This Is 30

Oh. Is this it?

Whilst many of us who have entered the next check box on forms would know, there's certain opinions that change with entering your 30s. People are buying houses, getting married, having kids, sure. But it's more than that. A spray tan is for a wedding, not for a Tuesday. Leaving the house is trakkies is fine, botox goes from something you laugh about celebrities getting to having your new doctor on speed dial. It got me thinking - what else has changed upon turning 30?
