My review of Starbuck’s merry mint drink blogmas day 14

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I was very excited when I saw that Starbucks had a new limited edition holiday drink. This drink is only available on the app. I’m actually drinking it right now as I write this! I have to say that I love it! Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors, and this drink has the perfect amount of it! It is very sweet. If you don’t like sugary drink, then this is not a drink for you. On the other hand, if you love sweet drinks, I recommend giving this one a try!

A snowman craft kit and peppermint bliss blogmas day 5

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! Somehow, it is already December 5th ! Yesterday, I had the day off, and during my quick trip into town, I got a peppermint mocha at Starbucks and a candy cane at Safeway. I have loved peppermint for a very long time, and I get excited when I see peppermint flavored treats in stores. I was truly in peppermint bliss yesterday with both of the treats that I got. I also decided to make a snowman wreath with a craft kit that I had gotten at a thrift store. I did not see any directions, so I did my own thing. I’m happy with the way that it turned out even though it is different than the picture on the front of the package. It was a fun and cute craft kit, and I’m glad I put it together yesterday.

Hello, My bucket list friends! Yesterday, I used these awesome Whole Foods candy cane bath bombs. I love candy canes and these bath bombs smelled just like peppermint candy! I’ve also discovered that I like holding the bath bombs when I put them in the water. What kind of bath bombs do you like ?

Blogmas day 10 , peppermint marshmallows !!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I love trying peppermint flavored treats. When I saw that Trader Joe’s had peppermint flavored marshmallows I was excited because I don’t useally get to have marshmallows because they have gelatin in them. However Trader Joe’s marshmallows don’t have gelatin in them so they are vegetarian friendly. These marshmallows had a light and pleasant peppermint flavor. They would be perfect for hot chocolate. What is your favorite peppermint flavored treat?

Disney Land resort candy cane !!!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends !I’m so happy that I was able to get one of the very popular Disneyland resort candy canes on my vacation. ( you can read more about it HERE ) I finally got around to trying my candy cane and I can’t wait to tell you about it so here we go !

 

Disney Land candy cane !!!

Today was the day I finally tried my Disneyland resort candy cane . My candy cane had been split in two pieces from carrying it around the parks in my backpack. I’m glad it was in two pieces because this candy cane is big ! When I tried the candy cane I noticed it’s bold sweet flavor right away ! I also noticed that the candy cane was softer than other candy canes I’ve had before making it easier to eat. I’m a major peppermint lover and this candy cane really had one of the best tasting peppermint flavors that I have ever had. After tasting this candy cane I know what really makes this candy cane so popular ! It has a strong peppermint flavor but it also has enough sweetness that the peppermint is not over powering. If you are a fan of candy canes I recommend trying a Disneyland candy cane !   Rock On – Christina Epperly

Random and fun facts about me :)

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello , my bucket list friends .  I want to post on this blog as much as possible because I love writing so much . I thought it would be fun to do some and random facts about me so here we go !

Random facts about me !

  1. I have a few different collections . I made a you tube video about my snow globe collection ( you can watch it here ) but I also collect post cards , My Little pony toys , stuffed animals rubber ducks , and I have smaller collections of key chains and magnets . Take a look at my bedroom tour video ( right here ) to see glimpse of some of my other collections !

 

 

2.  I have three amazing rescue cats

I have three beautiful cats the First two Sherri and Blanca were adopted from the same animal shelter . Sherri in 2008 and Blanca in 2014 . Sherri was found walking around the street and had been at the shelter for three months . When I first met her , she stuck her head right in my purse and stole my heart . She is a sweet independent girl who can steal your heart with one look .  In 2014 I saw Blanca on the the shelter’s website she was a beautiful fluffy black cat who was estimated to be about 16 years old . Apparently she had been living in a home with other cats that were picking on her . When I went to the shelter to adopt her I found out that she had been brought there to be put down but there was not a medical reason to do so . She is such a sweet cat and I’m glad I was able to rescue her . She loves to cuddle ! Cooper joined our family in 2016 I was working at Talbots and my boss at the time told me that she was caring for a kitten that her neighbor had found in a trashcan outside of a mall . She was looking for a home for him and I was able to adopt him . I named him Cooper after Alice Cooper .  He is so full of energy and curiosity it’s been so much fun watching him grow into the amazing cat he is today .

 

 

 

3. I miss horse back ridding !

When I was a kid I loved horses. I had many toy horses and I enjoyed watching movies about horses.  I took ridding lessons and even went to horse camp but I really can’t remember when the last time I road a horse was but I hope I can ride again very soon !

 

 

4. I love peppermint !

I have loved candy canes for as long as I can remember . Of course I love the round peppermints too but I get so excited when the candy canes come out in stores. They have many different flavors of candy canes now but peppermint is my favorite ! I also love things that are peppermint scented like soap and of course peppermint essential oil !

5. I was on the mock trial team my senior year of high school

I had so much fun being apart of the mock trial team I wish I would have done it all four years ! I remember being so nervous to go to real court room and sit in a real witness stand  but I ended up really liking being apart of the team and I by the end of it I think I found being in the court room more exciting than scary .

 

That’s all for this time
