25 Before 25 Update

June 24, 2016

Hey y’all, happy Friday! The 4th of July marks the halfway mark to 25 so I wanted to see what I have already accomplished and what still needs to be done. Now for my 25 before 25 update. Let’s jump into it, shall we?

25 before 25 update

25 Before 25 Update

  1. Travel to a new place // I’m going to italicize this because we’re traveling to Jamaica for our honeymoon in November so I know that this is going to be crossed off before the end of the year.
  2. Buy a new car // (January 2016) This was an early goal that I accomplished but I am so happy to have a new car.
  3. Be fearless // This is a work in progress. I am in the process of starting a new venture so I’d say I’m halfway there. I want to continue being fearless in all other aspects of life though.
  4. Be more present // This is also one of my 2016 resolutions  and I’m not going to lie, I haven’t been doing the best with this. Because I decided I wanted to embark on a new adventure, (hint: it involves owning my own biz) I have been putting a lot of focus on this so I haven’t been able to be the most present but I am surely trying.
  5. Save 6k in my emergency fund // I’m over halfway to this goal so if things keep going like they are, then this should be a reality before my 25th birthday.
  6. Participate in a 30-day challenge // Not quite yet but I really am looking to do a workout challenge here soon. (Hopefully July since that’s the month of my bach party)
  7. Finish accumulating all of my home decor  (May 2016) // We still need end tables and some fun accent furniture but we’ve got the basics so I am a happy girl.
  8. Become a more positive person // Keeping a positive outlook has been so tough lately especially when I have some things holding me back from embracing my full potential but I am really working on being positive no matter what’s going on.
  9. Participate in a no spend month // I think I am going to participate in a no spend during August or September. October and November will hold tons of wedding related expenses so it’s just not realistic to shoot for those two months.
  10. Learn how to cook // If we’re being completely honest, I haven’t touched this goal yet. I really want to take up cooking but the last thing I want to do when I get home from a long day at work is cook dinner.
  11. Hold myself more accountable for my spending // I’ve been so-so at this. I have been saving a chunk of money each month but I could definitely be doing better.
  12. Get a bonus at work // (March 2016) I achieved this! Even though it was a pretty small bonus since I had only been working at the company since the end of September, it still counts.
  13. Send more snail mail // I’ve been sending more snail mail between save the dates and my upcoming wedding invites and there will be more to come after the wedding, I’m sure.
  14. Work to improve my photography skills // This was one of my 2016 blogging goals and so far, I have been doing a little better. I am still not proud of my photos so this is something that I want to change.
  15. Take better care of my skin // I’ve done so much better with this. I have been washing my face nearly every night and making sure that on the nights that I don’t that I at least take off my makeup.
  16. Go skydiving // Not just yet but I am sure hoping.
  17. Work on keeping my apartment neater // I’m the worst at this. Just like cooking, the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is clean.
  18. Start making more passive income // I’ve been making more passive income by affiliate links and ads so that’s been nice. I hope to increase my passive income revenue in the near future.
  19. Drink more water // The only thing I drink now is water so it’s safe to say that I am killing this goal.
  20. Learn how to code a little better // Eh, haven’t really worked on this yet but hopefully soon!
  21. Stop trying to do everything all at once // Nope, I still do this…but not really at home, just during my day job. It’s probably one of my worst habits but what can ya do?
  22. Fully redesign my site // This is in the works and I’m so stoked to unveil it to y’all.
  23. Be more intentional with my time //  I’ve actually been doing this and planning out what I’m going to do when has been so helpful.
  24. Get rid of clothing I don’t truly love // I have been cleaning out my closet and can’t wait to finish and only have clothing that I love in my closet.
  25. Always make time for myself // I have been doing better with this but there’s always room for improvement.

I hope y’all enjoyed my 25 before 25 update. I’ve accomplished a decent amount of things and hope to continue crossing things off my list. Did you ever make a list similar to this? What are your goals before your next birthday? Feel free to let me know down in the comments.
