being busy and breaktime shopping blogmas day 19

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m really behind on my posts for blogmas, and there is a reason for that. Work has been very busy, and it has been very hard to keep up with a lot of things, including my blog posts, but I’m determined to catch up. The fast pace of work has had me stressed out lately, and it is no secret that I like to shop when I’m stressed. Well, let’s face it. I like to shop anytime. Anyways I’ve been getting some really cool things during my little shopping trips including a Barbie doll, two plush dogs that sing, Lion King toys, surprise squishmellows, another Barbie color reveal doll and, candy. It might not just be the stress that is causing me to shop so much. when you are working in retail, especially at this time of year, there is a lot of shopping going on around you and maybe seeing people buying all kinds of things and also buying lots of things at once has inspired me to shop more. I also got some more Christmas presents for my family. Have you been shopping more this week ?

Two fun Christmas celebrations blogmas day 17

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Overall, December is a very busy month with a lot of events happening! On Sunday, I attended two fun events. The first one was a very yummy potluck after church. Our church also had a beautiful Christmas tree. Later on in the day, I went to the next event a party at my cousin’s house.There was more amazing food, of course, but we also played one of my favorite Christmas games. We did the white elephant gift exchange game. I always have fun playing this game, but I really loved it this time because I got two Squishmallows! I had a really great day spending time with family and friends!

My review of Starbuck’s merry mint drink blogmas day 14

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I was very excited when I saw that Starbucks had a new limited edition holiday drink. This drink is only available on the app. I’m actually drinking it right now as I write this! I have to say that I love it! Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors, and this drink has the perfect amount of it! It is very sweet. If you don’t like sugary drink, then this is not a drink for you. On the other hand, if you love sweet drinks, I recommend giving this one a try!

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.

Christmas tree 2023 ! Blogmas day 11

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is just a quick post to show you some pictures of my family’s Christmas tree is year! We have been using an artificial tree for a while now, and honestly, I like it better than using a real tree. We have so many ornaments, and there are still some that I have not put on the tree yet. However, I still wanted to share some photos of this year’s tree!

spending time with my friend, looking at Christmas lights, and shopping at the Goodwill blogmas day 10

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have gotten a little bit behind on my blog posts because I was busy having a great time with my amazing friend this weekend! We met on Saturday evening at Starbucks. Then we went to look at Christmas lights. We went to this one neighborhood where almost every house was decorated. There were also lighted archers that you could walk under. There were so many things to look at and take pictures of. I got cold, but other than that, it was perfect. I spent the night at my friends house. I think it is important to remember that sleepovers are still fun even in your 30s! The next day we went to Goodwill to drop some things off but we also went inside the store. My main goal was to look for books. This location had a good selection of books. I got some American girl books and a Mary-Kate and Ashley book. Some other items that I got were a Build a Bear brand bunny plush, 4th of July themed buttons, a Ty Beanie Baby ornament , and Christmas art supplies. Another highlight of the weekend was that my friend and I decorated gingerbread cookies and a house. I hope all of you are having an amazing Christmastime!

shopping and more shopping blogmas day 9

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is a popular time of year for one of my favorite activities. That activity is shopping, of course! On Friday, I did some breaktime shopping at work. Our Christmas themed items are going fast, so I got a few more things I wanted before they sell out. The items I got included Kinder Joy eggs, light up earrings, and hair accessories. On Saturday, I went to the hardwhere store where I got two Christmas themed squishy toys. I also went to the Dollar Tree. The location that I went to is pretty big, and it usually has a good selection of items. I was happy to see that there were plenty of Christmas items on the shelves. Some of the items I got were craft kits, a cookie decorating kit, candy, a hair bow, blind bag toys, a tooth brush, bath bombs with toys inside, Christmas themed erasers and more! After the Dollar Tree, I went to Target. The first thing I got a target was a bath fizzer that had a prize inside. One item that I was really excited about was a Barbie cutie reveal pet set. I also got more Christmas squishy toys! It was a fun two days of shopping!

Christmas coloring craft! Blogmas day 8

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Today, I did a Christmas themed craft kit that I got at the Dollar Tree. It was a simple coloring craft kit. The kit came with a cute tote bag and some markers. I loved the cute gingerbread people on the bag. I had a fun time doing this project. I find coloring to be a very relaxing activity. I highly recommend getting simple craft kits, especially for Christmastime!

A snowman craft kit and peppermint bliss blogmas day 5

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! Somehow, it is already December 5th ! Yesterday, I had the day off, and during my quick trip into town, I got a peppermint mocha at Starbucks and a candy cane at Safeway. I have loved peppermint for a very long time, and I get excited when I see peppermint flavored treats in stores. I was truly in peppermint bliss yesterday with both of the treats that I got. I also decided to make a snowman wreath with a craft kit that I had gotten at a thrift store. I did not see any directions, so I did my own thing. I’m happy with the way that it turned out even though it is different than the picture on the front of the package. It was a fun and cute craft kit, and I’m glad I put it together yesterday.

A classic Christmastime treat blogmas day 4

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I got two plastic candy candy canes filled with chocolate. These fun plastic candy canes are one of my favorite Christmastime treats. I think it would be fun to fill the candy canes with colored sand or beads to make them into decorations. I love how these treats are only a few dollars, and you get a fun plastic cane that you can keep. I don’t think that I have ever seen art done with these before, so it will be interesting to see what I can come up with.
