Painting a colorful unicorn

Hello, my bucket list friends! I want to tell you about my latest painting fun. I painted a unicorn that I got from my Walmart instacart order.  I chose bright and bold colors to paint my unicorn. I love making colorful art, and my unicorn looked great once I finished painting it. I hope all of you are making time to do something you enjoy.

Hershey’s kisses rainbow brownie review

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is now time for a candy review! When I first saw Hershey’s kisses rainbow brownie flavor, I was very interested in trying it. The thing that excited me the most about this flavor was the rainbow sprinkles. In addition to being colorful and beautiful, the sprinkles added a fun crunch. I really liked the soft brownie center of the candy. This candy was a fun twist on the classic Hersheys kisses candy. I loved this candy and I would buy it again.

Barbie Olipop soda review

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It’s time for another product review! This time, I’m reviewing Barbie peaches and cream soda. I was so excited when I saw this soda at the grocery store. I did not even know that it existed. When I sat down to try it, I was not disappointed. It had a sweet and upbeat flavor. It was really easy to dink, and I think that this soda will be very popular. Plus, the can has a super cute design, and it will make a good addition to anyone’s Barbie collection.

Thanks for reading this review!

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! In this blog post, I’m going to tell you about some of my favorite things that have happened recently. Including a trip to my favorite local thrift store! Now, let’s get to it

April 9th – This was the day I went to my favorite local thrift store. I love getting books here, but I only got one book this time. It’s a guided journal that I have already started writing in. I did not find a lot of books but I did find a lot of other things including a build a bear plush, a Target dog plush, stickers, a bag of letter beads, a Pez dispenser, a Hot Wheels airplane, a zipper pouch with a very cute design, and a Barbie DVD. It was also a very sunny day when I went thrift shopping. I also stopped by my favorite candy store, and I got a Peeps pop-up lollypop that was on sale.

April 10th – On this day, I got a Walmart delivery with Instacart. I got a lot of great items, including bath bombs, Barbie dolls, stickers , paint, a painting craft kit, markers, and coloring pages. I don’t do it very often, but I love getting Instacart deliveries. I love the wide variety of items that you can choose from. I love all the stickers that I was able to get! The sticker book that I got is really cool. I also love the sparkly heart stickers.

April 11th – It was another beautiful sunny spring day. I got outside and enjoyed it, but I also had to go inside and do my taxes. I dread doing my taxes, so when It was finished. I ordered Panera Bread through Uber Eats. I got my favorite veggie sandwich and a large cup of much needed hazelnut coffee. I love Panera Bread’s hazelnut coffee.

April 12th, on this day, I finished painting the shark that I had gotten in my Instacart order. I love how it looks!

Other things !

Buying cool stuff from work – I’ve gotten a lot of things from work lately. I know that is not very surprising since I always do that! However, there are new summer items out at my work. I love the toy fishing game that I got. Some other items that I have gotten lately are Hot Wheel cars, Sharpie pens , scented markers, a toy taco that comes with squishy toys, and chocolate that comes with toys.

April 2024 so far

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It has come to my attention that I have not blogged in a little bit, and I feel the need to make a blog post even though I do not have a lot to say right now. anyways, I thought I would write about the highlights of my month so far, so let’s get to it!

I’ve been enjoying some sunny days – It is sunny outside as I write this. I have been enjoying the comfort that the sunshine gives me. My cat Cooper has been enjoying it, too.

I’ve done a lot of shopping at work . All of the Easter items are on sale, so I have been getting a lot of them this month. On Saturday, I got a cactus themed Easter basket that came with stickers , a cute cactus plush, and other items. Some other items I’ve gotten this month include a sticker book, mini backpacks with fun items inside, Pez dispensers, a plastic lollypop that has squishy toys inside, and two light up toys one is Peeps themed the other is a cute bug. We have started to put out the summer items at my work, and I’m super excited about that. Last night, I bought some reusable ice cubes, but they are not regular cube shaped ice cubes. They are in the shape of fun tropical things like flamingos and pineapples!

