This past year as a 29 year old has been absolutely amazing. I turned 30 officially in February but I wanted to share my “30 before 30” list I made on my 29th birthday. I can honestly say this was the first step to holding myself accountable and reaching some silly/strange goals!
I plan on making another for “32 before 32” and it will include some of my goals I didn’t achieve from my 30 list. I figured I would give myself 2 years to accomplish some goals and to be honest CORONA is fucking some shit up right now!
ENJOY! Reach your dreams! Strive for more… and don’t ever give up! ALSO, don’t forget to listen to my podcast about this entry!
1. Lower Debt
Lets be honest with ourselves; there are people who kick ass at saving every penny. I am not one of those people. Needless to say, I will keep working on lowering my Mt. Everest high miles of debt.
2. Visit 3 New Cities
- I went to Dallas, Nassau Bahamas, New York, Hollywood and Denver Colorado! All were amazing experiences.
3. Sky Diving
- Unfortunately I did not get around to sky diving this year. I am (confession) a procrastinator and it got WAY too cold by the time I realized it was time to jump! This will go on my 32 before 32!

23. Set up Saving plan
Let’s just remind ya’ll reading that I have no money at the end of the day to save BUT I did use Digit for a couple of months until it over-drafted my account! One day.. When I have enough money to survive, I would be more than happy to sign up again.
24. Gluten Free
January 2019 I was ill and we were experiencing a polar vortex in Michigan. If you are questioning what a polar vortex is.. well it is the coldest of the coldest damn weather ever experienced by people other than Eskimos. Well, needless to say schools close when it is -25 outside. I had a whole 2 weeks of freezing my ass off to jump straight in to Gluten Free living to help with my inflammation, pain in my stomach and 3 inches of bloating after a meal. Drum roll pleaseee…… I have been a year and some months Gluten Free! There was some hiccups trying to figure out what has gluten in it and what doesn’t BUT I feel great! I don’t see myself adding gluten back into my diet any time soon. It is MUCH easier than it seems… trust me; I was addicted to my 3 food groups 1. Pasta 2. Bread and 3. More bread. I don’t feel sad or tempted to eat gluten filled treats (unless I smell fresh donuts).
25. Celestial Event
Fail!
26. 30’s Photo Shoot
27. Meditation
I began my journey of meditation to help me sleep better at night. Luckily, I was stuck in a black hole of whatever Youtube is made of. Within this never ending black hole, I found Micheal Sealey. At first meditation feels a bit weird and it takes practice! I find myself most relaxed and ready for sleep after listening to one of his audios. Try it out!
28. Morning Routine
I can’t explain how HORRIBLE I am in the AM’s before work! I promise to continue to try different morning routines until I find one that suits me and my grouchy ass.
