summer fun before my mall weekend

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m thankful that I still have a lot of summer posts to write because it allows me to reflect back on all the fun summer adventures that I had this year. In this post, I will be talking about the time between my Las Vegas trip and my mall weekend tradition. I’m excited to write another post about my summer fun, so let’s ger to it.

June 14th – This was the day after we came back from Las Vegas. I had work, but before work, my mom and I went to Target. One of the main reasons we went to Target on this day was because we wanted to participate in Joyride Day. All you had to do was take a picture holding joyride candy and post it on Instagram. I love Joyride Candy, so I bought some, and I also did a pick-up order where I got some fun items such as the new playdoh Barbie and a monster truck painting craft kit. I also got three fun items from the dollar section. I got a 4th of July scratch art kit, a pinball game that has a flamingo on it, and a squishy turtle toy. It was a great Target shopping trip. I also got coffee and I went on a walk in the park on this day. At work that day I got two activity books one was a sticker book and another one was a coloring book. It was a good day that was full of summer fun!

June 15th – This day was Father’s Day. We went out to lunch to celebrate. After lunch we went on a walk and then we went to Starbucks it was a nice day.

June 16th – The highlights of this day were getting Starbucks and going for a walk in the park.

June 17th – On this day, I went to Starbucks and bought some pens at work.

June 18th – On this day I went to my favorite used book store after getting coffee. I got some fun books including a coloring book. In addition to the used book store I went to 7-eleven and I got a Slurpee in a reusable cup. I also went on a walk later that day.

Shopping at an LA target and getting all dressed up

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In November, I went on a quick trip to LA. It was more of a business trip than a vacation, but I did get to go shopping at a really nice Target store, and I actually put make-up on.

11/14 – This was the day I left for LA, and It was also red cup day at Starbucks. I got my free Starbucks cup at my usual Starbucks location before going to the airport. I arrived in LA that evening.

11/ 15 – This was the day that I went to Target . The Christmas items were out, and I was very excited about that. I got two of the Christmas birds, and I’m really glad that I did because they are sold out at my local Targets now. I’m also glad that I got some Christmas craft kits. Some of the other things that I got were a box of air head that came with stickers, Christmas bath bombs with prizes inside, a Target dog Pez dispenser, a cup that has gingerbread men on it and a cute straw, two different surprise toys, and some Joy Ride candy! After Target I went to Ross I don’t normally go to Ross but I needed to get a dress. While I was at ross, I got an art kit, a Barbie school supplies set, and a hair bow. I also got the perfect dress. The prices at Ross are really good and I want to go to a ross again sometime.

11/16 – This was the day I got dressed up. Getting dressed up is not something I do often, but I was pretty happy with how I looked. Actually, I take that back. I was very happy with the way that I looked. I even made one of the photos of me in that dress my profile picture on social media. Maybe I should dress up more often.

11/17 – This was the day I went back home. I did some shopping at the airport before going home. I do like LA, and I hope to go back sometime.

My 34th birthday!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, my bucket list friends ! A little less than a month ago I turned 34 years old. I had a great day celebrating and I can’t wait to tell you about it so let’s get to it!

August 26th – This was the day that I officially became 34 years old. I took the day off from work to celebrate. I had a nice day at home and then I went out to eat that evening. My parents and I went to a really great Chinese food restaurant. Both the food and the service was amazing. It was the perfect place to go to celebrate my birthday. After dinner I went to one of my favorite places and that place is Target! I bought a bunch of fun things! I love the Barbie pop reveal doll that I got. Some other things that I got are stickers, bath bombs that have prizes inside, a Barbie surprise toy, surprise squishy toys, and crayons. After my Target shopping spree I went to Safeway to get a birthday cake. I chose a beautiful ice cream cake. I put some My Little Pony candles that I had on my cake. It was a great birthday!

Target shopping and a cute turtle

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.

A Trip to Target on my day off

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Wednesday I had the day off I decided that my big event of the day would be going to Target. When I got to Target, my first goal was to get a Barbie pop reveal doll. When I looked online, I saw that there were not many in stock. When I got to the Barbie isle, I was happy to see that they had the one that I wanted. I also was happy that there were Barbie pets that had two pets in each package. I got two packages. I looked around the toy section to see if there was anything else that I wanted. I got a container of kinetic sand that comes with an animal toy. I went to the dollar section, but I didn’t see anything that I wanted. In the area where they have the trading cards, I got a ball that has three surprise squishy toys inside. In the art isle, I got a pack of scented Crayola colored pencils. I also got food as well, and that was my trip to Target!