The last week of March 2024

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’ve gotten a little bit behind on my blog posts, so I’m going to do one big blog post to catch up before we review the month of march 2024. I’m going to start with Monday, March 25th, so let’s get to it!

Monday March 25th – On this day I got paid and I also went to work. At work, I bought a bunch of Easter stuff, including a bunny shape basket. It seems like we have holiday items for a long time and as it get closer to whatever holiday they start selling out all of a sudden. I remember there being a good amount of baskets left on this day. Then, not very long after this, we had little to no baskets left. One of the best pieces of advice I can give you as a retail worker is buy seasonal items as soon as you can, especially if you lived in an overpopulated area like I do.

Tuesday, March 26th – Another work day, but it was a nice day. I love the pictures that I took before work in the sunshine. I also bought a Squishmallow on this day because it was on sale and it is super cute.

Wednesday, March 27th – Another work day, but I went to Safeway before walking over to work. At Safeway, I got juice that comes with toys. I also opened up a surprise toy that I had at home on this day. You can see the video of me opening it on my Instagram. ( summerrockstar) I was surprised that the toy was so cute! Opening a cute toy before work is a good way to put you in a good mood . before you start your shift.

Thursday, March 28th – I had this day off. I opened up some surprise egg toys that I had been meaning to open. In order to get to the surprise inside of the egg, you had to use tools to dig the toys out of the eggs. it was messy but fun. The thing that I was most excited about on this day was going to Target. I decided to do a pick-up order to save time. There were a lot of items that you could order through the target app, but I could not see what items were in the dollar section. When it was time to pick up my order after making a stop for coffee, I went into Target. I went to the dollar section before going to pick up my order. I saw many cute items in the dollar section. I ended up getting some fidget toys, including two very cute jellyfish toys that I made a video about. You can also see that on my Instagram. I also got a Barbie notebook and a package of bath crayons before going to pick up my order. In my order, I got food, but I also got some fun items, including craft kits, bath bombs, stickers, and a coloring book. While I was picking up my order, I noticed some Target stickers at the pick-up counter. I asked if I could have some, and I was so happy when the employee handed me a few stickers. Later that day, I went with my mom to an event at her work it was a great day off.

Friday, March 29 – I had work on this day, and I knew that this day may be one of my last chances to buy Easter

I bought a bunch of items but not just Easter items. I bought a mini backpack that comes with stickers and other items, a set of hairbows, surprise toys, and more. I LOVE the bunny plush I got on this day! It is so cute! I loved bunnies as a kid, and holding this plush bunny reminded me of that. I decided since I got so many items today that I would not buy any items at work the next day, but as you will see, things did not go according to plan.

Saturday, March 30th – I had work on this day, but I woke up kind of early to go to an appointment with my mom, and then we went to get coffee. I did not have until later in the day, so we went home for a while. I was having a good day. I got to see some of my neighbors, and that was nice. I also used my new bath crayons in the shower. Before work, I went to Safeway. At Safeway, I got some things for lunch. I also got my favorite fruit snacks that have trading cards with them. I also got more juices that come with toys. Since it was the day before Easter, I got some cookies to share with my coworkers. I was in a really good mood when I git to work. Unfortunately, my good mood did not stay. My work was beyond busy! It was very overwhelming, and dealing with some people in the public can be very challenging . Today was a very challenging day. I ended up buying some toys to give me so temporary joy. I was very stressed when the day ended.

Sunday, March 31st – I also had work on this day, but I started my Sunday the way I start a lot of my Sundays. I went and got coffee and I went to church. Church was good but It was very busy because it was Easter. After church, there was a potluck. After church, I went home and took a nap before going to work. I got coffee before work. Work was very slow, but it was nice compared to the day before. I did buy a few things at work, including this really awesome detangling hair brush, and that was my last day of March 2024!
