Friday Favourite #6 The Q&A 5 Year Journal

Early this year there was a little bit of a craze in the blog community around the Q&A journal.

But just in case you've been living under a rock i thought i'd through in my thoughts.

The basic concept of the journal is that every day of the year asks a question and under it there is space for 5 years worth of answers. Its a simple concept but also quite a clever one.

I reckon it'd be interesting to look back and have a snapshot of how life and probably more importantly my perspective on life has changed. Kind of like writing little notes for your future self.

Maybe it is the fact that i'm evidently trying to have a bit of a early mid-life crisis (see HERE and HERE) but i'm hoping that i can stick to keeping this diary as every time i pick it up it somehow gives me a bit of hope for change in the future (oh dear i've gone all deep again!) Seeing those blank spaces wondering what i might fill them with......

Are you doing a Q&A journal?

i got mine for £6.19 from Amazon HERE

Whats in my Bag...

The whole whats in my bag thing is my favourite thing to ever come out of the interweb. Whether its a You Tube video i just love knowing what folk carry around on a day to day basis. 

Now don't go looking at me like i'm a weirdo i know i'm not alone in this. I mean your here reading this ;-)

My favourtite ones to read are the real ones, not the immaculately manicured I've just bought all this stuff today and put it in my shiny new bags, but more the its been a while, I've tipped it over, and this is what i have kind.

That's what this is. Obviously I've spread it out so you can see but this is what was in my bag this morning.

So:

The bag itself is from Primark its roomy enough for all my junk, is nicely structured so it looks smart, and has a nice retro feel.

The brown Umbrella is a 'Little Brown Umbrella' from Macys that i picked up in New York a few years ago. It has a button for making it go up so it is really handy for sudden showers.

Purses; Penelope Pineapple and Mr Panda. I use one for cash and one for cards.

Cuticura Anti-bacterial gel. I picked this up because i'm going to become a proper commuter again and buses are icky (technical term there!) I got this one because it proclaimed to smell nice, it doesn't, again i find myself jealous of people with Bath and Bodyworks near them.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer folding hairbrush. Tissues from Primark.

Plane ticket from going to Birmingham last week. Bus ticket for getting to the new job this week (Scared!)

Fingerless gloves, not pretty but make using my phone easier when its cold.

Notebook and Watermelon pen. I've had the pen a LOOONNG time and it still smells of watermelon :-)

My Blackberry, the marmite of the mobile phone world. I love mine, but i do have a Sony Xperia S as well (used to take the pics on here).

Bunch of sweets, again from the trip to Birmingham.

Random receipts and Boots vouchers

Garnier Intensive 7 days hand cream (meh!)

I don't carry much makeup but i do carry lip stuff. In the mix here are:

Revlon Just bitten Kissable balm stain in Honey
Accessorize in Infatuated
Revlon Lip butter in Candly Apple
Revlon Colorburst in Blush
Blistex Medplus for lips

I'm thinking of getting a makeup bag since i'll be heading out straight from work more so maybe that will one day be a post.

Whats in your bag?

Pink Wednesday

Thought i'd join in with the whole pink wednesdays thing.

I wish i could tell you more about this colour but it was an unlabelled bottle of opi i got in a swap from Makeup Alley. So if anyone has any ideas of what it might be please let me know because its a nice shade and i'm nearly out :-(

Anyway i must run,
