Lush Bubblegum Lipscrub; Review

I thought I would rave to you about a few of my favourite things. Basically, I thought maybe I could start a little segment to my blog. I tend to ramble to my friends and family about products I love so I thought why not do that on my blog?! You may hate this or you may love it, only time will tell. So, the first in my Georgia Raves segment is me raving about Lush's Bubblegum Lip Scrub!





This scrub is my favourite of any I have tried. Granted, I haven't tried many but that is because I stumbled across this one! After that I have never looked back. 





This is a handmade product and can be purchased at Lush, either in store or online. The glass jar and plastic lid make it easy to use on the go. No matter how many times you drop it it just won't break! Trust me, I'm quite clumsy so you'll probably learn fast that I love sturdy packaging. 






The consistancy of the product itself is basically sugar. That is really the only way I can describe it to you, sugary. It really does wonders for your lips and it also tastes AMAZING! I honestly think that if a product tastes good I will like so much more, and let me tell you I could eat this entire jar ( as you can probably see ). But, as always, everyone has different opinions on taste. My Mum for example likes the scrub but not the taste. These are however other flavours you could look at if Bubblegum just isn't your thing. There will be something for everyone! 



As always I have listed the prices for the countries with the highest amount of people who read my blog.

AUSTRALIA: $9.95
UK£5.25

USA: $9.95

Thank you so much for reading my blog! Tell me what you think of my "Georgia Raves" idea. Should I keep it or am I embarrassing myself? Also, have you tried this product, do you love it as much as I do? I love when people comment and give me feedback!

RIP 2012

Out with old, in with the new! Happy New Year!



As I said on twitter  recently, for me, 2012 wasn't good and it wasn't bad. It just kind of happened. I mean, it was my final year of school so I had nothing else to think about but when my next assignment was due. Life was all one organized schedule. 2013, not so much...

I could rant to you about all the changes that will be happening this year but that's boring, as you probably know what happens after school. So, instead I had a different idea. New Years Resolutions!
I've never actually had a New Years Resolution as I know I wouldn't stick to it but this year I will, for my blog, because this way I can document my results.

My idea is to make a list of Resolutions that I know will be a struggle for me but I want to do for myself. Also, if I post it online I feel like I will want to try harder because it's out there for people to see..

MY RESOLUTIONS FOR 2013 

Smile and Laugh more: This may seem silly to some people but I honestly think everyone should make this goal. I find that even when I'm in an awful mood if I just force a smile I feel a little better. 

Take more photos: One of my biggest regrets is always that I didn't photograph the moments I want to remember. In 2013 I will try my hardest to photograph everything! 

Worry less: You probably don't know this about me but I'm a massive worrier. I am a very anxious person and I worry about every little thing and I don't want to be like that. I know it will take time but this is probably one of the most important personal goals I've made. I don't want to forever be the anxious friend. 

Make more blog posts: This is pretty self explanatory, I don't post on here enough. It's not about views or followers, I started this blog simply because I've always wanted to and now that I have I should use it!

Take my own advice: I always give my friends and family advice but when it comes to myself I just don't seem able to follow my own advice. I always know what I should do in certain situations but I never seem to do what I know I should be doing. This year I will. I will try to anyway. 

Start YouTube: As I've said in previous blog posts I have wanted to start YouTube for over 3 years and I've never been brave enough to do it. I'm getting a new camera this month sometime so I will just go for it. When I do I will make sure to make a post about it. 

Be more outgoing: Although I'm not a very quiet person when I meet new people I am quite shy. I want to try and be more outgoing and make new friends! I like meeting new people it just takes me quite some time to get comfortable enough to totally be myself. 

Just Enjoy Life: As a result of a lot of bad things happening in the past few years I tend to forget the main point to life. Simply enjoy it. As my Mother always said to me "that's life." I need to stop and think. Life is there to be lived, I just need to live it. 

So, there are my main goals for 2013! I know I won't magically be able to do all these things but I can try. I hope this post gave you a bit of insight into me and who I am. I have complete faith that 2013 will be a great year! If you've made any New Years Resolutions let me know in the comments below, I'd love hearing from you!
