New Schedule!

Hey lovelies! I have created a new schedule for my blog as I feel it's a bit messy. Instead of blogging random posts on random days of the week I wanted to be more organised and have a schedule of what posts I'm going to write on what days. So, starting from tomorrow (Monday 13th) I am going to post everyday except Saturdays. Posting everyday sounds quite a lot but I'm looking forward to doing it and hopefully you lovely people will look forward to see what's coming. Let me know if you think it's too much though! Here is roughly what my schedule will consist of:

• Monday - An inspirational quote for the week - to help me get through those Monday blues :P
• Tuesday - A wish list - so anything I might have seen and want but can't afford
• Wednesday - A random post - so this could be a haul, nails of the week, my glossy box post, magazine bargain of the month, a review of a product or just a general chat really. 
• Thursday - A get the look post
• Friday - An outfit of the day (ootd) - a nice simple one for a friday as it's my day off work and is the only time I wear actual nice clothes as I basically live in my work clothes or jammies haha
• Saturday - This will be my day off from blogging as this is when my boyfriend is home so I want to spend it with him and not sitting on a laptop I hope you understand <3
• Sunday - My week in pictures

What do you think of this plan? If there are any other posts you think I should give a go then please feel free to let me know in the comments. Oh! Also, I've now got a facebook page which is https://www.facebook.com/gemstrends so would love it if you could "like" my page as I will be putting updates on there about posts and also because......no one likes it yet :( haha! 

Thanks for reading dolls! xoxo

Bubblegum Lush Lip Scrub

Hey everyone, hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I know it's a bit late to be posting (it's 10:45pm here) but I haven't had time today to do this post so wanted to just get it over and done with :). I have seen so many wonderful bloggers who have blogged about this Lush lip scrub and it appealed to me right away! I have such a bad habit of biting my lips and picking the away at the dead skin - I know its gross sorry but I hate when my lips don't feel smooth and they feel all dry. So I had to get this! It's the Bubblegum lip scrub which you can see in the pictures above and look how amazing it looks! I looooove the colour and most of all, the taste. So all you do if you don't already know is put some on to your finger and then rub all over your lips and it's supposed to take all the dead skin off and leave your lips feeling smoooooth like a baby's bum and then the best part is once you've rubbed it all in you get to lick off all the excess! How awesome does that sound? You get them in 3 other flavours - Mint Julips which is supposed to taste like mint chocolate chip without the chip but it smelt so gross and really strong, Popcorn which didn't really tickle my taste buds and there's also a Christmas one called Santas and it's supposed to taste like Cola. The bubblegum one was the one I wanted to try so I stuck to my choice. These cost £5.50 which isn't too bad I suppose as it will probably last a while. 

Have you tried this lip scrub or any of the other ones? Also, I've never been a fan of Lush as I hate the smell of it when I walk past the store but what would you recommend? Let me know in in the comments xoxo.

Outfit of the day

So it's Friday again woohoo! And since every other day of the week I basically live in my work uniform I've decided that every Friday I'm going to do an ootd post since it's my day off and I get to wear my own clothes (sad I know). So yeah....here's my outfit for today. Nothing fancy just a simple black crop top with a little floral skirt I found in the sale in Newlook. I think it's so cute and the colours are so appropriate for this time of year :).

Black crop top - Republic £10.00
Floral Skirt - Newlook in the sale at £4.00!!
