November Activities

Print by Mint Nite Design
Organize a photoshoot. Before the weather turns unbearably cold, grab some fun props and a cool outfit, and organize a fall photoshoot! Enlist your friends as models and find a photographer-friend, or bring your tripod and have a lavish, personal photoshoot.

Start a new Thanksgiving tradition. Bake your own from-scratch pie this year, run a Turkey Trot 5K the morning of, or get your family involved in a gratitude exercise before Thanksgiving dinner.

Do creative cross-training. If you're a writer, why not try painting or knitting? Musicians, give photography a shot (see what I did there?). There are so many different ways to express yourself! Working in a medium that is outside of your usual realm can help you see your work in a totally different light, and I highly recommend it.

Participate in #Nerdvember. Nerdvember is an outfit challenge run by Set to Stunning to wear your nerdy clothing and accessories all month long! Snap a pic, post it on Instagram with the correct hashtags, and you can be entered to win awesome prizes! I'm participating, so be sure to follow to see updates.

What's your must-do for November?

These are some pretty great ideas! I plan to try and get outside more and go on some hikes!

Thanks so much! I should go on hikes - I always forget to go when it's not boiling hot outside!

I did a Turkey Trot last year and it was a lot of fun! I walked it, rather than running, though. But I did get my fastest 5K walking time! And for doing it, I got a finisher's medal and a comfy hoodie that I'm wearing right now. :)

I always walk too, running is overrated ;) My family has done one for a few years now and I haven't been able to join these past few years!

Great ideas. I was thinking of doing a Turkey Trot this year, maybe I'll give it a go.

You should totally give it a shot! It's usually the perfect weather for exercising outside (at least, here in Texas) and if you go with your family, it's a fun bonding activity. We usually walk the whole time, haha.

I like the idea of creative cross-training. It's about time I indulged my musical leanings.

I don't get a chance to play with different mediums that much, but it's seriously an amazing way to come up with new stuff for your primary medium(s)!

I definitely wanna do a photoshoot and a new tradition! Jen's parents, who we celebrate Thanksgiving with, don't really pray... As a Pagan, I do often. So I think a special tradition for just Jen and I would be awesome!

Photoshoots? Always fun!

I hope you complete all of your goals this month, or at least as many as you can!

I love this post -- and wish I'd known about Nerdvember at the beginning of the month. Maybe I'll have to try Nerdcember instead. When I saw the word "cross-training," my fear was that I was supposed to exercise (aside from my Zumba adventure, below). CREATIVE. Ah. One of these days I'm going to learn to crochet, and I'm going to make Sackboys and Sackgirls. I'll fill my house with them.
