Hey y'all! So I don't know about you, but I am having some serious withdrawals within myself. I am an adrenaline junkie and travel guru, so this quarantine has really been getting to me. Since we can't venture out anywhere right now, I thought it'd be the perfect time to round up some bucket list ideas! I compiled a list of some of my top things and some answers I received from y'all on instagram (I had to try and limit myself to 50 ideas). I apologize in advance but there is no organization this list lol.

I have to stop myself from this list or it will be 10 miles long... BUT seriously I must say, if you do absolutely nothing on this list but one thing, it HAS to be to go skydiving. If you get motion sickness, you will not feel it because your brain actually doesn't even register your falling because your body is not passing anything on the way down (until you get level with trees, and by then your parachute is open). Those who are afraid of heights, conquer that fear. I promise you, you will look at life oh so differently once your feet hit the ground. It's a life changing moment and I wish for everyone to experience it at least once.
A bucket list doesn't always have to be about going somewhere and doing something that makes your heart race. It can be something as simple as learning a new skill or finding a hobby that you enjoy. I know this is a tough time for everyone and we all have 100 reasons to be negative, but use this time to do something you've always wanted to do like starting a workout program or learn how to speak a different language. Be the one who makes the best out of the situation that is given to them. Love you all so very much and I hope you have a great weekend!
XOXO - Amber
