24 things to do before i turn 24

It's been a couple of months since I last updated you guys on my list of 24 Things To Do Before I turn 24, so here's where I'm at.

I haven't slashed through as many as I would like, but they will get done! However, some of them are a bit impractical at the moment as I'm trying to save as much money as possible (I won't be riding in a hot air balloon, doing a cleanse or detox, going to a winery, or joining a yoga class any time soon.) I know I'm sounding cheap regarding some of these things, but I promise I'm not making excuses - I have a really good reason to be saving the money!

1. Ride in a hot air balloon
2. Increase my Etsy sales by at least one a month
