A thrift shopping adventure , fun at the mall and my first movie of summer 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. My summer has been very fun so far but also very busy, so I’m putting a few of my early summer adventures into one blog post. To help myself get caught up with all the blog posts I want to write. Also, I want to mention that I’m off to great start on my summer bucket list game.

June 5th, 2024

On this day, I went to my favorite local thrift store. There were a lot of Barbie dolls there , and that is something that I like to see. I got a few Barbie dolls, and of course, I was very happy about that. I was also very happy about the Lisa Frank tanktop that I found. I got a lot of other great items, including a box of beads, stickers, TY Beanie Babies, and a book about horses. It was a very good thrift shopping trip!

On this day I went to the mall. The first thing I did was go to Target and pick up the order that I had made. I was excited to pick up my summer craft kit! After that, I went and got a much needed massage. Since I was at the mall, I went to Claire’s, and I got some fun stuff from the clearance section. Before leaving the mall, I went to the food court. I ate at the Taco Bell cantina. I got a slushy in one of those super long cups. It was a successful mall trip, and I love days like this one.

This day, I went to the movies with my amazing friend! We saw the movie Garfield, and it was cute. We both enjoyed it. We also went to Panera Bread for lunch! It was another great summer day. I also went shopping at work because it was a special discount day.

My summer is going great so far, and I hope yours is too!

Starburst Goodies review

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list, friends! I’m always on the lookout out for fun things to review, so I was excited when I saw that Starburst had vegan gummy candy that was low in sugar. I’m a vegetarian, so I try to avoid gelatin, and that can make your candy choices limited. I’m just gonna say it. Starburst goodies are good. I wouldn’t say that this is the best candy ever, but it is a good candy. Goodies are a good choice if you’re looking for a low sugar candy.  I’ve already gotten two bags, and I see myself getting more. The gummies are a good size, but there are not a lot of them in a bag. However, I still recommend giving this fun gummy candy a try!

The summer oath and my summer notebook

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start!

For this summer I made a summer notebook. In the notebook I will keep track of my summer bucket list game and my other summer adventures. I think keeping a summer notebook is a great idea and I hope to inspire others to keep a summer notebook as well. I also wrote a summer oath that is basically a vow to enjoy the summertime. You can find the summer oath below as well as pictures of my summer notebook! I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

The summer oath

I _______________________________ vow to enjoy this summer to the fullest extent possible

I promise to have fun, explore, go on adventures and try new things.

I also promise to be safe, to be kind and to always use commonsense

I vow to value every day that this summer has to offer because I know that it will be over very quickly.

I acknowledge that summer is a special time of year where fun, adventure, relaxation, and exploration are put into the spotlight.

I vow to honor the legacy and history of summertime by living each beautiful summer day to the fullest

Signed ___________________ Summer of ________________

Have a beautiful summer!

Love, Christina Epperly
