The beginning of the blog

So this blog came about after being at dinner last month with my wonderful hubby and dear friend M. It was like a lightbulb went off through conversation that yes in fact I too was aging and would be 3o soon.
"I stil remember when 30 was old." Deanna Carter sang it back in the 90s and I now knew exactly how she felt. All of a sudden it was like I had lost a couple years or something. How could 30 be so soon approaching?
I was much cheered and forgot the woes of getting older (and grayer) as my husband and I enjoyed a 2 week vaca in Vegas and California. We tried treats from Japanese bakeries we had never heard of. We walked across the heights of the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove 1900 some miles in our brand new rental car which came to us smellin brand new with a whopping 400 miles on it. We ventured across the Mojave Desert. We trotted up and down the Vegas strip. We climbed the hills of San Fran alongside the trolleys and down to the wharf. We enviously watched on as the surfers in San Diego hung ten in the 40 degree waves. We did A LOT!
And I got home and realized, why not keep up the adventure and fun that we all experience on vacation?
So....here brings you up to speed on how the 30 somethings until 30 came into being.
For the first month I am trying a new whitening rinse product to see the difference it makes. I'm rinsing my mouth with water after coffee and all those different things to see what effect it has. I'm documenting it in pictures every morning. But kinda boring right?
I can't imagine that you are going to be so excited to come back to this blog and see if the Listerine is brightening my teeth enough to visibly notice! Ha ;)
Here is where I need your help.....
Post a comment, follow the blog, and see what suggestions make it to the final cuts of the next 30 something I will try for my next 30 days.
I've got a few things to commit to in my hat, but I'm curious what my amazing friends and ecletic folk will come up with.
Looking forward to the journey and seeing what comes next for the future 30..... :)
