3 New Things: August Edition
For the past few months, I try to attempt 3 new things that I’ve never done! So far, my track record hasn’t been so hot but I have high hopes. I’ve actually learned a lot. I’m learning just how much you can do in a month (the answer: not as much as I thought). Here’s what I’ve done so far: made popsicles, created my own necklace, planted herbs, and took a class on terrarium making!
So what’s up for August? Well I’m working around my spending freeze so I needed to do things that won’t break that vow:
- Design postcards and send to friends and family. Be creative, practice calligraphy and use lots of color.
- Go skinny dipping. It just has to happen.
- Actually record a video with my iPhone and edit with Photoshop.
If you keep track, you might notice that #3 is the same as last months. I was able to research a lot more and purchase a membership through Lynda.com (for tutorials). I’m excited to record a video during our time at our family’s lakehouse later this month!
I have high hopes for August. This month I’ll begin freelancing full-time, joining an amazing studio here in Columbus, travelling to Chicago, relaxing in Michigan, and (hopefully) accomplishing these three things!

Thank you Naomi!! I hope I can keep it up and start understanding my time better too. I like new things (even if they’re scary).

Allie! You have to go skinny dipping! I did it late at night in Florida in Jan. anddd there is nothing more liberating and i was cracking up the entire time! SO FUN!

Ah! I’m so excited. I think I won’t be as freaked out if it’s in a lake vs the ocean hahaha. I’m cool with the naked part…but the underwater world scares me!!! HA!

Hahaha. I remember skinny dipping when I was about 20 with a bunch of friends in the sea in Cape Town (freezing cold water!). Good luck!
-
Brrrr!! I hope wherever the skinny dipping takes place…it’s a bit warmer haha! Sounds like a blast either way :)

I cannot wait to see how #3 turns out! I’m really interested in getting into video too. Oh and lynda.com is amazing! I get a free subscription through work, but I would pay. It’s that great.
