They have a blogger app!

Oh my gosh! I'm sorry for not posting over the summer! I've hardly been using my pc and I'm lazy and stuff.

They have a proper app now for blogger in the app store :D it's the official app and I'm on it right now ehehehhe.


Just thought i'd throw that out there, so i'll hopefully be posting more regularly these days :)

Hello!

Hiyah!

I haven't posted in about 2 weeks, sorry!
I've been busy with skating and my birthday and just loads of random stuff so I've hardly been on my computer and I was too lazy to use my ipod app so ;L

Yahh! It was my birthday yesterday :) It was okay I guess, didn't really do anything but I went on the Sims3 for a few hours, hehe. I love the Sims <3 :D I prefer it way more than violent games like COD and various other violent, bloodthirsty stuff like that... I mean seriously, how can you not love creating a person and living their lives? :)
I made the character I created yesterday a firefighter, and then she became an architectural designer, I don't know why I feel the urge to bore you with these details but woooo! Sims3! One of the best things is to have lots of kids and then they have kids and so on, eventually the old-age parents are great-great grandparents and then they die... and then you carry on :)

I also really like building houses with 9 floors :D 5 floors up and 4 basement floors!



Slightly weird post today but I just thought I'd type and see what happened, and it came out like that ^ hahah

My hair is fried!


My hair is frazzled!
I woke up this morning and untied the bun in my hair, hoping for it to be big and wavy for today, only to find the ends of my hair completely fried and puffy! I then remembered that I had backcombed/teased my hair earlier and then rushed off and quickly tying it up in a bun without brushing it out... It took some doing to replenish the moisture and basically save my hair. I used the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor deep conditioner with Australian balm mint. It did the job pretty well and my hair is all soft now, yay!
I took photos of my hair before and after I conditioned it and here's what it was like before:







And after:











Much better! I don't really look after my hair that much because it's so straight I can just mess it up completely and brush it out after and it's okay again. Also, my hair is really thin so it's pretty low maintenance etc. I do damage my hair though...I dye it, curl it, straighten it, dry it out, I rarely use heat protectors etc. But once a week I nourish it so I guess it's okay?

I had a lovely time in Paris

Hey :)


I'm back from Paris and I've had a good week so far.
I'm now doing the photography for our annual sports day, I'm also running the 1500m and the relay.
So,
Today I ran a mile for school, which wasn't excellent since I had a migraine, went cross-eyed in the last 400m and almost collapsed because of it. I haven't actually done a long distance race in a year, I run a couple of times a week and cycle and train etc. But I haven't run properly, which meant I was slower than I hoped I would be, haha.


Hmm, I can see properly now, at least that's better :)



Here's some photos I took in Paris:





I don't really have a lot to say today, so I'll leave it here.

I'm gonna go to the top of the Eiffel tower and our hotel is on the river seine :) awesome right?


Way too excited! See you all in a few days. :)

I got an iPod app for blogspot!

Hey :)


At last I got an app for my iPod that supports blogspot :D awesome! This has made my day, I know that must seem weird but yeah, I've finally got the ability to post in mobile format via iPod, yayayay! Hahahahah I must seem very hyper in this post, I am.



It is so freaking hot! Today has been THE hottest day at school that I've ever had, period. It was so insanely hot that just sitting in the shade for 30 seconds was overwhelmingly warm.

Thing is, as Brits we complain all year round about the weather.
'it's too cold'
'it's too wet and grey'
'it's so humid'
'it's snowing! I can't go out!' - The whole country has to come to a stop when it snows more than 3 inches, haha
'it's thundering'
'it's too hot'



- yesterday's barbecue :)




We just cannot get used to British weather, it's constantly changing (oxymoron there!) and it's never the same as the year before. Hmm.


It's so hot right now, I'm lying in my bed feeling like I've been wrapped up in foil and thrown on a barbecue, even with the window open, fan on full whack and cold water on my wrists (thanks Hannah!)


- lilac tree in my garden hehehe :)




A weird post tonight, I realise. But I just thought I'd write a little something since I have this app now :) and I feel like ranting about British weather so I thought 'why not?' and now I'm typing, chuckle.



