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!

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!

A Tuesday evening at the beach

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! I live pretty close to the beach but I don’t go very often.  However for the second time this summer I made it to the beach. After work on Tuesday my mom and I went to the beach and we brought Axle (a very cute dog ) with us. We went to the same beach that we went to last time. This time when we arrived there were a few parking places to choose from. I went to the store first because I was pretty hungry after work. This time we decided to walk on the beach in the other direction then we had last time. I enjoyed walking on the beach and putting my feet in the water. This part of the beach had a lot of rocks that made it hard to walk close to the water. However, it was fun to look at the rocks and shells on the beach. I also had a fun time taking pictures. I love taking selfies but there is something especially fun about taking selfies at the beach. The weather was comfortable and Axle had a great time as always. He was very happy that I got some cheese at the store. After walking on the rocky part of the beach we went back and walked the other way for a little while. Going to the beach was a great way to wrap up a weekday. Thanks for reading!

My latest weekend adventures!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! It’s time for another weekend blog post! This weekend I went to a local attraction that I had never been to before and went thrift shopping. I’m excited to tell you all about that and more! Before we dive into my weekend I just wanted to say that I usually start my weekend posts with what I did on Friday. However,I already covered that in another post. ( You can read about it HERE) Now, with all being said let’s get into my weekend adventures.

Saturday – My big adventure on Saturday was going to visit Hakone Gardens for the first time. This attraction is pretty close to where I live but I had never visited it before. Before we went to the garden my mom and I stopped at Starbucks for some cold drinks because it was a hot day. When we got to the gardens we parked in the large parking lot. I was both happy and surprised to see that it wasn’t very busy. We went to the gift shop to buy our tickets for the garden. I also got some souvenires. After the gift shop it was time to explore the gardens. There where many beautiful things to see in Hakone Gardens. Some of my favorites are the water fall, the Koi fish in the pond, the bamboo garden and this cute little bridge. I had a fun time taking pictures and walking around the gardens. There were some spots where there was a really good view. There was some construction going on so we didn’t get to explore all of the paths around the garden but I’m very happy with what we were able to see especially the waterfall. Waterfalls are so relaxing to watch and listen to. I also liked that there was a good amount of shade in the gardens because it was a very hot and sunny day. After enjoying the garden we went to one of my favorite Goodwill locations. I did not get a huge haul on this thrift trip but I did find some fun things that I was excited to take home with me. Goodwill gets items from Target that they didn’t sale and on this thrift shopping adventure every thing I got except for one thing came from the Target section.The one item that I got that was not from Target was a craft kit. This craft kit comes with a roll of tape that has designs on it and markers to color it with. This was an interesting craft kit and I was happy to have found it at the Goodwill. The other things that I got that were from the Target section where a wooden craft kit, an ice skating Barbie doll, and some summer themed bubbles. I’m happy with my small but awesome thrift haul. After Goodwill we went to Starbucks again for more cold drinks because it was a very hot day.

Sunday – I did some errands on Sunday. I was also having bad muscle pain on my side so I didn’t have that much fun when I was out running errands. However I still went to Starbucks and I also went to Safeway and got chocolate that had prizes inside. I’m happy to say that I’m feeling much better now and I was still able to enjoy my weekend.
