Going to the movies and shopping at some of my favorite stores

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m still writing about the month of September, but I don’t have a lot more to write, so I should be caught up soon! With that being said, let’s get to it!

9/18/2024 – On this day, I went to the movies. I went twice in the month of September, and that’s kind of rare for me. I should try to go to the movies more often because it is a good escape from everyday stress. After the movies, I went to Target and got stickers and coffee It was a good day!

9/19/2024 – On this day, I went to my favorite local thrift store. I love how low the prices are at this thrift store. On this trip to the thrift store, I got some glittery stickers, a pretty awesome pair of shoes, a plush eagle, and more! After my thrift shopping fun, I went to one of my favorite coffee shops.

9/25/2024 – On this day, I went to my favorite local thrift store again. I got a bunch of cool stuff on this trip. Some of the things I got were some fun shaped erasers, a bundle of small American flags, glittery letter stickers, a plush shark from Las Vegas, and a jewelry box that was full of all kinds of items. I also went to the coffee shop after thrift shopping, but after that, I visited a local toy store where I got some very cute surprise toys!

9/28/2024

On this day, I went to my favorite local party supplies store! I’ve been going to this store since I was young. I have a lot of good memories of going to this store. I’m a very nostalgic person, so I enjoy visiting some of my favorite places from childhood.  This store is full of items that I love. Such as stickers, art kits, and squishy toys. I got some really great stickers on this shopping trip. I also got this really cute squishy bear toy. Oh, and I got this really fun necklace that has fruit shaped beads. I love it!

Thank you for reading about some of my September fun!

Coca-Cola flavored Oreos and Oreo flavored Coca-Cola

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket lit friends! I love trying interesting foods and drinks. Last month I got to try two very interesting flavored items and I’m excited to let you know all about it so let’s get to it!

Coca-Cola flavored Oreos – I was very excited when I saw Coca-Cola flavored Oreos. I knew I had to review this product. Let me tell you these cookies did not disappoint! I loved the popping candy that was inside of the cookies. The cookies did a good job of capturing the Coca-Cola flavor without being overpowering. It was hard to stop eating these cookies. I wish I could get them agian!

Oreo flavored Coca-Cola – It was a little while after I tried the cookies that I got around to trying the soda. I still have some of it left. I’m going to get right to it. The soda was pretty good but not amazing. It is hard to describe the flavor, but I did get some Oreo flavor. I would still recommend  giving this soda a try, but the cookies were the clear winner here.

Thanks for reading my reviews.

The summer oath and my summer notebook

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start!

For this summer I made a summer notebook. In the notebook I will keep track of my summer bucket list game and my other summer adventures. I think keeping a summer notebook is a great idea and I hope to inspire others to keep a summer notebook as well. I also wrote a summer oath that is basically a vow to enjoy the summertime. You can find the summer oath below as well as pictures of my summer notebook! I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

The summer oath

I _______________________________ vow to enjoy this summer to the fullest extent possible

I promise to have fun, explore, go on adventures and try new things.

I also promise to be safe, to be kind and to always use commonsense

I vow to value every day that this summer has to offer because I know that it will be over very quickly.

I acknowledge that summer is a special time of year where fun, adventure, relaxation, and exploration are put into the spotlight.

I vow to honor the legacy and history of summertime by living each beautiful summer day to the fullest

Signed ___________________ Summer of ________________

Have a beautiful summer!

A concert and a bunch of fourth of July items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!!

Shopping at the Dollar Tree , a new Squishmallow, and a coloring book with lots of stickers!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Thanks for reading!

The best way to start the month of May

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Things have been very busy lately, and I’ve gotten behind on my blog posts. I wanted to post my Starbucks review quickly, and now that I’ve done that. I wanted to go back to the very first day of this month. I started off this very busy month with a spontaneous hangout with my amazing friend. It was a beautiful day, and we decided to get Jamba Juice. It had been way too long since we had seen each other. After Jamba Juice, we went to a local toy store because I wanted to get some stickers. The sticker selection did not disappoint, and I got a few different kinds, including a book of avocado stickers. After that we went to a local park and went on a nice walk. It was nice just to sit on a bench by the lake and watch birds while we talked. The area that I live in is very fast-paced, and it is so nice to slow down for a bit. I feel like I’m either rushing around or I’m too tired to do anything at all. It is so easy to get caught up in everything that the most important things like spending time with friends and family can get put to the side. I’m glad I started the month on a great note, and I hope it continues.

Thanks for reading !
