Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m here to share three fun March adventures with you. I’m happy to say that I made it to the Dollar Tree this month I don’t get to go as often as I would like to so it was a highlight for sure. I got some great items there that I’m excited to tell you about so let’s get to it.

03/23/25 – On this day I went to Monterey . My mom and I explored the Colton Hall museum. It it free to go to and It is an interesting place as well. I bought some post cards here. I love the bear statues outside. While in Monterey we also got lunch and salt water taffy.

This was the day I went to the Dollar Tree. I needed a reward for completing my taxes. Taxes always stress me out. I was very happy to go to the Dollar Tree after the stress of doing my taxes. I was excited to see the seasonal items. I got some Easter Craft Kits and a set of Easter rings. I love the ring set ,it is just so cute. Other Items I bought on this shopping trip include Two Lisa Frank coloring books, a Barbie coloring book, stickers, a notebook that comes with stickers, Barbie socks, surprise toys and Squishmallow toothpaste. I had a fun time going to the Dollar tree and I’m excited for my next trip there!

On this day I did a Target pick-up order. I got a bunch of different items but my favorite items that I got were bath bombs with prizes, a bunch of Easter stickers, two craft kits and two surprise toys. I love doing pick-up orders at Target. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading about some of my adventures!

My first mall trip of 2025 !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.

February 26th 2025

I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!

My first Savers haul of 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Wednesday, I went to Savers for the first time this year. I got to spend a good amount of the there. I got a lot of craft kits, including an American Girl craft kit. I also got two Barbie dolls, a pair of sunglasses, a bag full of American flag pins, and some books. I was hoping that I would find more books than I did. I was really hoping to find some Barbie or American Girl books that I didn’t have, but unfortunately, I didn’t. But I did get some My Little Pony books and two short animal books. One highlight of this thrift shopping trip was when I got this beautiful Justice brand tote bag. It looks like it hasn’t been used at all. I also got a braclet that had the original tag on it. There were  a good amount of Squishmallows here, but I didn’t see any that I really wanted. Overall, I’m happy with my first Savers trip of the year. I  wonder what other items I will get at thrift stores this year.

My marvelous Monday staring Walgreens

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. I’ve been meaning to make this post, and now a week later I’m finally sharing it with you. without any more delay here is a post about my Monday last week. My big highlight on this day was going to Walgreens. I was excited to go there because it was the day after Easter, and I knew that the Easter items would be on sale. There was a fair amount of Easter items still avaalible. There were a lot of these popper toys that came with gumballs that were on sale for less than a dollar. I already had one of them, but due to the price, I got more of them. I also got this super cute bunny plush that came with jelly beans. In addition to those items, I got some Easter chocolates, and outside of the Easter section, I got this very cute sun catcher art kit. Before I went home, I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee it was my second coffee of the day because I had also gotten a hot coffee before work that morning. It was a pretty good Monday. I hope all of you are having a great Monday today!

Thank you for reading!

Blogmas day 15 an evening shopping trip to Target

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! For today’s blog post, I’m going to talk about my latest Target run! Christmas is approaching fast. Before I know it, I will be writing my Christmas day post. However, for now, I’ll focus on writing this post. Yesterday evening I went to Target. I needed to get some gifts. I really like going to Target and seeing what fun stuff I can find there. Along with the gifts, I also got some stuff for myself. In the dollar section, I got two craft kits. In other areas of the store,I found more items that I decided to bring home with me. I got some Kinder Joy eggs,a pair of cute socks,two peppermint lollipops,and a juice with a toy on top. However,my favorite thing that I got was a Barbie doll. This Barbie doll is different from the regular Barbie dolls that I have. This doll is called my first Barbie. She is larger than most Barbie dolls. She has a really unique look, and I’m very happy to have her in my collection. I was happy with my trip to Target, and after shopping, we got Starbucks at the location inside of Target. I did have fun at Target, but it was pretty crowded. As it gets closer to Christmas, I bet things will get more crowded. I’m glad that I have most of my Christmas shopping done already.

Blogmas day 3 candy, play-doh, and more!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Well, it looks like we have made it to blogmas day 3. For today’s blogmas, I thought I would talk about what I did yesterday. I had some time before work after I got dropped off in town, so I decided to visit the coffee shop and the candy store. My main reason for going to the candy store was to buy a mineral water, but while I was there, I also got this lollipop holder that is shaped to look like Sky from Paw Patrol. Then I went to work and had a good and normal day at work. After work, I went to Safeway. I got food, of course, but I also got some fun things too. I got two containers of play-doh,some flavored candy canes, a container that had two Hot Wheels color reveal cars inside, and three chocolate candies that each come with a toy. I was happy with my first set of color reveal cars, and I’m excited to see what cars I get this time. Thanks for reading, and have a great last month of 2022!

Midweek Christmas themed Target adventure

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Yesterday was one of my days off this week and I’m happy to say that I went to Target! I really wanted to shop for some Christmas items before a lot of items get bought up. Before I went to Target I stopped at Starbucks. There is something special about shopping while drinking coffee. When I got to Target I first looked in the dollar section where I got a pair of socks before I continued on to the Christmas section. You could tell that a lot of people had been here but there was still plenty to choose from. They had a great selection of three dollar ornaments. I kept finding super cute ones and adding them to my basket. There was also a large selection of Christmas candy. I got two peppermint lollipops and candy cane flavored mints. I had seen pictures of some of the fun Christmas items Target has this year and one item I was really interested in was the Target gingerbread store kit so I made sure to get one of thoes. Another item that I was looking for was the Hot Wheels Target truck. I’m very happy to say that I found this item. It came with a cute little Target shopping cart! After finding all those items, there was one more thing I was excited to buy. Christmas themed bath bombs with prizes! They had a set that had six bath bombs in it so that is what I ended up getting. I also got a craft kit because I almost always find more items then I thought I would when I go to Target. I will say however that if you are wanting to get Christmas items from Target I would get them sooner rather than later.

My fun shopping adventure at Five Below

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! On Wednesday I had the day off and I was excited because there is now a Five Below store in a city that is near me. I love going to five Below but I have only been when I have been traveling. If you have not heard of Five Below let me tell you a little bit about it. Five Below is a discount store like Dollar Tree but there prices are typically five dollars and lower. However they also have some higher priced items. I was excited all day for my evening trip to Five Below. Before we went to Five Below we stopped at Starbucks. When we arrived at five below we were greeted by an employee. I was very excited to get my shopping trip started. I saw that they had Christmas items displayed in the front area of the store. I started my shopping by adding a pair of slipper socks to my basket. I loved that they had a candy cane pattern on them because I love candy canes! In the Toy section I was so happy to see that they had Breyer horses! I got one of thoes of course. Also in the Toy section I got a plastic lollipop that has squishy toys inside of it. Back in the Christmas section I got a 12 days of socks advent calendar. In the technology section I got a water resistant speaker that was priced a little over $5. My adventure continued when I found Kinder Joy Christmas eggs. I’m excited to see what kind of Christmas themed toys I got. I’m very happy to say that my Five Below haul also included a wooden animal craft kit. In addition to all of those great items I alao got some Sour Patch Kids popcorn! I haven’t tried it yet but I’m looking forward to it. When I try it I will post a review on my blog! Shopping at Five Below was a prefect activity to do on my day off!
