Bags! I absolutely adore my bag - I take it wherever I go. In this post I'm going to let you in on some of my bag essentials - hopefully giving you some tips in the process!

Phone

Obviously, the first item on my list has to be my phone; not only do I use it to keep up to date with social media when I'm out and about - but I think it's really important to carry a phone around, so I can contact family/friends if I get into any trouble.

Refreshments

I always have a bottle of water and a healthy snack in my bag - especially when shopping. Browsing through clothing is no fun if you're dehydrated and hungry!

Oil Blotting Sheets

I like to keep some oil blotting sheets with me whenever I go out. I love oil blotting sheets because, as a teenager, my face tends to get a little oily after a while - especially if it's warm out. So, instead of covering this with powder - which will only cause breakouts, trust me - I use oil blotting sheets.

Gum

I'm probably a little obsessed with dental hygiene and fresh breath - ever since I got my braces removed I appreciate every little tooth I have. So, I carry sugar-free gum with me; chewing it stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth, which helps clear away food, strengthen your teeth, and reduce the levels of acid that cause tooth decay - what's more, it leaves your breath fresh and minty!
