Back in February, I shared my Travel Bucket List with you all {and I'm super excited that we're now actually going to one of those locations for our honeymoon in October}. I've been meaning to follow that post up for a while now with a more generic bucket list - a life bucket list!
For those of you who don't know, a bucket list is a list of things that you want to see, do or achieve before you, um... die. Cheery stuff, yes? If you're anything like me, the things on your list will change massively depending on what mood you're in, what time of year it is, and whether you're feeling particularly wild or adventurous that day.
But in preparation for this post, I've given my list entries a lot of thought, and I'm pretty confident that they won't change over the next few years.
If you have a spare five minutes sat on the Tube or waiting for an appointment, why not try jotting a couple of ideas down on your phone for your bucket list? It sounds strange, but it feels quite exciting thinking about the endless possibilities that lie ahead. It also makes you consider what matters most to you. Travel? Family? Adrenaline rushes?
Well, here is my bucket list, in case you need some inspiration - in no particular order...
{I know this one's on my Travel Bucket List already, but I really wanna go}

{It's highly embarrassing. We'll talk about it some other time}
