March moments including my hair cut! ( and a fun life update)

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! It is time to start my blog posts about March. I’m going to try to blog as much as possible this month. Even though my life has gotten busier since I got a 2nd job! I’m so excited to say that I’m going to be working as a massage therapist again. It took a good amount work to get my massage licence in order and then it was even more work to get my resume and cover letter ready. However, it all paid off. I was very blessed that I was able to get hired quickly. I’m very happy that I decided to go back into the field of massage therapy. I’m also very excited that summer is coming soon. However, for now it’s time to tell you about some of my March highlights including a much needed haircut.

March 2nd – On the 2nd day of the month I went for a walk in a local park. While I was at the park I went on the playground and I took some fun selfies. I still think playgrounds are fun even in my 30’s. There is something so fun and nostalgic about playgrounds. I’m glad I was able to go to the park on this day. I also went to CVS and I got some fun Items including Valentine’s day clearance items. I also got some Easter items as well. I love the craft kits and the bag of Easter toys that I got . I also got this super cute fuzzy bunny notebook. I also got coffee on this day.

March 3rd – On this day I went to Target . I mainly went to get the book Just Friends. I was so happy that I was able to get it. I also got some Joy Ride candy , two craft kits, a bag of popper toys, and a large Crayola Scribble Scrubby. It was a great day for a great Target run!

March 4th – On this day I got a very very very cute frog cake pop ! I miss the frog cake pops !

March 5th – on this day I went to Safeway. I got some surprise toys, a pack of Barbie surprise eggs, and more! I also went to Trader Joe’s and I got some fun stickers. It was a pretty normal day but it was a pretty good day .

March 7th – I did a lot on this day. I went to work , Then I went to Walgreens. I got some fun things at Walgreens. My favorite thing that I got was a peeps bead kit. I also got some toys on clearance and my favorite body wash. I also went to my favorite used book store. I got some good books on this day including three American Girl books. Then I met my friend we went to one of my favorite local toy stores where I got a fun set that included squishy toys and stationary items. Then my friend and I went to eat and then we went thrift shopping. It was so good to spend time with my friend. Life is so busy that often times it hard to find time to spend with friends so I’m always very happy when it works out. At the thrift store I got some stickers and more. I also went to eat with my parents on this day. It was a really awesome day !

March 9th – On this sunny day I went to the Dollar Tree and I got some fun Easter items . I love the set of erasers that I got. I also got a cute tooth brush and a fun Easter craft kit. I love going to the Dollar Tree I wish I had one just a little closer to me.

March 12th – This was the day I got my hair cut! I had been growing my hair out and it had gotten to be pretty long. It was also very hard to care for. I have thick hair and that can be difficult to manage. Also for work I had to have it pulled back so I could not think of a reason it keep it long anymore. I went to great clips and I was very happy with the results! My hair is about shoulder length now and it is much easier to take care of and it is also super cute ! I’m very happy that I decided to get my hair cut. After my haircut I went to CVS. I wanted to get this big box of Easter toys that I had seen online. I did get the box of easter toys but I also got more. Including more Valentine’s day clearance items and some easter items. After CVS I got coffee. This was a fun day!

March 13th – On this day I painted a sloth suncatcher ! I love doing fun and simple art projects like this . I also went on a walk and I took a my new axolotl toy that I had gotten the day before at CVS with me.

March 14th – On this day I went to Walmart . I went to get some Easter items and that is what I did . I love the tube of squishy duck toys that I got. I also got a necklace, scratch art, a bead kit, a coloring book , an egg with squishy toys inside and more! That night I went to dinner. This was a fun day.

Thank you so much for reading about some of the simple moments that made the first part of March special.

