So the idea of having bucket-lists has always bothered me. A bucket-list is like this imaginary archive that you make-up in your head with all this stuff that you want to do before you… well…die. Until recently, I understood that the idea of a bucket-list is not necessarily measured by what you do, but how many of those boxes you got to check off by the time you, well…croak. So, I thought why not write down some of my top bucket list items so (who knows) I could refer back to this when I’m 91 years old and see how well I did, so here goes:
1. Spontaneously pack a bag, head to the airport and jump on the next plane out and see where I go. ✈️
I have quite the type A personality, and letting go is something that is just not easy for me. There is something so amazing and liberating to me in the art of letting go and I am just so curious to see where that journey would lead me. Also, not knowing if what I’m packing is weather appropriate at all and sticking to one luggage terrifies me but would be so exciting, like that scared/eager feeling you get when your about to be tattooed.
2. Get to attend the Barrett Jackson car auction 🚘
Ok, ideally I would like to have won the lottery first and be able to surprise my dad with a father daughter trip to the auction and buy him his dream car (which at this point I believe is a ’65 Mustang Eleanor) and I would get to buy my dream car (which would either be a black ’67 Chevelle SS or a teal ’68 Ford pickup truck… or both😉) but let’s stay realistic. To say I have an obsession with classic cars would be an understatement and Barrett Jackson is to me what an Oscar is to Emma Stone.
3. Pretend like I’m a celebrity and live large in Vegas 💰
Just my husband and I, perhaps for an Anniversary trip. We would stay in the best hotel, eat in all the fanciest restaurants, get bottle service at the the hottest clubs, gamble at the high-rollers table, buy my first Louis Vuitton bag right off the strip, go to Crazy Horse, renew our vows by Elvis at the Little White Wedding Chapel and dress to the nines and get photos taken by a stunning photographer at all the Vegas landmarks.
4. Free swimming with sharks (with a guide, not by myself – I’m ballsy, not stupid) 🦈
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with sharks. Ever since having watched Sharkwater in college (#riprobstewart), I have been fascinated with sharks and even though they intimidate the sh** out of me, I believe if it helps me get rid of my fear and end the stigma, that’s one step closer in saving sharks from extinction who are so important to our oceans.
5. Get to design/create something that people can shop 👩🏽🎨
I would love to make something… anything that would then get put on shelves (or online) to share with other people. Either some article of clothing or even a line, stationary or agendas or even any type of beauty product would be a dream!
**6. Sign up for a board game competition (and win) 🎲
Ok this one is a little bonus, (noticing a theme here?). In my family, trivia games and board games are played on the regular, and when I say regular I mean at least once a week and it’s kind of become the “thing” that we do with extended family when we all get together too. But I’m good, I’m reallllly good at trivia, I consider it a gift of mine actually, so being able to enter in some sort of competition and winning would be just the coolest thing ever!
So I’ll see how much of these I get to check off my list and I’ll check back in with you guys in 65 years… so stay tuned 😉
