My Fitness Routine 2017

Image
HEY!! So, I am back with another routine :) I've been establishing them as of late, so I decided to post 'em all! I've been trying my best to workout everyday, and I came up with a quick one that I have been doing. So feel free to try it out, if you like, and let me know how you did! Also, leave any tips and comments down below, let's help each other get FIT! Here's an inspirational pic I found on pinterest to get started :) So first, I put on the music, and put up my hair. I have a pump up playlist, and so I just press play on it, and then I'm off to the races! My first exercise is the stairs. I have a set of stairs that goes down to the basement, so I go up and down them four times (up and down = one time), doing 10 jumping jacks at the end. Then I repeat that three more times. It's actually pretty tiring, but with perseverance and the right music I do believe that you can do it!! :) Just don't think, and focus on the music. Then, I go i...

My Evening Study Routine

Image
Hey folks!! Today, I thought I'd blog about my evening study routine, since, y'know, school's in full swing, as per usual. So here goes!! When I get home, I usually go on my phone for a few minutes, check and respond to emails, texts, snapchats, and all that stuff for the night. Five or ten minutes is enough, and then I'm (hopefully) off for the rest of the night. After, I'll get settled in, make myself a cup of tea, get my planner out and see everything that I have to get done. Recently, I've also loved watching a youtube video on school/life tips or inspiration before I start on work, cause it just gets me in the mood, y'know? A tip I've found recently (that I have been using) about planning is to only write down what you know you're going to get done that night. That way everything you write down, you know for sure that you have to get it done. Doesn't leave any room for slacking, which is good :) Then, I'll fire up a Spotify pla...

My Morning Routine

HEYO! I'm in such a good mood today. I came home and went for a walk with my mum and talked her ear off, haha. I'm really energetic for some strange reason, and I haven't even had any sugar OR caffeine today (not that I usually have caffeine lol). BUT I'M NOT QUESTIONING IT. I like feeling like this, it's that I CAN AND WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (all caps cause I'm in a good mood and I would probs yell it if I said it tbh) feeling, y'know what I'm sayin'? So if I fool around more in this post, well, just be forewarned :) Also, I'm really late with this post and I'm really sorry! I was just not going to do a post this week since it's so late but I thought, eh, why not, since I have some free time. So this week, honestly, has been one of the best ones of my life. I'm not sure if there's a particular reason, but I've just been happier, and been taking charge of my life more, I guess. And I'm just gunna say, I owe it all (wel...

The World Has Gone Crazy - But You Don't Have To

Image
Hey peeps!! I'm late again, and I'm so sorry. Too much hw :( I'm just gunna get right into this post though. Enjoy :) It seems like the world has gone, for lack of a better term, crazy. And it also seems like there isn't much we can do it but hope it doesn't get worse. But we actually CAN help. Small steps add up to a lot. And that's what I want to talk about in today's post - ways you can make a difference in your own life, to better benefit the world. Not all hope is lost, guys :) 1. Stay Positive. This may seem small, but it can make all the difference in another person's life. If you just offer them a smile, or a few encouraging words, it can be the thing that gets them through the day. There's this quote I've been loving recently: Smiles are contagious. So go out and infect everyone you can!  I love this, because well, it's true. If someone smiles at me, that makes me happy no matter what mood I'm in. They are contagious - bu...

We Were Liars | Book Review

Image
Hey guys!! How are you all? My week was crazy. I was busy and sick this past week...let's hope that's all over soon though. I had to bail on a lot in order to get better, and I felt super bad about that...but I needed that time off to recover. There's a sickness going around right now, I don't know if any of you have caught it, but most people I know have been sick unfortunately...including me :( I'm feeling much better now, though! Song Of The Day: Ours (by Taylor Swift) - GO LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE. It's so good. It's catchy, happy, and puts me in an all around good mood. Anyways. I was at the library after school one day doing homework and all of a sudden I was like "OMG. I'm in a library, I should check out some books!" And my friend was like "LOL okay go ahead, you should"... so I did. I finished the first one Friday night. It was so good oh my goodness. It's called "We Were Liars" and it's about this gi...

Guest Post | Paige

  Hello everybody, and welcome to Iris’s blog. You’re probably thinking, “Who the heck is writing right now?” Well my name is Paige and I run the blog called ‘Building My Throne’. This week Iris and I decided it would be fun to do a guest appearance on each other’s blogs! Here are some facts about me before I start writing 1.)   I have only been blogging for about a year and a half 2.)   I live in Canada (yes it’s freezing) 3.)   I ride horses 4.)   I’m pretty short 5.)   I’m in my second year of college (studying journalism) 6.)   I like to end lists on an even number I have thought this whole week about what I wanted to write about for this blog post, but nothing was coming to my mind but recently I have become addicted to thinking about the concept of the world. So I thought, why not write about that?             Right now I’m at the age where I’ve been in school ...

How To: Stay Motivated In The Winter Months

Image
Heeey y'all. Sorry I'm late again :/ I always think I'll have time to post on the weekends but I always have too much homework D: I have a little time now though, so I thought I'd try and post :) It's that time of year. It's dreary, dark, wet/snowy (depending on where you live I guess haha), and it seems to be a common theme, to lose inspiration during winter. BUT NO MORE!!! For I have come to you with 7 tips on staying inspired throughout winter!!! SO LEGGO!!! :) 1. Set goals. If you have something to work towards, I think it's much easier to get through these months. But even better, set goals that make you excited to get up in the morning. And write them down!! I'm going to do that right now in fact - and you should too. Scroll down to the comments and put 'em in, we can support each other in our endeavours to reach our full potential :) Okay so for the winter (so from now - January - until, like, March) my ...
