Exploring a used book store and visiting my storage unit

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month, I went to a local used book store. I also went to my storage unit. I dont know if I’ve ever talked about my storage unit on my blog before, but I’m proud of it, and I’m excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!

Used book store 2/18/25 – 2/19/25

I found out that there was a used book store by our local library. I also found out that the prices were all around 1 or 2 dollars. I first went on the 18th. I was so excited when I saw all the American Girl books that they had, including some from when I was a kid ! They were only a dollar each ! I also got a Breyer horse book. I did have to go to work, so I didn’t get to look around as much as I would have liked to, so I went back the next day, and I got a few more books! I’m excited to continue visiting this book store !

My storage unit – 2/17/25

On this day, I went to visit my storage unit because I had some more items I wanted to put in it. I was excited to go there and see my large teddy bear again. It was actually a bucket list item to get her, but since she is a large bear, it was better for her to live in my storage unit than my messy room ! If I ever get my own place, hopefully I will have enough room for all my collections, but for now, I’m proud that I’ve collected so many items that they have to have there own place. I don’t seem to achieve the same milestones that others do, and that’s not on purpose. However, it is what it is, so. I’m going to take my wins where I can get them. I’m happy to say that I’m an expert at collecting, and I’m also a proud maximalist! Having a storage unit was not on my bucket list, but having one makes me feel like I crossed off a bucket list item!

A fun friend day in February

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Even though I have not crossed off any bucket list items this month, I consider this month to be a successful one because I got to see a friend. As I get closer to the middle of my 30s it gets seem like it gets more difficult to see my friends and to be social in general so if I get to see a friend one day out of the month I feel successful in being a somewhat social person. Now that I have made a very long introduction to this post, let’s get to the post. Here we go

February 11th 2025

I had work on this day but I left my house early so I would have time with my friend before it was time in clock in. we met at my favorite local thrift store because we both enjoy thrift shopping. I got some toys and art supplies. After thrift shopping we went to a local coffee shop and we had a good conversation while we enjoyed our drinks. Before we went to lunch, we stopped by one of my favorite toy stores. I got a package that had surprise toys in it, and I also got a box with three squishy toys in it. After the toy store we went to lunch. lunch was really good and we also got to talk to each other more before I had to go to work. I’m so thankful that I got to spend time with my friend!

Thank you so much for reading!

Three trips to my favorite local thrift store

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month, I’ve visited my favorite local thrift store three times, and I’m excited to let you know all about it, so let’s get to it!

January 4th

I always enjoy finding fun things at my favorite local thrift store. I like this thrift store for many reasons but one reason is that it has great prices. On this day my favorite thrift store find was an American Girl book. This book was one that came with one of the American girl pets. I was very happy when I saw it on the shelf. I also got some foam stickers, foam stamps, a hair scrunchie that has a smiley face pattern, and more! It was a good thrift shopping trip.

January 14th

On a lot of my thrift shopping trips there is one item that stands out from the rest of my haul The standout item from this thrift shopping trip was a pair of pink converse. I have wanted a pair for awhile and when I saw this pair I knew it was meant to be. I also got some super cute stickers, some crayons, a book, a cute pouch that is perfect for art supplies, and a large container that was full of beads. I have already worn my new shoes that I got on this day and I love them so much!

January 26th

I did not have plans to go thrift shopping on this day but my friend was in town so I ended up meeting her here. I was in a weird mood on this day so I kind of just let myself loose and I just kind bought whatever I wanted to. I got a pretty good haul. If I had to choose a stand out item for this thrift shopping trip I would say that it is a pair of yellow heart shaped sun glasses. I liked that they were yellow I have a good amount of heart shaped sunglasses but I really liked that these were a bright and sunny yellow color. I was also really excited that I got a bunch of stickers including some horse stickers. Some other fun items I got on this day were two plush Peeps bunnies, a notebook with flowers on the cover, glitter glue, erasers shaped like crayons, a package of Crayola colored pencils, three shirts, some socks, and a bag of pens. I also got a Cheeta Girls CD because it reminded me of when I was a teenager. It was a fun thrift shopping trip with my friend.

Thank you for reading about my local thrift shopping adventures this month.

Barbie color reveal Disco Star series review

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I love Barbie color reveal dolls, and I was very excited to see that there was a new series available in stores, so I went to Target and got one of these dolls. Without any more delay, here is my review.

Barbie color reveal Disco Star series

One thing that I thought was cool when I saw this series was that all the dolls come with cowboy hats. They also have multicolored hair. The doll that I got has pink and blue hair. I also loved the necklace that this doll came with. This color reveal doll was similar to other color reveal dolls, but I love the theam of this series, and I would recommend adding this to your collection!

Thanks for reading!
