Instagram Post #5

Hi Lovelies, My head really hasn't been into blogging recently so I apologise for my severe lack of posts recently. Hopefully I'm back with regular posting from now on. I have a few posts I'm hoping to get up today and a lot more up my sleeve, So lets hope I have the motivation to write them all and keep your eyes peeled.

Here's a look at my Instagram recently to ease me back into blogging :)

First up the YSL Mascara Set I got from Debenhams a few weeks back. I love it! Tesco Express opened on my street last month and I went straight out and got myself some delicious cupcakes! I buy the Cookies & Cream ones all the time now, they are gorgeous! The best chocolate from the box my boy bought me for Valentines Day! It was huge, had bits of Raspberry in it and was white and pink chocolate, perfectly amazing! For anyone that thinks Pole Dancing is 'sexy' and whatever else, NO! your wrong, it bloody hurts and I often come home with bruises, this massive one (the size of my hand) appeared after an hours lesson trying to learn a new move! I'd been dying to recieve this Boots order for over a week, I was far too excited when it arrived. I eventually bought some of the new effects polishes from Barry M, a textured in Kingsland Road and Gelly Hi Shine in Lychee when they were on 2 £6 in Superdrug. The array of different brands I use on my everyday face! I never realised I used so much until I put them altogether for this photo. My new obsession, Old El Paso spicy chicken fajitas, we use the Extra Mild kit and I add lettuce cheese and sour cream and herbs sauce to mine, definitely my favourite food at the minute! A few weekends ago me and my boyfriend stayed at my Auntie's house while she was away, to look after her cats. I took countless pictures of the cats, Ginger one is Tizer the Black one is Sooty and the Grey and White is called Zazzles. Zazzles got on the top of the kitchen door on the first night, so funny! I love these little Milkybar Bunnies they've bought out for Easter. And finally the recent pole move I achieved on Tuesday, I was so happy to eventually do it and I am rather proud of myself, it requires a lot of upper body strength and took quite a while to master! I'm still contemplating doing a post on this sport, because I am still wary of what people will think and the negativity I could receive. If its something you'd be interested in though, please let me know

Hope everyone's had a good week and haven't had anymore problems with this worsening weather. I've had two power cuts whilst writing this up, nothing to do with the weather I'm sure but still, I'm not best pleased.

Much Love Gemma xo.

Instagram Post #4

Hi again, my second post today is my 4th helping of the pictures I have been sharing on Instagram in the past month or so. I think its gnna be a long one so lets get cracking.

First up my favourite Montagne Jeunesse so far, Chocolate Orange which literally smells like Terry's Chocolate Orange! Gorgeous! I picked up the Raspberry Lip Butter from Nivea a few weeks ago and it smells absolutely beautiful. I came across a great Instagram page 'getmydreambody' its full of motivational quotes, exercises and inspirational pictures, I loved this quote so much I had to share it myself 'I never regret it when I do it, I regret it when I don't.' which is so true I never regret exercising I always feel great afterwards, even when I'm knackered or in pain! However when I don't exercise I feel like a failure and regret it! I am really trying to get my body in great shape. Next I came across an app called Cocoppa and got myself some really cute girlie icons for my iPhone. I bought a box of chocolates on a whim and thought they were cute! Weirdo!!! My first ever #tbt or #throwbackthursday if your not familiar with the hash tag, This is a picture from 2009 at Leeds Festival, when me and my friends got our faces painted (I'm positive it was for a charity to raise awareness or something!) also my friend with a star on her face? She told the woman doing the face paint she was allergic and only wanted a tiny bit put on, and ended up with that! Ridiculous! I've decided I'm getting organised in 2013 with the help of this amazingly nice notebook from Wilkinsons and diary from Store 21. I was home alone last Saturday night so decided to watch Teen Mom with a Jack Daniels and Coke. The most amazing juice I have ever come across Apple and Raspberry from Tesco, (have you noticed a reoccuring thing on my Instagram? Raspberry flavoured things! I am obsessed) it tastes like the red J20 but costs only £1! This berry face mask actually stung quite a bit, it smelt gorgeous though and was a lovely pinky/purple colour! We had snow again on Wednesday but by the time I only decided to take a picture when it was melting :( I thought I completed 4pics 1word, But it turns out there was an update so I'm still going with it. If you haven't heard of this game where have you been?! Everyone seems to be playing it, go and download the app now but I warn you it is addictive. And the last three are my Valentines gifts from my boy. I was spoilt rotten with, a bunch of roses, a big box of chocolates, another 5 chocolates spelling out I <3 you, two chocolate love heart lollys, a bag of heart shaped jelly sweets, a me to you teddy bear, a single plastic rose, Lady Gaga's Fame perfume, a cocktail glass full of bath fizzers and a huge card! I was so shocked and beyond grateful! And I love every single one of my gifts. Look how beautiful them flowers are. And as for the box of chocolates I don't even want to eat them they look so pretty!

And that's everything. I hope you didn't get too bored reading this. And hope you all had a fabulous Valentines Day weather your single or in a relationship :)

Much Love Gemma xo.

What I Got For Christmas

Hello Everyone!

I thought today I would show you what I got for Christmas, To some people it may look like I got nothing at all and for others it might seem like I got too much. Personally I think I got a lot and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been given. I am in no way bragging about the things I got, I just enjoy seeing other peoples presents and decided I would let you take a look at mine. I hope you enjoy this post :) It's my first attempt with my camera so bare with the quality of the photos. I will get better I promise!

As you can see I did get a fair bit. I love animal print, so I received a leopard print peplum top from one of my friends, along with a skull necklace that you cant actually see on this photo and a snake effect nail polish, as well as the 'friends' photo frame you can see in front of my GHD's. Its a wooden plaque of the word 'friends' with a love heart photo frame above the 'i' she put one of my favourite pictures of me and her in the heart and it is now hanging above my bed. Sticking with the animal print theme my boyfriends parents bought me the softest leopard print hat with ears and pom poms on it! Lastly for the animal theme another friend of mine bought me a skirt with a tiger on the front of it, along with the red spiked loafers at the front of the picture!

My main presents were my camera off my dad. The Enrapture Totem Styler off my brother. And the Limited Edition Cherry Blossom GHD's from my boyfriend.

My boyfriend also got me. A shamballa type bracelet, a box of Lucky Charms and the cutest cat keyring I have ever seen. I love cats, lucky charms and glitzy jewellry and I was in desperate need of some new straighteners so all of his gifts were perfect!!

Off my Auntie I got a 'Hunks Calender and some 'Flashing Snowman Chocolate' my Auntie and I are really close so funny presents like these aren't rare! Sorry if the cause offence to anyone reading this!

From another friend of mine I got some fluffy pink and white slipper socks. 2 baths sets, a set of 6 shimmery loose eyeshadows and a mirror with a diamante skull on the front of it. From my boyfriends grandparents I got a little Jack Daniels giftset containing a small tumbler glass and a 50ml bottle of Jack Daniels. And lastly from another Auntie, my uncle and cousins I got a white picture frame with 3 photo slots that I forgot to include in the first picture. From other relatives like my Grandad and other Aunties and Uncles I got money which I am saving for my shopping trip to Liverpool on Friday.

And that's everything. I hope you liked the presents I received. I love them all and I am so grateful for all of it. As always if you have done a post like this please send me it. I would love to see them.

Much Love Gemma xo.
