I AM BACK!! (Or Bach, cause I'm punny)

-
HAIIIII GUYS!!!! I am finally back. I know I kind of ditched you all in the middle of my Italy trip, and I am so sorry. We had a few full day trips and I was just way too tired after those to write up any posts. And then after the trip I got super busy, but now I am officially...Bach. Hehhe. I'll try and get around to finishing up the Italy diaries at some point, but for now...THE BLOG GOES ON.

Okay. So for this post I'm listing 10 things I want to try this summer!!!

1) learn how to cook. This would be so helpful, considering I get hungry a lot, and I've been meaning to for awhile. 

2) go for more regular runs and workouts. I need to get into better shape if I want to make sports teams this year! There's a gym near me that I've gone to once with a friend, so I think I'll try to go more regularly. 

3) learn a song by one direction by heart on the piano. This way I have a song that I can just pull out if I'm ever with friends and a piano!! So fun. Plus I love the songs. I just got the Made In The AM piano/guitar/vocal book and OMG I LOVE IT. If I Could Fly or Long Way Down are probably my faves to play so far. 

4) learn more makeup techniques amd that kind of thing, considering I am horrible at it. I can only do the basic science so I want to expand my knowledge!

5) keep learning more on guitar, like different chords. I only know the basic chords right now, but I want to learn more because I really enjoy it. So this is definitely on the list.

6) learn how to sing better. This one I've been meaning to do for awhile, cause my voice is quite out of tune. I'm hoping to take singing lessons at some point though!

7) learn a new instrument. Okay yes, I know this is like my fourth one about music, but what can I say? I love music! And I think it'd be super cool to learn yet another instrument :)

8) learn to write something new (like a new genre). This sounds exciting, something like horror maybe. Except only in the day, so that I don't scare the heck outta myself at night :P

9) learn how to tell a joke in a new language. I think this might be fun, in Italian or something like that. Cause telling it would be so fun, especially since I'd be the only person who'd understand it! Or I could take people by surprise who actually speak the language.

10) learn how to do a cartwheel. Okay this one could take a loooong time, cause I have never been able to do one. They look more like frog hops. But where there's a will, there's a way, right? 😁👍🏽

Anyways, that's it from me!! What do you guys want to learn this summer? Have you mastered any of the skills I have put down to learn, or do you have any tips? Comment below!! 

Other than that...see ya!! Have a lovely day (or rest of it)!! Till next time!!

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!! You should definitely check out her blog as well. I

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! As a writer, I know that finding inspiration for my stories can be a bit tricky at times. When you need ideas, they never seem to come! In fact, it's a bit like automatic flushing toilets. I don't know how it is for everybody else (maybe it's just me!) but the toilets always seem to flush when you DON'T want them to, and at the most inopportune moments. But then, when you need them to flush, they never seem to work! It's a bit like finding inspiration because when you don't need to find it, it just comes to you! But then, when you have writer's block and you NEED that inspiration, it just disappears like it was never there in the first place. This is why I decided to create this blog: Get Up And Out. It's all about trying new things, and perhaps finding some inspiration along the way. Did you know that trying new things challenges your brain, and helps to prevent Alzheimer's? Plus, it can be super fun as well. I'll
