A Goodwill trip, a surprise party ,Easter items, and more!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This post is gonna be about a bunch of different things that happened starting the day I made my way back home from Death Valley. I have a few things that I want to talk about, but since the month is almost over, I’m just going to put them into one post. With that being said, let’s get to it!

2/23 – This was the day that I came back from Death Valley. On the way back, we stopped at a Goodwill. There were a lot of items from Target there, including craft kits. I got some of those. The bad thing about this stop is that the lines were super long. However, I’m happy with the items that I got, including a new purse and some shirts. When we made it back home, I didn’t have a lot of downtime before it was time to go to a family surprise party. I was really looking forward to going to the party and I had a great time. I’m glad I was able to make it to the party.

2/24 – On this day, I had work, but before that, I went to Safeway. One of the first things that I saw when I went into Safeway was some new Hot Wheels cars. I got two of them. Another item that I was really excited about was a set of Peeps finger puppets. I saw this this item before, but I didn’t get it. I decided to get it this time, and I’m happy that I did. I also got a Peeps egg that has a surprise inside. Before work started, I got a Nerf football Valentine’s Day toy and candy set that was on sale. during my break at work, I got another hot wheel car and a Peeps Pez dispenser.

2/25 – I had work again on this day, but I started the day by going to church and getting coffee. After church, I went on a bunch of errands, including going to Trader Joe’s, where I got free stickers. Getting stickers at Trader Joe’s is one of my new favorite things. At work that day, I got another Valentines’ Day item, a teddy bear that came with a heart-shaped box of chocolate. I also got  two more Easter items, another PEZ dispenser, and a cross shaped lollypop that comes with a bookmark and more. I love all the Easter items that my work has.

2/26 – Another work day and another day that I bought Easter items. I love this cross tin that I got. I also got a Peeps treasure chest.

2/27 – This day at work, I got a hat that was on sale as well as a pair of bunny ears and an Easter necklace. I also got some markers that were on sale and an Easter surpise toy.

2/ 28 – Yesterday was pretty much the same as the days before I  got coffee and went to work. I got a unicorn and two Easter Kinder eggs on my break. It was a beautiful sunny day and I’m missing it already.

Target shopping and a cute turtle

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve gotten behind on blog posts lately. If you follow me on Instagram (Summerrockstar) or X aka Twitter ( mallstar), you know that I went on a vacation to Death Valley National Park. There may be some of you who are waiting for my posts about that, and I will get to it soon. However, before that, I wanted to do a post about a shopping trip to Target that I went on as well as an item that I got at another store. With all that being said, let’s get to it!

Saturday 2/ 17 On this day, I had work, but I left the house early so I could have time to go to Target before work. I got two bath bombs. Target has one of my favorite brands of bath bombs that have prizes inside! I also got some fun items in the dollar section, like light up bath cubes and shoe charms. In the seasonal section, I got an egg with a toy hidden inside. Other items I got included stickers and a hair clip. It was a good Target run. After Target, we went to Whole Foods. At Whole Foods, I got this plush turtle that hugs you. I had it on my arm the rest of the day, including at work. Speaking of work, I got two more surprise eggs that have toys inside. I’m excited to see what toys they have in them.

Buying fun items from work including a bunch of surprise toys

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is the last day of the first month of 2024! Before I do my things I love post to wrap up the month. I wanted to do a post highlighting the latest things I bought at work. The first thing I want to talk about is the Melissa and Doug magic velvet art set that I bought on Monday. This set comes with markers and six velvet pages to color. I’ve already started coloring some of the pages, and I really love this little art kit. Also, on Monday, I got a container of puppycorns toys. I have not opened it yet, but I think it would be a perfect item to do a toy review on. Yesterday, I got 12 surprise toys! I got this many because they went on clearance. I like that these surprise toys come with stickers. I’m excited to see if I can get one of the rare toys. I hope all of you had a great first month of 2024!

