101 things in 1001 days update

Time for an update:

Numbers 34, 35 & 36 are done and are actually ongoing - i met my goals but found that i really do that most of the time anyway. As for the red lipstick -i have worn it but it wasn't the absolutely best colour for me, so i'm going to try to get the perfect colour this weekend.

Also a goal for this weekend is #70-which is to go the entire weekend without turning on my computer. Honestly, this will be a hard one for me, but i'm going to try to do it anyway. i've done it in the past and so i know i can survive without the computer!

More updates coming in the near future. i'm glad to be checking things off of this list and excited for some warmer weather to do even more!

Ta-ta for now
