Thrift shopping, fun with friends, stickers, and so much more !

Hello, my bucket list, friends! April is going by so fast, and due to that, I decided to do one big blog post to get caught up on this month’s adventures! I’ve already had two friend hangouts this month, and that is rare for me, but I welcome it very much! I also went to Savers, got some stickers and other items from Micheals delivered, got two 1990s Barbie dolls, and did some at work shopping. However, that’s not all I have to write about, so with all that being said, let’s dive into my April 2025 adventures so far.

April 3rd – On this day, I went to Safeway on my lunch break, and I got some of those surprise capsules that have foam animals  inside. At work, I got a Hello Kitty chalk set that comes with a stencil. It was a pretty normal day, but it was a good day to get some fun items.

April 4th –  This was another day of at work shopping. I got two fun Squishmallow building sets, a fluffy bunny notebook, a bag of bouncy balls, a bunny garland ,a hairbrush ,mints, and roller chalk. It was a good day to get a few more fun items from work.

April 5th – On this day I got a delivery from Instacart. I ordered some fun items from Michaels, including two sticker books and a little art set. I also got some sport stickers and a Squishmallow slime set. I like like being able to get items delivered while I am at work. Getting some fun items delivered made my work day a little more fun!

April 8th – On this day I did two of my favorite things. I saw a friend and I went thrift shopping. This friend hangout was not planned but my friend happened to be in the same area as my work. I worked a different shift than I normally do so my lunch was earlier than normal. My friend and I went to Subway on my lunch break . It was wonderful to get to spend sometime with one of my very favorite people. Having a good conversation with my friend was something that I really needed. It is so easy for life to get busy and that can make it is hard to slow down and enjoy the best things in life like having a conversation with a friend. Having lunch with my friend on this day was truly a blessing. After work I took an Uber to Savers. I had not been to Savers in a while so I was happy to get the chance to go again. However ,it was a little overwhelming when I got there because it was so busy. It was a weekday but I live in a very crowded area so even the weekdays can be very busy. However, I was still able to get some great items even with all the crowds. My favorite item that I got was a vintage Barbie book. I also got a Barbie doll , a Squishmallow that still had a tag, a Squishmallow clip, a bag that had some stickers in it, two art kits, a large sticker book , and a shirt. It was an overall good trip to Savers but I hope I can go to a less crowded place the next time I got thrift shopping.

April 9th – I had this day off. I met another one of my favorite people for lunch. It had been a while since I had seen this friend so I was very excited to get to catch-up with her and to have some good food together. While we were walking around after lunch, I saw a doll store. I just had to go inside. I got two 90s Barbie dolls that were still in the box. I also got some doll clothes and some American Girl stickers! It was a really great day off. I wish I could hang out with my friends every week.

April 10th – On this day I got a Crayola Colourwhirl . I had seen this online and I really wanted one. I was not planning on getting one on this day. However the hardware store that I was in just happened to have them. I got the green one because green is my favorite color. I’m happy that I got one!

local shopping , a Target trip, and a Barbie Easter bundle

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is so crazy how fast this month is going by and as always I feel like I don’t have a enough time to blog but as always I will make time. I recently had a day off where I went to a book store and I went to Target. Also I recently visited my favorite local thrift store. I can’t wait to tell you about all this and more so let’s get to it.

Thrift store and toy store

3/11/25- On this day, I left the house early, and I went into town. First, I went to my favorite local thrift store.  I got a few cool things like a Squishmallow and a hat that looks really good on me. I also got these really cool snap-on dots that you can put on your clothes. After getting coffee, I went to the toy store where I got a squishy toy and a sheet of surfboard stickers.

Book store and Target

3/12/25- I had this day off. It was a rainy day, but I still made the most of it. After getting  coffee, I went to my new favorite book store . All the books are 1 or 2 dollars. I got some books from the city spies series, a book about arts and craft projects, and my favorite book that I got from this book store trip was a Barbie book that came with a bunch of cute stickers and a poster! After the book store I went to Target.  I had an order to pick up there, but I also stopped by the dollar spot where I got some cute things, including spring themed duck toys! In my pick-up order, I got some regular everyday items that I needed, but I also got some fun items like bath bombs with prizes and an art kit. However, my favorite item I got was the golden egg hunt by Nee Doh . This egg hunt is an advent calendar style box that has a squishy toy behind each door. The goal is to find the squishy golden egg. It did not take me too long to find the gold egg, but my favorite squishy toy in this box is a squishy butterfly ring. I highly recommend getting the golden egg hunt if you love squishy toys!

