My uncalled for mini haul...woopsy | Zoella Controversy

Hi guys how you doing? Well the above happened recently... I went shopping and couldn't legitimately resist. First of all who can't go into a Superdrug and resist buying a Zoella Beauty product. Me! I know there has been some controversy following Zoella, her image and the example she sets to young girls. Here is what I think about the whole dispute.

♥

My View:
I know a lot of bloggers create blogs to discuss delicate issues, what they think and other opinions in the comments. But to set out and comments on someone image firstly that I think is wrong. A blog is a place of your own, a reputation you create from scratch on the internet and to fill with hateful comments. (The Zoella Controversy was posted on a blog post by a blogger!) And the commenting on the success she has built up over 5 years, i also think is uncalled for. She built up her successful reputation by hard work and utter determination and it's not there for people to mock upon. I think she has strived other young girls to persevere their own dreams. When she started writing she never knew what would happen in the future, no one does so she made her image from the bottom worked her way to the top and I personally admire that.

I then went into a shop called Tiger and the first thing I saw was the cute little lunchbox, I know I may be to old for lunch boxes like that but you've got to admit, when you see a lunch box with a sleepy (i'm guessing) fox on it you have got to have utter will power not to buy it. It was also a bargain at £3.00!

♥

I then bought the Weekly Planner in Tiger. It's really clear as to whats to come in the weeks ahead so yay! If I can keep this organising thing up i'll be sorted! This planner was also £3.00!
The colouring pencils I needed. I have not one coloured pencil in my house... sad right! These were £2 and there is a hell of a lot in them!

♥

Staying in Tiger I bought the geometric type notebook just for school if I want to jot something down and the I bought these lovely cotton pads. They have like a flower pattern on them and are super easy to use and remove make up with. Notebook: £2.00 (I  think) Cotton Pads £1.00
Boots: I bought two mini things from Boots. A Toni and Guy, Prep heat protection mist and a Rimmel pencil eyeliner. This eyeliner actually works! It's Soft Kohl so it's not jet black and I also smudge it with a smudger so you get a soft line. I really think it gives a nice effect and would be
perfect for a smokey eye look.

♥

I also bought the Lush Melted snowman. I am hoping to try it soon. And to compensate all my bath bombs I bough a Lush Fizz Tank to store them all in.

Thats my haul and controversy views over. Hope you liked it. Have you heard about the controversy, if so what do you think. If not then also tell me your views in the comments based on this post.

What's in my school bag?

 This is a small post, just telling you whats in my school bag. I will link where you can buy all the things in my bag and give mini reviews on each item (links will open in a new tab). Enjoy. 

Bag:

I'm starting a new school, so it makes sense to get a new bag. Mine is from John Lewis and was made by a company called Fiorelli. It may seem compact but in fact has three separate compartments in the middle section, a zip at the front for small things and a separate section in the main compartment.

Notebook:
Now I won't be able to give you a link to my notebook, but if you live in Australia you will be able to purchase this one. This item I got on my travels to the Sydney Opera House. It's light, compact and came with a matching pen (what's not to like)! It's made out of recycled materials and has ruled pages.

Pencil Case:
I bought my pencil case a while back in January form Paperchase. It has 3 sections inside and has lots of cute foodie bits and bobs on it. It also has like a laminated outer 'shell' so it doesn't get dirty easily. I didn't buy another pencil case because this one has lasted ages and is still in great condition. I looked on the Paperchase website but wasn't able to find the same one but instead I linked the 'Pencil Case' area just in case you wanted to check them out.

Lunch Box:
This lunch box is from Urban Outfitters. I didn't have a lunch box, and I truly did need one. I though this would be perfect for small snacks like fruit or chocolate (oops)! This also grabbed my attention because of the eye catching colours. Also under the contrasting strap to secure the lid it says 'hands off,' which I thought was super cute and funky.

Diary:
I was browsing the John Lewis website, when I saw this bright, colourful diary and instantly checked it out. It is perfect. It's an academic one so fits in all my school suff. Has handy pockets after each term to store your loose papers and also has an elastic string to secure it.

Coloured Bits:
When studying for exams, I use colour ALOT. I find it helps section each thing and later on it helps me revise near exam time so these are a must in my bag. I got my colours from Wilkinsons.

Vanilla Wipes:
I picked these wipes up at the till. They were cheap and cheerful so i thought 'why not?' A bit of the spur of the moment buy really. I haven't tried them out yet but I think after every lunch it would be nice to freshen up and school/college can be a very dirty place.
