Is Covering Books In Contact Still A Thing?

Welcome to 2023!

This is my first article of the year and I’m setting the intention in writing that it’s going to be a good one.

While I cannot guarantee that, because some things are out of our control, what I can guarantee is that you’ll have plenty of fun and laughs to listen to every weekday morning starting the 23rd of January! This is when the new brekkie show, Scotty and Rach with Kaley, returns to the airwaves. Rach is off on maternity leave with a new bundle of joy so I’ll be keeping her seat warm.

I do not have children myself but I know all you parents out there that are starting to return to work probably want to pull your hair out and crawl your way to the finish line that is school holidays, and with that comes back to school shopping! I’m only 27 so I still have fond memories of that time. The new pencil case and bag – that have to be aesthetic and match, otherwise what’s the point!

Who doesn’t love the smell of a new pencil and the way a fresh pen glides across the paper, new books, shoes and uniforms as well! One thing my mum used to do when I was in school is make sure I had themed books. I still remember to this day her staying up way too late after getting all her jobs done for the day to cover my books in contact. It was mainly cartoon themed – my favourite was the pink SpongeBob contact she did one year.

But is that still a thing? Or is everyone just going raw nowadays?

If you do cover in contact let me know about it at Star 101.9 Mackay on Facebook or Instagram.

Happy New Year to you,
Kaley
