30 BEFORE 30

OK SO I turned 27 last month & I keep getting the whole ‘you’re pretty much 30’ thing. I’d rather not have my age rounded up. I wanna be 27 while I’m 27, ya know, kinda like living in the moment, except it’s living in the year lol. SO I thought I’d put together a list of the things I wanna do BEFORE I’m 30, cuz I’m not there quite yet, my 30 before 30.

1. HAVE A SIGNATURE SCENT
   • I just think it sounds so mature? And I like the thought of someone smelling a certain scent & thinking of me.
2. NOT GET CARDED FOR GINGER BEER
   • it’s not even alcoholic…it’s soda…
3. PUBLISH AN E-BOOK
   • I’m working on some stuff right now, so here’s hoping.
4. LIVE IN AN AIRBNB IN ENGLAND FOR A MONTH
   • Or if anyone wants to lend me their couch, I’m down for that too.
5. PUT MORE TIME INTO DECORATING
   • I feel like it’s definitely a work-in-progress type thing & I just wanna get better at making my space look really pretty & cohesive.
6. GET A DOG
   • Gotta wait till we move cuz where we live right now doesn’t allow dogs.
7. TASTE THE BEST CHEESEBURGER I’VE EVER HAD
   • You know that How I Met Your Mother episode where Marshall goes to like 700 burger joints looking for the best burger he’s ever had? I want a burger like that.
8. TRAVEL MORE
   • Just in general, idk, more long weekend trips & what-not.
9. GET BETTER AT COOKING
   • I’m learning lol, but in 3 years I’d like to be more confident in the kitchen.
10. VISIT AN OLD HAUNTED INSANE ASYLUM
    • This is something I’ve always been interested in, old insane asylums were, well, really insane.
11. READ MORE BOOKS
    • I’ve been reading the same 5 books for so long now, gotta get better at making time to read (& actually finish) books.
12. GO SWIMMING IN THE PACIFIC
    • AKA go to California.
13. SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
    • Aurora borealis it’s called, right? Gotta see those pretty lights.
14. SWIM WITH SHARKS
    • I wanna go in one of those cages & see all the hauntingly beautiful sharks up close & personal.
15. GET GOOD AT PAIRING WINE WITH FOOD
    • I feel like this is such a useful dinner party trick.
16. TAKE MORE SUNSET PICTURES
    • I take quite a few of these already lol, but you can never have too many.
17. IT WOULD BE COOL IF LEIGHANN WATCHED MY VIDEO
    • I filmed a video where I tried to follow a leighannsays makeup tutorial & it would be really cool if she ever watched it.
18. CONTINUE WEARING WHATEVER I WANT
    • I like to switch it up with my outfits. Crazy how much impact my outfit has on my mood & I hope I’m still wearing weird outfits.
19. PAINT A MURAL IN MY LIVING SPACE
    • I love murals, walls looks so much prettier when they’re painted.
20. KEEP IMPROVING MY EDITING SKILLS
    • I’ve really been loving filming & editing videos for youtube & I’d love to keep improving on those skills so I can make cool stuff.
21. ON THE SAME NOTE, EDITING PICTURES
    • Right now I mostly use VSCO, but I’d love to be good at like photoshop & stuff.
22. TRY FOLLOWING A VEGETARIAN DIET
    • I’ve always been really intrigued by it & I just would like to give it a try.
23. GO ZIPLINING
    • It looks like so much fun & such a cool view!
24. DONATE MORE
    • I donate when I can & when charities come along. I just bought a crewneck from the buddy project for their campaign, but I’d like to be able to donate more regularly.
25. CONTINUE SAVING
    • I’ve always been really good with my money. Growing up my parents would have my brother & I put a certain amount of our birthday money in our bank accounts & that definitely shaped my spending habits.
26. BATHE AN ELEPHANT
