40 Things To Do Before You’re 40 – Part 3

Inspired by new movie 'This Is 40', we're looking at 40 things you should do before you're putting 40 candles on the cake...

Rebecca McKnight

New movie ‘This Is 40’ hits Irish cinemas this week and in the sort-of sequel to ‘Knocked Up’ Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters are confronting the realities that come with life in your forties. Before you get there, we’ve compiled a list of forty things your really should do, before life begins again at the big Four-O. 

________________________

1. Go skinny-dipping, but avoid the Atlantic in winter.

2. Spend a full day in bed when you have a million things to do.

3. Make actual, real, photo albums from the many jpegs you own, laugh looking through them.

4. Live alone for a time.

5. Go on a blind date.

6. Even if you hate cooking, learn how to make one failsafe meal.

7. Treat yourself to something designer and expensive.

8. Go all out for Halloween, costumes, house décor – the lot.

9. Read one book you pretended to read for school but you really just read the cliff notes at the time.

10. Take a dance class, even if you’ve got two left feet.
