30 things to do before I’m 30!


In honour and recognition of turning 29 recently, I've created a list of 30 things I would like to do before I turn 30 this December. Everything I chose is something I’ve either never done before, or is something I haven’t done as a child and so have no recollection of doing it!I wanted the list to be achievable, but not something that I could complete in a week.

I decided to add the list here mostly so that I can hold myself accountable, but also I know that I’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment if this time next year I can submit another post that says “I did all 30 of the things I wanted to do!”


  1. Make a pair of earrings

  2. Create a self portrait

  3. Marry myself (I’ve been desperate to do this for so long. I want it to feel like the ultimate ‘self-love’ act and I can’t wait to take it far too seriously)

  4. Make an item of clothing

  5. Grow a food

  6. Take part in an Open mic poetry event

  7. Dye my hair green

  8. Make bread from scratch 

  9. Get matching tattoos with my brother & sister

  10. Up-cycle a piece of furniture

  11. Make a book nook

  12. Ride an electric scooter

  13. Win on an arcade claw machine

  14. Volunteer

  15. Make fresh juice

  16. Go to a hairdressers (my mum/auntie are both hairdressers so I’ve never needed to go to an actual salon!)

  17. Hold a sparkler

  18. Try red wine

  19. Get a new piercing

  20. Watch Jurassic park

  21. Wear lipstick

  22. Have a slumber party

  23. Paint my bedroom

  24. Go down a water slide

  25. Get a massage

  26. Read Dracula 

  27. Go on a writers retreat

  28. Try a glass of squash 

  29. Ride an electric scooter

  30. Try a Bloody Mary


The countdown has begun, wish me luck!
