What do I like in a boy?

10 things I look for in a boy...

1) No matter what you look like, If you're funny and can make me laugh I will instantly fall in love with you.

2) I'm attracted to guys who have some sort of talent, whether its singing, dancing, cooking, etc.

3) Honesty. Seriously there's nothing more stressful than playing games and wishing the guy you like would just be straight up with you about how he feels. 

4) Guys who can keep up a conversation. I just hate it when you want to get to know someone and have an interesting chat with them, but they cant even hold a decent conversation, it just winds me up. 

5) Intelligence, or just common sense.- (You'd be surprised how hard it is to find that these days).

6) If you smell nice, again like the above.. I might just fall in love with you. No matter how you look, if you smell nice, you are guaranteed to be more attractive to any girl.

7) I like someone who's down to earth and humble, I hate when people are stuck up in general so let alone a guy.

8) Nice smile. This one doesn't really need to be explained.

9) I'm not looking for someone who wants to talk to me 24/7 but if I'm your girl, I would like a bit of attention now and again. When a guy replies quickly to texts or wants to spend time with me my heart literally sings. Some guys just don't make enough effort. I'm not saying that the guy should do all the work, its just whats the point in putting in 80% of your effort if you're only getting 20% back?

10) Confidence not cockiness. When someone is genuinely happy in themselves it just radiates onto everyone around them, and I like to surround myself with positive people. You don't have to be the most confident person ever, its just nice to be with someone who isn't constantly putting themselves down and being negative.

Thats it for today! Thanks for reading :) geeeboo xox

The Sunshine Award

Hey guys! The other day I was nominated for the Sunshine Award by the lovely Louise who's blog is http://kinderhealthandbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/ go check it out!

In case you're wondering what the Sunshine Award is.. this should explain: 

This Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers who inspire us and bring a ray of sunshine to your life. Here are a few simple rules:

1. Include Award Logo in or on your blog post

2. Link to the person who nominated you

3. Answer 10 questions about yourself

4. Nominate other bloggers to give this award

Now I will answer the questions Louise has asked!

1) Describe your blog with one word.

Mixture 

2) What is your secret to clear skin?

Well I don't really have a secret as my skin is in no way shape or form clear, haha. But I think the thing that has helped control my skin a bit better is this gel I have prescribed from the doctors, it has a very long confusing name. 

3) Which makeup item can you not live without? 

Probably mascara, as I just feel it completes your whole look and sometimes even if I'm having a 'no makeup day' I'll just slick on some mascara and I'll feel more confident. 

4) If you were stranded on a desert island, which 5 items would you miss and wish you had with you?

My phone, my tooth brush/toothpaste as hygiene is important! My iPod, cleansers, and my computer/laptop because without either I wouldn't be able to blog! 

5) Which beauty-related thing must you do before you leave the house?

Put on my makeup or do my hair, either one. 

6) Which hair products are a must for you?

The Lee Stafford leave in conditioner, it smells amazing and does wonders to your hair! 

7) What are your blog goals for the future?

To have a wider audience I think as I'd like the idea of knowing that when I do a blog post a lot of people will be reading it, instead of just 1 or 2. And also just to be more experienced in blogging itself and writing about a lot more things, hopefully my ideas and blogging skills will grow in the future. 

8) Which 3 things do you like to do to help you relax to sleep at night and which 3 things do you do in the morning to feel more awake? 

Well for night I normally have a nice hot bath, listen to music and just chill watching tv or youtube videos.

And for morning I find that downing a glass of water wakes me up, as usually if you feel tired when you wake up its because you're dehydrated. I also find that smelling a nice scent wakes me up, it sounds weird but I love smelling the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in the morning aha, I find it quite refreshing. Lastly, taking deep breaths helps I find.

9) Your favourite thing about blogging?

Just being able to express my feelings and thoughts through this, its kinda like my diary. Reading comments also makes me so happy, nothing feels better than when you put hard work into a blog and people actually take time out of their day to read it and comment. I'm very grateful for every comment I get!

10) Your best beauty tip?

Just do whatever you feel comfortable doing and don't be pressured to look a certain way just because everyone else surrounding you looks that way. Uniqueness = Beauty. Also I know this is such a cliche, but smiling really is more powerful than makeup! When you're smiling, you look happy and confident, and when you're happy, you're beautiful. I love this quote by Audrey Hepburn- " Happy girls are the prettiest". Even if you don't feel confident, smile and you never know who'll be intrigued by your smile. 

