The A to Z of Turning 30,






Turning 30 recently hit theatres and whether you may have loved or hated it, you can't deny that 30 is that landmark age for most women. That's why we put together a list of must-dos before you hit 30. Check it out.

Adventure:
Whatever gives you an adrenalin rush. Wild life safari, White water river rafting, paragliding, skydiving. The sky isn’t the limit.

Buy:
Something that will be only yours, whether you’ve tied the knot or not. Your own house, car, bike or simply an account that only you know about.

Catch up:
With buddies from your childhood. It helps put a lot of things in perspective.

Dance:
Like no one’s watching. Whether it’s a discotheque or in the confines of your bedroom, every lady must dance till she drops every once in a while.

Eat:
And enjoy every morsel. Don’t look at food as a punishment or as an indulgence. But as a nourishing necessity. A little junk food every now and then won’t kill you.

Flirt:
Good ol’ harmless flirting is so much fun. Even if you’re married/in a committed relationship, zero in on a day a month where you two can flirt with others just for fun. It makes you feel desirable and who knows, may make you desire your partner all the more.

Go!:
Just hit the road. Local transport or your own vehicle, take off by yourself. To never never land or otherwise.

Hobby:
Discover a new one from time to time. Be it pottery, experimental cooking or playing a musical instrument, it’s never too late.

Ink:
Get a tattoo that’s an extension of your personality. If the idea of permanent ink freaks you out, go temporary first and then decide.

Job switch:
If you feel jaded — like most 20-somethings — that is. Get financially secure and then take a sabbatical or change professions.

Kiss:
Make the perfect kiss happen. Read up, practice, kiss a stranger, whatever it takes.

Live alone:
Everyone must experience this, however short the time period.

Meet:
Your close friends and folks from time to time. Contact keeps you grounded.

Nude:
In public. On a skinny beach in an exotic foreign country or otherwise.

Orgasm:
And you don’t necessarily need a man to enjoy multiple orgasms. Chocolate, erotica, whatever works for you.

PDA:
Public display of affection with your loved one(s). It makes you feel alive.

QLC:
Have a quarter life crisis. It’ll prepare you for the impending mid-life crisis.

Relationship:
Don’t be afraid to fall in love even if you’ve had your heart broken in the past. There’s no feeling like willful surrender.

Smile:
Flash those pearlies at  at least one stranger a day. At your own risk. Tee hee.

Teach:
And be taught. It’s rarely too early or late for either. You could teach language/math basics to your maid. For you, it’s a good idea to pick up anything from a foreign language, driving skills or stained glass painting.

U:
You. Realise your childhood dream — turning entrepreneur, getting your picture in the newspaper… 

Volunteer: with an NGO. Or help the needy in cash or kind.

Work romance:
It may not be the greatest idea, but whoever said life’s going to be perfect. Do it for the thrill of it.

Xplore:
your sexuality, that is. Whether you’re bisexual, bi-curious or plain curious in the bedroom, let the (re)discovery begin.

Y: Why? Ask questions. It’ll keep you childlike. Ever wonder why kids ask so many questions? Huh? Huh?

Zzz sacrifice:
Stay up for at least 48 hours straight. Why? Simply cos’ you may not be able to do it after you hit 30. Cheers
