27 Before 27

You all know I like making lists, so here’s a fun one! I read a good blog called Yes and Yes, and Sarah, the writer of said blog, has a list of 31 things she’d like to achieve in her 30th year before she turns 31. Seeing as I turned 25 in January I figured that I hadn’t really given myself enough time to do 26 worthwhile new things in only a few months, so instead I’ve decided to make my list of 27 things to do before I’m 27, giving me around 18 months. Fun, hey?

Here’s my list, I’ll be updating a page I made specifically for it with links to any posts about the tasks at hand. These things range from the ridiculous to the extreme and right back down to the mediocre.

  1. Get my long anticipated foot artwork.
  2. Run my first 10km race.
  3. Dye my hair red.
  4. Co-organise a craft market.
  5. Visit Wales.
  6. Watch all the Star Wars (yes, even the new ones…) back to back.
  7. Pay off 50% of my debts.
  8. Go vegetarian again for at least a month.
  9. Read the H.P Lovecraft collection ‘Necronomicon’.
  10. Adopt a puppy.
  11. Go an entire week without chocolate or desserts.
  12. Learn to make tortillas.
  13. Find an okra recipe that doesn’t make me throw up.
  14. Start writing a novel (or maybe a short story?).
  15. Read a self-help book.
  16. Reach 1000 sales on my Etsy store.
  17. Hang all the artwork I own, finally.
  18. Learn to walk in high heels.
  19. Get a face treatment at a salon.
  20. Learn HDR photography manipulation.
  21. Walk to-and-from work every day for two weeks.
  22. Go on the motorway on my own.
  23. Subject my wardrobe to a ‘Not Worn in the Past Twelve Months’ clearout.
  24. Master a hooping trick.
  25. Wear dresses every day for a week.
  26. Post a video blog entry.
  27. Finish a crochet project.

So, there you go. LET’S DO THIS THING!

  1. Ahh!
    Great idea!
    Where in Wales you planning on visiting?
    I’m from North Wales if you want to ask any questions!

    • I have absolutely no idea! I fancy just getting in the car one day and driving over. I’ve been around the world, but never to Wales. It’s a sad tale!

  5. I was going to give a list of the numbers on YOUR list that I love the best, but then I realized it would’ve been 27 numbers long. :)

  6. Hi! It’s Tara from the YesandYes giveaway. I love your blog!

    ps – Watching Star Wars back-to-back is no small feat. I watched the original trilogy with my boyfriend (per his request) and it was quite taxing. Good luck!
