Get Up And Out

HELLO!! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. :/ I meant to, but I'm here now, so that's what counts, right? :) Anyways. I've been reading much more recently, and this last book really hit me hard. So I thought I'd pop on here and do a quick review of it. *Warning - may contain spoilers* (I tried not to though). Sarah Dessen is one of my favourite authors to begin with. I love (and own) quite a few of her books. I was recently at the library, and borrowed like 4 or 5 more, and this last one - Dreamland - I finished the other night. Oh, man. First, I need to say, that at the start, I wasn't so sure about this particular book. A few chapters in, I wasn't all that into it. Probably had something to do with the fact that I couldn't really relate to the character. If I didn't want to become a cheerleader, chances are I probably wouldn't. But this character - Caitlin - let herself be pressured into it by her best friend. Yes, I get it. You're consta...

Guess who's back? Back again? Iris is back! Tell a friend! (Lowkey had to look up the rest of the lyrics cause I didn't even know what the song was called. Solid. Google had my back on that one!) But yeah! If you couldn't tell, I'M BACK! ON SUMMER VACAY YO! I'm honestly so excited. This summer is gunna be fun, productive, and amazing! Part of why I am so excited is that I am finally in control of my life, and it's a great feeling. I'll spare you all the details, but basically there were certain courses that I was mandated to take but I didn't find interesting, and I really struggled in them, meaning they took up a LOT of my time in order to do well. However, I put in the time, so that next year, I am able to take only the courses I want to take, and am genuinely interested in. I am SO pumped, you have no idea. So now, I feel much more in control of my life. BUT ANYWAYS. That's not the point of this post. Today I wanted to talk to you all abou...

Hey guys. So, as I'm sure you have realized, though I have been trying to keep up with posts, it has been getting harder and harder as I get later into the school year - which is the busiest time. And so, I have decided to take a break from blogging - but don't worry, just till exams are over. I love blogging so, so much, but I just don't have time this next month and a half. I really need to focus and do well in these exams, and I decided that in the little spare time I have, reading is probably best, as it helps improve my vocabulary and knowledge for my english exam. I hope you all understand. I will be back as soon as my exams are done, and I have lots planned for the summer that I'd really like to do as well :) Hopefully the break will leave me feeling even more inspired and ready to rock this summer!! To all of you guys reading this, I'm really sorry, and also know that I love you all lots, thank you so much for reading my blog! I will be back and ...

HEEEY Y'ALL. Sorry I didn't post last week :((((( I'm trying to get better, I promise!  BUT ANYWAYS. For this week's post, I thought I'd do an exams post, with a little harry potter theme (cause who doesn't love HP? And I've been rereading them lol). So, without further ado, let's get into it!  1.   Start early!   Hermione literally always seems to be studying, or doing homework of some sort. And I mean, it clearly works for her. So if you're looking to do well, it's time to take a page out of her book (or rather, JK Rowling's... *insert smirking face*).  2. Speaking of books, read everything you can. She literally reads everything, and you should do the same! If that means your whole textbook, well, that'll only help you out. Remember that. And reading will help you become a better writer, to boot!   3.  Don't lower your standards for yourself, rather, raise them. Hermione never expected less than perfection from ...

HELLOOOOOO! I am in such a good mood rn!! It's great!! Cause guys. I've come to the realization... LIFE IS FREAKING AMAZING, AND WE CAN LITERALLY DO WHATEVER WE WANT. I knew it before, but I didn't REALLY know, if ya know what I'm saying. I was scrolling through the internet and doing homework, when I came across a series of tweets from Grayson Dolan (him and his twin brother make videos and are hilarious and awesome, check 'em out on youtube !), and one of them said "the best part of life is that you can literally do whatever you want. Some things may take time but you're in control." And I was just like OMG TRUEEE. So yeah, I'm super hyped right now. ANYWAYS THAT'S NOT EVEN THE POINT. I just thought I'd share it with you all haha. So last post, I gave you guys a few options, and a few of you responded (THANKS GUYS :D) so I thought I'd combine some! It's gunna be a Q&A/Chatty What's In My Bag!! So let's g...

HEY peeps! So...it's finally starting to be spring! It's actually supposed to be somewhat warm sometime this week, so I am PUMPED for that :)))) Also, sorry I didn't get this up yesterday :/ I meant to but I didn't finish it in time unfortunately :( It's up now though! Here is a quality (or nah) pic of an orchid for y'all haha. I took this about 3 sec ago. Sweet. HELLO, SPRING! Anyways, in honour of spring, I thought I'd do a post on my spring goals for 2017!! So here we gooo!! 1. Drink more water. Whenever I don't drink enough water, I usually feel awful and sick after, and so I'd like to drink more water to feel better and healthier throughout the days :) Steps? I'll do this by making sure I pack a water bottle everyday in my bag as well as my tea, and refilling it at least 2 times a day! 2. Get outside more. The weather is so nice in the spring. I went for a walk the other day and it was sooo nice out, I was just like "w...

HEEY. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!! :) So, I am so sorry I didn't post last week or yesterday :( I just got really busy, and I know, I'm on spring break, but we had a bunch of stuff planned!! So I didn't get to post what I wanted to :( ALSO. You may have noticed that my layout is different. WELL. I have been wanting a change for awhile, and this one came along and I was like OMG THIS IS AMAZING. It looks so cool! So I immediately wanted it for my blog. I'm still configuring it, so please give me any feedback you may have! Do you like this layout? Or my old one better? And how can I make it better? Any feedback would be much appreciated :) NOW. On with the post :) So, I would like to thank the lovely #sweettreats for nominating me for the "One Lovely Blogger" award! I'm honoured, and super excited, to do this!! They have an amazing blog, which I love scrolling through, and their posts usually involve lots of delicious treats! I would definitely recommen...