The rest of my August 2025 adventures including my 35th birthday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m so excited to finally wrap up my main posts about August 2025. Of course I will do a things I love post after this . One of my goals is to finish writing about last summer before we get to summer 2026 and it looks like that’s going to happen! Probably the biggest highlight of this post is my 35th birthday. I’ll write more about it below but I was so scared to turn 35 and now I’m scared to turn 36. The truth is, as you get older time does not slow down. As a matter of fact it feels like it speeds up. Sometimes I look back and I wonder where the time went. I was 24 years old when I started this blog. And that seems like such a long time ago now. I’ve gone on so many bucket list adventures since then. I would probably have a hard time believing myself if I traveled back in time and told my 24-year-old self that some of her big bucket list dreams like meeting Alice Cooper , going to the mall of America, and going to Disney World would all come true but that the big life events that seem to just happen to most people would not happen so easily for her.  I know this introduction has been much longer than normal, but sometimes I just have a lot of thoughts swirling around in my and it helps to write them down. Also, sometimes I feel like my blog is not as personal as it used to be so it’s good for me to be open and honest. Even if it makes for a very long introduction. With all that being said, I think it’s finally time to write about the last of the adventures I had in August of 2025.

August 17th – On this day I went to Safeway and I got something really cool. That really cool thing was a sticker book. Stickers have this way of bringing me joy. I love the pictures I took on this day of me holding the sticker book outside in the sunshine.

August 18 – on this day I took some very cute pictures of my cat Cooper. The look on his face is pretty priceless. His beautiful blue eyes just look gorgeous.  I also went to work at Walgreens where I worked at the time. While I was there I bought some fun wind-up toys. It was a simple but good summer day. Oh yeah and I also got coffee on this day.

August 19th – this was another day of working at Walgreens. But I did get a planner and a calendar that came with stickers on clearance. I love finding items on clearance!

August 20 – I did one of my favorite things on this day. I went shopping at Target. On this Target trip I got some fun items including a Barbie Play-Doh accessory set, A Bookmark art kit, a pack of markers, and a Crayola activity set that included stickers. I also got coffee and went to work on this day.

August 22nd – This was a work day however while I was at work bought some stickers. ( yay for stickers!) I also bought a bubble set. ( yay for bubbles! )

August 23rd – I went to Barnes and Noble on this day! I got two American Girl books, a Barbie book, stickers , erasers shaped liked ice pops, and a coloring book that came with markers. I was supposed to have the day off but I got called into work. At work I got this cute toy. It was a pretty good summer day.

August 25th – This was my last day to be 34. I was nervous to turn 35. I’m beyond thankful for every year that I’m blessed with but sometimes I feel like I have not accomplished enough and that makes me very uncomfortable. However, on this day I had some little bits of joy that made the day a little bit better. I went to Starbucks I got a coffee and a cake pop. I got the birthday cake pop since it was the day before my birthday. At work I got a set of soda flavored lip gloss. I also got a very cute squishmallow!

August 26 – This was the day that I tuned 35 ! At midnight a took a shot of whiskey. Having a drink at midnight is kind of a tradition of mine. I may not have felt ready to turn 35 but the day was here so decided to enjoy it and be thankful for the day. I celebrated the day by doing a few of my favorite things. I started my activities with a trip to a ceramics painting studio. I had a fun time painting a flamingo. I also went to TJ Maxx and Target. At TJ Maxx I got a lot of cute hair bows, a Squishmallow notebook, bear shaped crayons , a axolotl activity set and more. At Target I got the Squishmallow pillow that I had been wanting. I also got a Squishmallow bead kit, a set of rings, hair bows , stickers, and more! I went to Safeway and I chose a carrot cake as my birthday cake. That evening I went to eat at one of my favorite local places. I love the pizza there. I also love the arcade that they have. I got some cute prizes at the vending machines in the arcade. I also got a birthday win from the Mets! It was an amazing birthday.

August 27th – On this day I went to dinner with a friend. We went to a fancy place and I had a fun time taking pictures there. It felt like the restaurant was made to take photos in. The food was also good too.

August 29th – This day was employee shopping day at work. That means that employees get to shop with a larger discount than usual. I got stickers, ( including a set of mini sticker books. ) A fidget toy, and a Squishmallow building block set. I also got some snacks. It was a good employee shopping day.

