Hello, my bucket list, friends! My favorite time of year is here, but I have some more things to say about my life in May before I move on to my summer adventures, so let’s get to it !
May 28th – I had this day off, and I got coffee and went to the park. It was a nice relaxing day off.
May 29th – On this day I worked on putting my summer bucket list game together. I love my summer notebook already. I can’t wait to see how many items I can cross off. At work I got a juice that had a fun Hot Wheels topper on it.
May 30th – On this day at work I got some fun clearance items! I got two Hello Kitty lip balms for less than a dollar each. I also got two cute bath sponges. I love finding fun items on clearance! The clarence finds were a bright spot to a challenging day. I don’t want to go into details but this day was one of the more challenging days that I’ve had in my life. I’m really glad that day is behind me now.
May 31st – On the last day of the month, I got two surprise toys. I had another challenging day but the surprise toys made it a little better.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I wanted to end the month with a fun blog post before I get to the things I love post and the very serious summer bucket list game. Yesterday, I went to Trader Joe’s, and I got free stickers and a free coloring page. The coloring page is about summer, and I had a fun time coloring it. At work recently, I got a Barbie sticker book that you can also color. I’ve put some of the stickers in it, but I have not colored it yet. I feel like I’m ending the month on a great note, and I’m so excited for summer!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I love trying and reviewing new products. Recently, I tried the orange cream cake pop from Starbucks. I’ll get right to it. This cake pop was really good. I really liked the orange flavor and the fun orange design on this cake pop. My only criticism of this cake pop is that it was a little bit too sweet, but other than that, it was really good, and I do recommend trying it!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have two fun things to talk about in this post, and I’m very happy about both of them. I don’t see the need for any more introduction, so let’s get to it!
Decorating my window , I got two sets of July 4th window decorations from my work. I know that it is still pretty far away from the 4th of July, but I decided to decorate my window anyway because I’m so excited for summer to get here! I had fun putting the gel stickers on my window. I really like the way that the stickers look. I’m probably just going to keep them up until they fall down. As summer gets closer, I get more excited!
My 9th anniversary of blogging! I knew that my anniversary was coming up this month, but I was not sure of the day. I was very happy when I saw the notification congratulating me on nine years of blogging! I’m so happy that I’m still blogging after all these years! I want to thank all of you for reading and following this blog! It’s been a lot of fun, and I can’t wait for the fun to continue!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! Recently, I went to my first concert of the year, and I’m getting super excited for the Fourth of July! I’m excited to tell you about it so here we go!
Going to my first concert of the year – It has been a while since I’ve been to concert so when I got an opportunity to go to one I was excited. My dad and I saw the band Anthem Lights at a beautiful outdoor venue. It was great to have a night out it helped to reduce my stress. It was a great night.
Fourth of July items – I’m getting very excited for summer and the Fourth of July! I’ve been buying a lot of July Fourth items. My work sells Claires Items, and I was very excited to see that our Claires display had Fourth of July items on it. I got a bunch of them. I also got some other Fourth of July products that my work sells. Yesterday, I got this really cool visor. I took some fun pictures in it at work. I can’t wait for summer to finally get here!!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I know that I just talked about slowing down in my last blog post, but right now, I’m on a mission to get caught up with my blogging. The month is going by very fast and I’m kind of ok with that because summer will be starting next month. However, I have a few things that I want to complete before summertime starts, and I’m feeling a little bit rushed, but it will be ok. I just need to work on my time management skills. Anyways with all that being said, I want to tell you about some fun things, starting with a shopping trip to my favorite place.
A shopping trip to the Dollar Tree – I recently went to my favorite local Dollar Tree location. I was super happy to see that Dollar Tree had their summer items available. I got two wooden summer craft kits and some summer decorations. I also got stickers, of course! Including these very cool scratch art stickers. I also got some super fun shark shaped floss picks.
My new Squishmallow- I love all of the fun summer items that are in stores now, including the one that I work at. I love the fourth of July holiday, and I was so happy to see some fourth of July Squishmallows in our fourth of July display. I bought the absolutely adorable Edward Eagle plush. He is super cute and super huggable. I’m so glad that I got him!
A big coloring book with lots of stickers! – There is a large coloring book at my work that I have seen many times before, but I somehow did not realize that it came with two large sheets of stickers. I was so excited when I saw all of the stickers inside. I’m happy that I finally discovered the stickers!
There you have it. Some happy little updates! I hope all of you are having happy months!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I was excited to see that Starbucks had come out with new drinks for summer! I knew I had to try one of them. I decided to try the summer refresher. I love that Starbucks went with red, white, and blue colors for their summer drinks. The thing that is different about this drink from other refreshers is that there are raspberry flavored pearls at the bottom of the drink. The refresher it’s self has an amazing flavor! It was love at first sip when it came to this drink. I took a video of myself trying this drink for the first time. You can see this video on my Instagram page. My username is summerrockstar. I didn’t finish the raspberry pearls, but I really loved this drink overall, and I recommend trying it!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to write this post because summer is very close to being here! I know I’ve been saying that for a while. However, my summer bucket list game kicks off on June 1st, aka Thursday! However, before I can move on to that, I have to wrap up the month of May, and that includes writing about this weekend, so let’s get to it. Oh, and one more thing. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, I have included Monday in this post instead of Friday. You can find my post where I talk about what I did on Friday HERE.
Saturday – I worked the closing shift on this day. However, my day got off to an early start. I started my day by going with my parents to drop off my dad’s truck at the tire shop. After dropping off his truck, we went on some errands. The first errand was the hardware store. One thing that I love about the hardware store is that they have a toy section. I got two plastic sea animals in the toy section, and I also got a squishy toy that was up by the register. Our errands also included a stop at Starbucks and a stop at Whole Foods. At whole foods, I got two boxes of my favorite fruit snacks. ( The ones that come with trading cards) After finishing our errands, I went back home for a while before going into work for the closing shift. It was a good day at work. In case I have not said it lately, I love working at a plant store!
Sunday – I had this day off, so I started the day with coffee and church. Church was good as always. Later, we had to go pick up the truck, but before that, we went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I got the same thing that I almost always get there, and that is veggie burrito. It was really good as always. After getting the truck, we went to my cousin’s house. I want to make a better effort to spend more time with people. Life gets busy, but I want to make seeing people a bigger priority. Anyways, at her house we went in the hot tub. It was good to be in the hot tub since it had been so long since I had been in a hot tub or pool. I had a good time with her and her family. Before going home, we made two stops, including Safeway. At Safeway, I got a Kinder Joy egg.
Monday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. It was Memorial Day, which is a very important day on our calendar. The morning was really foggy, so I just stayed home and relaxed until it was time for me to go to work. Before going to work, I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee. At work, I took some cute selfies with some really nice plants as the background. Memorial Day is considered in the unofficial kickoff to summer
Thanks for reading about my weekend! – Christina Epperly

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I love drinking sparkling water and Waterloo is one of my favorite brands. when I was in Whole Foods I saw that they had a new Summer Berry flavor and I just had to try it! So without further delay let’s get into the review!
Waterloo Summer berry flavor review
I have to start out by saying that I love the name of this flavor. Summer is my favorite time of year and I love food and drinks that are fruit flavored. When I first took a sip of this drink it reminded me off a vitamin C powder that I have tasted before. I wasn’t a huge fan of the new flavor at first to be honest with you but it grew on me after a while. The Cherry and strawberry Waterloos are still my favorites but I would still recommend giving this flavor a try it may just become your favorite flavor.
