Drug Store HAUL - Wilko, Amazon, Boots

This will be my last haul of the month, as I'm putting myself on a spending ban. Luckily for me, I bought these items before March 1st, so I haven't broken my rule yet! However, we are only two days into March... I can see this being a long month of struggle.

This is just a small haul of bath things which I didn't need, but couldn't help myself. This is the reason I am going on a spending ban - I have 3 cupboards full of bath bombs, bubble baths, shower gels and moisturisers which I don't use. I want to have the chance to use some of these products up before buying anymore! That being said, here are a few more items which I just couldn't resist.

I love Lush bath-bombs, not just for the brand name, but because of the goodness the company do and the quality of the products. Yet, I have been loving Wilko's own, original bath bombs. They are just as good, loads cheaper and smell incredible! I got my bath-bombs in the flavours, 'Rhubarb & Vanilla', 'Coconut & Vanilla' and 'Strawberry & Pomegranate'. Wilko have a range of 9 different flavours which all smell amazing, and they are only 95p each! Definitely a good, cheaper alternative.

As well as these bath bombs, as part of the 'Fruits' range at Wilko, each bath bomb flavour has a corresponding bubble and body scrub in the same flavour. The bubble baths are 95p and are massive - they will definitely last you a very long time! I bought mine in the flavour "Coconut" for no other reason than I just love the smell. They smell amazing and are such good value!

Lastly from Wilko, I bought a Collection Eyeshadow in shade "05 Rosy Gold". All my make-up drawers consist of different shades of brown/gold eyeshadows as these are the colours I wear mostly on my eyes. I find them neutral but not so neutral that it doesn't look like you are wearing anything. This shade from Collection is super sparkly and light in colour which is the type of eyeshadow I love going for.

The last thing in my haul is my most favourite product of February. I found a sachet of the 'Miraculous Recovery Deep Conditioning" product by John Frieda and used it to get rid of it. However, my hair was left incredibly soft, silky and shiny. So I purchased a pot of it and the 'Extra Strength Six Effects Serum' to put on wet hair, after showering. After having used these for 1 week I am in love with this product. It is insane. My hair has never felt so healthy and shiny! This product is perfect for people with thick, dry and damaged hair.

Love, Hannah

What's in My Bag?

What's in My Bag?

My handbag is full of knickknacks from my everyday life, and the content of my bag definitely shows a lot about myself.  This blog post was a chance to throw away all the crumpled receipts, count my change and of course, filter through the content of my bag:

This is my current bag of choice for my everyday adventures! It was from Primark and I absolutely adore it. It's very sturdy, holding its shape well, whilst being large enough with enough pockets to hold all my everyday essentials!

I never leave the house without my daily planner, it holds my life together in one neat pink package! Its a week-to-week view style which I prefer, as I can see my weeks laid out simply. It is a re-fillable style also, making it easy to replenish the planner when it runs out.

I always keep a notebook and pen in my handbag for organisation. As I am a University student, its important for me to be able to do my work wherever I am and a pocket size notebook is perfect for jotting down ideas, and planning my next study steps on the go!

I bought these Study Skills booklets to aid my University degree. I love the fact they are pocket sized and can easily fit inside my handbag to ensure I can study on the go!

I always have a small deodorant in my handbag to freshen up during the day, if my perfume has dulled. Also, I adore the Fat Face body lotion to ensure a moisturised face and hands at all times whilst busy and out of the house. The same applies for the Nivea lip balm which I love due to the lack of taste, application and the goodness it does to nourish my lips on cold days!

Another thing I tend to keep with my in my handbag, is a small roll on perfume if my perfume has dulled throughout the day. I also always keep a 4 Head roll on stick on hand for headaches, as I like to avoid taking tablets whenever I can. Another thing I always take with me is plasters, as I have very sensitive feet when it comes to shoes!! Plasters are always advisable just in case!

Having a puppy, my jean pockets, coat pockets and of course, hand bag, becomes littered with poo bags! Luckily these are fragranced so smell nice enough to leave in my bag!

I don't leave the house without my Beats Ear Bud Headphones. They are fantastic! The sound quality is incredible and they really do dull out all outside static noise which is just what is needed when on public transport, or you need to block the world out! With my love for photography, I always keep a spare memory card with me also in case I use mine up which usually occurs. I never want to be caught short!

In this winter weather at the moment, when its absolutely freezing, I can't leave the house without my plain black, touch screen gloves. They are fabulous for keeping the cold out, and I don't need to take them off when sending a quick text or email!

Keys, keys, keys! I think these are a given.

Another essential but I adore my Kate Hill purse. This was bought for me on a birthday, and being my favourite colour I fell in love with it! Its the perfect fit for all my cards, receipts and coins, with many compartments, whilst being small enough to fit in my bag without taking up too much space.
