What's in my bag 2016

Hi there!

I thought I'd be nice to share what I cary with me in my bag during summer. I love to see what other people have in their bag, so I hope you enjoy!

I got my bag ages ago and I recently started loving using it again. It's from Pieces and I really love it! The size of this bag is very lovely because it fits everything you could possibly need without being uncomfortably large. This bag has a leather look but obviously it's not real. But even being not real, the quality of this bag is wonderful! It doesn't have any protective studs at the bottom, but there still is no damage to the "leather". Unfortunately, you can't buy it anymore. 

The main thing in my bag is obviously my wallet/purse. I didn't do this on purpose, but again this is from pieces. I just really love their stuff, as you can probably tell haha. The only thing I don't really like of this purse, is that it's quite large. So if I'm wearing a small crossed-body bag or clutch, I can't bring this wallet because it doesn't fit. The positive thing about the purse being so large is of course that there's enough space for everything. The next thing I always have to have with me, is my phone of course. I just have the Iphone 6 in silver. Because I don't like to listen to music with my phone, I also bring my Ipod touch. This thing is so old and looks horrible, but I don't care. It still works perfect and it's nice to have something just for my music. 

I try to always bring my agenda, but if I'm honest, most of the time it's still at home on my desk. So when I'm out, I usually put important things in my phone and I write it down as soon as I'm home. I feel like this is such a basic thing, but whenever I'm out, I ALWAYS need my gum. I feel so weird and uncomfortable when I don't have the possibility to chew gum. Another thing I bring with me are my sunglasses. I got these in Prague and I don't remember the name of the store, but I love them. 

I don't bring makeup with me, but I do cary some other things such as lipbalm, deodorant, perfume, hand cream (and sometimes bodylotion) and handsanitizer. These are essentials for emergencies and make me feel like I'm prepared for everything. If I'm wearing lipstick, I'll also bring that to touch up a bit. 

That's basically everything I need to have with me. I hope you enjoyed.

Love A

RUN RUN RUN

Hi there!

Lately, I've been really getting into running. I used to absolutely hate it, but all of a sudden, I love it! Since never used to do it and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I figured it would be helpful to find an app that would help me to keep track of all my running information. And I found the perfect app: Runtastic! 

This is a free app available for Apple, Android and Windows. This app tracks everything you could possibly need to know about your running experience. I just use the most simple version of this app, but there are so many extra gadgets your can add to track even more. I'm talking about heart rate monitors, watches, scales and many more! Of course this is just an option and you don't need it to get an amazing program.

"What does this app actually do?", I hear you thinking. Well, most important, it keeps track of your distance, speed, but also the increase of height your had during your run and the amount of calories you've burnt. If you connect a heart rate monitor, it'll also keep track of your heart rate during your run. Well all of these things are quite usual and you find them in almost every running/workout app. But there are some small things and options that make this app a little more special and more comfortable to use. For example, this run tracks your route, using your gps signal and it shows your speed at every stage of the run. 

Also, you have the option to add music to a playlist to listen while you're running and you can get motivated by a personal coach. These are the little things that make this app a little more likeable than the others. The thing that keeps me motivated to keep going for runs, is the fact that all your workout sessions get saved in your history and this makes me want to improve all the time. You can also earn medals for special achievements and they send you weekly reports of your workouts. What I also like to do, is ad a picture from my view every time I end my running session. Again, this makes it a bit more personal and inspiring. 


The amazing thing about this app is that it can be used for any sport you can imagine. I only use it for running and sometimes for cycling when I want to know how far and how quick I've cycled. I highly recommend trying this app out if you love sporting and you want to keep track of your achievements!


Love A
