Summer Day Trip Essentials

So I'm going to London with my friends in a few weeks and thought I'd give you a peek at what I'll be taking in my bag with me! All of these things are basically just what I'd carry with me for any summer adventure I go on, ignoring the essentials such as purse, keys, phone etc. In hindsight the title of this post now seems misleading haha! 

The backpack which is featured in the picture is one I bought recently from Primark, I couldn't resist the gorgeous boho fringing on it and when I saw that it zipped up and had a magnetic closure, plus has three pockets inside, well I was sold. Starting with the very essential luggage; drinks and snacks. Usually if I'm going  out for the day that involves an early wake up call, thus I usually need a cup of coffee or green tea to get me going, so you will rarely see me out of the house before 8am without a travel mug in my hand. I picked up this particular one in Primark after I dropped my Costa one on the floor and smashed it *Insert crying emoji* I liked the bright colours and slim design. I also like to carry a bottle of water or something else as well for later in the day. Even if we do end up going out for lunch I always like to have a healthy snack with me, today I have some light Tesco popcorn as I couldn't find any ProperCorn or Metcalfe's, plus a Yoyo bear which my brothers girlfriend introduced me to. They're like winders but made from pure fruit and thicker with a slightly more rubbery texture.

In the summer it's always important to stay protected from the sun, so I always try to carry a mini sun lotion this one I picked up in the clearance section of boots and at least one pair of sunglasses with me! To keep myself smelling fresh I usually carry a mini body spray or deodorant and to stop shine I always have a pack of oil sheets with me. I swear there's a pack in every bag I own, but these Kleenex ones are soooo good. And I always carry my new powerbar wherever I go as everyone knows how unreliable smartphone batteries are nowadays. Many a time at work this has saved me or more recently when I went to Stratford and had to wait for an extra hour for the train because we had just missed the last one back home.
