Drink review! Warheads sour green apple soda.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It’s time for another drink review. Today I’m reviewing Warheads sour green apple soda. I got this can of soda at a candy store in Monterey. I’ve been excited to try it and today on my lunch break I finally did. I love the green color and the apple pictures on this can. When I fist tasted this soda I could  immediately taste the apple flavor. It took a few seconds for me to notice the sour flavor. I could definitely taste the sour taste but it was not unpleasant. I really enjoyed the apple flavor. I found this soda very easy to drink. I’m so happy I decided to review this dink because I like it a lot. I highly recommend trying this soda  especially if you are a fan of sour apple candy!

New Barbie color reveal doll and a Target shopping trip!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Yesterday I went on an evening trip to Target. I love going to Target! I was excited to see what fun thinhs I would get this this time! My main reason for going to Target was to get bath bombs. I got three bath bombs. Two of them have prizes inside and the third one is moon shaped and lavender scented. Lavender is one of my favorite scents. I love the bath bomb selection at Target! I also love the sock selection at Target. I got one pair of socks yesterday. I chose a pair that had panda bears on them. I went to check out the Barbie section and I was super happy to see that there was a new series of Barbie color reveal dolls. This series has a rainy day theme. Also while I was in the toy section I got a package of scented Play-Doh. Another cool thing I got was a package of word beads in the arts and crafts area. I also got some food and drinks. I’m excited to do a review on one of the drinks I got. Now let’s talk about today. Since today is a pretty relaxed day,I decided to see what Barbie color reveal doll I got. Since I didn’t have any dolls in this series, I knew I wouldn’t get a doll that I already had. The doll I got is the one with green hair and a green outfit. She is absolutely beautiful! I just love her hair and her outfit! I want to get more dolls in this series but I really don’t like getting doubles since color reveal dolls are on the expensive side. However, I may just get one more and take a chance!

Play-Doh kit fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! Recently I got this super cute Play-Doh kit from Walgreens. I’m home from work today not feeling the best but I did have the desire to open up this Play-Doh kit and use the animal shaped cookie cutters inside. There are a lot of cookie cutters in the kit. I decided to make one animal shape for each color of Play-Doh that came with the kit. There were seven colors in the kit but there were a lot more cookie cutters! There were so many to choose from. My three favorite cookie cutter shapes are the Teddy bear, the fish, and the cat! I had fun cutting out the shapes. It was a good mix of fun and relaxing. Maybe I should do more blog posts about Play-Doh because I really enjoyed doing this one!

Trader Joe’s chili pineapple kettle popcorn review

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! I had a fun time reviewing the Key lime kettle popcorn from Trader Joe’s. (You can read my review HERE) When I was in shopping on Sunday I saw another flavor of kettle popcorn at Trader Joe’s that I had not seen before. This time it was a chili pineapple flavor. It sounded very interesting and I just had to try it. I do enjoy spicy food but not if it’s overpowering. I was very curious about the flavor. When I took the kettle popcorn out of the bag, I took a picture of what it looked like. You can see the little bits of chili on the pieces of kettlepopcorn. I could taste both the chili and the pineapple flavors. For me the spicy flavor can be a bit much after a while. I do appreciate the mix of sweet and spicy but I have to say I like the key lime kettle popcorn better. I have not finished this bag yet and if I’m remembering correctly I finished the key lime kettle popcorn a lot quicker. This flavor is not bad by any means but I probably will not be getting another bag.

A fun filled day in Monterey!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! On Saturday I went on a day trip to Monterey. My mom and I started our day by getting a tour of the Monterey state historic park. The tour started at the custom house that is located right next to old fishermen’s wharf. My mom and I were the the only people who showed up for the tour so it ended up being a private tour. The tour was very informative about the history of Monterey. My favorite part of the tour was the beautiful gardens we got to vist. One of gardens had Koi fish. I loved watching them swim around. The tour ended at the Pacific house. The thing I loved about this place the most was that it had a free museum. There were several interesting exhibits to see here. There is also a gift shop. I got some souvenires here. There is also a gift shop at the custom house. After exploring the museum we went back down to the wharf. There were a bunch of sea lions hanging out near the wharf. I got some really good pictures of them. I have visited the wharf before and I have a favorite gift shop and a favorite candy store there. I went to both. I got some great souvenires at the gift shop including a new snow globe for my collection! At the candy store I got a bunch of taffy! I love getting taffy at this candy store. The have barrels full of it and there are so many flavors to choose from. After shopping we walked a little bit on a path near the wharf. We did walk very far because we were in a two hour parking spot and we needed to move. After our adventures at the wharf we went to meet my dad for lunch. We went to a restaurant called Tarpy’s Roadhouse. The food was great and so was the location. There was a pond here that had lots of turtles in it. I had a great day in Monterey!
