WARNING: This is going to be a long post with a lot of pictures.
I have completed my 30 by 30 list and here is everything:
- finish my back yard project – done! See the post for all the pictures.
- do one single leg tricep pushup on each leg – done. I thought about taking a video but wasn’t really able to get my phone to stay where it needed to video it alone so I gave up.
- eat something with a face (thanks Adam for the suggestion, stay tuned for my snarky take on this) – yep I made a face on my breakfast
- write myself a letter to open on the day before my 40th birthday and place it somewhere I hopefully will not lose it and will remember to open it in 10 years
- do not apologize the entire day, unless I do something that really needs an apology – done
- attempt, and most likely fail at, a handstand – done. Video not taken for the same reason it wasn’t for the push-ups.
- cook myself breakfast and sit down to eat it at my table – I made breakfast by walking to get it:
this is called a brookie and that is fudge in the middle. It is so good. From a place called Pint Size Bakery which I fully recommend
- eat my dinner at my table, cooking it if I have time and care to do so – I cooked!
so I basically made a sandwich with stir fried tofu and kim chi
- play video games, probably for at least an hour – done. I played portal. Gamer mode activated:
ready to game
- clean my house so it will all be nice when I wake up on my birthday – done. I didn’t want to take pictures of it.
- dance – done.
- dye my hair, potentially a non-natural looking color – see the previous post on the story of what happened. Here are the pictures. I will be re-doing this after my cousin’s wedding.
heat processing your own hair with a blow dryer for an hour is super not fun
over this whole drying thing but still super cute (ignore the pimple, ok?)
can you tell? Not really. Not in this light anyway…
- take photo / video evidence of as much of the above and below as possible which will later be added to this blog in a different post (and maybe some on facebook) – see all the other posts. There are tons of pictures.
- give myself a manicure
I went super girly for this one. It won’t stay on that much longer
- give myself a pedicure
- try contouring make up – here is a picture of all the make up and a ton of selfies:
look at all of that makeup! I normally don’t wear anything or very little. This was quite a process
subtle but I can see a difference, can you?
I look a little alien in this but I kinda like it. I normally hide my large forehead but this is just going for it and somehow works. Thoughts?
glamour shot
really loving this face. I call it the new face of 30
- attempt a pinterest craft project – these pictures got turned around and I can’t seem to fix that so some are upside down, deal with it. I tried with three shirts. One worked, one kinda worked, and one did nothing…
the supplies
bleach pen to write on the shirts
shirt 1 with bleach writing
shirt 2 with bleach writing
shirt 3 with bleach writing
finished shirt 3 – kinda works. A little hard to read but I think you can still mostly read it
finished shirt 1 turned out the best which I appreciate because it is my favorite saying that I wrote
shirt 2 didn’t do a darn thing. Apparently it can’t be bleached. At least it is still a cute shirt
- walk to get coffee – done and I had it with my breakfast at my table.
iced coffee from Pint Size Bakery
see I had coffee and breakfast at my table
- take obnoxious selfies – see all of the pictures in this post, they are everywhere.
- make plans for my birthday celebration – done. I made a reservation and friends went out to dinner.
- wear heels all day when outside, except when traveling to the gym – done.
I love these shoes
see – heels
- use a hashtag – see the pictures of my pinterest craft project. There are hashtags on two of those shirts.
- stay busy for a full day doing things I want to do, not things I have to do for others – completely done with everything on this list plus I watched some movies.
of course I watched these
- buy myself flowers – done
tulips! My favorite!
- complete two workouts in the same day – done, more than once actually.
proving I survived. This was after BarreAmped and BarreAmped Bootcamp. I later stayed for BarreAmped Fire after teaching PiYo which was much more difficult but I survived that too
- pick up my b-day gift from Sephora – done
includes the lips plus some extras that I got since there was a VIP deluxe sample promo for the other stuff. I consider that part of the birthday gift
- cash in my b-day gift from World Market – done
solar powered LED light that flashes like you have fireflies in a mason jar
- eat something I have never tried before – I went above and beyond with this. The kim chi was in my dinner that I made and I just tried the hot sauce on chips. But I do have pictures of the cake thing:
this is the inside. It is ok. Not bad but not great.
- attempt, and most likely fail at, a cartwheel – done. Like other videos, there is no evidence of this but I did fail.
- try a new hairstyle – done.
what I normally do
the new bun that I figured out which makes me look like I have more hair and makes a much wider bun
