January 2021 Monthly Goals: An Adventure of Curiosity & Personal Growth

Dear Adventure Avenue,

This year I made five goals that I hope to accomplish by 2022. Some of these goals are curiosity based, while others are geared towards self growth or preservation. You can read more about them in this post.

I think I did pretty good for the first month of the year – though it helped that I had a lot of free time thanks to school not starting until the end of January. Here’s hoping I can continue to accomplish these goals…

Goals

  1. Track how much I actually make per month/per year using money making apps. Checkout this post to get the referral codes and links so you can follow along on this adventure.  

Checkout 51: starting $14.04 Current earnings $14.13

Ibotta: starting $4.30 Current earnings $12.23

Shopkick: starting 11 kicks ($1 = 250 kicks) Current earnings 323 kicks

Swagbucks: starting 45 swagbucks ($1 = 100 swagbucks) Current earnings 157 swagbucks

Fetch Rewards: starting 3,215 points ($1 = 1,000 points) Current earnings 3,531 points.

2. Read 12 books throughout the year. That’s a book a month.

So far this year I have read:

I loved (and highly recommend) all these books!

3. Create a Star Wars inspired quilt square once a month to create a Star Wars quilt in December or January of next year. 

So far I’ve made: 

  • A Sequel Trilogy square with Rey and BB-8
  • A Mandalorian square with Grogu!
I accidentally burned the Mandalorian helmet into the gray fabric as it’s a polyester (more plastic-y fabric), but I’m pleasantly surprised with that blunder!

4. Make 12 new recipes. 

So far I’ve made:

  • Leeks with butter and breadcrumbs (First time I ever had leeks and they were delicious!) recipe coming soon
  • Poulet au Tomate recipe coming soon

5. Take one Mental Health Monday a week. This month I did a lot of yoga through the Peloton app. I also indulged in a lovely face mask. (Que Bella Face Mask is my favorite face mask brand right now!) I slacked a bit here in the photography department!

Sincerely,

A
