My 27th Birthday Bucket List!

 

Some of us have an internal bucket list we occasionally think about around birthdays and New Years. Often I find writing them down is a good start to actually accomplishing them, but having a deadline even more actionable. So this year, as I’m on the subway commuting to a meeting I’m reflecting on what my heart is yearning to check off it’s bucket list in this next year & sharing it with you!

MY 27TH BIRTHDAY BUCKET LIST!

  1. Take more risks when it comes to my career

  2. Travel to Asia! Thinking Tokyo & Manila… I feel such a strong urge for a backpacking adventure

  3. Try a Squatty Potty & see if it works 🙊

  4. Learn how to contour & “bake” my makeup

  5. Read the Crazy Rich Asians Book Series

  6. Go camping. And when I say camping… I mean sleep in a cabin with plumbing and enjoy a controlled bonfire 😝

  7. Find better health insurance

  8. Perform in the New York Subway and leave a hat out.. I’d donate any money I collected of course

  9. Get really good at baking

  10. Work out at Barry’s bootcamp weekly… especially after all of the baking 👆🏻

  11. Get family or friends together to play some spontaneous outdoor football

  12. Plan some blindfolded surprise for Nick

  13. Volunteer at least four Saturdays this summer at Harlem Grown again

  14. Actually use my packing cubes when I travel… instead of letting them collect dust & packing an a hour before a trip

  15. Plan a sibling weekend with Nick’s sisters and another with my brother

  16. Help dad achieve his dream of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro

  17. Guess I’m climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro 🙈

  18. Be a more consistent blogger. Every first of the month do a surprise coffee giveaway as a thank you

  19. Make a friend in New York that speaks German

  20. Practice German with your new friend so you don’t lose it

  21. Join a soccer league in Dumbo for one season

  22. Say, “YES” more often to going out! You’ll never be this free of responsibilities as this chapter right now

  23. Be more compromising with Nick and his feelings about social media

  24. Spontaneous solo trip… like you used to do

  25. Hand up your coat & put away your purse when you get home everyday… a habit of neatness

  26. Run in the BOSTON MARATHON… and cry the whole way (since I was in Boston in 2013… would mean a lot)

  27. Tell your family and friends more often how much you love them

purse | little black dress | boots
