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.

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is crazy that I’m writing this right now ! This year really surprised me with how fast it went by. I’m still going to catch up with my 2025 blog posts but I will also be writing about my adventures in 2026 at the same time to prevent me from getting even more behind. 2025 was a year that was full of adventure, learning , resilience, creativity, and most of all faith. I crossed off a good amount of bucket list items this year. I have not counted them yet but I will in another blog post. Some of this year’s highlights included going to Las Vegas, getting a new tattoo, going on three different road trips, (including two during the summer) , visiting Idaho twice, going to a few different zoos, going to two Mets game, my summer mall weekend, spending time with some of my favorite people ,going to Salvation Mountain, doing lots of shopping, and creating art. I also turned 35 this year and that is hard for me to believe. I don’t feel like I am 35 but truth is truth. Anyways, overall this year was a good one that was full of many blessings. I got back into teaching Sunday school and I attended two wreath making events at my church. I’m looking forward to all the blessings that 2026 has in store. I hope all of you had a blessed year.

Love, Christina Epperly

Thank you so much for following this blog. Now, with all that being said, let’s get to it!