I tag the following bloggers: 

Bex from http://www.bubblyb.co.uk/

Sammy from http://www.blue-bow.co.uk/

Here are my Ray of Sunshine questions!

1) What inspired you to make a blog?

2) Which makeup item can you not go a day without wearing?

3) If you could be any celebrity for a day who would you be?

4) What would be your dream job?

5) Is there anything you would change about your blog if you could?

Whats in my school bag?

My School Bag

I got this inspiration from many Youtubers and thought, why not do one on my blog?
Here's basically whats in my school bag...

My school bag: This is from New Look and tbh I cant remember how much it was, haha. But it wasn't too pricey! This is great for school as its a convenient size and I just really like the style of it, it comes with a strap so you can wear it across your shoulder as well.

Lets take a look inside!

 First I have my pen and pencil.. essential for school so this ones pretty obvious haha.
These are just standard and cheap, nothing special.

Next I have my umbrella which I ALWAYS carry with me as, living in sunny England, I need it quite frequently. I've had this for ages so I cant remember where I got it from but it doesn't really matter I guess. 

I now have (probably the most exciting thing in this post) what is it? Its a Tesco carrier bag! Wooo! This is so exciting I know, I just always need one particularly for when my umbrella is wet so I can pop it into this afterwards so it doesn't get the inside of my bag wet. Fun.

Following with a packet of tissues!

My small makeup bag..

And inside that makeup bag I have..

My amazing balmi lip balm, this is the mint one.

My hand cream which I have reviewed in a previous post.

          

The natural collection body spray (that's nearly empty, eek!)

          

A standard hair band as you never know when you're going to need one!

             

Now moving onto outside of my makeup bag, I have a half eaten packet of polo mints.. nice

             

A calculator- Remember.. maths is cool kidz!

                                                           

Lastly, a ruler.. with a lot of cracks in it. Its getting old.

           

And that is all that's in my school bag, pretty boring post but I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading :) Comment/ Follow, all that jazz!

Autumn/Fall style!

Hello October!

We're a little bit of a way into October now, and I wanted to do this sooner but I didn't have time, so sorry that I'm a bit late!

Anyways, October is one of my favourite months! Everything gets darker, colder and cozier. In this post I'm going to show you a few Autumn styles you can wear/try this month!

Makeup: Deep red/purple lips have Autumn written all over! I really love this lip colour with hardly anything on the eyes as that would be too much. I understand not everyone will feel comfortable wearing this. Give it a try though!

 Or if the top picture is too dark for you, why not dry a deeper red than you'd usually go for, this gives an Autumn feel to your look as well.

Nail polish: I think that dark teal is such a nice colour for Autumn!

It also goes with a lot of outfits. Or if you don't like this colour you could also try some nice browns, deep reds, purples or blacks.

Clothing: Now if this jumper doesn't scream Halloween I don't know what does, (pun intended) I love this jumper so much, I just think it looks so adorable! Its available from New Look for £22.99

 I also really like this dress which is also from New Look, I love the colour and I think its a good casual dress which you could wear with tights and a nice pair of boots. You could even put a cardigan over it if its chilly. This is also £22.99.. weird coincidence.

For shoes I think a pair of brogues or ankle boots would be suitable and stylish. 

Bags: I understand that this is not for everyone but how cute is this bird bag from Next?! This bag would be suitable for pretty much anything you like and its super autumn/wintery. This bag is £28.

However, if you're looking for something a bit more plain and mature, this monochrome bag also from next is the one for you! Its super sleek and I really like the mixture of neutral colours. This bag is a bit more expensive at £32.

 As always thanks for reading! Comment what you thought of this post, reading your comments makes my day! Follow me on here/bloglovin/Twitter too please!

Have a great Autumn :)

BURT'S BEES

Burt's bees lip balm review-

I've had this product for a while now and have loved it ever since I layed eyes on it! I have the original plain one and it has lasted me ages! I think next time I buy one I will get a different flavor/tint but I'll have to wait and see. 

I put this on before I go to bed and I wake up still feeling like I've got some left on my lips! However, my lips get quite flaky sometimes and this doesn't really help with the flakiness but it makes everywhere else smooth and soft. I do still like it though as it has a tingling effect, which can sometimes feel like its burning, especially if my lips are really sore and chapped but I don't mind it as it proves that its working, it also smells really nice and leaves a matte finish on the lips once applied, so its good if you're the type of person that doesn't want it to be obvious that you're wearing a lip product. Maybe if you're in school or if you're a bloke, haha. 

