Sorry...

Hi Guys. As you may have noticed I've not posted since last Thursday's Thoughtless Thursday post, and I have some explaining to do!

I went to go on my laptop on the Friday after, and it broke. It wouldn't switch on, the screen was black, the only thing which showed it wasn't completely dead was the whirring noise- which wasn't entirely comoforting. I now have managed to get a new one, and so the posts will hopefully be coming at you more frequently.

Sorry for any inconvience (this sounds like some shop notice now XD) write to you again soon, hopefully.

And sorry for the floating 'hi' you might not have spotted on the right of this photo. lol

Two of my Favourite Blogs!

Well hello there!
I was about to write 'you may not know this, but I love reading blogs' but then I realised I'm a flipping blogger and you're reading this on my flipping blog. Which I actually now think is a good name for a blog come to think about it. 'My Flipping Blog'. Let me check if it's registered.
*a minute later*
Darn it. It is. I don't think there's any posts on it, the page just appears white. Aaah that' a shame, I liked that idea.
*virtual tumble weed rolls across the screen*
*5 minutes later. Realises she actually needs to write about the subject...*
What was I writing this post about, again? Aaah, yes. My lovely bloggers!

It's obvious that I love blogging, and I love reading other blogs too. Originally I was going to write about only my top favourite blog, but it turns out I really couldn't choose between two, and so I decided to write about them both! So, in no particular order (ooh, I feel like an X factor judge!) here they are...

FashionRocksMySocks

I've been watching Rhiannon's YouTube videos and vlogs ever since I discovered her channel when I was ill one day, and binged watched loads of them! Looking back, it is still one of my favouritest (that's not a word, but it should be!) but most simple days, just because her videos cheered me up so much. Anyway, I recently decided to check out her blog because I love her channel so much and I was not disappointed. She's such a lovely person and her bubbly personality shines through in her posts, as well as her awesome style- which I always admire! Some of my favourite posts of hers is her most recent 'what's in my bag' and 'how I style dungarees' because the outfit collage is so cute and original. I agree... if in doubt, wear some red lipstick!

I think reading her posts is also molding mine to be a little less meaningless and unnecessary drivel (don't use this one as an example!) as hers are concise but still have the chatty vibe, which in my mind is an ideal post to read. So if you are in need of a new blog to read, which is based predominantly around fashion and beauty, I'd definitely recommend this one! 

Look how lovely the cover illustrations are!

Through A Cat's Eyes

Link: http://cat-throughacatseyes.blogspot.co.uk/

I re-discovered Cat's blog a few months ago when I got back into hardcore blogging. Hardcore blogging!? What am I going on about? I mean when I got a little more serious with posting and design. Anyway I'm super happy I did because her posts about life and advice are some of my favourites, and I love catching up on them. My favourite post of hers however, was written quite a while ago, but it makes me giggle every time I read it. It's called 'one more thing...' (this is the link) and contains funny and interesting factoids about herself! Which reminds me...I thought I recognised her face when I started re-reading. I'm an avid bake off watcher and I am afraid Cat, if you're reading this, I am one of the ridiculous amount of people that thinks you look like Martha XD! 

Looking through some of her posts I am actually starting to believe I am the only blogger out there that hasn't got ridiculously nice hair. I am sitting here with a blonde ponytail, and everyone has amazing curls or a style that suits them so well. Seriously, I just googled 'blogger haircut'. I need to get a life.

Anyway! If you want to find a blog which has original posts about life, with a but of humour, books, beauty and DIY mixed in, 'through a cat's eyes' is perfect. And if you aren't looking to read a blog like that, go and read it anyway because there is something for everyone, hehe.

I love that font! One of my goals for life is to know the names of every one. Is that weird? Oh well...

And they are my two favourite blogs! Hope you get something out of this post, or just enjoy hearing about what kind of blogs I like to read. Are there any blogs you love? I'd like to hear. Signed, Geekling. xxx

Posts, Posts... Pinterest... and More Posts!

Hi everyone! Thought I'd give you all a big, but fairly speedy catch up! Not sure who this will help out more, you or me, as I need to get on top of all the different post ideas and when they'll be published etc. So please bare with this non post I just have a lot of things to say and organise XD!

