My first mall trip of 2025 !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.

February 26th 2025

I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!

Exploring a used book store and visiting my storage unit

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month, I went to a local used book store. I also went to my storage unit. I dont know if I’ve ever talked about my storage unit on my blog before, but I’m proud of it, and I’m excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!

Used book store 2/18/25 – 2/19/25

I found out that there was a used book store by our local library. I also found out that the prices were all around 1 or 2 dollars. I first went on the 18th. I was so excited when I saw all the American Girl books that they had, including some from when I was a kid ! They were only a dollar each ! I also got a Breyer horse book. I did have to go to work, so I didn’t get to look around as much as I would have liked to, so I went back the next day, and I got a few more books! I’m excited to continue visiting this book store !

My storage unit – 2/17/25

On this day, I went to visit my storage unit because I had some more items I wanted to put in it. I was excited to go there and see my large teddy bear again. It was actually a bucket list item to get her, but since she is a large bear, it was better for her to live in my storage unit than my messy room ! If I ever get my own place, hopefully I will have enough room for all my collections, but for now, I’m proud that I’ve collected so many items that they have to have there own place. I don’t seem to achieve the same milestones that others do, and that’s not on purpose. However, it is what it is, so. I’m going to take my wins where I can get them. I’m happy to say that I’m an expert at collecting, and I’m also a proud maximalist! Having a storage unit was not on my bucket list, but having one makes me feel like I crossed off a bucket list item!

I’m very happy to say that I’m a Mets fan now!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! Something exciting happened to me recently. I became a fan of the New York Mets. I have a friend who is a Mets fan, and I told him that I would join him in being a fan on the team. I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the team. After reading about the team, I felt very connected to them. They are a quirky team that are often thought of as being underdogs. I felt like I could really relate to them. My friend got me a Mets hat and I love wearing it! I’m also planning to go see a game when they come close to where I live. It happened so quickly, but I’m 100% a Mets fan even though I’ve never really been interested in baseball before. That has all changed, and now I find myself thinking about baseball and the Mets a lot! I’m going to be adding some new items to my bucket list soon, and I’m going to add some Mets related items! I guess the only other thing I have to say is Go Mets !!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Christina Epperly

A fun friend day in February

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Even though I have not crossed off any bucket list items this month, I consider this month to be a successful one because I got to see a friend. As I get closer to the middle of my 30s it gets seem like it gets more difficult to see my friends and to be social in general so if I get to see a friend one day out of the month I feel successful in being a somewhat social person. Now that I have made a very long introduction to this post, let’s get to the post. Here we go

February 11th 2025

I had work on this day but I left my house early so I would have time with my friend before it was time in clock in. we met at my favorite local thrift store because we both enjoy thrift shopping. I got some toys and art supplies. After thrift shopping we went to a local coffee shop and we had a good conversation while we enjoyed our drinks. Before we went to lunch, we stopped by one of my favorite toy stores. I got a package that had surprise toys in it, and I also got a box with three squishy toys in it. After the toy store we went to lunch. lunch was really good and we also got to talk to each other more before I had to go to work. I’m so thankful that I got to spend time with my friend!

Thank you so much for reading!

Stencil art ,celebrating Valentines day and two trips to my favorite party supplies store.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month is flying by, and I feel like I have not had time to slow down and blog until now. We already had our major holiday this month so I thought I would write about that and I also did some fun stencil art this month that I wanted to highlight along with two trips to my favorite party store. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it.

2/06/2025 – A trip to the party store and stencil art

I had this day off from work, and I did a few of my favorite things. The first fun thing I did on this day was going shopping at my favorite party supplies store. I was going here to get Valentine’s Day items because Valentine’s Day was coming up soon. When I got to the store, I saw some great Valentines Day items. Some of my favorite items that I got were Valentines Day stickers and stencils. I also got some rubber ducks. Later that day, I used the stencils that I got to make a fun Valentines Day picture. That I finished the next day. I love the way my stencil art turned out.

2/14/2025

On Valentines Day, I had to work, but I did not let that stop me from celebrating. I had gotten my parents a Valentines Day card. I also got little Valentines Day cards that came with candy, and I gave them to my co workers. On my break, I bought myself some Valentines Day gifts, including a rose that came with a plush bear and mug that came with a bear and chocolates. If you don’t have someone to buy you Valentine’s Day gifts, you can always buy it for yourself!

2/15/2025

The day after Valentines Day, I went back to my favorite local party store. I got some bags of surprise toys ,stickers and Barbie glasses ,a big rubber duck, and more! I’ve been going to this same store since I was a child. I have lots of good memories of that store, and I think that is a big reason why I still get excited to go there even though I’m in my 30s. Plus, the store looks pretty much the same as it did when I was younger. Including my favorite section has boxes filled with toys. The pencil display is also the same as it used to be. I hope this store stays there forever!

Thanks for reading about some of my February adventures!
