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.

There was also a road trip to Northern California , my mall weekend tradition, going to two Mets games, celebrating July 4th , going to Idaho, seeing the Dallas Cowboys practice at training camp, celebrating my birthday and , so much more! I’m blessed that I got to have so many fun adventures during the summer of 2025. I could go on about all of the fun I had during this summer. I went swimming , went shopping at some of my favorite places , went to the zoo, crossed off some bucket list items , and spent time with some of my favorite people.
