#SeptemberStudies- School bag essentials!

By -


In order for your school day to run smoothly, you need to make sure you have everything in your bag necessary for the day ahead! Here's a checklist of essentials that should be in your bag at all times!

Diary. I don't care if you're a guy and think diaries are totally feminine things, diaries are the only way you're going to stay organised and you absolutely have to have one, even if it's only to write down the homework you have to do and when the next football match is.



Water bottle. It's so, so important to stay hydrated. If you don't drink enough water, your brain won't function properly, which will cause you to begin to slack in lessons! Have a water bottle in your bag that you can fill up throughout the day if needs be.



Tissues. Honestly, you never know when you're going to need a tissue. If you get a sudden nose bleed, need to clear up food you've spilled down yourself, something to spit your chewing gum into...tissues are a necessity, keep a pack or two in your bag at all time.


Chewing gum. No one wants to smell the cheese and onion crisps you ate for lunch in the last period of the day. Make sure you've got some chewing gum on you to freshen up your breath- especially if you have a hot date after school, too!



Body spray/deodorant. If you have P.E you should always have body spray or deodorant on you. However, it should always be in your bag anyway- you never know when you might need to do a sudden dash for the school bus or if you'll be left in a classroom so hot you end up working up a sweat!



Loose change. You never know what you might need to pay for. A charity donation at school, a snack from the canteen if you get a little peckish at break. Maybe even an emergency bus fair home? Always keep some change in your bag for emergencies.



Phone charger. No one wants their phone to die whilst their at school. No one.



Headphones. You need headphones for the journey to and from school. Also, sometimes teachers are nice enough to let you listen to music in lessons. If you didn't have your headphones for that, you'd be out of luck!



What essentials do you always make sure are in your school bag? Let me know in the comments below!

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