In my opinion this balm is a bit overpriced for what it 

is but still isnt too expensive! And you can get it in any drugstore. 

As usual thanks for reading! Id love to hear your thoughts on this product, or if you're thinking of getting it.  Follow my bloglovin/Twitter too if you will :) 

"Friends"

Friends

No, I'm not talking about the TV series, I'm talking about real life friends. The ones who come, the ones who go, and the ones who you're not sure about. 

In the past I've never really had more than 1 best friend, like I've had other friends as well as my best friend, but never had more than one person who I can call my best friend, as its very rare to find more I feel. I don't like to give the title to someone who's not as close to me as they could be, so whats the point in lying about it? 

Its hard to find people you can trust, especially if you're in high school. As there are popular people, the not so popular people, bitchy people, the two faced people, the wanna be populars etc, the list could go on... 

Its hard to find which category you fit into, and the people you'd like to spend time with. 

Even when you think you're close to someone and you think they're the loveliest person ever, they turn on you. Maybe because of a certain rumor about you they've heard that may or may not be true, or they just get tired of you and move onto others. Its sad but its true, it happens to us all. I try to see it as a positive thing and think that person was obviously not meant to be in my life, let them go into someone else's. 

In your group of friends, there can be people you're very close to, and people you're not so close to. This can be very confusing and can make some situations awkward, like if you want to invite people over to your house but you're not sure whether to invite the ones you're not as close to. As you're not sure where you stand with them. They kinda just hang around with you because they're closer to a certain person or 2 in your group. Of course you can try and become closer to them, but sometimes they just don't put the same amount of effort in.

Recently I've gone through situations where I've told people who I thought were my best friends secrets, and they've told others. This made me lose all trust in them and most people in general, there is only one friend I have that I can tell anything to and I know they will be loyal. This can make me seem like a really secretive and reserved person, and I get judged for it. But honestly I just don't want to get hurt again, some people just don't understand I guess. 

If you're in a sticky situation with a friend but don't have anyone to confind in and seek advice, I'm always here if anyone needs me, even though I don't know you personally, I'll be happy to help. As I know how alone and anxious "friends" can make you feel. Just message me on my Twitter @geeeboo if you need me. 

This is quite random but I thought this would be good to lighten the mood, I assume it goes with the topic.. haha enjoy

September Favs

September Favourites!

The following are all of the stuff I have been loving over the past month! Hope you enjoy :)

1) CANDY CRUSH- I downloaded this because of all the hype about it, my family members are always playing it so I thought I'd check it out, and since then I was hooked. Its just a really fun, addictive game! Download it if you're bored for hours of excitingness.

2) BABY LIPS- Again, after hearing all the good reviews about these, I had to buy them, especially as they were only £2.99 each in Superdrug. They smell absolutely amazing! I cant describe it very well but they smell very artificial and sweet and they remind me of smells from my childhood which is why I love them! They glide onto the lips so smoothly and have a nice pop of colour (tinted ones) also containing SPF 20, they claim to have like 8 hours moisturization which I have to say I don't agree with, but overall its a really good lip balm for such a cheap price!

3) ALONG CAME BETTY HAND CREAM- I recently got this as a gift so I'm not sure how much it was but I'm sure it wasn't pricey! The smell of this is so amazing, it smells very similar to soap and glory, so if you're a fan of that, you'll love this. It absorbs into the skin really nicely and doesn't feel greasy afterwards, whilst leaving my hands feeling soft and supple. I also like the fact that there's a lot of product in it so it will last a while!

4) BROWN PENCIL EYELINER (IN GENERAL)- This is just brown eyeliner in general, I have a few brown eyeliner pencils and don't really have a favourite between them, as brown pencil eyeliner is just brown pencil eyeliner to me. I love how soft and warm it looks when smudged into the lash line, I've started to wear it almost every day as I feel its very autumny and goes with everything! 

5) ARIANA GRANDE'S MUSIC- I've always liked Ariana and her music, but lately I've kinda become obsessed. I don't know if you've heard her music but you should really check out her new album Yours Truly. You wont regret it. This is my favourite song of hers at the moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jplsfg2IgAE I literally can't get enough!

Thanks so much for reading! Hope you've had a good september :) Comment your favourites and follow on here/ bloglovin/ Twitter if you please?
