This is what dreams taste like according to Coca-Cola

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I love trying new flavors of drinks and snacks. On Friday I got a new flavor of Coca-Cola at Target. I had seen pictures of Coca-Cola dream world on social media. I was excited to try to it. Earlier this year I tried space flavored Coca-Cola. ( You can read about it HERE) I had read one review that said this new dream flavor tasted like fruit. When I tried it I definitely agree with that. My first thought when I tasted it was that it tasted like fruit punch. The best way I can describe it as mix of fruit punch and cola. I do like this flavor and I would consider buying this flavor again! I do recommend trying it.

New Barbie color reveal doll and a Target shopping trip!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Yesterday I went on an evening trip to Target. I love going to Target! I was excited to see what fun thinhs I would get this this time! My main reason for going to Target was to get bath bombs. I got three bath bombs. Two of them have prizes inside and the third one is moon shaped and lavender scented. Lavender is one of my favorite scents. I love the bath bomb selection at Target! I also love the sock selection at Target. I got one pair of socks yesterday. I chose a pair that had panda bears on them. I went to check out the Barbie section and I was super happy to see that there was a new series of Barbie color reveal dolls. This series has a rainy day theme. Also while I was in the toy section I got a package of scented Play-Doh. Another cool thing I got was a package of word beads in the arts and crafts area. I also got some food and drinks. I’m excited to do a review on one of the drinks I got. Now let’s talk about today. Since today is a pretty relaxed day,I decided to see what Barbie color reveal doll I got. Since I didn’t have any dolls in this series, I knew I wouldn’t get a doll that I already had. The doll I got is the one with green hair and a green outfit. She is absolutely beautiful! I just love her hair and her outfit! I want to get more dolls in this series but I really don’t like getting doubles since color reveal dolls are on the expensive side. However, I may just get one more and take a chance!

Play-Doh kit fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! Recently I got this super cute Play-Doh kit from Walgreens. I’m home from work today not feeling the best but I did have the desire to open up this Play-Doh kit and use the animal shaped cookie cutters inside. There are a lot of cookie cutters in the kit. I decided to make one animal shape for each color of Play-Doh that came with the kit. There were seven colors in the kit but there were a lot more cookie cutters! There were so many to choose from. My three favorite cookie cutter shapes are the Teddy bear, the fish, and the cat! I had fun cutting out the shapes. It was a good mix of fun and relaxing. Maybe I should do more blog posts about Play-Doh because I really enjoyed doing this one!

The little things that made me smile last week. :)

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. I believe It is important to talk about the positive things in life. It is not always an easy thing to do but it can be good for your mental health. During last week there were some good moments that I want to share with you so here we go!

Monday- After work on Monday, I went to 7-11 for Slurpee day! I didn’t get the free size though. I celebrated the day with a large size Slurpee. Cherry is my favorite Slurpee flavor and that’s what I got!

Tuesday- My mom came to my work on my lunch break and we went to Panera Bread. I love the veggie sandwich that they have here. I’ve had it many times and it is always very yummy.

Friday – On Friday during my lunch break I went to the swing set at my work and went on the swing for a little bit. After work I went to Whole Foods I hadn’t been there in a while so I was excited to go. I got some yummy food of course but I also got this super cute pencil set. That evening I took a walk to go see my horse friend Dominic. I always enjoy going to see him.

Thanks for reading and have a great week !

Drawing a summer picture!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Back in 2010 I started drawing a picture to celebrate summer. I did miss 2011 but other than that I’ve been doing it ever since. Today was the day I drew this year’s picture. I used colored pencils and crayons for this year’s picture. I’m really happy with the way my picture looks. I was just kind of making things up as I went when I drew this picture. However, I’m very happy to have this drawing as a part of my art collection.

My Colorado adventure June 2022 part 2

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It’s time for the second post about my adventures in Colorado. In this post I go to an art museum and even create my own art! Plus a little bit of adrenaline rush! I’m super excited to write all about it. So let’s get to it!

Colorado adventure day three – On this day I crossed off a bucket list item by visiting the Denver art museum. We arrived at the museum a little while before it opened. That was actually a good thing because there were some great things to see outside of the museum. My favorite outside art piece was a large broom and dust pan sculpture. I love the picture that I took by the sculpture. There were also these rocking lawn chairs that played music as they rocked. Soon it was time to go inside the museum. This museum is huge with so many things to see. I enjoyed looking at photographs,paintings and more. My favorite part of the museum was an area where you could make your own art. After looking at so many inspiring pieces of art I was in a creative mood. I made two collages. I loved using paper that had patterns on it. For one of my art pieces I made a beautiful collage of patterns. the other collage I made was inspired by ice cream. If I’m ever back in Denver I want to go to the art museum again because there is so much to see. After the art museum we took a walk and we quickly visted the Colorado state capital building. It is a very beautiful building and I got some good pictures there. After that we kept walking because we had a tour scheduled at the Molly Brown house museum. We got a little lost on our way there. However,we did make it on time for our self-guided tour. There were so many interesting things to see there. There is something special about seeing history frozen in time as you explore the house. I loved the swing outside the house I took some pictures of my mom and I on the swing. I love the wooden spinning top thst I got at the gift shop there. Later that day we went to get the rental car because our other adventures were going to be outside of Denver. Before we went to pick up our car we went to eat at Ihop. We were very hungry after a long day full of adventure I  won’t get in to all the stressful details here but we ened up having to go to another rental car place then the one we had reserved a car at because there were some problems picking the car up. However it all worked out and we got a great car for our adventures. When we got to the hotel, I  went swimming again. It was a busy but mostly fun vacation day.

