Get Up And Out

HI! So, I guess this could count as a new thing...I went to see the new Starwars the other day, so I thought I'd give my opinion on it :) It was actually really, really good. Now, keep in mind, I'm not the biggest Starwars fan. I mean, I enjoy the movies and think they're good...but when you're made to watch the six other starwars movies in the couple weeks leading up to the release of the new one...well let's just say, you're likely to bail after the fifth, because it's 10 hours of the similar plot, over and over and over. I don't want anyone to take offence to this though, as it's just my opinion...but yeah. So I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually really, really good! We saw it in 3D...I could have done without the 3D part, as it was a bit distracting from the action when planes were zooming out from behind you...but I guess that helped with the intensity. Many of the original characters and actors were back, which was super cool.  ...

HI! So a few days ago, I went Boxing Day shopping for the first time. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was actually quite fun. I've put together some tips and tricks for next year, from both seasoned shoppers and beginners, to help you (and the future me) navigate Boxing Day like a pro. 1) Do your research. Find a few stores you for sure want to hit, and make them a priority. Find out when they open, and what sales they have, beforehand. Then, you're prepared. 2) Either go really early (as in 6am, if that's when the store opens) or really late (as in 12 or 1 in the afternoon). That way you'll miss the crowds, and won't have to wait in line. 3) If you're going to wait in line, make sure the sale is worth it. If the item is really expensive, and the sale is 5% or even 10% off, it might not be worth the wait, especially if the line is 2 hours long. However, if the item is really expensive, and it's, say, 70% off, plus another free item.....

Hi guys!!! So...this is a post about my favourite movies. As a side note, I went to see the new starwars movie today with my family, so look out for a review on that! I'll probably put one up sometime soon. The holidays have been super busy for me, so I haven't gotten much time to write, unfortunately. However, I've seen quite a few movies with various people over my holiday, so I decided that a cool post for today would be my favourite movies. Now, this will be difficult for me, as I've seen and watched so many, but I'm going to try my best. Okay, here goes: 1) The entire Harry Potter series. Okay, I know what you're thinking. C'mon, Iris, really? A series? You said top ten MOVIES not SERIES. I know, I know. But there are 8 movies and that would take up 8 spots, and I have many more movies that I enjoy. Therefore this will count as one. And if you don't like this series...shame on you. Haha, if you couldn't tell, I'm a MAJOR fan of the har...

So, this isn't a post about something new...but it's just a fun one. So for today, I'm going to list the top ten things that make happy, no matter what mood I'm in! 1) Being with friends/family. Even just talking with them usually gets me in a good mood pretty quickly. I forget about my problems and just lose myself in the conversation. 2) Reading a book. Now I know for some people this won't work, but for me it does. It always has, I guess 'cause I can just forget about what I was upset about and just lose myself in the book. Just make sure that the book isn't going to make you cry, 'cause that doesn't really improve your mood. 3) Listening to music. This usually does the same as books for me. Singing along usually makes it even better :-) 4) Being with my cat. Her purr could make anyone's day ten times better, so cuddling with her definitely helps. 5) Playing music. I play guitar, piano, and cla...

Hey guys! So, I haven't posted in a REALLY long time...almost 3 months!...and I feel really bad about that. Is anyone even going to read this, since I haven't posted in so long? To anyone who does, THANK YOU!!! You're the best. Seriously. I haven't really been trying many new things, mostly just been going through the routine. Which is kinda bad...so I'll try to find more new things...but I think I'll also do a few other posts, about lifestyle and just life in general, things like that. So this will still be a blog about trying new things, but I'll post other things as well, so that I can post more often. An update on field hockey: the season is over now, but it was actually super fun. I really enjoyed it and want to do it again next year! I just have to get a little bit better...since I was NOT the best player on the team by far. I was probably one of the worst but you know what? It's okay. It was still fun, and that's what counts. I even got to h...
