I recently stumbled upon Yes and Yes, a super positive and adventurous blog where Sarah is trying 30 new things before she’s 30. Rather inspired, I decided it’s a great idea for me try 26 new things before I turn 26! My birthday is September 8th so I’ve got no time to lose. This should be good for me, I’ve been far too much a creature of habit lately.
26 New Things
1. Become a strawberry blonde
2. Have a makeup lesson
3. Manicure and/or pedicure
4. Wear false eyelashes at a completely inappopriate (to me) time
5. Try aqua jogging
6. Have a personal training session
7. Do a headstand
8. Have a driving lesson
9. Go to yoga or dance class
10. Send ten letters to people I care about who are far away
11. Make something for people I care about who aren’t far away
12. Crochet something
14. Make a simple animation
15. Use the workshop at school
16. Go rollerskating
17. Interview someone & publish it on the blog
18. Go on a photo mission
19. Make french onion soup
20. Make fancy cupcakes without help
21. Clean out my closet
22. Read Norwegian Wood
23. Watch 5 Studio Ghibli films
24. Watch a Godard film with Anna Karina in it
25. Organise some kind of postal swap
26. Try one of the restaurants I’ve been meaning to try for ages
Extra for Experts
If I have the opportunity to shoot a gun, it can be swapped out for any entry! Same goes for horse riding, or a massage, which aren’t on the list mainly on account of expensiveness.
P.S.
Can you believe I’ve never been horseriding, had a manicure or massage or been to yoga? Crazy.
Oh I love number 10. You are going to have 10 very surprised happy friends out there :)
all those things are great!!
I wish my birthday was coming up so I could do it too :(
familiar image~!
Oh sorry! I couldn’t remember where I found it, I have a big file of balloon images. Will add credit. :)
Emma – of course you can do it too! You can make a more awesome list cos you have more time – or ten things to do before 2010! xx
Oh my god! Ok so when your up I can take you for a pedicure for your birthday :)
AND I will go to an aqua jogging and yoga class too if we have time
AND… I may be going to my parents place the weekend after your here… so you know what you can do there!!
owww you are so sweet! xxx
thank you sweet pea! xxx
What a fun list! I like 10, 11, 18 and 21… those are all things I’d like to do myself. I should make a 28 before 28 list, but as I’m turning 28 tomorrow, I’m out of time already (unless the list is eat 28 pieces of candy…). Maybe I’ll do a super-ambitious 29 before 29 list instead.
I have a list!
Also, I used to go aqua jogging all the time, and I just bought new togs, so if you would like we could do a pool date!
yay, you will be able to cross off manicure/pedicure soon :)
