The new year has arrived and everyone has most likely come up with their New Year Resolutions lists. I came up with my own last year, in this post. Let’s be honest, I miserably failed to complete all of these. There is something about lists we all love though. Lists motivate you, inspire you, make you feel more organized and crossing off items off your list gives you an internal satisfaction that you have succeeded in something. You feel a sense of accomplishment. I have definitely had my share of failed lists. Not going to lie, we all have. When I came across Design Darling’s 101 things in 1001 days, I knew this was a list I had to create for myself and with 1001 days to complete it, the list seems attainable and better than New Year Resolutions.

Oh my goodness, I loveeeeee this list! So many of these I would love to accomplish too. Its great to have a visual to look at when trying to accomplish things. I know it always helps me. If you need any classic movie recommendations just let me know! They are my favorite and speciality :)amandabrezovsky.com
Yes please! Send me over some classic movies. I don't know where to start.Too many choices.
This is such a great idea! I might give it a try, although the idea is a bit daunting haha. Trying to think of all of these and it definitely forces you to stop and think about your life in general. I just did 4 goals for this year and doing that took a lot. You've got some great ones though :)xoThe Fashionista Bubble
I always complain I don't do things, but when I want to do something I get overwhelmed. So I think this will help and give me sufficient time to accomplish.
Oooo I love this idea, and love your list. Especially loving the getting engaged one (my fingers are crossed for you)… also love host a dinner party as I am wanting to do that too, it would be lovely…. Oh and belly dancing class! Happy MondayFilipa xxxPlayingWithApparel.com | Instagram
lol I follow the philosophy dream big or don't dream at all.I love themed dinner parties.
I absolutely LOVE this idea, and all of the items on your list! I'm a huge list person, and may need to try out everything on your Toronto list as well!xo JoëlleLa Petite Noob
We should totally tackle the Toronto list together. I will need a partner in crime.
I hope #35 is with me!!!
