In the spirit of the June 12x30 Challenge: Try Something New (which is almost over-where did June go?) I decided to ask my June sponsors to tell us about a time they tried something new. Also, Kimi Who and The Lunchbox Diaries even went in to add a special treat-a $20 Starbucks gift card! Maybe you can try a new drink if you win?
Aqua jogging, love it don't have to worry about sweating because you are in a pool of water.
ReplyDeleteI tried learning the violin; went okay, did not get many lessons before I could not afford it.
ReplyDeleteI went to an amusement park after persuasion by the boyfriend. I was scared of all amusement park games since it's too fast too furious. But it was nice and I'd love to try again.
ReplyDeleteI try out new recipes all the time. I like creating something new that we have not had before.
ReplyDeleteI'm really getting into that a lot lately!
ReplyDeleteFun! I'm glad you tried it!
ReplyDeleteAh, doesn't it suck that money is such an issue?
ReplyDeleteSo there's a "full body fitness" class for only $4 at my local pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm determined to try it this month!
ReplyDeleteI tried Ethiopian food this weekend. Tasty, but very spicy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am currently doing the 21 Day Fix so I have been trying all kinds of new recipes!
ReplyDeleteI tried playing horseshoes the other day at the lake house... I was horrible at it, but at least I tried :)
ReplyDeleteI've been making a duvet cover and totally dragging my feet about it, like I'll do one step then take a siesta for the rest of the day. It's taken me 3 days to make this stupid thing lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway and such a wonderful group of ladies! We recently went to Turkey, which was a new experience for us. We were really nervous about the food and the culture, but it turned out to be an amazing experience! So glad that we got the courage to try it out. We were not disappointed!
ReplyDeleteSo funny the women started to do their own thing , no structure so now you make up your own so I do. I jog in place , jump up and down, tread water, try to work it, look like a fool but who cares. Maybe later that night I feel the workout, good luck have fun and keep the gossip to a minimum just saying:-)
ReplyDeleteI just got back from my first European "Vacation" traveling not for school! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried hip hop abs the other day...ouch!
ReplyDeleteWe tried fishing this weekend! Not so successful, but it was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI tried the green tea and starbucks and I am glad I did because it is my new favorite drink. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally feel Kimi. My Pinterest projects never turn out quite as expected :P
ReplyDeleteI tried hot yoga last year. So hard! (I don't even do normal yoga.) I want to get back into it, I think!
ReplyDeleteI tried mushroom (again) recently. They were okay, I think I might be growing to if not like them, tolerate them.
ReplyDeleteI tried mixing music the other day. My son gave me a crash course in his Pro Tools music software & I mixed my own song!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to try something new! I recently tried food blogging and I am so glad I did! Seriously, my site is only about 6 weeks old, so it is new to me, but I am so glad I stopped dreaming and started doing!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some awesome things at trying something new! I recently quit my job to become a full-time nanny and focus more on my blog! It has been great so far! I also am trying something new by leaving for Italy on Sunday! I will be studying abroad for a month and then backpacking for 14 days! SO anxious!

I haaaaated mushrooms growing up. Now, they are generally okay with me. Avocado is my new thing... I suddenly like it. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI keep pinning all these awesome projects and DIY house stuff thinking I'll ever be able to do it. Haha
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE working out in a pool. We took a mini vacation back in May and the hotel had a lazy river. I really enjoyed walking it against the currant. Great work out!
ReplyDeleteI'm really picky with food. I hate trying new foods! One time my friend invited me and my boyfriend over for dinner, and she had made lamb gyros. I was hesitant to try it, and even told her no at first! Once I tried it, I LOVED it. I couldn't get enough!
ReplyDeleteI tried Pilates and really like it!
ReplyDeleteI tried tuna steaks for the first time just a few weeks ago and fell in love with them!
ReplyDeleteI used to not ever try new foods, but when I married my husband, I sort of had to. He loves spicy food and I grew up eating very bland, sometimes completely unseasoned foods. So glad I tried spicy stuff because jalapeno poppers are life, yo!
ReplyDeleteYes, I LOVE Jalapeno poppers! Also it's always great to try new food.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE tuna steak! I hadn't had them until I started visiting my friend in Oregon and he cooked them for me. So good. Sadly not nearly as good when you buy fish in Utah. Blah. I hate being so far from the ocean.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I need to get my butt in gear with the exercise.
ReplyDeleteI'm not picky at all, so I don't know how it would be to be worried about what you're eating all the time. Good for you trying something new though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, and welcome to the blog community!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun, I'd love to learn how to do more with video and music editing.
ReplyDeleteI tend to stick with the foods that I like, but once I married my husband, I try new foods more often. I'm not too picky when it comes to food anymore.
ReplyDeleteI had never tried a spinning class and gave it a shot. To my surprise I really enjoyed it alot and am an avid spinner now.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I always go to Carrabba's on Saturday night and ALL the waiters know exactly what we want. One waiter, Lance, came over and instead of taking our normal order, he asked what we were going to try different. We looked at him crazy like don't you know who we are and what we always get. He smiled and let us know it was time to change So that night we GOT THE SAME THING. LOL Since then we have tried almost everything on the menu but we sill like out standby meal.....which is Chicken Bryan with sundried tomatoes and goat cheese.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I recently signed up for a food share. I didn't think I'd like it because I really don't like vegetables but it's actually forced me to try a lot of new recipes and eat healthier all while starting to like veggies a whole lot more!
ReplyDeleteMmm, that sounds amazing. I've never been to Carrabba's!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
ReplyDeletelol, I try new stuff everyday. I used to walk fine and can't anymore. Thus I can no longer do the same things. I ended up working at home, and just last night I went to my first freight auction. Never would have done that working fulltime.
ReplyDeleteI went kayaking for the 1st time a few weeks ago - it was AWESOME! No small feat when you're in a wheelchair ;)
ReplyDeleteI recently took up sewing and so far it's been fun and interesting!
ReplyDeleteI tried whale meat while on vacation in Norway. Surprisingly, I liked it but then felt really bad for eating it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Belize, I tried quite a few new foods. The craziest were gibnut and armadillo. They were both actually okay.
ReplyDeleteI tried sushi for the first time a few months back. It never appealed to me but I love it now.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering where June went too! Ah! So sad! I tried alligator for the first time the other day... lets just say I am not into eating animals like that. I didn't know what it was ahead of time! boo!
ReplyDeleteI just recently took up learning how to play the piano. Not very good yet, but practice makes perfect!

I'm trying to learn how to sew..... crafty I am not , so this is an experience.
ReplyDeleteI gave up meat about 2 years ago and I've tried a lot of new food since then. I love kale, squid, and tempeh. Never thought I would!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to cut my hair into a pixie cut and I finally took the plunge a few years ago, and loved it!
ReplyDeleteI just started watching Breaking Bad... I'm not disappointed, but I always come late to the party.. Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black, Breaking Bad.
