What's in my handbag - take a peak :)

* I will add a picture of my handbag later! Its the matching one to my purse, my camera is dead at the moment so once its charged ill upload a picture!

90% of women have handbags - I am probably top of that list and have more handbags then I need. (Defiantly addicted) so what better post to do then a 'what's in my hangbag' please say I'm not the only one that always loses my keys?

Purse - an obvious necessity, money, cards, receipts. Such a handy contraption to keep all my money safe together. Who ever thought of them is a genius! 

Umbrella - because I am constantly the girl that gets caught in the rain without an umbrella, and always ends up looking like a drowned cat at the end. Or if you don't have one, hide in a shop - it's always my back up plan! 

Nivea face cream- I have the worlds worst skin, so therefore my handy little tin helps keep my skin hydrated if I ever have a dry patch. 

Lip balm, Lipstick- in every bag I have one of each of these things because I always lose them in the process of swapping bags (i swap almost everyday!!)
A lip balm to sooth and smooth my lips, and a lipstick for a pop of colour. Lipstick pulls any outfit together. 

Nail varnish, Hand cream- now, nail varnish might seem a bit odd I know, but there's nothing worse then going out and realizing my nails are bare so it's handy to carry one around. Hand cream as before said, keeps my hands hydrated as they tend to crack :( 

iPod, Notebook, Pen - Music helps me relax, when I'm panicked or nervous it grounds me. But it also helps me to to focus which a notebook an pen come in handy. Whether I'm making lists or class plans it's great to hot things down and physically put pen to paper rather then 24hour technology. 







Do you have any odd things in your bag? Let me know what you carry in your handbag.

Sacha Purse Review

Hi my lovelies, so at last the beautiful sun has decided to appear and it seems as if we are finally getting some summer weather this week - so while the suns been out I have been making the most of it, thus meaning a lack of posts, sorry! 

Today I'm back and wanting to tell you all about my beautiful new Sacha purse! I had never heard of this brand before until I walked into Debenhams and saw they had created a display show casing the new arrivals.

Anxiety, Panic attacks, but still smiling!

I'm really sorry I haven't been around the past few days my little lovelies, it's safe to say I have not been myself. 

I'm going to jump straight into things as I don't want to talk for to long.... I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks amongst other thing that I won't talk about just yet and because of that I've needed some ME time. This has included lots of online shopping, Big Bang theory and work. 

Anxiety is a horrible thing, that won't disappear in a click. It's a feeling that lingers and can be very controlling as to what you do. My attacks quickly change into a panic attacks which leaves me feeling so drained I have passed out befor. But I'm so lucky in the sense that my support network is strong and medication helps me to control a majority of my attacks. But others aren't so lucky and I think that those who do suffer from anxiety should know that they are not alone and the as much as I can't change the feelings I can only hope that you find comfort and a way to suppress it. 

I thought i would include a couple of suggestions to reduce the attack or if you feel one coming on. These are just a couple of things I do and I understand everyone's different in how they cope, find something that works for you...

*Listen to music, focus on singing the words aloud
*Keep busy and do something that keeps your hands busy - painting nails, makeup or hair 
*Find a breathing exercise - I find that tapping my chest in a beat of two just like a heart beat, will help control me from hyperventilating
*Call a friend, ask for a quick chat
*Carry with you something that brings back good memories - when you feel an attack coming on hold it and think about that  memory 

Lots of love for you all! xoxox

"Everywhere we go, People always ask us"

Todays post is the opposite to my normal type. For the past two days I've been camping with my students and I have had such a jolly time with them all! It was a brilliant farewell for the year 11's and a nice new experience for the year 7's. I wish I could post pictures up but for obvious reasons I cant. I will however tell you that we played games, had a late night camp fire and sang songs till the fire died down. Im not ashamed to say that I got caught in horrendous rain on the zip wire, slipped over playing football and missed on a regular basis playing swing ball. I laughed so much and saw the joy on the kids faces - and thats what its all about - seeing them smile and feel normal. Because a Deaf child is just as normal as any other. Remember that if you ever meet one...


A little snap from our last day - the beautiful beach huts. 
Have you ever met anyone deaf?

Make up and Fashion Tag


Hi lovelies, so here we have yet again another chatty post - SORRY! But its a bit different and i had alot of fun thinking about what i could live with and what i couldnt. See if you agree with any of mine...
 
Makeup:

Blush or Bronzer? Bronzer - I have naturaky rosey cheeks so a bronzer makes my skin look glowing and defined.
Lipgloss or Lipstick? Lipstick - i really dislike sticky lips! A lipstick adds a pop of colour to any outfit and you can mix colours up.
  Eyeliner or Mascara? - This one is so hard because i love a winged eye but i might have to sway towards mascara, simply because it opens my eyes up.
Foundation or Concealer? - Can i cheat and say a 2 in 1? If it was a want or a need i would say concealer to help my eyes look brighter. Im sure my skin would love being fresh faced everyday!
Neutral or Color eye shadow? - Neutral, I very rarely wear any eyeshadow and if i do its suttle. I would much rather have a bright lip colour then eye.
Pressed or Loose eye shadows? - 
I really dislike excesive loose eyeshadow falling onto my cheeks or face
Brushes or Sponges
? - Brushes win hands down! Sponges cant be washed and cleaned, and dont last as long as a good brush does. I have a brush for everything

Fashion:

Jeans or Leggings? -  Leggings, I find it really hard to find jeans that flatter me. My curvy shape means leggings look more flattering on me and i can dress them up or down
Dresses or Skirts? -
Dresses always! I love how feminine a dress makes me feel. I feel more attractive in a dress
Stripes or Spots? -
This is such a hard one as i love both prints. Stripes because they make your body looking slimmer but spots because they are girly and cute. If i had to choose the =n stripes. Id rather looking slimmer and sophisticated.
Flip flops or Sandals? -
Sandals. I would much rather have a show that fits me nicely and holds my foot in place. I find i never work great in flip flops.
Scarf or Hat? -
Scarf. A scarf can add a simple touch to your outfit, transforming it from casual to something more. Studs or Dangly earrings? - I am the biggest sucker for dangly earings. Im not ashamed to say they have their own storage and when ever i am in town i always have a browse for more. I change my earings to colour co-ordinate with my outfit.
Necklace or Bracelet? -
Necklace. Im not keen on much on my wrists apart from my watch. A neckalce can be all the jewelery you need if its a statement piece. Heels or Flats? Heels for nights and flats for day. Thats my motto.
Coat or Hoodie?
Coat for out, Hoodie for in doors. I love cuddling up in a huge hoodie.
Newlook or HnM? -
HnM. You can grab such bargains in HnM and some real hidden gems if you just look around. They bring new pieces in so reguarly that i am picking things up weekly.




So guys, did you agree with any of them?
If so let me know in a comment as i would love to know what you could live with or without.
