March moments including my hair cut! ( and a fun life update)

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! It is time to start my blog posts about March. I’m going to try to blog as much as possible this month. Even though my life has gotten busier since I got a 2nd job! I’m so excited to say that I’m going to be working as a massage therapist again. It took a good amount work to get my massage licence in order and then it was even more work to get my resume and cover letter ready. However, it all paid off. I was very blessed that I was able to get hired quickly. I’m very happy that I decided to go back into the field of massage therapy. I’m also very excited that summer is coming soon. However, for now it’s time to tell you about some of my March highlights including a much needed haircut.

March 2nd – On the 2nd day of the month I went for a walk in a local park. While I was at the park I went on the playground and I took some fun selfies. I still think playgrounds are fun even in my 30’s. There is something so fun and nostalgic about playgrounds. I’m glad I was able to go to the park on this day. I also went to CVS and I got some fun Items including Valentine’s day clearance items. I also got some Easter items as well. I love the craft kits and the bag of Easter toys that I got . I also got this super cute fuzzy bunny notebook. I also got coffee on this day.

March 3rd – On this day I went to Target . I mainly went to get the book Just Friends. I was so happy that I was able to get it. I also got some Joy Ride candy , two craft kits, a bag of popper toys, and a large Crayola Scribble Scrubby. It was a great day for a great Target run!

March 4th – On this day I got a very very very cute frog cake pop ! I miss the frog cake pops !

March 5th – on this day I went to Safeway. I got some surprise toys, a pack of Barbie surprise eggs, and more! I also went to Trader Joe’s and I got some fun stickers. It was a pretty normal day but it was a pretty good day .

March 7th – I did a lot on this day. I went to work , Then I went to Walgreens. I got some fun things at Walgreens. My favorite thing that I got was a peeps bead kit. I also got some toys on clearance and my favorite body wash. I also went to my favorite used book store. I got some good books on this day including three American Girl books. Then I met my friend we went to one of my favorite local toy stores where I got a fun set that included squishy toys and stationary items. Then my friend and I went to eat and then we went thrift shopping. It was so good to spend time with my friend. Life is so busy that often times it hard to find time to spend with friends so I’m always very happy when it works out. At the thrift store I got some stickers and more. I also went to eat with my parents on this day. It was a really awesome day !

March 9th – On this sunny day I went to the Dollar Tree and I got some fun Easter items . I love the set of erasers that I got. I also got a cute tooth brush and a fun Easter craft kit. I love going to the Dollar Tree I wish I had one just a little closer to me.

March 12th – This was the day I got my hair cut! I had been growing my hair out and it had gotten to be pretty long. It was also very hard to care for. I have thick hair and that can be difficult to manage. Also for work I had to have it pulled back so I could not think of a reason it keep it long anymore. I went to great clips and I was very happy with the results! My hair is about shoulder length now and it is much easier to take care of and it is also super cute ! I’m very happy that I decided to get my hair cut. After my haircut I went to CVS. I wanted to get this big box of Easter toys that I had seen online. I did get the box of easter toys but I also got more. Including more Valentine’s day clearance items and some easter items. After CVS I got coffee. This was a fun day!

March 13th – On this day I painted a sloth suncatcher ! I love doing fun and simple art projects like this . I also went on a walk and I took a my new axolotl toy that I had gotten the day before at CVS with me.

March 14th – On this day I went to Walmart . I went to get some Easter items and that is what I did . I love the tube of squishy duck toys that I got. I also got a necklace, scratch art, a bead kit, a coloring book , an egg with squishy toys inside and more! That night I went to dinner. This was a fun day.

Thank you so much for reading about some of the simple moments that made the first part of March special.

Love, Christina Epperly

life at the end of February 2026

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I know I’ve been going back and forth between writing about this year and last year but I decided to write my two main posts about February back to back. I feel like I’m getting more caught up that way by finishing the main part of my February posts first. However after this post I will write another post about August . Now ,that you know my blogging schedule let’s dive into this blog post about life at the end of February.

2/21- On this day I went to Safeway. I got some Barbie surprise eggs. These eggs have cool Barbie themed items inside. I also got a coloring craft kit there. I also went to Walgreens I got some cute duck toys and a squishy toy craft kit. This was a good February day . It was also a beautiful sunny day.

2/22 – I did two art projects on this day! The first project was a simple coloring craft kit. I had fun coloring a cute wooden caterpillar. I love that there were different patterns to color on the craft and not just circles. I love how colorful this craft looked when I was done. This was a very simple craft but I really enjoyed it. The 2nd craft kit that I did was a foam ice cream craft. My favorite part of this kit was the sparkly sprinkles. I had fun sticking them on the ice cream project. Later that day I went to Safeway again and I got a fun package of Easter stickers. I’m happy that I had time to be creative on this day.

2/24 – On this day I went to work. My highlight of my work day was getting to have a cannonball drink. However, After work I finally did something that I had been wanting to do for a long time. I finally applied to be on reality TV. I have no idea if my application will go anywhere. However, I feel good that I was finally brave enough to record a short video and submit it. Even if I never hear back I’m glad I did this.

