Hello everybody! You may notice
I have a little Christmas tree
Yeah, I figured it's getting to that time of the year
other people have done it
so I've started decorating for Christmas *giggles*
What can I say?
I just love it too much.
This is actually in my upstairs
kind of, office area
and this is my rainbow tree
which I'm really happy about
its got multicoloured lights, and it has these like coloured pom pom's,
and then these tiny little, brightly coloured baubles
and I think it's one of my favourite Christmas trees I've ever had
just because it makes me smile every time I look at it.
Moving on from Christmas trees,
I'm doing a video today that I haven't done in a while but it is something that you guys love to see
and it's something that I quite like to keep updating,
not that it ever really changes that much...
And it is a 'What's In My Bag?'
As you can see,
This is my Zoella Lifestyle bag or rucksack
I'm obsessed with it, I basically created a bag that was my perfect bag.
And hence, why I've been using it and loving it.
because I've essentially designed it exactly how I wanted it
For any of you that are interested in this bag, you can get it from Boots
And it also comes with a travel mug and a little keyring inside it as well
But I don't have those things in here
It's not real leather; It's faux leather.
And, it's just really like...
...squishy
And that's exactly what I wanted it to be like, so
I'm very happy about that
A lot of people are like: "It doesn't have a popper!"
And actually that was the decision that i made; like that was like a conscious choice-
-Because I just think the popper made it look...
...I don't know...
Less cool?
And I quite like that the way that you shut it is with the drawstring
And it is...it is really sturdy as well
So yeah! That is the actual bag
A bit of self-promo there
It's just gotta be done isn't it.
Undo the little drawstring
Open it up
Now, because this literally can fit everything, I do like to call this my Mary Poppins bag
Because it is essentially a bucket bag
It does mean I've accumulated a lot of things I probably don't need in here
...But I have in here
And I'm going to share them with you.
Okay! So, the first thing I'm going to pull out is my purse.
This is actually a Mulberry purse. Alfie bought this for me as a present-
-Last Christmas? The Christmas before? I don't remember...Maybe it was for my birthday...
...Alfie bought me this-
And I have a grand total of £25 cash.
Look! One of the new £5 notes!
This is my first new £5 note! (I should) Treat myself with something with that!
I very rarely have cash. I'm one of these people that just never has any
So I just have my bank cards, my boots card
What's that?
Oh a River Island card, my drivers license
Oh a loyalty card, Ohh my old rail card
I can't use this anymore
It ran out in July this year
Gone are the days, I can use a 16 to 25 rail card
Now I know I was 25 quite a while ago but, if you get these at the right time, they sorta last until you're 26
I have one receipt
for the place where I get my brows done
for £40, so that must have been for me and Pops
got a quarter dollar in here
Don't know why, maybe I thought it was a 10p
Next, I have some sunglasses
these are, um, Gentle Monster
I bought these in Edinburgh recently
in Harvey Nicks
However, I don't believe these are actually the Gentle Monster sunglasses in here
No, they're Raybans!
Although it's been getting, a little bit more cold and dreary
the sun is still out, which makes me very happy because that's my favourite type of winter
and autumn weather, when it's cold, brisk and sunny
I think one of my least favourite things about sunglasses cases are when they're really big and bulky
and yes, they protect your sunglasses, and they're hard, you know the big kinda hard ones
but, they take up so much room in your handbag
so, I really like using this one
which is why I think I probably got my Raybans in there
no idea where these actual sunglasses are though
which is slightly worrying
I have my phone, this is the iPhone 7 plus
Oh, I've got a new WhatsApp from Poppy Deyes...
I feel like this is just the normal gold, not the rose gold
I was a little bit disappointed with the shade of the rose gold
I think this feels more rose goldy, personally and I think that's the normal gold
but yeah, that's my phone
Oh, I need to change my background, it says Happy Halloween
been and gone, I need my christmas background on there now
I have this, this is my christmas pen, that I bought from Tiger
when I write with it, it drives everyone around me crazy because all you can hear is this
*jingles*
is this not, just the most festive pen you've ever seen
like you just, you can't be sad when you're writing with this
I just love it
chewing gum!
