Top 11 Daily Necessities

If you had to run madly from the house and grab only 11 things that you use daily, what would they be?


Here are all the things that I use / need daily in order to function, and yes there are 11, not the usual top 10, mainly because I couldn't bear to leave one out!

1. iPhone - what did we ever do without them?!.  Not only does it keep me in touch, entertained, on time, but it is worth it's weight in gold alone for the public toilet app!  
2. Skin Care - I'm like a dry old prune without my beloved skin care.  Dermalogica Age Smart are my products of choice.
3. The YSL Touche Éclat is the one must have in every woman's make-up bag.  Use it around the eyes to lighten and brighten those bags and dark circles.  Also great to hide away any blemishes.  It illuminates rather than covers up, so no sticky messy concealer to deal with.
4. I use MAC cosmetics for almost all make-up applications.  I adore the quality of the pigments and the eye shadows really do stay on all day.
5. Nars lip gloss is amazing.  It is so moisturising.  I have many shades, but my fave is 'Pillow Talk'.  Equally important at number 5 is my Covergirl mascara.  I have tried nearly every mascara on the market (in the name of research) and this is my favourite.  (Not the waterproof one, it smells a little like petrol).
6. Ahh Stella, how I love this soft, delicate fragrance from Stella McCartney.  Perfect for everyday wear, and sexy enough for evening too.  
7. I am an obsessive, bordering OCD note taker and doodler, so I always carry notebooks with me to draw, write or keep track of the great fashion I see.
8. If my computer were to die, I think I'd have a stroke!  I use it daily without fail .. I'm using it right now!  Luckily the husband is a propeller head and keeps all our equipment humming.
9. I love to sew sew sew, and create my own unique pieces.  My poor little machine gets a bit tired!
10. I spend a lot of time in the car and I am a passionate music lover.  My stations of choice are 3RRR and 3PBS.  They not only play some great stuff, but they have fantastic women presenters with great taste and a point of view.  Sadly something commercial stations lack (oops, slipped into a bit of a rant there ... sorry).
11. finally ... banana's.  I love banana's.  They are great in smoothies, cake and are easy to eat  on the run.
