This year I say good bye to my 20s and I don't feel ready for it at all. My 20s have brought me the happiest times of my life so far - I met and married my sweetheart, we have created a home together and I have my 2 babes to be thankful for. However, I do feel I missed out on other things. Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets but perhaps I would have done a little restructuring with my timings.
So, 207 days of being a 20 something lady left and it is about time I embrace this and have a little fun along the way. I have set my self a '30 before 30' challenge - I am also not completely deluded, I have set more realistic goals, that are just a bit of fun. There was no point saying I would do a bungee jump or climb Kilimanjaro (i'll save them for 40...). I have cheated - but only slightly, numbers 20-22 were such big things before 30 that they count.
- Say hello and meet my best friends baby, she is due in October
- Choose a Tattoo and actually go through with it
- Visit NewYork - (half way there - it is booked)
- Have a private reading with a Psychic
- Take a photo a day from now until then and keep a log of them
- Read a book a month (starting tomorrow, suggestions for the first one please?)
- Reach 1500 Blog followers (would be amazing)
- Give up carbs for 30 days
- Try Cristal champagne
- Lose a stone (at least.. 30 also brings 2 sets of bridesmaids duties)
- Own a designer handbag
- Eat a Bagel outside the Tiffany flag ship store
- Join the Anthony Nolan Register
- Have High Tea
- No meat for 30 days
- Give Blood
- Join the local Church
- Buy a large jigsaw and do it
- Watch the God Father Collection
Get marriedStart a familyBuy a House- Be amazed
- Choose a signature lip stick and perfume.
- Hand write a letter to a friend
- Love and accept my body (that depends on nos 8.10)
- Find out my correct bra size
- Take up a form of sewing and have evidence of completed work
- Buy Roller Blades and use them
- Realise that life really does begin at 30

Great idea, good luck! I think I am going to make a list like this too. I would definitely include in mine getting a tattoo, having a psychic reading and visit New York!xx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this list - you've got a such a wide range of wonderful things to do and achieve. I especially like 24 (to choose a signature lip colour and perfume - I need to do this to!) and 17 (join the local church) :)

Get the tattoo, girl! Just make it something meaningful. I have 4 and I love them all! But it's good to make a to-do list... helps keep things in perspective.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! And your blog rocks! Check mine out. Maybe we can follow each other :D

I have been wanting to do something like this for a while, but haven't actually sat down to write out the things I want to do. I think this is such a great idea, and you've inspired me to finally do it!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this - what a great list. I hope I do a lot of these things before I'm 30 too :) xx

My favorite is #13. I've always wanted to know what it's like to be hypnotized!! I'd have to have someone there I trust too, because you never know... such an inspiring list! I have only 2 years left before I turn 30, so I need to get cracking and making my own list now!
ReplyDeletesuch a fun post idea! my favourite is no 29! wish i could justify investing in rollerblades haha x
