30 things to do before 30

-

I’m nearing my 30s and quiet honestly I cannot wait to start this next chapter of my life. If there’s anything I’ve learnt about growing older and smarter, it would be to remain calm and that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. I think when I was in my late teens I wanted to graduate, get a high paying job, and be married by 25 and have 2 kids by 30 and guess what...that is not how my life turned out, far from it even.

One of the lessons that I’m learning is that I cannot be in control of everything and therefore sometimes I can be prepare as much as I want to you but somethings in life I just cannot control.

As I approach the third level of my life, here some of things that I want to share with you that I would like to do before I reach my dirty thirty.... Oh, by the way I’m turning the big 30 next year in November, please reach out and ask me in December if these were all ticked off.

Here some 30 things to do before I reach 30

1.       Skydiving – I’m not a fan of bungee jumping but I reckon Skydiving is the better of the two because with skydiving I will be jumping out of the aircraft with a professional

2.       Get another 2 tattoos – I’m not sure yet where exactly I want the other one, but I know that I want at least one of the tattoos in red on my right calf...I will share the pictures.

3.       Travel to Tanzania – I’ve heard good things about this country and that the women there are extremely beautiful. I would really love to see Tanzania, more especially Zanzibar to be specific.

4.       Visa-free European country – Honestly, I think I’m a lazy traveler, therefore a visa free travel with only my passport is on my list, and I would love to. Here are some countries that I need to choose from.

5.       Elephant ride – I tried horse riding once and that was the last time. The horse ride did leave me in pain and uncomfortable so I think I would like to ride an elephant this time around.

6.       Spend a week in Cape Town – I’ve been to Cape Town before but on business trips rather than leisure. I would definitely love to go there again for leisure and spend a week there and do all the things that lovers do when they go on getaways. Go to Signal Hill, visit the vineyards...I’m excited already.

7.       Get a PMP certification – With my line of work and the things that I do, I would really love to complete and be accredited with the professional in project management. It would just look good on LinkedIn plus my brain needs to learn something new.

8.       Pay off at least 60% of my mortgage – This is possible and achievable, but it will require some discipline within myself. I bought my house was under market value and I would love to pay off 60% before relocating.

9.       Master at least 3 dishes – I am not a great cook nor am I a bad cook but what I cook is edible. I just want to master a minimum of 3 dishes, so that when I host and or attending those family gatherings then my family or partner can say “Please prepare that dish of yours” and then everyone knows these particular dishes are my specialty.

10.   Host a sexy sultry sleepover – Yes, I think one night in the summer I will be hosting a girls night in. I’ve done game night before. I think a nice sexy night with the girls just to distress would be great.

11.   Learn how to swim – I have been postponing this for the longest time and considering that I want to travel and take really good bikini shots, I think it’s fitting that this time around when I take a picture at some resort or villa I need to be able to float and actually swim in the pool.

12.   Buy more shares – Yes, yes. I need my ROI to be be in dollars or pounds. I have bought some shares, but I really want to do more and gain far better returns. In my current portfolio I’ve diversified and I’m happy. I just need to invest more so that I can retire comfortably if not leave a legacy behind for the family to build on.

13.   Turn my blog into an additional source of income - Yaaaas honey!. At this point in time, blogging is a hobby for me which I really enjoy. I would like to try on some affiliate marketing going forward. The only reason I have been “afraid” to monetize my blog is because I believe once I include the revenue element into it then it my impact what I post, and my posts may be influenced as compared to me just doing what I love and posting as and when I want to.

14.    That’s all folks.... There is just so much that I would like to do but I really cannot think of more right now. Anything added on the list would be a replica of someone else’s list and I want this list to reflect me...perhaps I will do a part 2 of the list but as it stands right. These are the 13 things I would like to do before I turn 30

Growing your career has never been so easy...

For a person working a 9 to 5, we all know that come February/March we need to submit our development goals. Depending on the organization you work for and your manager this could be either a tick box exercise or this could actually determine where you are headed in your career.  Career development goals was just another to do exercise for me with my previous employer because we were given 2 weeks to think about our goals and populate this on workday or worst case scenario, I had to submit those in 24 hours like WTF. But anyway, I managed to do that, and I guess I didn’t stay long in that organization. What does it really mean to build you career and have you actually thought about this? or as long as you progressing in your career, not sure where you going though but as long as you moving forward and the money is good then everything else is good right? Nah Buddy, then you are in a different hood not adulthood. So, I found it fitting to share this since I literally just submit...

Keeping up with the theme of supporting local from my previous  post – New Year, New Me Bull , I thought I would share some of the African developed apps that we should have and also riding on the twitter wave that we should normalise supporting South African businesses first before supporting the big dogs whether  it’s black or white doesn’t really matter. Let’s support local first and if one local business does not give you quality service try the next local business. Try at least supporting 3 local business before you go to the international conglomerate. ·        Moya Messenger – This a messenger app that enables its users to communicate without the use of data provided they don’t send any attachments. Sending attachment is not data free. No charges on voice notes though. It’s data free when your sim is from a supported South African mobile network. All you do is switch on your data and you good to go. There are features on the app as well ...

What is the Big Deal About Skincare?

Many people are very confused by the current state of the market and are wondering what is the big deal about skincare. They see the so-called beauty companies all over the television and they see them pitching their wares but aren't quite sure what to believe. In fact, a quick search of the Internet will yield a veritable plethora of information on this subject. So, why is there so much confusion about skincare? There are several reasons for that. One of the first causes of the recent confusion regarding skincare products is the fact that we have more choices than ever before when it comes to cosmetics. This has resulted in us buying more things that claim to be able to improve our skin. The problem is that most of these products are not actually very good for our skin and in fact some of them can even be quite harmful. Chemicals are used in these cosmetics products that are intended to give the skin a better appearance and these chemicals often times can cause problems. We now kn...