Geo.x <3

P.S - the app is called BlogSpace and it's free and it's cool :)

Migraines

Hey :)


You may or may not know this, but I suffer from migraines.
Yeah, I know it's weird because I'm a teenager and young people don't get migraines blah blah blah. But actually, that's not true. 1 in 10 school children get migraines, and 1 in 4 women get them, too. So really, the odds aren't that crazy. Since I am a school kid, and I am a woman - that is such a weird thing to say, hahah.
Tumblr_l5h4tgb7k31qcwdpzo1_1280_large

Yeah so migraines, I only found out 2 weeks ago I think after I had a panic attack because of a headache that I'd had since the morning before.

Migraines are pretty complex, really. They're not always like what they are typically stereotyped as - having to lie down for 3 days in the dark being sick. Nope, that's not necessarily the case.
They're usually one-sided and spread over the face, which is the main problem that my migraines give me, and they can come with an aura - which is where before you get a migraine you can kind of sense it's going to happen. E.g Your hand might tingle, or you might get dizzy or faint, there's loads of signs.
You can also get the migraines without an aura, where you just suddenly get a really bad headache.
 I sometimes get auras, sometimes I don't. I don't really know what triggers my headaches, either. It's complicated.

Another example of an aura, shimmer vision, something I occasionally experience
Yeah, so giving you completely random information there!



Yep,
Geo.x <3



P.S - I did most of that post on my iPod so if there are any typos I apologise now because I have probably missed them while scanning haha! <3

10 Things - I Love

Hey :) So I did the same post on my tumblr about a week ago but I've decided to post it onto here, too. It's just a cut and paste of the tumblr one but I'm going to do '10 Things' on here instead so I felt like I needed that post on here :) 





10 Things I Love
Hannah also does this on her blog I think (http://sunsetswillrise.blogspot.com/) so I thought I would do the same since thousands of people seem to be doing it recently and it looks fun :)
1. Photography
image
I am passionate about photography, even though I’m only 13, I obsess over a beautiful photo. I love film cameras, digital, the lot. I use a Nikon D500 dSLR, it’s not the best, but it’s perfect for me at the moment. I take it everywhere and just constantly take photos. <3
2. Tsubasa Masuwaka
One of my favorite models, amazing hair and on terms of fashion choices shes just as awesome <3

<3 <3 <3
3. Sunets
They are so beautiful and my friend Hannah made me realise how fantastic they were truly. I took a gorgeous shot of a sunset in another friends field behind her house. This is it:
image
4. LOOKBOOK.nu <3
It is so inspirational fashion-wise and phoo-wise, I could spend hours just browsing through peoples looks, here is a favorite of mine:

5. Short-track Speed Skating <3
This is the sport I spend most of my life doing, it’s amazingly fast, adrenaline filled and just awesome!

I took those three shots at the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships 2011 in March <3
6. Music
I listen to music constantly.
Some of my favorite bands/artists are:
- Two Door Cinema Club
- Mindy Gledhill
- The Cribs
- The Wombats
- Regina Spektor
- Kate Nash
- Lily Allen
- Jason Mraz
- Adele
- Nicki Minaj
- M.I.A
- Darwin Deez
- Noah And The Whale
- Jack Johnson
And about 64786231785675823163891 more :L
7. Wearing loads of bracelets.
I usuaully don’t wear any less than 6 or 7 bracelets, I juat like having all the colour and variety on my wrist :) I only wear bracelets on my left wrist though, I’m not sure why really but it just feels wrong when I have them on my right wrist, hehe.
image
That just looks so cool :3
8. Nail Varnish
I love nail varnish, I have about 42 different colours and brands and I just love experimenting with the colours when I’m not at school :) Once again, I love the colour just being there on me :3
image
9. Rainbows <3
They are just so lovely :)
After the storm comes the rainbow.

Finally, 10. British Landscapes
I thought about this one quite a bit, British Landscapes are often so underrated and are usually not talked about like the beauty that they are. It may seem impossible to capture a fantastic British Landscape shot, but you can easily take the most captivating photos. We write the British Landscape off by saying that the weather is too overcast and well, British. But that is something that you can make a beautiful thing. Bleak, dull days overcast with clouds can create amazing sillhouettes and when the sun is peeking past all the cloud the rays beam out everywhere, like a fantasy.
Here are some examples of the British Landcsape at its best:
