Gem and Jo's Empties | Spring 2016

Empties videos are just so friggin' satisfying, ya know? 

Who doesn't love that feeling of finishing an entire bottle of moisturizer or shampoo? We certainly do, but our bank balance might not agree. 

The rules of empties videos? You finish a product, hold onto the empty bottle and then share a little mini review, easy peasy!

Some people do youtube (We do, we do!), some people do mini Instagram reviews and some people write lenghty blog posts detailing each individual product and why they like/dislike the product. 

If you're looking for an honest review of a product before you invest it, empties are the way to go. That way you're listening to people who've used the entire product and have a well formed opinion! 

That doesn't say that we don't love a good review post, yall know we love them! 

Have you got any empties? Share in the comments below!

Also Thumbs up and subscribe and all that good stuff, por favor!

Gracias Amigos!

Gem and Jo React To: American Horror Story S5 E1

Well we can safely say that we never, ever want to watch this show again. Ever. We are scarred for life. 

What an utterly horrifying television show. Who in god's name created that, and why is it so popular? You people are crazy for wanting to be that scared. And don't even get us started you people who aren't scared. You'd have to be madder than a bag of spiders to like that. 

If you want to see our reaction to seeing another American Horror Story episode then for your viewing pleasure, the video is down below. 

*Spoiler* We got about 15 minutes in and that was it. We nearly vomited. 

Got any other shows you want us to react to? Give us a shout in the comments!

Gem and Jo's London Tips

If you didn't know from the countless number of instagrams and blog posts about it, we went to London! And boy did we not realise how many rules there are in that city. No. 1 and possibly the most important..don't stand on the left!! 
So to help all the other unwitting tourists like ourselves, we've made a handy-dandy video about our London tips!
So grab a notebook, a cup of tea (2.5 rich tea biscuits) and watch on people....

Do you have any tips for people visiting London? We'd love to know, so chuck em' down in that there comments section!

Until next time,

Gem and Jo's February Favourites 2016

Here we are yet again, another month flew by. We feel like we didn't even have a February, did we have one? Did we just skip it? Even with the extra day this year we didn't notice it pass us by so quickly. Damn time, slipping through our fingers! Quickly, we must seize the day! Someone get the motivational posters about not missing one single moment...

Here's what we loved this past month!

What did you love during February? Did it pass you by just as quick? 

Let us know in the comments!

Gem and Jo React to Game of Thrones: The Red Wedding. [SPOILERS]

So we've never seen an episode of Game of Thrones. Yes, we know, we're late to the game but we just never got around to it! Before this video, we had never seen any, nor understood anything anyone said about GoT, so to entertain you lovely people we decided to watch a random episode from a random season that was recommended to us by our friends who do watch it! This is our reaction: (We advise you to watch with headphones on, there is screaming. Soz.)

Do you watch GoT? Did you like this video, would you like to see more? 

Also to our friends who recommend this episode, we no longer like you. It was horrific. (Also you guys have resulted in Jo being addicted to the show)

Until next time, 

Gem and Jo's February Favourites

Lads its the end of February already. We cannot believe how fast this year is passing us by! However with each passing month something magical happens... Favourites videos! Come on, don't lie you guys watch them as much as we do. No matter how much work we have to do, at the start of a new month we will sit for hours watching many many youtube videos of other blogger's favourites. It's an addiction.

Without further adieu here is our February Favourites video:

What have you been loving this past month? Have you tried any of our favourites?

Gem and Jo's Sweater Weather Tag

Well hello there citizens of Earth and welcome to this post concerning our favourite things about Fall. (Autumn if you're in Ireland, which we are, but we prefer Fall. It's just so much nicer than the word 'Autumn'. Also easier to spell. Thank Cheesus for spellcheck!) 

In this video you shall encounter us being idiots and Gem not knowing any Fall memories, except for last week. 

Feast your eyes upon the wonderful questions we attempted to answer:

1. Favorite candle scent?
2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
3. What's the best fall memory you have?
4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 
5. Best fragrance for fall?
6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?
7. What is autumn weather like where you live?
8. Most worn sweater?
9. Must-have nail polish this fall?
10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
11. Skinny jeans or leggings?
12. Combat boots or Uggs?
13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
14. Favorite fall TV show?

Also, has anyone ever tried a Pumpkin Spiced Latté? Do they even exist or is Starbucks just brainwashing us into thinking their real. We've never heard of anyone actually drinking it. Conspiracy!! 

There ya go. A video of our faces. And some words. Actually this video probably doesn't even make sense to anyone but us. But sure, It'll be grand.

Gem and Jo's College Tips

So it's nearly that time again, back to college and we decided that since we are going into our final year we could give some of you college newbies a few tips on how to survive and make some friends!

It's never too late to go into third level education and whether you're 18 and just finished school or your 65 and ready to learn again, it's just as scary and daunting for everyone. We hope our tips will help you get through the college year without breaking down crying or being friendless and lonely.

1. Talk to people. Sounds easier than it is!

2.  Join a Society or Club. They have ones for absolutely everything. Pick one that strikes your interest and join. You'll meet loads of people!

3.  Take advantage of all the facilities on campus, academic and non academic! Fees are expensive enough, might as well get your money's worth! 

4. Do your own thing and be your own person. 

5. If you are a commuter, get a locker. It will save your life and your back. 

6.  Screen shot your timetable and send it to your friends. 

7. Enjoy yourself, but do the work. There's no point in paying a ton of money to come out the other end with a terrible degree, a little work goes a long way. "Due Tomorrow, Do Tomorrow" should not be your philosophy!

Remember, the person sitting beside you on that first day probably doesn't know anyone either, all it takes is one little hello!
Good Luck and we hope you enjoy college as much as we have!
