One of the very first blog posts I ever did was a What’s In Your Bag tag.
They’re one of my favourite posts to read and YouTube videos to watch.
(Mainly cos I’m just incredibly nosy.)
So in honour of the fact that my beloved backpack has finally started to fall apart at the seams, I thought I’d do a quick update on what I cart around with me on a daily basis.
Before it breaks completely and I have to replace it. Sob.
No artfully arranged stuff here!
This is literally just me upside-downing my bag and dumping it all on the floor (and by floor I mean a red blanket. Because BACKGROUNDS).
So what’s in my bag?
Disclaimer: this is GENUINELY everything that was in my bag. I haven’t taken out a thing. Not even the pants…

I officially carry to much rubbish around with me. Can’t decide if I’m proud or embarrassed by it!
But it’s fine, cos I can’t be the only one who has a Mary Poppins bag. You all carry this much stuff around with you as well, right?
RIGHT?!
