101 in 1001: An Update

Back in December 2015 I decided to start a new 101 in 1001 challenge, and actually try to accomplish more than the 33 items I had done on my previous one. One of my goals was to write about my progress monthly, which I've since edited to blogging about it quarterly after finding this awesome link-up on Macy's blog. The thing is, with less than a year left, I realized that a lot of my travel goals are completely unattainable. And some of my "goals" are no longer relevant or I just dodn't care for anymore. So I changed some, but left them on as strikethroughs so I wouldn't forget, and didn't count them in the 101. To check out the full list, click here!

Get to my goal weight

Read all the books I currently own but haven’t yet read 31/70 

Read 101 books (38/101): You can see what I've read so far here! 

Watch a new-to-me movie starting with every letter of the alphabet 23/26
Missing O, N, and Q, but already have movies picked out for these letters!

Figure out a skincare routine
I've actually figured this one out, but I'm not marking it as completed because I haven't been consistent in following through with the routine daily/weekly. 

Find holy grail skin and hair care products
Thanks to a few blogger recommendations and a recent trip to Ulta, I'm well on my way to figuring out what works best for my face and hair. Of course this takes time, as using a product once won't give the best results, and but I'm working on it.

Pay off 2 student loans 
I'm happy to report that one loan has been PAID. Woot! However I did a huge consolidation for a bunch of other ones, and that's going to take quite some time to pay off. Baby steps. 

Get my apartment and possessions 100% organized
I'm about halfway done with this one. I need to go through some closets, and all the crap I have stored in the basement that no longer serves any purpose other than taking up space. 

Organize all of my music files, delete/update as necessary
I've uploaded all of these onto my laptop, and then left them there. I need to sort, delete old songs I'm tired of and broken links, edit song titles, etc. 

Gamble in Las Vegas: planned for December 2017!

Clean out my closets and purge
I did this in my main clothing closet; I need to continue with the hall and linen closets. I think this will be easier after Christmas, since I've been squirreling away presents for people in there!

Update resume

Another work in progress. I've done several drafts and enlisted the help of some friends though, so hopefully this one will be completed soon! 

Completely use up or otherwise get rid of all excess makeup
I've accrued quite a bit of makeup while I've been trying to find out what works, but I still want to use it up or toss it. 

Have you ever done a 101 in 1001 challenge?
