30 Before 30 – The Updated Version

Katy Mackenzie

I’m back (finally) and before I start this post, I wanna just say thank you to you all for still supporting me. It has been a rough few months and if you saw my Instagram post, I have had a weird month and a bit. I’m glad I’m getting back into the swing of things and although I am still on furlough, I am hoping to be bringing more posts and with that comes another chapter of my blog.

Over the years I have mainly focused on beauty, lifestyle and mental health and although I still love writing about those parts of my life, I have another part of my life I want to share and that’s Fashion! I never really cared about fashion until last year and now I ‘m getting more into it, I want to take you along on the journey with me so expect some fashion posts coming up in the next few months!

It’s nearly 2 years since I published 30 Before 30 and with that, I thought it would be a good time to see what I’ve done in those two years and see what I have left to go.

1. Become a full-time Blogger

Still haven’t achieved this one yet but I am getting back into it so you never know!

2. Visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Still haven’t visited Italy but you never know!

3. Get Married

Yeah I am not gonna be married for a while. Definitley not happening right now.

4. Produce at least 1 song

I have actually started writing music again so let’s hope I can get a good song out!

5. Adopt a dog from a shelter

Once I move, I hopefully will adopt a dog!

6. Get a piercing

FINALLY! I wrote this post in 2018, got my lobes pierced in December 2019 and now as of 10th August 2020, I have 7 piercings! Two in my nose, my first and second lobes and my right helix done! I was so scared for the pain but honestly don’t know what I was so worried about.

7. Learn to drive

I’m hoping to make this my 2021 goal for when I move!

8. Go to a festival

I still haven’t been to one but I am hoping to buy my Download ticket this month!

9. Be fluent in Spanish

Still am learning but I keep making sure I am up to date with what I already know!

10. Say Yes for a week

Gonna leave this one till I have a steady job I think!

11. Live abroad

Nope. Not gonna happen for at least a few years!

12. Attend an F1 race

Still a goal of mine but one can hope!

13. Re-design my own house

I don’t think I will ever get to own a house but I’m hoping I can design something in the future!

14. Attend a movie premiere

Yeah… Dunno why this was on here, let’s just forget I put this on the list.

15. Throw a garden party

Give me a year and I’ll throw an amazing one.

16. A road trip through France

Need to learn to drive first soooo….

17. Develop a skin care routine

Finally, I did this! Got into the routine of helping my skin and it has improved so much!

18. Go skinny dipping

Will need to go on holiday and get seriously drunk for this one to happen.

19. Visit Disneyland

Still one of my goals! I’m thinking of the Paris one first then working up to the Cali one!

20. Go Skiing/Snowboarding

Again, I am still wondering when I can go do this. COVID kinda messed up any holiday plans I had for this year.

21. Learn to play the guitar

I started to learn a few songs and some more chords but I just have to buy my own guitar now!

22. Buy Gucci

I don’t actually know why this is on here. It’s not a life goal of mine.

23.Travel to at least 10 countries

Still haven’t gone away but I am planning a group holiday for next year so let’s hope!

24. Journal

I need to start doing this more but I also like to journal as blog posts that will never see the light of day so maybe I’ll publish one in the future!

25. Get my braces off

FINALLY! After 4 years, I got them off in April 2019!! My teeth aren’t the best but I am so happy with the fact they’re finally off!

26. Read 20 books

I read a few! I managed to read Uzumaki by Junji Ito and it’s manga and one of the best I’ve read! It has so many twists and turns (literally) in this story. I’ve started reading The Mortal Instruments again as they are such good books but still am waiting to find some more I’m interested in!

27. Visit the Hollywood sign

Still am yet to visit LA!

28. Start weekly meditation

I don’t think this will happen for a while but we can dream!

29. Have a kid

Yeah, I’m going back on this one! I can barely take care of myself so…

30. Start my own business

I’m working towards this one! I’ve been researching and getting advice so keep an eye out on my Instagram!


So not too bad for two years but I need to more if I’m going to achieve my 30 before 30 list! Let’s see if I can achieve some more in another two years! Is there anything you want to complete by the time you’re at a milestone age?
