I still LOVE a classic 'What's in my bag?' and adored this peek into your everyday ☺️

My Kindle also goes everywhere with me. Particularly useful when I'm charging my car tbh! Also, get the Waterstones app and you can log in for your Plus card on there. Total lifesaver for me. This has totally inspired me to clean out my handbag and get a little more organised!

Ahh glad you liked it! I do think a “what’s in my bag?” is an age-old classic now. I love the Vogue ones!

Ooh yes I bet it’s a godsend for when you’re sat waiting for your car to charge! How do you find having an electric? I’ve got a petrol atm and I’m not looking to get a new car soon, but I know my next will be an electric/hybrid.

Michelle the worst bit is I HAVE the Waterstones app and forgot about this feature 😭 The shame of it all. Also don’t take this tote as a sign I’m organised, my work bag is an absolute shambles!

I love my lil EV! I got a Nissan Leaf three years ago, and it's been great. A good tip is to download a map of EV charging locations, so you can check it's compatible with your everyday lifestyle.

Oh noooo! Not the missed stamps 😭 I was SO excited to use mine post-buying ban!

My work bag is the only place that I'm thoroughly organised. Maybe I'll share a post in the future!

Ooh that's such a good tip, thank you! Little rural Shropshire is a resounding NO right now by the looks of ZapMap 🤣 There are a few nearby though and more and more seem to be cropping up by the day!

I know and it was my last Waterstone purchase because I'd bought gifts 😭 Can't wait to build them up when buying for other people then splurging!!

Ooh yes I'd love to read about your work bag! Mine is just carnage lol

Loved this, Soph!! What a fun piece. So satisfying to read 🙌🏻

(My favourite part however HAS to be: "If I am ever out of my home for more than “just popping to xyz” and I don’t have some sort of literature with me, check on my wellbeing.") 😂

Oh and HARD relate to the trusty (yet mega intense?!) 4head stick.

Ahh glad you enjoyed it Harriet! Honestly I *need* to have a book with me at all times, it's like a comfort blanket 😂

The 4head stick is amazing but simultaneously feels like it's burning through my skin???

A book is a wonderful comfort blanket!! Also, I couldn't agree more on the 4head stick - I used it the other morning and remember thinking to myself that it HURT but in a good way 😂

I loved reading this, I'm dealing with a horrible influenza for a week now and a light post like this lifts me up. Also inspired me for organizing my own bag. Quite a strong tote bag btw!! For carrying all that! Extra love

RIP to the loop earplugs I lost at the Taylor Swift concert I bought them for 💔

I feel like you learn a lot from peeking into somebody's bag and the 4head stick tells me all I need to know.

Omg no this is devastating 😭 They are NOT cheap!!

The 4head stick goes wherever I go - not sure what I'd do without it (though I once put it on my cheeks bc sinusitis and it felt like my eyeballs were on fire)