August 30th – I took this day off of work because Labor Day weekend is one of the worst weekends for traffic and crowds. I knew work would be too stressful for me to handle so I requested the weekend off in advance. I did a cute foam dog craft project at home. I did go into town because I needed to pick up the art pieces that my mom and I had painted on my birthday. I made a stop at a nearby toy store and I got some color changing lizard toys and another squishy toy. Of course I got coffee as well. While I was in town I went to Safeway and I got ice cream before going back home. I was sad that summer was ending but at least I got to do some fun things on this day.

August 31 – This day was sad for me because it was the last day of August. This was the last day for me to cross things off my summer bucket list. The traffic was also very bad on this day. Beach traffic is one of my least favorite things in the world. I’m convinced that going to the beach is one of the most overrated things in the world. Anyways, I did make a quick stop to the Dollar Tree on this day. My favorite thing that I got was a package of shoe charms. I also got some beads, gel pens, crayons, a coloring book and more. I also went to starbucks and Trader Joe’s while I was out . I got stickers at Trader Joe’s. I love getting free stickers there. The big thing I did on this day was that I finished my summer 2025 drawing. I love my tradition of drawing a summer picture.

Thank you for reading about some of my August adventures!

Love, Christina Epperly

life at the end of February 2026

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I know I’ve been going back and forth between writing about this year and last year but I decided to write my two main posts about February back to back. I feel like I’m getting more caught up that way by finishing the main part of my February posts first. However after this post I will write another post about August . Now ,that you know my blogging schedule let’s dive into this blog post about life at the end of February.

2/21- On this day I went to Safeway. I got some Barbie surprise eggs. These eggs have cool Barbie themed items inside. I also got a coloring craft kit there. I also went to Walgreens I got some cute duck toys and a squishy toy craft kit. This was a good February day . It was also a beautiful sunny day.

2/22 – I did two art projects on this day! The first project was a simple coloring craft kit. I had fun coloring a cute wooden caterpillar. I love that there were different patterns to color on the craft and not just circles. I love how colorful this craft looked when I was done. This was a very simple craft but I really enjoyed it. The 2nd craft kit that I did was a foam ice cream craft. My favorite part of this kit was the sparkly sprinkles. I had fun sticking them on the ice cream project. Later that day I went to Safeway again and I got a fun package of Easter stickers. I’m happy that I had time to be creative on this day.

2/24 – On this day I went to work. My highlight of my work day was getting to have a cannonball drink. However, After work I finally did something that I had been wanting to do for a long time. I finally applied to be on reality TV. I have no idea if my application will go anywhere. However, I feel good that I was finally brave enough to record a short video and submit it. Even if I never hear back I’m glad I did this.

2/26 on this day I went to the mall and I got a much needed massage. I also went shopping at Claire’s. My favorite thing that I got at Claire’s was a hat with bows on it. I also got some bracelets and earrings there .While I was at the mall I went to The Hallmark store and I got a bunch of stickers. Hallmark is a great place to find cute stickers. I also went to the Target that was attached to the mall. I got some JoyRide candy , erasers shaped like different kinds of food, and more. I also went to Taco Bell in the food court. I put my order under the name Alice because I’m a huge Alice Cooper fan and sometimes it’s fun to use a different name. This was a really good day.

2/27 – This day I got to do something really awesome. I got to see my amazing friend Amy. We went to a bunch of different places including a book store , a toy store , CVS, and Togos. I bought some fun items on this day including a coloring book that came with crayons and stickers, a sheet of animal stickers, a pack of Easter toys, a set of bracelets and more. However, the best part of the day was getting to spend time with Amy. It is a lot harder to spend time with your friends than it should be. I love it when I get time to see a friend so this day was a great day.

2/28 – This was the last day of the month. I went to Walgreens I got some fun Easter Items including a pack of Easter toys and some puffy Peeps stickers. After that I went to Trader Joes. I got a box of my mango bars but I also go some stickers and a coloring page. I ended this short month on a high note.

Thanks for reading about more of mt February moments.

Love, Christina Epperly.