Barbie Easter bundle

3/14/25

As soon as Valentine’s Day was over, stores began to put out their Easter items.  As soon as I saw this Barbie Easter bundle at Safeway, I knew I really wanted it, but it wasn’t exactly cheap. After having my eye on it for a while, I decided to buy it. It was on sale, after all. I’m happy I decided to buy it and yes, it comes with stickers.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for reading about some of my March adventures.

Barbie color reveal Disco Star series review

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I love Barbie color reveal dolls, and I was very excited to see that there was a new series available in stores, so I went to Target and got one of these dolls. Without any more delay, here is my review.

Barbie color reveal Disco Star series

One thing that I thought was cool when I saw this series was that all the dolls come with cowboy hats. They also have multicolored hair. The doll that I got has pink and blue hair. I also loved the necklace that this doll came with. This color reveal doll was similar to other color reveal dolls, but I love the theam of this series, and I would recommend adding this to your collection!

Thanks for reading!

A new Barbie sticker book, free stickers, and another coloring page

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!

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!

New Barbie color reveal doll blogmas day 18

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m finding it difficult to keep up with blogmas, but I’m not giving up! We got some new Barbie color reveal dolls at work. At first, I could not find any information about the series that we had, but then I discovered that it is a 1960s themed series. The first doll that I got in this series is the one that is shown on the container. I love that she has bun on the top of her head. I also love that she has pink in her hair. I love this series, and I hope they make more series inspired by decades. I would love a 1990s series!

I got more stickers for my Barbie sticker book! Blogmas day 15

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I wrote in another post about how I got a Barbie sticker book at work. Yesterday, at work, I was very excited when I saw that we now had the packs of stickers for sale. Each bag of stickers comes with 5 packs. When I opened the packages of stickers, I was happy to see that I did not get a bunch of doubles. I enjoyed filling in a bunch of spaces in my book with the new stickers. It is very hard to get every sticker, but I will try my best! I’m excited to see how many spaces I can fill with stickers!

Toy review Barbie cutie reveal purse blogmas day 12

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday, I got this super cute Barbie color reveal purse at Target. It doesn’t come with a doll but with a pet. I had never seen these before, and I didn’t find it in the toy section but in the Christmas section. It was with a bunch of other small items that I think were meant to be put in a stocking. This toy was different from the cutie reveal toys that I’m used to since it did not come with a doll, and the main part of it was a purse that you put together. With all that being said, I really like this toy. I loved how it came with charms to attach to the purse. Of course, the bear that came with it was super cute. I recommend getting this toy if you see it.

Barbie sticker book ,advent calendar, and pets! blogmas day 7

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I love collecting many different things, but Barbie is one of my favorite things to collect! Wednesday, I got two Barbie items at work, and on Thursday, I opened them along with the Barbie advent calendar that I got on Saturday. The first thing that I opened was the collectible Barbie sticker book. This sticker book came with five packages of stickers. I was very excited when I saw this sticker book on Wednesday because I had not seen it before. I had fun putting the stickers in the book, but I did get more doubles than I thought I would get. I hope to get more stickers for this book soon. I was excited to open the Barbie Advent calendar, and it did not disappoint! I love that the doll has three different colors in her hair. I also love the clothes and little animals that came in this set. I highly recommend this advent calendar for any Barbie fan. The last item I opened was the Barbie pet set. This is a very cute set and I’m glad that I bought it. It came some some vert cute pets and other items. This would also be a great gift for any Barbie fan.

My review of Barbie Pop reveal!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another product review! Not too long ago, I bought a Barbie pop reveal doll. However, I didn’t open her until today. This doll is different from the color reveal dolls in a few ways. The first way is that you know which doll you are going to get. I like that because it makes collecting the whole set much easier, and more importantly, you won’t get any doubles unless you want them. Also, the container that the doll comes in is not a plastic tube it is a big plastic cup decorated with fruit and the Barbie logo. The doll is unique in the way her knees and ankles bend. However, she can’t be put into a sitting position in the way that many other dolls can. This doll comes with a few fun accessories, including a little pet. Slime is also included, but I did not open it. Overall, I’m really happy with this new series of reveal dolls, and I hope that there will be more like it.