PINTEREST!
First of all... I got my Pinterest account back! *pops party popper...if she had one... which she doesn't* Which makes me so happy and I've spent so long on there the past few days because I've been making up for all the time I missed and kind of savouring it whilst I've got it. I'd like to say an enormous thankyou to Grace, who was a member of the Pinterest... eerm... I don't know what to call them... *TEN HOURS LATER* help team! That's the phrase! She helped me out so much after I got past the automated reply and so, once again thankyou! Aaah. So relieved. 

Speaking of Pinterest I have set up a new blog account on there, so if you want to see the kind of stuff I like give that a quick look, maybe! My username is 'Geeklings Blog' and my little '@' name thingy is @geeklingsb. My boards (so far) are: 'Beauty', where I pin fashion and makeup, 'Interior and Exterior', where I pin house and garden design and bits and bobs for around the house, 'Art' which is pretty self-explanatory, 'Humour', which is once again pretty self-explanatory, 'Cute' which is mostly small fluffy animals or little illustrations, 'Extra', which contains all the random pins which don't fit into any other board, 'Blog', self-explanatory, 'Photography' same as before, and 'Wishlist' which is a board of all the things I admire or long to have! Hope you like looking through :)

POSTS!
Upcoming post ideas and mini sort of schedule for them so you know what to look out for! These aren't all the posts I'll be doing, there'll most likely be a few more dotted around, or if something strikes me/ happens I'll no doubtedly talk about in here so don't worry if you don't think there's many/ see any you like... although I'm desperately hoping you'll all at least like one. Or I have failed as a blogger. XD.

Early Next Week (Mon-Wednesday):

• Geekling Bakes: GBBO Week 3. Hopefully making either normal bread, or cranberry and orange soda bread. (I will be doing this up until the end of Bake Off hopefully and so I won't keep writing it down in all the other sections of this post. Same with Thoughtless Thursday!)
• A post about 'Dismaland' which I am currently about to edit and then publish! -Done!-

Late Next Week (Thursday-Sunday)

• Thoughtless Thursday! Either Lana Del Rey, more Benedict Cumberbatch (had to refrain from writing his non-normal names... the fandom will know XD) or Autumn themed things/ quotes.
• Hopefully my Makeup Revolution order will be delivered late next week so I will be doing a haul with all that. I think it'll include 7 items.
• POSSIBLY a review of a few of the new Tanya Burr Cosmetics if I can get my hands on some!

Early Next Month

A little warning that the amount of posts I publish may slightly decrease during this time

• August Favourites (If I have enough to post about!)
• John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo Review (wow, that's catchy... may have to rethink the title of that post XD)

Late Next Month/ Very Early October

• Some of the Things I Got for my Birthday! (My birthday is in late September if any of you were wondering XD)

And that's it I think! Turned out longer than I expected I just wanted to plan it all out and tell you guys. Singed, Geekling. xxx

I'm Still Alive!

Hello! I'm aware that I haven't been active for a few days, and before I went I was daily posting I believe but I just wanted you to know that I've not had a break from blogging- I've actually been working quite hard and putting lots of effort into the posts coming up! So look out for a new post coming tomorrow! 

Signed, Geekling. xx

Also- quick catchup!- I'm meeting some of my favourite youtubers soon so I'll be blogging about that, and I'll be doing some shopping beforehand so one or two hauls may be posted by the end of the week- so keep your eye out!

A Fresh Start!

So, what do you guys think? New theme, new layout, new blog title layout, new background! Lots of new things- not a new me though!

As you can probably tell if you have visited this blog more than once (why thankyou. It's a rarity!) I have somewhat changed the look and feel of my blog. I intend to write more from the heart as well, all my thoughts (well, perhaps not all my thoughts. Jeez, my posts would be coming a million a day!) and daily ideas, instead of the norm challenges. I'll still do most of my old kind of posts but as well as the above suggestions. I'm getting quite excited now. I love you, blog!

Oh and a little shoutout to the people that visited here today- or that one person who kept refreshing my page because they thought the wi-fi wasn't working. It is, by the way. For some reason (I've tried to find out why but I can't seem to locate the source) my pageviews have increased by more than half today. What a lovely thing!

Ok, that's it. Carry on with whatever you were doing. I'll return to my writing and stretch my leg before it goes entirely numb because for some reason I'm writing this whilst sitting in a ball on the floor. Such spontaneity!
