What's in my school bag!

Finally a back to school post, I have a few more that I will be uploading I know I'm a bit late as people have already started school but better late then never!! This year me and Abbie go into sixth form so that means we have to buy all sorts of stuff like folders, notepads, plastic wallets and dividers ect! In my opinion it's better to be more prepared with more stuff so I have kinda go over the top with school stuff this year! 

First let's just start off with my school bag in general! At the start of the 6 weeks and the sixth form induction day I used a beautiful bag from H&M but unfortunately it wasn't big enough and hardly fitted any folders in so I changed to a bag that I brought ages ago and didn't get chance to use it and that my River Island Black Sauede Shoulder bag! I don't think they have it in stores any more and I can't remember the price of it but it's a lovely bag and has lots of room so if I have 2 folders I need to carry one can go in my bag and the other can be held. Whats also great about it is that inside it has a very small pouch which is perfect for phone and money because it blends in with the bag as well so I will be putting my phone in it so that I know where it is because this year we will not be wearing school blazers so we won't be able to put our phones in the pockets! So I will just be putting my phone and some money in this pocket so that I know that it's safe! I also just attached my Guardian Angle which my mom brought for me and mentally I think it brings me luck so I wanted it as close as possible to me!

Next on to stationary and I must say this year I have been getting my pens ect from cheap shops like home bargains because they sell named pens for cheaper prices and I also got cheaper highlighters as I needed more due to me taking english lit. Anyway folders, I needed 4 folders because I have chosen 4 subjects and those are English Lit, Business Studies, Media and Geography so obviously I needed big folders! So I have one which is from Wilkos and it has a cute Paris theme to it so it was a must, then the last 3 are from WHSmiths and these were 3 from something which I can't remember so I got a Pink A4 Folder and 2 purple ones but I didn't want 2 purple ones so I improvised and my mom went out and brought a Vinyl Decorative Paper which is a roll of sticky paper and the one I got was with love hearts and you just peel and cover books, folders, pens, pencils anything really and I just thought it was really cute and different and that was just from homebargins. Then I have 2 notepads as it's better to be safe then sorry and not buy any and the first one which is purple with a pattern on is from Pound Land and then the second one which has also 4 dividers in it is from Aldi and I liked this one because it had the dividers already in but I still went out and brought 4 packets of folder dividers and those are pastel colours from Home Bargains.

Then lastly for stationary I have my pencil case and every year my pencil case gets smaller and smaller and again 2 year running I went to paperchase for mine and I got this silvery glitter rounded pencil case which is simple but still cute! It actually holds a lot as I have different coloured pens for different things and more black ink pens because last year I ran out! I have all my pens which you can get from Rymans or Poundland like I did, then my highlighters which are also from poundland, then my Paper Mate Ink Joy which you can get from anywhere and I have used a lot of last year stuff as I didn't need new stationary again.

Then lastly I have my 'Survival Kit' as I like to call it which just holds my extra bits that I take to school. I just put them in a makeup bag which I found lying around my room when I cleaned it out because if it's there I might as well just use it, anyway in it i carry some tissues because they are vital things in my opinion then I have a pad because obviously being a girl means mother nature likes to surprise you then I have plasters, earphones which are a must have, crayons as they didn't fit in my pencil case along with my sharpener and then my keys and lastly paracetamol.

And that's it thats what will be in my bag for the first year of sixth form and the only thing I'm looking forward to about school is that I never have to do PE again! No I'm actually happy that I have chosen what I want to do and hopefully will enjoy them a lot more! There is a few more blog posts related to school which are going to be uploaded soon so hang fire for them! 

If you have started school yet?! leave a comment on what you're essentials are in your bag for school?

Benefit Brow Saver

Hello, Its me Alicia finally I haven't fell of the face of the earth I have just been focused on all my work and have been given a lot of work to complete before we finish the for easter due to us leaving school early do complete our exams..... SCARY! Abbie has been keeping up on the blog posts unlike me but we are both trying our hardest to try and upload when we can! 

Recently i have changed my eyebrow routine and this is all down to the Benefit Gimme Brow this was actually the wrong product and I was looking for the Speed Brow but brought this one instead and I'm so happy I did! I love it If I'm having a lazy day this just fills my eyebrows in and I don't have to use my powder to fill them in! It also keeps them in place so I don't have to use the speed brow to keep my eyebrows in place and I don't have to go and buy another one which means more money for me to spend yay!

The applicator brush on this is so small and cute and it's really easy to use as I can just sweep it over my eyebrows and it manages to fill them in and get them all in the right place again the tube is only small just like the Speed Brow but its magical how much they can actually fit in to them! It comes in two shades which is Light/Medium and Medium/Dark the one that suits me is the Medium/Dark.



Overall I think it's a great product and I really recommend it and its perfect for when it's one of those days where you can't be bothered to fill in your eyebrows and do the whole eyebrow routine and even if you have trouble filling your eyebrows in as the brush is foolproof. However it is very expensive as its £17.50 for a 3g tube but it lasts along time in my point of view!

I hope you liked this post It's only quick and I'm really busy at the moment and haven't really got much time to upload a lot of posts but me and Abbie will be back on when we have finished our exams which is for both of us the 13th June I think but we will try to upload more in the mean time and hope that these little fillers will satisfy you and we will upload a lot more soon! 


Thank youuuu

I was very lucky again this Christmas and got everything I asked for and more. One of my main presents was my new 'big girl camera' as Sprinkle of Glitter would call it! I was so happy to see this and my pictures should be a better quality as soon as i work out how to use it properly...

I did take pictures of my Christmas Day outfit but I was still getting used to this new camera and must of accidentally deleted them... oops! 

2013

I decided to do a year jar last year. A year jar is basically just a jar where you can keep little notes of what you do through the year and you can look back at the memories at the end of the year. Iv got my 2014 year jar quickly filling and I would highly recommend this to everyone! Its great to keep the notes after as well and you can look back at any time. I'm going to share some of the things in my jar with you now.

2014 Plans

2014 is going to be a bid year for me and Alicia as we are in year 11 so its the year of exams and stress! So in 2014 I hope most of all to do well and get my target grade in all subjects exams, and choose the right sixth form for September. I also want to get to the right level with my dancing to be able to consider it as a possible career option. I have already started this one by starting a new dance school which I have loved! We also hope to get a more regular upload schedule for this blog as we have been slacking a bit lately, but I'v got a better camera and a Kirstie Allsopp notebook (because she seems like an organised person right?) so LETS DO THIS! Some things I have planned are, on the 25th-26th January I'm going to London and to see Billy Elliot which I cant wait for and on the 28th January I'm going to be 16!(10 DAYS WOOP!) I am also going to see 5 Seconds of Summer again on 2nd March, am dancing in my schools production of Oliver 3rd-7th March and I'm going to see One Direction on 31st May at Manchester Etihad Stadium! 

I'm now going to start planning my next blog post in my new note book so you don't have to wait ages for it, and finish watching High School Musical 2... Don't you just love Disney Channel? And 2 hours of Zac Efron? YES PLEASE!