The little things I enjoyed on Sunday and Monday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. One of my favorite sayings is enjoy the little things. I wanted to highlight the little things I loved on Sunday and Monday. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Sunday – I started work later in the day. I sept in and took it easy until it was time to leave for work. Before work, I went to Safeway, where I got food and a hot wheels car. Then I went to get coffee. After that, I went to work early so I could buy something before I had to clock in. I bought this super cute Melissa and Doug sticker activity kit. Also, during my day at work, I got two chocolates that have toys inside and a container of squishy toys that are part of our Valentines Day seasonal items.

Monday – I had this day off! I slept in again, and I took it easy until my mom and I went into town. Our first stop was coffee, of course, then Pet Co, where I saw some very cute kittens. After Pet Co, I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Being there made me feel young again. I got four pencils for a dollar because that’s something I would have gotten as a kid. I also got some some plastic sea animals, rubber ducks, a Pez disperser that is shaped like a truck, and a pen with a plastic heart on top. After that we went for a walk in the park. There is supposed to be rain coming this way soon, so it was nice to get outside for a walk. After our walk, I went to the movie theater to pick up a prize pack that I had won. Before walking back to the car, I went to the candy store, and I got some of the stickers that they had there.

There you have it some of the little things that I have enjoyed lately!

Lots of clearance shopping and buying new seasonal items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As some of you know, I work at Walgreens. One of my favorite sections of the store is the seasonal isle. Right now, there are some big changes going on in the seasonal isle. The Christmas items are on clearance, and the Valentines Day items are being put on the shelves. We are also putting out more outdoor toys. I have done my fair share of clearance shopping. I’m surprised at how many times are left. I’ve gotten some great clearance items, including a gel timer and surprise toys that also come with candy, a leopard print tumbler, a bucket of fake snow that has toys inside, nail stickers, GooToobz toys, a Squishmallow hooded blanket, and a drawing game. I’ve also been getting some of the new seasonal items. I got some Valentine’s Day Pez dispensers, a bucket of outdoor toys, and a squishy toy shaped like an ice cream cone. I’m excited to see what seasonal items will be on the shelves next! Have you bought any clearance items this year?

A new squishmallow and another trip to the mall!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It’s January, but stores are getting for Valentine’s Day. That includes the store where I work. I was very happy when I saw that we had some Valentine’s Day Squishmallows out. I chose a cat squishmallow that is holding a heart. She is super cute, and I was very excited to bring her home with me. Yesterday, I went to the mall for the 2nd time this year. The main reason I went was to get a massage, but I also stopped by Claire’s. I got some cute hair bows and other hair accessories. I also got two bracelets. I feel good overall about how this year has started.

The end of 2023 and the start of 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is great to be here in 2024! I wanted to write a quick post about how 2023 ended for me and how 2024 started. The time between Christmas and New Years is kind of weird. However, I was able to do some fun things during that time. I went to the Goodwill where I got some books, a Barbie horse with saddle, and two Barbie dolls that I believe are from the 90s. Right after that, I went to Target, where I got a bunch of bath bombs on sale , a Pez dispenser, a Kinect Sand playset, and two rubber ducks. There was also a day when I went to brunch with my sister and after that I went to the Dollar Tree. At the Dollar Tree, I got some fun items blind bag toys, and some Valentine’s Day items. On the last day of the year, I went to church, Target, Burger King, and my friends house, where we celebrated the new year. It was hard to stay up, but we did it! The next day, we ended up going to the mall it was a great way to start the new year. Since the new year has started, things have been pretty much the same. Recently, I got a Squishmallow at work that was on sale for a dollar. I also got a notebook and gel pens. I am looking forward to the adventures that I will have this year. I pray that all of you have a happy and safe new year!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Friday, we had an employee shopping day at work where we got a bigger discount than normal. I had the day off but I came in to shop. I mainly got household items, but I also got a large Squishmallow and a pair of fuzzy socks! The next day at work, I noticed a Barbie activity kit that I had not seen before. I was so excited when it came time for my break. I went and bought it right away! It is a simple kit that has an activity pad and stickers, but I’m still really happy that I got it!
