{52 things before 25}

challenges for 2013

hello ello friendlikins!

how be you on this fine day? hope all is fine n dandy : )

i thought i would finally share with you about my {52 things before 25 - challenge} that i've set for myself in 2013!

as i said in my previous post - its all about:

<> 52 things before 25
- a challenge that i created for myself
- it involves many things i'd like to do before i turn 25
- it incorporates many things that encompass my 3 main goals of 2013 {relationships + health + getting things done}

so what does this look like? i made a list of 52 things that i would like to achieve - things that are daily, weekly, monthly or one offs! anything from reading a book a month, to having a crafter-noon with the girls, to buying a typewriter! i'm excited for this epic year of getting things done! can you tell? haha are you excited to live with action over intention + carpe diem {seize the day!}? my lack there of was my inspiration for my 52 things, and since it's my 25th birthday this year in december {that's a quarter century - eek!} i thought that would be a good kind of due date!

lets have a looksies shall we?!

52 things before 25 {1-27}

52 things before 25 {27-52}

first i made a list of all the things that i wanted to achieve in 2013 + then i went through them to decide what would be daily, weekly, monthly or a one off!

then it was onto the fun part of colour coding with STICKERS! yay! lots of colours is what tickles my fancy + keeps bringing me back to check out my list of things to do, my goals + purpose driven year.

we're nearly a month into the year already! wow... well i better get a move on, there's lots to do! don't get me wrong, i haven't touched on things here + there - but i haven't quite gotten into the full swing of things - the main thing is that there has been progress!

how's your year been so far? any plans/challenges/goals/resolutions? would love to hear how it's going + be inspired by adventures to be!

p.s. sorry about the sideways pics - i'll need to learn how to get them the right way round! any tips? there's always google + handy dandy youtube!

love love
