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

A party for no reason and the Bay Area Travel show

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to tell you about two fun things I did last weekend. I know that I still have not crossed off any list items this year , yet this summer will be a different story . With all that being said, now let’s get to it.

3/15/ 2025

A party for no reason – Part of me likes working on Saturdays because that means I get to have a weekday off and I like having weekdays off because things are less crowed and and its easier to do what I need to do on the weekdays. However, on the 15th, I felt like my coworkers and I could use a party since we were having to work on a day that most people had off. Even though most of us who were there work every Saturday. I just felt like we needed a party. I ordered pizza and cake to be delivered. I also ordered some stickers and a bath bomb for myself. Oh, and I got these super cute bunny plates. I had a great time having a party for no reason with my coworkers. I hope I get the urge to do this again sometime.

3/16/2025 – On this day, my mom and I went to the Bay Area Travel show. I had a great time when I went last year. I even got to ask the host of the Amazing Race a question. This year, I did not know any of the speakers. We spent our time at the travel show exploring the different booths. I plan to add some more items to my list next month, and the booths at the Travel Show provided some great inspiration. The booth at the Travel show handed out different items such as stickers, lip balm, and pens. One booth even had shoe charms. We ate lunch at the show, and we got to see some dancers perform. One more highlight of the show was that I got to see a giant bunny. He was so cute and soft! I had a good time at this show, and I hope to go back next year.

Thank you for reading

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!

A surprise friend hang out and more happy things!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve had some really good days this week, and I hope you did as well. I wanted to share some of the good things that I’ve experienced this week, so let’s get to it.

Monday, March 11th – On this day, I bought some really cool things from work, including a set of gel pens that I have been wanting  to get for a while now. I also got a plush basket that has plush toys in it, a bead kit, some stickers, and juice that has toys on top! Another thing I bought on this day was skin tag removal patches. I have this skin tag by my eye that has been bothering me, so I’m excited to finally get rid of it.

Tuesday,  March 12th – On this day, I had the day off. I didn’t have any plans, but it turned out to be a really great day. My amazing friend called me and asked if I wanted to hang out. I was immediately excited to see her! Our first stop was going to my favorite local thrift store. At first I didn’t find anything but then I saw a bag of stickers for a dollar. After that, I began finding more items, including bags of beads , a teddy bear , a dinosaur toy, and a Barbie doll. After that, my friend and I went to the candy store. This is one of my favorite places to go with my friends. My friend and I also went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. This day was truly amazing! I love it when I get to spend a day with a friend.

Wednesday, March 13th – I had work on this day, and of course, I bought something else that I had my eye on at work. A bunny Play-Doh set. I also got two little notebooks that were on sale.

Thursday,  March 14th – Another work day, but I went to Safeway before going to work. I’ve gotten really into using coupons on the Safeway app, and it has saved me a lot of money. I got some of my favorite food items at Safeway, including my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. I also got a large pack of gum that comes in a plastic refillable case. That was something that I had been wanting to get, so I got it when I saw it in the self checkout area. After Safeway, it was time for work. For some reason, work has been very busy this week, and today was no different. I was doing a lot of multi-tasking throughout the day. I bought this headband on my break that I had  been wanting to get. I was gonna get some scented markers that are the same brand that I had when I was a kid, but we were sold out, however I did get a set of colorful pens that were on sale instead. I also got more mini note books.

I hope that your week has been full of happiness!

Love – Christina Epperly

First weekend of March 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! We are now in the lovely month of march! Spring is on the way and we are getting a good amount of rain in my area and that means that there will be lots of nice green grass and healthy plants and wildlife. Even though this was a weekend that had rain off and on, I still enjoyed it, and I’m excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!

Friday, March 1st – I had work on this day, but I was excited to go to work because it was employee shopping day. On employee shopping days employees get a larger discount than normal. I got coffee and then I got to work early so I could do some shopping before working. I got some normal house hold items but I also got some fun items including a bunny shaped bead kit, a Rainbow Loom set, a squishy dinosaur toy that comes with gummy candy, a puzzle tube, an egg with a toy hidden inside, a pen with a bunny on it , and a bunny Suqishmallow clip. I also got a lip mask that I’m excited to try. I’ve done face masks before, but never one that is made for and shaped like lips. I had a great employee shopping day.

Saturday, March 2nd – I had this day off ! We had a few errands to do on this day, but the thing that I was most excited about was going to the Dollar Tree. Before we went to the Dollar Tree, we voted and got coffee. It was nice to be able to vote early because there were no lines whatsoever . After voting and getting coffee, we drove to my favorite local Dollar Tree store. This location is my favorite because it is well stocked and clean. The main thing that I wanted to get at the Dollar Tree were Easter craft kits. I got a few craft kits, including two wooden coloring craft kits. I also got a big wooden cross that you can paint. Other items I got were window stickers, two blind bag toys, a velvet poster coloring kit, and a Barbie cup. After the Dollar Tree, we went to a nearby Goodwill to drop off some donations. After dropping off our donations, we went into the store. I got two things in the store a craft kit and a nail care set. We also went to Whole Foods, where I got soup and candy that is in the shape of bunnies. It was a great day!

Sunday, March 3rd – I had work in the afternoon, but before that, I went and got coffee and went to church. It was a rainy and gloomy day, so I was sleepy. I went back to bed until it was time to leave for work. At work , there were a bunch of pens with clovers on top available on the break table. I was excited to get a free pen. The rest of the day was just a normal work day, but overall, it was a good and a great weekend!

Thanks for reading about my weekend! Have a blessed week – Christina Eppperly

The little things I enjoyed on Sunday and Monday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. One of my favorite sayings is enjoy the little things. I wanted to highlight the little things I loved on Sunday and Monday. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Sunday – I started work later in the day. I sept in and took it easy until it was time to leave for work. Before work, I went to Safeway, where I got food and a hot wheels car. Then I went to get coffee. After that, I went to work early so I could buy something before I had to clock in. I bought this super cute Melissa and Doug sticker activity kit. Also, during my day at work, I got two chocolates that have toys inside and a container of squishy toys that are part of our Valentines Day seasonal items.

Monday – I had this day off! I slept in again, and I took it easy until my mom and I went into town. Our first stop was coffee, of course, then Pet Co, where I saw some very cute kittens. After Pet Co, I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Being there made me feel young again. I got four pencils for a dollar because that’s something I would have gotten as a kid. I also got some some plastic sea animals, rubber ducks, a Pez disperser that is shaped like a truck, and a pen with a plastic heart on top. After that we went for a walk in the park. There is supposed to be rain coming this way soon, so it was nice to get outside for a walk. After our walk, I went to the movie theater to pick up a prize pack that I had won. Before walking back to the car, I went to the candy store, and I got some of the stickers that they had there.

There you have it some of the little things that I have enjoyed lately!

Thanks for reading I hope you are enjoying the little things! – Christina Epperly
