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!!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month is turning out to be a lot more fun than I had planned on it being, and that is a very welcome surprise. Last week, I had Wednesday and Thursday off from work. On Wednesday I went into town and I went to a store that I don’t think that I had ever been in before. I got a pair of purple sparkly sunglasses. Then I went to one of my favorite local toy stores. Outside of the store there is a sale table. I saw a Barbie that was out of the box but in good shape. She was only five dollars, so I was more than happy to have her join my collection. Inside the store, I got some ice cream shaped erasers, a very cute and squishy lama toy, and more. I also went to Blue Bottle coffee for the first time. I got an iced coffee, and it was pretty good. It was also a very sunny day and I wore a dress for the first time in a while. The next day, I did not have anything planned, but I was happily surprised when my cousin called and asked if I wanted to go to dinner. We went to the Lazy Dog. I had never been there before but now that I have been I can recommend it. It was really good to get to go to dinner with my cousin. I have wanted to focus on being more social, and I have had some good opportunities to do that this month. After we ate dinner we went to Barns and Noble. I got two books. One was a book made up of a bunch of short Barbie books, and the other was a larger Barbie book that comes with toys. Last week my days off were pretty exciting and I’m happy about that.
Thanks for reading about some of my everyday adventures!
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!
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.
Hello, my bucket list friends it is now May, and I’m preparing for my favorite time of year. I’ve started working on my summer bucket list game and making plans to cross off bucket list items.

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’ve gotten a little bit behind on my blog posts, so I’m going to do one big blog post to catch up before we review the month of march 2024. I’m going to start with Monday, March 25th, so let’s get to it!
Monday March 25th – On this day I got paid and I also went to work. At work, I bought a bunch of Easter stuff, including a bunny shape basket. It seems like we have holiday items for a long time and as it get closer to whatever holiday they start selling out all of a sudden. I remember there being a good amount of baskets left on this day. Then, not very long after this, we had little to no baskets left. One of the best pieces of advice I can give you as a retail worker is buy seasonal items as soon as you can, especially if you lived in an overpopulated area like I do.
Tuesday, March 26th – Another work day, but it was a nice day. I love the pictures that I took before work in the sunshine. I also bought a Squishmallow on this day because it was on sale and it is super cute.
Wednesday, March 27th – Another work day, but I went to Safeway before walking over to work. At Safeway, I got juice that comes with toys. I also opened up a surprise toy that I had at home on this day. You can see the video of me opening it on my Instagram. ( summerrockstar) I was surprised that the toy was so cute! Opening a cute toy before work is a good way to put you in a good mood . before you start your shift.
Thursday, March 28th – I had this day off. I opened up some surprise egg toys that I had been meaning to open. In order to get to the surprise inside of the egg, you had to use tools to dig the toys out of the eggs. it was messy but fun. The thing that I was most excited about on this day was going to Target. I decided to do a pick-up order to save time. There were a lot of items that you could order through the target app, but I could not see what items were in the dollar section. When it was time to pick up my order after making a stop for coffee, I went into Target. I went to the dollar section before going to pick up my order. I saw many cute items in the dollar section. I ended up getting some fidget toys, including two very cute jellyfish toys that I made a video about. You can also see that on my Instagram. I also got a Barbie notebook and a package of bath crayons before going to pick up my order. In my order, I got food, but I also got some fun items, including craft kits, bath bombs, stickers, and a coloring book. While I was picking up my order, I noticed some Target stickers at the pick-up counter. I asked if I could have some, and I was so happy when the employee handed me a few stickers. Later that day, I went with my mom to an event at her work it was a great day off.
Friday, March 29 – I had work on this day, and I knew that this day may be one of my last chances to buy Easter
I bought a bunch of items but not just Easter items. I bought a mini backpack that comes with stickers and other items, a set of hairbows, surprise toys, and more. I LOVE the bunny plush I got on this day! It is so cute! I loved bunnies as a kid, and holding this plush bunny reminded me of that. I decided since I got so many items today that I would not buy any items at work the next day, but as you will see, things did not go according to plan.
Saturday, March 30th – I had work on this day, but I woke up kind of early to go to an appointment with my mom, and then we went to get coffee. I did not have until later in the day, so we went home for a while. I was having a good day. I got to see some of my neighbors, and that was nice. I also used my new bath crayons in the shower. Before work, I went to Safeway. At Safeway, I got some things for lunch. I also got my favorite fruit snacks that have trading cards with them. I also got more juices that come with toys. Since it was the day before Easter, I got some cookies to share with my coworkers. I was in a really good mood when I git to work. Unfortunately, my good mood did not stay. My work was beyond busy! It was very overwhelming, and dealing with some people in the public can be very challenging . Today was a very challenging day. I ended up buying some toys to give me so temporary joy. I was very stressed when the day ended.
Sunday, March 31st – I also had work on this day, but I started my Sunday the way I start a lot of my Sundays. I went and got coffee and I went to church. Church was good but It was very busy because it was Easter. After church, there was a potluck. After church, I went home and took a nap before going to work. I got coffee before work. Work was very slow, but it was nice compared to the day before. I did buy a few things at work, including this really awesome detangling hair brush, and that was my last day of March 2024!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! As many of you know, my work schedule changes every week, so my days off are always changing. I don’t have traditional weekends, but I still think Saturdays and Sundays are enjoyable. This weekend, I happened to have a Saturday off. I hope all of you had a great weekend, even if you had work.
Friday, March 22nd – I had work on this day. I worked the same shift that I have been working lately. During my break, I bought a sticker activity book. I have been really into stickers lately. I got some other items at work on this day too including two more Good 2 Grow juice tops to add to my collection. If you collect Good 2 Grow juice tops, I highly recommend getting the app.
Saturday, March 23rd – I had this day off, but I had to get up kind of early to go to an appointment in Napa. On the way back, we stopped at Michaels, and I got a bunch of stickers, of course. There was a very large selection of stickers. I was very excited to see some summer stickers. I also got a Barbie Pez dispenser and a wooden painting craft kit. We also picked up lunch at Baja Fresh, which is a very underrated place, in my opinion. There were free Easter pencils there and I was very happy. Later that day we went on a walk. It was an overall good day off.
Sunday, March 24th – I had work on this day, but not until later in the day. Before church, I got coffee. When we went to go get coffee, there was a husky in a car, and I howled, and the dog howled back it was so cute! I wish I had it on video. It was palm Sunday, so we had palm branches decorating the church. After church, there was a lunch, and I ended up staying for a long time. It was good to hang out and talk to people that I don’t normally get to talk to for more than a minute or so. At work, I noticed that there were some good sales on Easter items. I got this singing shark toy that comes with candy. I had been wanting it and I was very happy to see that it was on sale for a good price. I also got a Pez dispenser and a peeps treasure chest that was on sale, too.
Thanks for reading about my weekend! Love, Christina Epperly!
