Hey, hey!
What do Lucille Ball, Andy Warhol and I all have in common? All of us were born on this day! Today I turn 28. My little cousin was also born on this day, and I’m exactly 10 years older than her. I’ll be going to my best friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner in the evening. I’m not sure what other birthday celebrations are in store with my family and hubby, but I love celebrating birthdays!
In thinking about turning one year older, last month I came up with a list of things I want to do before I turn 30, and I wanted to share it with you today. Some of the things are very doable (i.e. make vegan smores over my fire pit) and some are going to be a little, shall we say, tougher to execute (i.e. see big cats in the wild and be part of a flashmob), but they are all things that I really think would be awesome to do! Here it is:
I made this list a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve since already done TWO of the things on here. I went on my very first food tour and also went standup paddleboarding for the first time, so I can check those off the list!
I’ve never made a bucket list before, but something prompted me to do one now. There’s something exciting about creating a list of fun things to do over the span of a few years. I’m not sure that I’ll be able to do them all, but I’ll hopefully be experiencing the vast majority of them. I’m sure I’ll be chatting about my bucket list progress on the blog moving forward. 🙂
Tell me.. Which of these things have you already done or do you really want to do as well?

Happy happy birthday lady!!! Hope you are having a fantastic day!! I love the idea of a bucket list (although I’ll be 31 in a few weeks … yikes! how’d that happen!?!) – so I’ll have to do for 35 or something! haha 🙂

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day 🙂
I had a similar list before I turned 30 and now I have an even bigger list before I turn 40.
You have to do stand up paddle boarding – it’s so much fun.

I now have tried SUP – it was quite an adventure in the Pacific Ocean! 😉
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Happy Birthday again!!! I love this list. If you want company for any of them, I’m down! I actually just told Vegas I wanted to take a pastry class.
foodielovesfitness says
Oooh we should totally do a pastry class together – that would be so fun!

Happy late birthday!!!
Ziplining and paddleboarding rare on my list too. I had bought some ziplining tickets off of Groupon last year, but everytime we went to go, it was raining, so we lost out… ;(
Food tours have been on my list for years now, and when you posted about it a little while ago, I started looking into them again. There are just so many different food tours!
Spa days are FABULOUS! And Girls on the Run is a great organization to volunteer with! 😉
foodielovesfitness says
I’ve heard that…. but too bad I hate running! 😉
Yea I think I’ll wind up ziplining in a jungle in a foreign country – hopefully at least! I hope that you do a food tour sometime soon. It was a lot of fun, even in the rain!
Heather says
Happy belated Birthday!
foodielovesfitness says
Thanks a lot, Heather!

I love your list! I want to do many of the same things. Yes to spa days!

Too bad you don’t live closer – we could check a few things off together! 🙂