and if any of you are wondering, because I know it's right up there on the top of your list
of things you desperately want to know about me
I like the Wrigley's Extra white
that's my preferred chewing gum
however, it's not that strong, and it is one that you have to kind of throw away quite quickly
but, that's the one I like
and, I always buy these tubs, because the little one's just don't last two minutes
so that's, that's my chewies of choice
Oh, I've got my vlogging camera in here
This is the Canon G7X Mark II
this is what I use to vlog on
I don't think I've ever said that anywhere
and actually I do get asked that quite a lot
so apologies, for never answering that
for those of you that wondered
but yeah, I couldn't use another camera to vlog on that isn't a Canon anymore
I find the quality, a lot better
I do find the wear and tear is not so great on a Canon, like
They don't last as long as you would hope for the price
um, like this screen is coming loose, on the back here
um but, the quality is like the best so, Canon G7X Mark II
This little fluffy bit on the top, Alfie stuck on, stuck this on here
it's a micromuff, because when you're vlogging outside and it's windy,
which it is 99% of the time in Brighton
uh, you won't be able to hear anything, unless you have this on
It actually does work as well
So if you live in a windy city,
then you might need one of these, if you're planning on doing some little follow me around vlogs
but yeah, I love it, I really love it,
it goes everywhere with me
Headphones!
probably not the most like, handbag friendly headphones to be fair
but, these were the one's I had in there
these are,
Bowers and Wilkins
I've had these for a really long time
I have some frends one's, which are cream and rose gold and they look, beautiful!
Like, I love them if I'm using them for a short amount of time
If I'm editing a video, and I have those on, it really hurts my ears
because it doesn't quite, it doesn't sit on them very comfortably
These one's are a lot more comfortable
Ew, there's so much like foundation on here
Yuck! I should probably clean that
Anyway
I mean, I'm not really a headphones expert, so I couldn't tell you more than that, sorry!
The next thing I have in here, which looks like a really cool little device
Is a HP Sprocket
Now this thing, I have been obsessed with, over the last month
Every time someone comes round, I get this out and I show them what it does
This is essentially, a printer
and this is all you need
that is why it's in my handbag
because i've basically became attached to it
it prints your photo's from your social media, and your camera roll
and all you have to do is turn it on
I'll show you, I'll give you a demo
get your phone
you download the app for free
and then you can scroll through your camera roll and you literally select any photo
which one shall we go for?
I'm gonna print this picture of me, Tan and Niomi
Okay, and then because the app is so cool, it gives you the option to edit the photo
So generally I like to put a frame on, um but you can also do text, you can put little stickers on
you can put filters on it
It's so cool!
Everybody I've shown this too has been like "Oh my God!"
This would honestly be, the perfect gift for Christmas
and I genuinely like to carry this with me, because I like to print off the photos
and either give them to whoever I'm with at them time or if I've taken a really lovely photo
I like to print it off and pin it up on my, I don't know if you've ever seen my little
board
that I have in my office
with all those photos on. I've started filling it
with pictures from my camera
roll that I've never been able to
print before. Once you've decide how you want your
picture tick
yes. Tick yes again
And by the power of Bluetooth
it comes out of this.
It's printing. The paper
is actually sticky so you can use it as stickers
or you could just use it to
pin up or whatever you want to do with it.
Um and it's called zinc so it's
zero ink. It's so clever
When I showed my mum she was like
"How do you put the ink in it?
Like where does the ink go?" and I was like you don't need ink.
It's just genius.
And you charge it with a USB.
Look!
I just think this
coolest little gadget I have ever
received. I love it. I
genuinely love this
I'm going to actually buy a couple
for some friends for Christmas
because its also a really lovely gift and
it is the sort of thing that I genuinely
use and I think a lot of people would genuinely
use because whoops
because sometimes I take pictures on my phone
and that's it they don't really
go anywhere. Um, so it's nice
to be able to print all the ones I really really like
Ok, what else have I got
in here. I have got my notebook.
This is a really cool
notebook actually
I've found this really useful
This is Mishmash
and it's like
I don't know how to explain this.
It doesn't have like an outer shell.
There's probably a better word
for it but. And it's in like sections
So you can divide up anything that you're doing
So, i'm currently planning all my December video's and blog~post's and content in this
And i've found it really useful having the different colours for the different sections
But I generally don't go anywhere without a notebook.
Oh! I can stick this on there!
I'm going to stick my picture on.
Aww! I love it!
Okay, what else do we have in here?
this!
this is quite random but, um, well is it? I don't really know. We went to the cinema recently
to see a film called 'A monster calls' which can I just say, i mean it's out next year, but it's probably up there with
one of the most heart~breaking touching films I have seen in a really long time.
