've had to do a lot more carrying around of my laptop.
And this has a perfect 13 inch laptop pouch, which I'll show you in a bit.
This is a very recent purchase but is such a beautiful colour and I look forward to carrying this around with me everywhere I go.
I love peeking into other people's bags so today I am going to show you what usually I carry around with me on a daily basis.
I am going to start with the front pouch, which has these two clips and the zipper.
Ever since moving to London, I have just realised that I need to get bags that people can't easily steal stuff from
while you're on the tube, crammed against other people.
I'm gonna put this bag down.
First of all my favourite gum, which is the Marks and Spencer's lemon and mint gum.
I know it sounds weird but it's delicious.
Then I have this little travel wallet, that I showed in my favourite space things.
It is from Paperchase and it carries my Oyster card and basically every card I need.
I could just take this and my keys and I'd be fine.
Then I have this sort of alternative iPhone cord which is from Skinny Dip, that's it.
It's from Skinny Dip and it was discounted.
It's not any better than a normal iPhone cord obviously but it matches my shirt.
Then I have got my phone in here, which still has Sci Design space case.
I trust the universe.
There's usually some sort of lip product in there. This is the Tart Elite lip tint.
Not cruelty free unfortunately. But at this point I am just using up a lot of the products that I have.
And then finally in the front pouch, I have some HEMA mints.
HEMA is my favourite Dutch shop and I really adore these mints. And I can buy it in Victoria Station in London now too.
So it has this pouch in here for the laptop. It's completely padded. And the laptop pouch also doesn't reach the bottom of the bag.
So when you sort of drop your bag down your laptop's fine.
And in case you don't know Herschel they are sort of known for having this pattern inside.
Alright, so I always carry a book with me. This is the book I am reading at the moment.
It is Zadie Smith's On Beauty
I always prefer paperbacks because I don't get as upset about, so if the corners bending for these and they are just lighter.
I will always choose a paperback over a hardback.
Then London recently switched over to charging for plastic bags so everyone has gone a little bit tote bag crazy.
And I have this wonderful tote bag from Shakespeare and Company in Paris,
which is wearing a little bit thin but I still love it so I just bring it with me.
Because I always end up doing grocery shopping or just shopping in like other shops.
And then I won't have a bag and have to pay for it.
Here's my other travel pouch, it's also space themed, it's from Cath Kidston.
And it has spare Oyster Card just in case I need it. This also holds my loyalty cards.
I actually down-sized on my loyalty cards because I was carrying around way too many.
So now I just have my Boots card, which is such a good saving programme, my Tesco club card, my Waitrose card and my Nectar card for Sainsburys.
Have I integrated enough? Can I get an English passport yet?
I always carry around this little pouch, which will have like bandaids and painkillers and other essentials.
I have more Cath Kidston things. This is my adorable, little tourist umbrella. It's so tiny but very, very sturdy
and it fits into any handbag, I really, really like this.
Then some of you might not know, but I always wear contacts. So I bring my glasses with me,
they are so dirty, which look like this.
Got some general hand sanitiser. My favourite headphones. I always go for the same ones.
They're the Sennheiser, like around twenty quid ones. So good. And they have a two year warranty.
And every time they've died before two years and I can just claim a new free one.
Got some Compeed blister plasters, cause I am trying to break in some new boots.
This HEMA deodorant. Every time I have left the house without deodorant has been a huge mistake.
Then a water bottle. Again, I never want to be in a situation where I need to buy a bottle of water.
So I just keep this on me, even if it's empty cause then when I am at work and I'm about to go the cinema, etcetera.
I can just fill up this bottle. This is so great. It is from the brand Aladdin.
It took me like a couple of weeks to track down exactly this one.
I used to have the bigger one, I loved it so much but I wanted the smaller version.
And I bought it of someone in Romania on Ebay.
Then, finally, we have my favourite new make-up bag, which is also from Marks and Spencer's.
It says, "Blackhole - a place where people or things, especially money, disappear without a trace".
This is basically just like a secondary make-up collection. So I don't constantly have to switch them out
from my bag. I will show you some highlights.
Soap and Glory, One Heck of a Blot powder. Really good.
Le Masque concealer, with a little mirror. This HEMA lipstick in a nice dark red.
It is number six of the longer lasting lipstick, if you are interested in one of these.
Some Catrice eyeshows. The single ones are really good for travelling.
And finally my trusty Catrice eyebrow set, which I adore. By the way if you are interested in cruelty free make-up
I have a whole channel where I talk about that with my friend Marion and it is called derpinaMODE.
I will link that in the description.
Those are some of the things I carry around with me on a daily basis.
When I go to work or when I go out for a day.
I hope you enjoyed having a sneak peak into my backpack and I will talk to you guys later. Doei.
