The last week of March 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

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!

Some photos and highlights from this week!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

It is no secret that I love taking pictures and writing about the fun little things in my everyday life. I thought it would be fun to share some pictures and things that I enjoyed this week. I’m also going to include Friday in this post since I will be including Monday in my next weekend post. Let’s get to it!

Monday – On this day, I worked the opening shift. I got to town early because sometimes it can be hard to get Uber to come to my house quickly. I went to the coffee shop like normal, but I decided that I did not want to wait there until my shift started. Even though I had not planned on it , I went to the thrift store. I was excited when I got to the thrift store, and I saw that there was a buy one get one free on stuffed animals. I got a Build a Bear and a TY Bennie Boo. They were priced at $5 each, so I got them both for only $5. I also got some books and a bag of erasers. After work, I went to Starbucks and went for a walk in the park. That evening, I went on a walk to go see my favorite ponies.

Tuesday – I worked the opening shift this day. Before work I went to the coffee shop and after work I went to the candy store. I was having a craving for chocolate. I got a bunch of chocolate from the bulk bins a, lollypop with a plastic mouth attached, and I also got a soda to do a review of. I have not tried the soda yet, but I plan to soon. I went to the park after work, and I took this really cute selfie on a swing. I ended up making it my profile picture for Facebook and Instagram.

Wednesday – I had this day off. I decided to focus on my writing. I published an article on Vocal Media ( You can read it HERE ). I also published my weekend blog post. ( You can read it HERE ) Other than that, I just stayed home and relaxed except for going on a walk to see my favorite ponies.

Thursday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. It was a normal day with coffee before work. Someone brought donuts to work, and that is all I have to say about Thursday.

Friday – On this day, I worked the opening shift my. My friend took me to work but before that we went to Starbucks. It was great to have coffee with a friend. It is always harder to see friends when everyone’s schedule is different. That was a wonderful way to start my day! My shift went well, and I went to the candy store afterward. I got a ring pop and another lollypop that has plastic lips attached. That evening, I went to Safeway, where I got two juices that have toys as part of the lid, and I also got cupcakes that come with rings. They only had the ones with rings in a large container, so I had some and took the rest to work.

Being social and shopping my week in review

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last week had some really great moments. I decided to make a blog post highlighting those moments. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it!

Monday – This day was a really amazing one. My friend and I both were off on this day, and this is a rare occurrence. I was very excited for us to spend they day together. We did some of our favorite things. We went to Starbucks and went on a walk. went shopping at Five Below, and we ended the day by going to Yogurtland. My friend had never been to Five Below before, and I was excited to show it to her. I got many fun items, including Barbie sunglasses, a Barbie puzzle, a My Little Pony toy, a Barbie tea set, a painting art kit, and new earbuds, I also got a Squishmallow. I’m not going to start collecting them because I collect so many things already, but I was excited about the price, plus they are very cute. It was also a lot of fun going to Yogurtland. I love being creative and making my own frozen yogurt creation. However, the best thing about the day was getting to spend time with my friend.

Tuesday – On this day, I worked the morning shift. Before work, I got coffee at the place I normally do. Work went well, and after work, I got some Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway. It was a simple but good day.

Wednesday – On this day, I also worked the morning shift. I started the day with coffee just like the day before. I also had a good day at work just like I had the day before. However, this day was different because I went to my favorite local thrift store after work. It had not been long since I was there last so there were not a lot of new items but I did get some good items. including an American Girl book and a sheet of Easter stickers. I enjoyed going thrift shopping, of course, but my favorite part of the day was going out to eat with family members that I had not seen in a while. I got to eat pizza and have good conversations. it was a really great day.

Thursday – I was off on this day, and I got to see my friend again. It was a last-minute thing, but I was so excited to see her again. We went to Walgreens and Starbucks. At Walgreens, I got a new Pez dispenser. We only hung out for a little while because I wanted to get back home, but it was truly amazing to see my friend twice in one week.

Thanks for reading about my week! I hope you are all enjoying the month of April!

Celebrating this week’s little moments

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have been told that some people appreciate the way I highlight the little everyday moments in life. I often highlight little moments in my weekend blog posts. However, I have had some fun moments this week that I want to highlight. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it!

Monday- I worked the closing shift on this day. I got coffee before work at a local coffee shop that is close to my work. I enjoyed my coffee, and work went well. After work, I went to Whole Foods. I got some soup because it has definitely been soup weather lately. I also got some boxes of Annie’s macaroni and cheese. I like how the boxes have projects on the back of the box that you can make. Another thing I was excited about getting was the fruit snacks that have trading cards in them. I love how the current series of cards has animals on them. Oh, and I got cinnamon mints, too! It was a good way to start the weekdays.

Tuesday – I had the day off. I stayed home most of the day, but I did go out in the evening. I went to Walgreens, and I got two fun items. One is a bunny shaped pop toy that came with gumballs. The other is a doughnut Pez dispenser. I just love how cute this Pez dispenser is! I wonder what Pez dispenser I will get next.

Wednesday – I was scheduled to work the morning shift this day. However, after I had coffee at the same coffee shop I went to on Monday, I discovered that the power was out at work. Unfortunately, it would not be coming back on soon, and I didn’t want to pay to take another Uber. I decided to stay in town until my mom could pick me up. Frist, I walked to my favorite local thrift shop, but their power was also out. Since I had a lot of time, I walked to the other thrift shop in town. This shop often does not have items that I’m interested in, so I didn’t expect to find anything. However, I’m happy to say that I found a Mickey Mouse hat from Disneyland! Due to the logo on the inside of the hat, I believe that it is from the 2000s. After buying the hat, I walked to the candy store. I ened buying a lollipop that is attached to a plastic bunny mouth, so when you eat the lollipop, it makes you look like a bunny! After that, I just stayed in a park and entertained myself with my phone while I waited for my mom to pick me up. It did start raining at one point, but it was easy to find a place that was covered.

Thanks for reading! I hope you have a lot of great moments this week!

My amazing life this week

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends I’m going to be honest. I’m really loving my life right now. There is something so beautiful about not having to wake up to an alarm clock and rush out the door. This week is so normal and so special at the same time. I already wrote about my Monday ( You can read about it HERE) I thought it would be fun to write a little something about each of my days this week. I do this a lot for weekends. However, this week is different then how my weeks have been so I decided the weekdays needed a blog post this week.

Tuesday- I went into my new job at Urban Remedy! I have really grown to be a huge fan of selfcare and this company is all about self care and health. I’m so happy to be working here!

Wednesday- This day was so amazing that it also got its own blog post! ( You can read about it HERE) The highlights of this day were seeing my wonderful friend, going to a local thrift store and getting my nails done. I also published a post on Vocal Media.

Thursday- I shared my vocal media post on my social media and it got a pretty good response. You can read it HERE) That night I went to Starbucks and Walgreens. At Walgreens I got a few things including popcorn, a drink and lip balm from Burts Bees.

Friday- I went into my job at Urban Remedy to do some training. It went really well. I’m really happy that I got a job here. After work I went to Whole Foods. I got some yummy stuff there including a box of my favorite fruit snacks that come with these cool trading cards.

Thanks for reading about my week!
