My review of Hersheys milklicious chocolate bar

Hello, my bucket list friends. I have another candy review for you. When I see a new product, I almost instantly think I have to review that for my blog! When I saw this chocolate bar, I had the same thought . The most exciting thing about this candy is that it shaped like cow faces! The taste is good, and I feel like the filling made it easier to eat but did not change the taste much. If you love chocolate, I would recommend that you try this.

Sun catcher art kit fun

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I bought a bunch of fun things from my work. However, in this blog post, I want to highlight the sun catcher art kit that I got. Well, it’s actually a window art kit because there is another project included in the kit, but I only did the sun catcher part of this kit. I actually still have two more sun catchers left to paint in this kit. I chose to paint three of the very cute sun catchers in this kit. The paint that came with this kit worked really well. I loved the variety of colors that are included. The three sun catchers that I painted looked amazing when I finished painting them. I was very happy with how they turned out. I was happily surprised by the overall quality of this kit. I also really liked that there were suction cups included in the to make it easy to display the sun catchers. This was a great art project to do on my day off. I hope you are having a beautiful week.

Play-Doh smoothie play set fun

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Recently, I bought a Play-Doh smoothie play set from my work. I love using Play-Doh, and I find it very relaxing. I also like seeing the different kinds of playsets that they come up with. This playset was fun to use, but the blender part was somewhat difficult. I really liked the molds that came with the kit. There we so many fun fruit shapes. I will use those again for sure. The Play-Doh smoothies I made were super cute, and I am overall happy with this kit, and I’m excited to see what kind of Play-Doh playset I will write about next!

Candle holder art kit fun!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I got out one of the many art kits that are in my room. This art kit is a little different from the ones that I had done in the past because instead of coloring wood, paper, or foam, I was coloring a ceramic LED candle holder. This kit came with three ceramic markers. The markers did have a strong smell to them, but they worked as expected. I chose to cover my turtle shaped LED candle holder with little dots and marks, but I did fully color the turtle’s head. I enjoyed doing this craft kit, and I would recommend it. It was simple and relaxing, and I wish there were more craft kits like this. I don’t see them very often at all. I got this one at a local toy store, but I’m sure you could easily find them online.

Lots of clearance shopping and buying new seasonal items

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As some of you know, I work at Walgreens. One of my favorite sections of the store is the seasonal isle. Right now, there are some big changes going on in the seasonal isle. The Christmas items are on clearance, and the Valentines Day items are being put on the shelves. We are also putting out more outdoor toys. I have done my fair share of clearance shopping. I’m surprised at how many times are left. I’ve gotten some great clearance items, including a gel timer and surprise toys that also come with candy, a leopard print tumbler, a bucket of fake snow that has toys inside, nail stickers, GooToobz toys, a Squishmallow hooded blanket, and a drawing game. I’ve also been getting some of the new seasonal items. I got some Valentine’s Day Pez dispensers, a bucket of outdoor toys, and a squishy toy shaped like an ice cream cone. I’m excited to see what seasonal items will be on the shelves next! Have you bought any clearance items this year?

KitKat chocolate frosted donut review

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another food review. When I saw this new KitKat flavor, I was excited to try and review it. You can find a video of me reviewing it on my Instagram. ( summerrockstar) I did enjoy this KitKat flavor they did a good job of getting the donut/ cake flavor into the candy. However, I kept tasting maple for some reason. I’m not quite sure why. I’m curious if anyone else tasted hints of maple like I did or if it was just me. Overall this is a good candy that is worth trying but it is very sweet.

Bucket list #257 read 50 books in a year!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve already mentioned that I crossed read 50 books in a year off of my bucket list . However, I wanted to highlight this item in its own post. I started working on this item at the beginning of last year, but as it got closer to the end of the year, I realized I needed to really focus on it if I wanted to cross it off. I bought a bunch of short children’s books to help me with this goal. I’m happy to say that I was able to read enough books to cross this item off of my list! I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I cross an item of my list, and this item was no different . It was a good item to end the year with. I’ve already started working on reading a hundred books, so I can cross it off this year. What books do you plan on reading this year?

A new squishmallow and another trip to the mall!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It’s January, but stores are getting for Valentine’s Day. That includes the store where I work. I was very happy when I saw that we had some Valentine’s Day Squishmallows out. I chose a cat squishmallow that is holding a heart. She is super cute, and I was very excited to bring her home with me. Yesterday, I went to the mall for the 2nd time this year. The main reason I went was to get a massage, but I also stopped by Claire’s. I got some cute hair bows and other hair accessories. I also got two bracelets. I feel good overall about how this year has started.

The end of 2023 and the start of 2024

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is great to be here in 2024! I wanted to write a quick post about how 2023 ended for me and how 2024 started. The time between Christmas and New Years is kind of weird. However, I was able to do some fun things during that time. I went to the Goodwill where I got some books, a Barbie horse with saddle, and two Barbie dolls that I believe are from the 90s. Right after that, I went to Target, where I got a bunch of bath bombs on sale , a Pez dispenser, a Kinect Sand playset, and two rubber ducks. There was also a day when I went to brunch with my sister and after that I went to the Dollar Tree. At the Dollar Tree, I got some fun items blind bag toys, and some Valentine’s Day items. On the last day of the year, I went to church, Target, Burger King, and my friends house, where we celebrated the new year. It was hard to stay up, but we did it! The next day, we ended up going to the mall it was a great way to start the new year. Since the new year has started, things have been pretty much the same. Recently, I got a Squishmallow at work that was on sale for a dollar. I also got a notebook and gel pens. I am looking forward to the adventures that I will have this year. I pray that all of you have a happy and safe new year!
