The most important thing for me is my pencil case. Inside this I have my essentials ( see my post about this here) which mostly consists of pens, highlighters and post it notes.

To go alongside this I carry my writing materials. This year I have decided to have one notebook for each subject and seeing as I only have 3 of my options on my first day I shall only be lugging around 3. To accompany these I am also plan to take a plastic wallet for each subject for loose handouts. I will also be taking my iPad to type up any essays or homework.

As I shall be walking to and from my bus stop when I start college and as the British weather is so unreliable an umbrella will not be leaving my school bag.

The next thing that shall not be leaving my bag is my emergency kit (post here) as this includes what I consider my beauty and health must haves such as pain killers, lip balm and my nail file!

In addition to this I shall be carrying my calculator ( which I have managed to lose! ), my school planner , a french dictionary, a bottle of water, my packed lunch and my iPod.

Have I missed anything? What do you carry?

I was looking forward to the day for ages and was ever so grateful when a few of the other bloggers attending the meet up said that we could walk to the venue together as we had no idea where it was. Fortunately we found it quite straightforwardly and he events antics could be on their way.

One of the most exciting things at the event, for me anyway, was the pop booth which gave bloggers an opportunity to have their photos taken with crazy props, hence the big glasses and moustache ( I liked Jessica's face in the background too!)

The venue, 2022NQ, also showcased some brands such as Tinned Bananas, Derma V10 Tech, Lavish Alice, South Beach Swim, Bags from La Moda and some amazing false lashes from Coldora - with stands showing current and upcoming products and also offering goody bags. There were also various opportunities to sample the most AMAZING cupcakes.

When I thought that even this was enough, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I had won a curling wand from Ice Diamond and was then further spoilt with another goody bag! I am even tempted to dedicate a whole post to these for those who are interested as there is a great mix of products and I cant wait to review all the products for you! 

Overall I had an amazing day and met so many new people! Everybody was super friendly and welcoming and I really felt at home.

Thank you ever so much Ray and Tor for your hard work and for the goody bags we were provided with, it is clear how much hard work and dedication was put in!
