So if you didnāt already know I am a big YouTube fan. Matter of fact go subscribe to my channel (mzznette100). You just might enjoy my videos.
Ok back to what I was sayingā¦I have pretty much substituted watching TV for watching YouTubeĀ videos (I know Iām lame). What do I watch you ask? Pretty much anything lol. Well let me be more specific. I focus more so on hair tutorials and vlogs from some of my favorite youtubbers. Yesterday I was watching a recently uploaded video from one of my favorite people and she listed her āSummer Bucket Listā. I loved her list and the idea of creating one so I decided to do one for myself. And writing it on this blog will help me stay accountable for actually doing all these items. Here goesā¦
1. Learn to ride a bike!
Some of you all may have burst out loud in laughter after reading this so gone head and get your laughs in nowā¦*waiting*ā¦.you finished? *still waiting* Ok š Yes itās true Iām a grown woman and sadly I cannot ride a bikeā¦smh! Iāve always wanted to learn but never made it a goal nor asked someone to teach me. So this summer Iām going to get this done. I donāt know how or who will teach me but where thereās a will thereās a way!
2. Improve my swimming!
Ok so last summer I officially learned how to swim *itās ok to laugh, chuckle, smirk here as well*. I had basic swimming skills however I wasnāt confident in theĀ skills I had at the time. So we (my Sister and best friend) paid for adult swimming lessons and I must say it was well worth it. However, there are more things Iād like to learn and would like to perfect so I decided this summer Iām going to pay to take intermediate swimming lessons. Believe you me I will be a pro by the end of summer! š
3. Visit wineries!
I live in an area saturated with wineries and for as many years as Iāve lived here (about 6.5 yrs) Iāve only been to 1. And surprisingly I really enjoyed it. Iāve never really been into wine but the more I try different flavors and brands the more I come to appreciate it. Hopefully this summer will help me open up my palette a little more.Ā
4. Go hiking!
I wouldnāt say Iām fond of the outdoors but I can appreciate amazing scenery and a great workout. What better way to pair both of these up by taking a hike up some gorgeous mountain?! Iāve actually never gone hiking but it has always been a form of exercise I wouldnāt mind doing. My goal for the summer is to go on at least 2 hiking trips (baby steps).
5. Take advantage of free events!!!
Just like the saturation of wineries this area (the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia area) offers so many free events. Especially in the District. My problem is I live outside of DC and really dislike commuting into the city. The District and I have a love/hate relationship. Hopefully I wonāt let my hate deter me from enjoying all sorts of free events this summer. Yāall pray for me!
I decided to only do 5. Why? Because I know me and doing any more will set me up to fail. This list I feel is doable so Iām going to do everything in my power to make it happen. I challenge every one of you to create a ādoableā bucket list for this summer. What have you always wanted to do but never got around to it? If you feel like sharing post your listĀ in the comments section below! š

It amazes me the lengths people go to to get noticed. I mean really is it that serious? Or is it even that important? Especially if you are attracting the wrong kind of attention. Don’t get me wrong getting noticed or being paid attention to is not a bad thing, it’s how you get or what you did to get that attention. For example, recently I went to a concert and noticed a heavier bodied young lady with shorts on that could probably give her a yeast infection. And I’m a firm believer of getting your sexy on however it’s just some things you just shouldn’t do or wear! Trust me I’m far from a hater. I can appreciate a women who exudes sex appeal. But if I were that young ladies friend I would have definitely kept it real with her. Again Rihanna wore a revealing ensemble recently to an awards ceremony. I guess this is expected of her because that wouldn’t have been the first time she decided to show/share her assets. But still is that what you want young women to see? Is this truly how you want to attract attention you so early seek? Going to such lengths for 5 minutes of fame never made sense to me. And it never will! I assume if celebrities will go to such lengths mediocre folks like myslef will do just as much. But let me say this….never lose your integrity for the spotlight. Even if it’s for a few seconds. Know your worth! Know your value! Know what abilities you have that will get you the right kind/type of attention! Because surely selling your soul won’t achieve what you are looking for in the grand scheme of things!
Happy Monday Folks! š
