Barry M nailpolish, Daily Bread, Kindle, Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Peaches, what's on my bedside table

Minty and I, between us, have loads of ideas to post up on this blog, and one recently being “What’s on your bedside table?”. Minty’s asked me to do one so here I am

Yes. Women are nosey by default, true, Minty. However, don’t bother looking at a male’s. The ones I’ve seen see have protein shakes, coins, and condoms sneakily stuffed in some tissue barrel. Ew. (Okay I’m really nosey sometimes)

I’d like to think females tend to be lovelier creatures when it comes to things like…what’s on their bedside table.

There really isn’t much on my table, but usually I put things on it as a reminder of what I have to do before I sleep.

The little “Moments of Peace from the Psalms” book was from my dad before I left for university years ago, and it’s helped me a great deal in handling all sorts of situations. It makes a great bedside comfort book!

Asos, Brandalley, Kindle, The Cambridge Satchel Company, Warehouse

I keep vowing that I won’t shop for the next few weeks, months but I ALWAYS get itchy fingers that it’s very hard to stop.myself.from.clicking.urggGGhHH BUY!!

There goes my will power

Well here are the few recent goodies I snatched up in the sales (my favourite time to shop!).

My 13″ pink Cambridge Satchel Company x Asos candy-striped pocket satchel arrived in the post today and I’m SO excited to see it! It’s the perfect size to go out with, compared to my 14″ batchel which is slightly bigger.

Love it!

13″ pink Cambridge Satchel Company x Asos satchel candy-striped pocket

Bagged this at a cool £55 from its original price of £110! 100% leather, it’s got a cotton candy striped pocket which makes this bag ultra cute!

I compare the pink 13″ satchel with my 14″ Vintage & Navy batchel:

There isn’t much difference, but the 13″ is a manageable size. The 14″ satchel carries A4 folders easily, instead of the 13″ satchels.

Treat the 13″ like a handbag, but this is to illustrate to you that I managed to pop in one 587-page legal book (Criminal Procedure), along with a thinner book in the big compartment.

Here is what fits in the smaller compartment:

…my Kindle! The man had recently presented me my very own Kindle because he knew I love reading but wouldn’t buy books as I wouldn’t be able to ship everything home when I left the UK. Also,if he couldn’t get any sweeter, he had 1000 free books waiting for me to be put into my Kindle! He’s such a sweetie
