Hi everyone! How are you today? Back in June I posted my summer bucket list and promised I would be back after my holiday to give you an update on how many things I accomplished on it…It felt kind of nostalgic looking back on my summer goals as I can remember sitting and writing them, I had no idea how much fun I would have! I know that summer is still going strong for some of you ๐ but here where I live in Ireland it is well and truly gone! ๐…I’m happy because I’m prepared! ๐ I found all of the clothes that I packed away when spring/summer started ๐๐ it was like an early Christmas finding them at the back of my wardrobe! Long story short I forgot what I actually had in there! ๐ I won’t be doing a autumn/winter clothing haul that’s for sure! ๐ฌ I don’t think the floor could handle the weight, we’re worried enough about my bookcases as it is ๐๐ anywho! Here are the things I hoped I would do this summer + my updates! (This post is a short one today as I’m having a flare-up ๐ but it keeps me feeling positive looking back on my bucket list and seeing how I fared ๐ฌ๐).
Go to the beach more than once!
Okay! So I got to the beach twice…but I didn’t set foot on it ๐๐ I made it to the sandy wooden walkway leading down there so I could take some pictures and say I had achieved half a goal HERE ๐๐ but does that happening twice puzzle together to make a full goal? ๐
Take more selfies!
I arrived back home from my holiday with loads of pictures taken with my family and I’m sooo happy ๐ memories are shadowed with one of us saying “let’s take a photo” so they can now be remembered forever! ๐ For my sister’s 21st birthday on Monday I got her a frame that holds 4 photos of us together too! (I also bought her the “alien” perfume by Thierry Mugler but I’m gonna go out on a whim and say she was more appreciative of the pictures! ๐๐).
Go in the garden and for walks up the road!
I managed to go in the garden with my oldest dog ruby and at one point I made it into a habit of going out there everyday until my body couldn’t handle it anymore which annoyed me a lot but I’m glad I got out there as much as I did. I didn’t go for walks up my own road but whilst on holiday my sister and I would walk up the road to the shops from our cousins house ๐
Get out and do stuff!
I can’t clearly remember previous summers ๐ but I’d say that this summer I experienced a lot more fun things! I went to two different arcades a handful of times (one time being HERE), had days out whilst on holiday in the UK HERE and HERE and I spent a load of days with my friend who had come down from her college for the summer break ๐
Make a vision board!
This is a goal my friend and I tried to attempt ๐ but the magazines I have (that I was going to throw away so went to some good use! ๐) didnt have anything we wanted to make a collage out of in them. I suppose a good idea would have been to buy a home style magazine beforehand! ๐ค๐
Have a picnic!
We had many mini picnics in the car whilst on day trips to see places but not a full on picnic! ๐ It wasn’t on the cards at all (meaning I completely forgot about it! ๐) If we had ended up having one in the end I highly doubt it would have involved a wicker basket and pasta like my goal wanted it to anyway as trying to explain my vision of the perfect picnic would have been WEIRD ๐
Get my ears pierced….again! ๐
I didn’t get my ears pierced but I remember this not being a big deal on my bucket list anyway ๐…to be honest I don’t think I want to get my ears pierced again as I would only just forget to put in earings like last time and recently I’ve been seeing someone have trouble with a piercing and if I’m honest it’s just putting me off ๐๐๐ฌ I’ll think about it!
Go to a car boot sale!
Does an indoor market count? Because in there was where we got the bakery treats that I showed you in my July Favourite’s post ๐ I could do with a raspberry pavlova right about NOW (the “now” is supposed to trigger a magic trick where the Pavlova miraculously appears right in front of me but it’s not working…how strange! ๐ค๐๐๐).
Overall I’m pleased (and slightly amused) about how my goals worked out ๐ I think the best thing for me to do was to forget about this list of goals as then in the end I accomplished the ones I deep down wanted the most (if I’m making any sense? ๐๐) The goals that did not work out as well can still be done when it’s not summer but the ones I really wanted like (pictures of memories and time spent with my friend) happened and that makes me so happy! ๐ I got pictures printed out and am looking around for a large frame at the moment to showcase in my room! (TKmaxx here I come! ๐๐)
Thank you for reading! ๐๐ How did your summer goals turn out? Have a lovely day!
Great list and so happy you could get much of it completed ๐ xx
