Things That Make Me Happy

-
HEY Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! Ayyyy look who's posting on time!! MEEE!!!

So earlier today, I was mowing the lawn, jamming out to some music, when a post idea hit me: what makes me happy. 'Cause through all the stress in life, it's important to recognize that not all of it is bad, and there are many things that you can do to chill out, and be happy. Finding those little things that make you happy is a good thing to do, cause then you can do them more often!! SOO. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

1) Music!

Music is super important to my every day life, and no matter where I am, it comes too!! You can usually find me plugged in with my earbuds, listening to some of my favourite tunes. So I thought I'd list some of my fave artists, with my top 3 fave songs by them for each one!!

-ONE DIRECTION!!!
Fave songs: Through The Dark; I Want To Write You A Song; If I Could Fly

-T-SWIZZLE!!!
Fave Songs: Our Song; A Place In This World; Hey Stephen

-SHAWN MENDES!!!
Fave Songs: Patience; Believe; Show You

-THE PIANO GUYS!!!
Fave Songs: What Makes You Beautiful; Okay; A Thousand Years

-ED SHEERAN!!!
Fave Songs: You Need Me, I Don't Need You; The A Team; Lego House

-THE YOUNG DUBLINERS!!!Fave Songs: We The Mighty; The Leaving Of Liverpool; The Rocky Road To Dublin

-5 SECONDS OF SUMMER!!!
Fave Songs: San Fransisco; Permanent Vacation; Money

-BRETT KISSEL!!!
Fave Songs: Canadian Kid; I Didn't Fall In Love With Your Hair; I Can Play Guitar

-SCOTTY MCCREERY!!!
Fave Songs: Back On The Ground; Southern Belle; California Moon

AAND I COULD KEEP GOING BUT I'MA STOP RIGHT THERE OR ELSE THIS WOULD BE WAAAAY TOO LONG. (I mean it already is so cheers if you got this far!!)

OKAY. Now I'm just gunna list random things that make me happy!!

2) Blogging/The Blogging Community!!
Seriously, when I log onto my email and see that someone has posted a comment on my blog, I get so freaking excited and this warm feeling that someone cared enough to read and post!! So can I just say, a BIG WARM THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has ever read or posted a comment on my blog!! You guys rock. And you make my day, big time. Love you all <3 (BTW. If you ever want to collab or just get to know someone new, shoot me an email!! I LOVE talking and getting to know new people, so don't be shy, friend!! Email or comment, and our non-friendship will end!! :P)

3) Cuddly Things!
By this I mean, anything cozy. Scarfs, hats, mitts, big sweaters, blankets, curling up by the fire, cuddling with my cat, the list goes on!!

4) Friends/Family!!
When I hang with my friends, have good conversations with my family, or just fool around with them all in general, it really makes me happy. Just chatting with my friends (over text or in person) always makes me happy :)

5) Jamming Out!!
This ties into music, but jamming to music on my own time, just dancing to the beat - even though I can't dance!! It's just super fun and makes me super happy :D Jamming to music that I make as well. Like singing and playing the guitar?? MY FAVE. And singing and playing the piano!!

6) Making People Smile Or Laugh :)
This is a big one for me. When I smile at someone (which is like 24/7 lol) and they smile back, it cheers me up a whole lot. Or when I tell a joke and they laugh, or when I just say something and someone laughs, it just feels really nice, y'know? Like, THAT WAS ME!! I MADE YOU LAUGH!! or, I MADE YOU SMILE!! Even if I don't know them. It's still really nice.

That's it for today's post peeps!! How about you?? What makes you happy? Also, have you heard of/listened to any of the artists/songs I talked about? Comment down below! Thanks for reading, love you all!! Till next time!!

Love,

~Iris <3

    What a wonderful post idea! It's so important to take a step back and focus on the good because it's so easy to forget especially when you're under a lot of stress! I also share your love for cuddly things ! My girlfriends kitten is my salvation when I'm feeling down and another thing that makes me smile is seeing cute old couples because who doesn't love the idea that love lasts :)

    lots of love, Marianne xxx

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!!

  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

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
