Get Up And Out

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. ...

Hello hello!! So I know on my insta, I said I was going to do a school q&a...but since I forgot to put it in my last post, I got no questions lol. So that will be next week. Please leave any and all school/life questions below!! Or email them, or comment them on any of my insta pics :) I like to think I'm pretty good at giving advice. And if there's anything you want to know about me as well, you can leave those questions as well haha. ANYWAYS, without further ado, let's get into this post!! Here's how each family member of the Weasley family describes me.  1.  Love of food (Ron Weasley) Ron is practically in love with food, and honestly, same. Though I probably couldn't beat him in an eating competition, the love of food is still strong in this one :) 2.  Awkwardness (Ginny Weasley) I always laugh out loud at this scene with Ginny coming downstairs to see Harry sitting at the table. She stops mid sentence, and stares...

HELLOOOO!! How are you all? Okay so recently, this app, or website, Sarahah, has been going viral. I keep seeing snapstories of people linking them, and around the internet people responding to them, so I finally decided to look at it and see what it was. NO, I did not get one. I just looked it up on google haha. For those who don't know, Sarahah is this anonymous messaging app where, in their words, you can, at work, "enhance your areas of strength" and "strengthen areas for improvement" with feedback from your coworkers, and you can, in terms of friendship, "improve your friendship by discovering your strengths and areas for improvement" and "let your friends be honest with you". Now, see, here's my issue with that. WHY on EARTH do we need an anonymous messaging app to be honest????? Can't we just say what we want to say to people's faces? If you can't say something to someone's face, why is it okay to hide behind a ...

Hey guys! Happy Sunday :) So, as promised on my insta, here is a post about DIY notebooks! I made these ones since I was getting tired of the old ones, so I gave my current ones a revamp :D And you can too! So without further ado, let's get into it! 1. Find notebooks you can do this with. I used a standard moleskine blue planner, and some colourful duct tape for the first one. 2. Take the tape and scissors, and measure out strips as long as the notebook, and then stick them on. 3. Do this till it's completely covered (or at least as covered as you want it), and boom, your finished product is ready :) ****** AN OPTIONAL ADD ON: On my second notebook that I did, I included a quote. To do this: 1. Find a quote you really like. 2. Save it. 3. Drag and drop into a word document. 4. Readjust the size to fit your notebook. 5. Print it. 6. Tape it on. 7. BOOM BA DA BOOM, you're done! :)))) Here are some pics of my final products: That...

Hey hey hey! Happy Monday! I am so sorry I didn't get this up yesterday, that was always the plan, but then we had family over last minute, so that took up most of the afternoon. However, that's summer for ya! And we had a really nice time, so that was good :)  How have your summers been? So this week, I am back with a vlog! I went on a trip to the city of Ottawa, Canada, for a couple days, and I have officially uploaded the vlog on youtube :) Unfortunately, since I took some video with my phone, some of it is rotated around. BUT ANYWAYS, here it is: Overall, I would absolutely recommend going to Ottawa, if you can! I really enjoyed the trip! Have any of you been to Ottawa? What did you think/where did you visit? I would love to know, so leave a comment down below! Anyways, if you haven't followed me on insta yet, you can do that  @getupandoutblog !

Hey all! Sorry I didn't post this yesterday - I literally cleaned the entire day. We had brunch in the morning, got home around 12:30ish, and then from 1-11pm...I cleaned out my room. I'm redoing a little bit of it so I had to clean out those parts haha. If you guys want a room tour when I am finished, lmk in the comments!! I'm super excited for how it's going to look:) ANYWHO. When you're done reading this post, let me know your opinion in the comments below! I'd love to hear it. LET'S GET INTO IT! :))) For this post, I thought I'd share my thoughts with you on a certain word. This word is one that is widely used, and not for the right reasons. The word? Ugly. I don't particularly care for this word, as I feel it brings negative connotations to phrases where there shouldn't be any. I've been seeing it used a LOT lately, with hashtags such as #growingupugly, or #uglypeople. And these are POPULAR hashtags too! When we call people...
