30 Before 30


Today marks the official countdown to 30...two years to be exact! I am not one of those girls who's dreading the event, but rather someone who is looking forward to it - if nothing else than for a big bash (hint, hint, friends). In my many blog readings over the past few years, one of the things I've most enjoyed reading are lists like Mackenzie's & Jess's - lists of things that are both dreams and goals, but lists that are most of all, accomplishable. I am sure there are many things I could include on this list, but these are the things that came to me. So, without further adieu, I present my 30 before 30 list:

Professional
Finish my specialist degree
Present at a Regional or National Conference
Become Google certified 
Blogging
Take a photography class
Get a professional headshot
 Take a photoshop class
Consistently blog 5 times/week
Attend a blog conference
Meet & have a drink, coffee, meal, or activity with 5 bloggers (2/5 - Sara & Jenn)
Partner with a brand I love
Style
Speak with and learn from a personal stylist
Find a red lipstick
Invest in one, timeless, quality bag
Add three of the classics to my wardrobe (guides here, here, & here)  
Personal 
Decorate a room from start to finish by myself
Take a cooking class
Attend a foreign film
Bake a Southern Living Christmas Cake
Visit 5 new destinations
Buy a piece of real art
Learn how to play tennis
Have my writing published in at least two publications
Go to see a movie alone
Learn how to bake a pie, crust to finish
Go to the ballet 
Plan a dinner party
Go on a girls weekend trip with my best friends (can you believe we've never done this?!)
Host a holiday meal
Pay for someone else's toll
Put $10 in savings for every goal accomplished (stole this one, but I love it)

  2. This is such a good idea! I still have a few extra years before 30, but it's always good to plan ahead. Hope you have a great birthday!

    These are some really awesome goals! As for red lipstick, you should try Ruby Woo from MAC. It's a really awesome shade of red. I always get compliments on it!