2/26 on this day I went to the mall and I got a much needed massage. I also went shopping at Claire’s. My favorite thing that I got at Claire’s was a hat with bows on it. I also got some bracelets and earrings there .While I was at the mall I went to The Hallmark store and I got a bunch of stickers. Hallmark is a great place to find cute stickers. I also went to the Target that was attached to the mall. I got some JoyRide candy , erasers shaped like different kinds of food, and more. I also went to Taco Bell in the food court. I put my order under the name Alice because I’m a huge Alice Cooper fan and sometimes it’s fun to use a different name. This was a really good day.

2/27 – This day I got to do something really awesome. I got to see my amazing friend Amy. We went to a bunch of different places including a book store , a toy store , CVS, and Togos. I bought some fun items on this day including a coloring book that came with crayons and stickers, a sheet of animal stickers, a pack of Easter toys, a set of bracelets and more. However, the best part of the day was getting to spend time with Amy. It is a lot harder to spend time with your friends than it should be. I love it when I get time to see a friend so this day was a great day.

2/28 – This was the last day of the month. I went to Walgreens I got some fun Easter Items including a pack of Easter toys and some puffy Peeps stickers. After that I went to Trader Joes. I got a box of my mango bars but I also go some stickers and a coloring page. I ended this short month on a high note.

Thanks for reading about more of mt February moments.

Love, Christina Epperly.

Summertime sleepover fun

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I have learned that it does not matter how old you get having a sleepover with a good friend is a lot of fun! With that being said let’s get to it.

Summer sleepover !

July 10th – On this day my amazing friend picked me up from work. Our first adventure was a trip to 7-11. We each got a Slurpee and then it was on to Taco Bell before going back to the house. It was a beautiful summer night and we got to go swimming! I love going swimming in the day but there is just something so special about going swimming during the nighttime. It was so amazing to go on a nighttime swim with one of my favorite people. It was truly a wonderful summer night. The next day I had work but before that my friend and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby. This was my first time going to Hobby Lobby and I loved it. There were so many good deals . I was so happy that there were a lot of 4th of July items still available and they were on sale. I got a good amount of 4th of July items at at really great price. I also got a Lisa Frank art kit , a package of shaped straws and more. My friend and I both had a great time there we also got coffee together before I had to go to work. I wish the sleepover would have been longer but other than that it was pretty much prefect.

My Big Sur summer adventure 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. In early June, I got to go on an overnight trip with my wonderful friend. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!

June 4th – I had this day off, and I was blessed with an opportunity to go on an overnight trip to Big Sur with my friend. On the way to our hotel, we stopped at state park that had some beautiful views. It was a great place to take pictures. When we arrived to check in to our hotel we saw a very fun summer sand sculpture. There was also a huge chair that was perfect for taking pictures.  Also there was a store and I got some souvenirs there. One of the big highlights was that by the restaurant, there were wooden chairs in the river.  it was  relaxing to sit in chairs that were anchored in the river.

June 5th – On this day, we explored Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. We went hiking through some truly beautiful scenery. I highly recommend going to this amazing state park if you ever get a chance. There was so much to explore here. We also went to a little store that had some great souvenirs. On the way back from our trip, we stopped at the Bixby bridge to take some pictures. This was a great little trip.

Love, Christina Epperly

Memorial Day weekend 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Summer is almost here! I’m very excited to start my summer bucket list game on June 1st. This weekend was Memorial Day weekend. It is an important time to remember and honor those who died to protect the people of America. I took this weekend off from work due to the stress of working on holiday weekends. I had an overall relaxing time off, including spending a day with my friend. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Friday 5/23/2025 – On this day, I went to work before my three days off began. It was an employee shopping day where we get a larger discount than we normally do. I got a few things, but my favorites are a summer coloring book and a package of glow sticks.

Saturday 5/24/2025 – I spent this day with my friend. We had a great time catching up with each other. We went to the Dollar Tree and Target along with a bunch of other places. We even went on two walks! At the Dollar Tree, I got some summer decorations, bath bombs with prizes, beads , a Barbie dot to dot book, a surprise toy, summer cups, and more. At Target I got two summer themed duck toys and a craft kit. I also ate way more junk food than I should have. It was a great day.

Sunday 5/25/ 2025 – On this day, I went to church, and there was a wonderful BBQ afterward. I had a great time being social and eating some good food. I also enjoyed some time outside in the sunshine. It was a good day.

Monday 5/26/2025 – Today was Memorial Day. Words can not express how thankful I am to live in America and how thankful I am to those who fought for our freedom.

I stayed home most of the day. However, I did go out to get coffee, but the traffic was so bad due to people coming back from the beach! It makes me so mad when people insist on creating horrible traffic on the weekends and holidays during the summertime. I got my coffee, but I had to sit in unnecessary traffic.

So that was my Memorial Day weekend. I hope all of you had a blessed weekend.

Love, Christina Epperly.

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

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Thank you for reading about some of my April adventures!

Love, Christina Epperly