Colorado day four – On this day we took a drive to see some famous Colorado attractions. Our first stop was Garden of the gods. This park is known for it’s rock formations. We took a trolly tour because we didn’t have much time. We went to the visitor center to sign up for the tour. We had some time before we went on the tour so we checked out the visitors center,got hot drinks and visted the gift shop. The trolly tour allowed us to see a lot of the rock formations. With the limited time we had it was the perfect way for us to be able to see the park without spending a lot of time there. Our second activity for the day was to go see the Royal Gorge Bridge. The bridge is located in an amusement park. So in addition to walking across this very amazing bridge we also saw a bird show, went to a petting zoo, and road a zip line across the Gorge. The zip line was fun but kind of scary. However it was definitely worth it because the views were beyond beautiful when I wasn’t closing my eyes that is! I also got to go on a carousel here. It was a small Carousel and adults where not allowed on the horses however I was able to ride on the bench and take pictures with the Carousel horses. On the way out we stopped by the gift shop. On the way back I went to Taco Bell for dinner. Taco Bell is one of my favorite fast food places. This was a really fun day!

Thank you for reading about my vacation fun in Colorado!

My Colorado adventure June 2022 part 1

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! I recently got back home from an adventure filled vacation to Colorado! I have so much to write about. Here we go!

Colorado day one – The first day of this vacation was similar to a lot of other first days of vacation,meaning that there was an airplane ride and then an Uber ride to the hotel. The big highlight of day one was going swimming in the hotel pool. I love going swimming. I wish I got to go more often. It was a good way to start my vacation.

Colorado day two – On day two I did one of my favorite things. I went to the zoo! I just have to say that the Denver zoo is a lot of fun!I saw so many different kinds of animals including elephant, lions, flamingos,Zebras, raccoons and more! I also got to ride a train and a carousel. The Carousel had so many different animals on it. There was also a lion made out of Legos that was really interesting to see. One of my favorite animals that I saw there was the okapi. They are very cute and I love that we got to get pretty close to them at the zoo. I ended my zoo adventure by getting some souvenires at the gift shop. At the gift shop I got a new snow globe for my collection along with some other items. I also got a souvenire cup with my lunch. After a fun time at the zoo we took an Uber to downtown Denver. Our first stop was the Denver selfie museum! I love going to places like this. I’ve been to two other places like this before and I loved them both. I was super excited to take some fun photos at this museum and let me tell you something this place did not disappoint! There were so many fun backgrounds and props that looked amazing in pictures. I loved the fuzzy purple background that had old fashion phones attached to it. I also loved the smiley face background and the bubblegum background that was full of candy machines that had yellow gumballs in them. After taking a lot of fun pictures we walked to a souvenire store. I got some great things there including another snow globe,a plush moose,post cards,key chains and more! It was a day full of fun and adventure!

Thank you for reading this post about some of my adventures in Colorado.

Carousel and train rides

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! On Saturday I went to a local park that has both a carousel and a train. I haven’t been on them in a while but I love carousels so I thought that it would be fun to go on the rides. We had our neighbor’s dog with us and dogs are allowed on the train as long as they are on a leash. I bought the tickets then went on the carousel! I had a great time ridding the carousel! Ridding made me so happy! I wish a could ride a carousel everyday! After the carousel,my mom the dog and I went to wait in line for the train. It was pretty crowded so we waited in line for about fifteen minutes. The dog did a good job of waiting though. It was fun ridding on the train with the dog. It was the perfect weekend adventure!

A trip to the beach and a trip to Goodwill

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! My favorite season is in full swing. The summer fun keeps on coming. I have hit a few bumps in the road during this summer mainly I hurt a muscle in my leg and had to stay off of it for most of last weekend and that was not fun. However last Tuesday after work I went to the beach. I haven’t been to the beach in a while and I really wanted to go. My mom and I plus the neighbor’s dog went on a little beach adventure. It felt so good to walk on the beach and put my feet in the water. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to the beach but this trip more than made up for it. I took a lot of great pictures and just had a really good time overall. The dog had a great time playing with other dogs on the beach. I had a lot smiles on my face that evening. The next day I went to the Goodwill while my dad went shopping at the store next door. I got some great items to add to my collection including a Rainbow Dash backpack, some TY toys,a Disney popcorn bucket,a Disney picture friend and some Crayola markers. I know it can be hard sometimes but planning fun things on weekdays can have a positive impact on your mental health.