If you go and see that film, it was also one of the books in my book club, if you go and see it, take tissues.
Out of everyone that was in that cinema, two people didn't cry.
Anyway, we wen't to the cinema and I went for a cheeky little pix~and~mix! I never get pick~and~mix at the cinema
I always think, Oh I have to get popcorn and a Fanta ice~blast, because they're amazing!
But, I never get pick~and~mix! So, this time I did and they're just in my handbag becasue i'm still like
Snacking on them. I went a bit over~board because i put like heavy things like this in. See, as a child
I knew never to put these in because they made it so much more expensive! Those are the things that are heavy aren't they.
Pick~and~mix life hacks.
I have a random, um, mini Colour~Pop, um, liquid lipstick in the bottom, I believe this is the shade 'Bianca'
which i basically lived through the summer but I don't know because its all rubbed off.
Then I have these two bags in here because, um, otherwise things get a bit lost in there. I can pop that down now.
These actually come, another little bit of self~promo, but, um, when you design and make your own products
generally, you love them a lot. So, I do actually use them. Shock~horror, I love my own products!
And use my own products!
These come in a set of three bags, um, and you can get these in Superdrug
This one is my favourite one because it's copper glitter! But it's not, like, it doesn't feel glittery, it's still very smooth
Um, and it's also a really good size. So in here I have, oh, I feel like this video is so like 'Zoella'.
I didn't mean this guys, like, I don't mean this guys, I just genuinely have all of this in my handbag
Zoella hand~cream! This is the gingerbread hand cream, been using it since July! Love it!
I have some Neurofen cold and flu relief
Because you never know when you're going to get struck with a cold or a flu
Oh! This is a liquid lipstick i've really been loving recently this is the Tarte Tartiest lip paint in the colour 'Bestie'.
I love this!
It's in a favourite's coming soon, so i'm not going to talk too much about it.
I also have my Clarins lip oil which is looking a little bit worse~for~wear. I should probably buy another one.
It's very sticky, actually looks like honey.
Let me just smell it though. Oh, love that smell!
*In a Wiltshire accent* What else we got in 'ere?
Oh, a Bath and Bodyworks Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte!
This is just... I thi - I h - um - bleh!
I actually think this is probably my favourite Bath and Bodyworks scent.
Everyone likes clean hands! I feel like i've said that in all my, um, what's in my handbag video's.
A glittery hair bobble, I always have to carry these around with me.
Do you know, I really like these hair~bands, what are they called? Scrunchies!
I like these because if I put my hair in a pony~tail like I have now with like a tight one, my hair kinks so badly!
And because i've got short hair, it kinks in all the wrong places, um, so generally I like to use a scrunchie because less kink~ige!
And I also have my mini 'Bake my day!' fragrance because i'm basically trying to make the most of the gingerbread scent
during the Christmas period. Although, I mean, I'm not against spraying this in January and February but
whilst i'm kind of getting in the mood for Christmas it does make sense, so been spritzing that.
*hums*
This one says 'Throw kindness around like confetti!' and it's in this, like, nice , like, oh, what's this material called?
canvas~y style!
I don't actually know what's in here. Oh, okay, we have some more Zink paper for the HP Sprocket
We have a Kylie matte liquid lipstick in the shade 'Brown sugar' which I have on today.
A sharpie!
I have a memory card reader because I have an 11" MacBook Air, which has nowhere to put memory cards.
So, I have to use this in order to transfer my footage, which actually is a little bit annoying because
if i'm out and about and I don't have one of these, I can't do anything from my card
Um, so, generally i'll have like one or maybe even sometimes three of these in my handbag.
It's better to be prepared! Then i've got a normal bobby, bobby pin - no! *giggles* What's this?
Hair...bobble.
And a spare battery, for vlogging.
I might put my sprocket back in there, actually. *Zip~zips* cause then it stays nice and clean.
Do you know, I think that is everything in my bag and for once there's no like dirty, crummy bits in the bottom of my handbag.
Which i'm really happy about because normally that does happen.
I really hope you enjoyed this video! I will leave a link below to anything that I can incase any of you guys
want to get any of the bits I mentioned! I hope you are having a lovely week so far!
There's not long now until '24 Days of Zoella' starts and i'm very, very excited! Make sure you are subscribed
or you've hit the little notification bell that's just down here somewhere.
Give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it! I love you very much and I will see you very, very soon! Bye!