A decoupage art kit and a trip to Target

Hello, my bucket list, friends! While the summer months are pretty jammed packed with adventure, these next few months are pretty slow. However, I’m pretty good at finding things to blog about. Anyways, on Wednesday I had the day off, and I did two fun things. The first thing I want to talk about is the decoupage art kit that I got from The Goodwill in Connecticut. I have had this kit since June, and I have been wanting to use it for a while. I finally used it and I have to say I loved doing decoupage and I want to do it again. The cat that I made with the kit turned out super cute, and I want to do another kit like this one, but I have not seen many of them around. The second thing I did on Wednesday that I wanted to talk about was that I went to Target. One of the main reasons that I wanted to go to Target was to get a new Barbie color reveal doll. When I was at Target, I debated if I should get one or two color reveal dolls.  I decided to get one doll and a Barbie activity kit. Some other fun things I got were two pairs of socks, a pencil pouch, and a bath bomb with a prize inside. I also got two Kinder Joy eggs. The Kiner Joy eggs I got were a part of the National Parks series. I had not seen those kind in a while so I looked and I saw that they were expired. I still wanted the toys that were in them, so I asked for and got a discount on them. After my Target fun, I got coffee before going home. It was a pretty great day off.

Target , lots of Kinder joy eggs and of course coffee

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Happy Monday! I have the day off today, and it feels so good to just sit at the computer and write. Anyways, it is time for another blog post about what I did over the weekend. I don’t think I need any more introduction than that, so let’s get to it!

Friday – I had this day off, and I spent most of the day at home. However, that evening, I went out to dinner with family. After dinner I went to one of my favorite places and that place is a target. At Target, I looked at the Barbie section, but I didn’t get anything from there. I did, however, get a lot of items from the seasonal section. Target had a lot of fun Easter items. I was excited to see all the PEZ dispensers that they had. I wanted to get the lamb one, and I was very happy that they had it in stock. I also got a bunny PEZ dispenser, two Crayola Scribble Scrubbies , an Easter bath bomb with a prize inside, Kinder Joy eggs, and a bag of Easter toys. I’m really glad that went shopping in the Easter section there were so many fun things to choose from. 

Saturday – I had work in this day, but I was working the closing shift, so I had some time before work. I decided  to do an art project before work, but instead of doing an art kit from my room, I went online, and I printed out some bookmarks to color. If you want to color your own book marks, click HERE. I had fun coloring my own fruit themed bookmarks. Before work, I went to Starbucks. I got a larger coffee than I have been getting because the gloomy weather had been making me feel tired. Work was busy, but when I got off, I was happy that my mom needed to go to Safeway. At Safeway, my favorite things I got were Kiner Joy eggs and my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. When I got home, I made pasta for dinner, and that was my day.

Sunday – Yesterday, I had the day off, and I started my Sunday in the best way possible, I went to church. I’ve been feeling stressed lately, so it was really good for me to take a break and remember the most important things in life. After church, we had some errands to run. My favorite errand we went on was going to McDonald’s to get coffee. However, I was also excited about the banana candy that I got at Trader Joe’s. I have seen pictures of this candy online, and I had been wanting to try it.I did enjoy this candy, but it was very sweet, However if you like chocolate and bananas, I recommend trying it.

Thank you for reading! Have a blessed week!

My Target fun on a Monday

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for a quick post about the little shopping trip I went on Monday. I don’t go to Target as much as I would like to, so I was happy to get the opportunity to go. I didn’t have a very big budget, but I wanted to treat myself to a few things from the dollar section. I was happy to see that there was a good selection of items in this section. I ended up choosing three items from the dollar section. One item that I was really excited about was a turtle shaped bath toy set. It came with one big turtle and two little turtles. For only three dollars, this was a really good deal to me. Another thing that I found in the Dollar section was a cute toy dinosaur that was only a dollar. My final item that I got in the dollar section was a cute Valentine’s Day plush that has a clip so you can attach it to a backpack or purse. I had gotten one of these plush clips last month, but there were different designs to choose from. This time, I got a brown bear that was holding a red heart. I got got a little container of rainbow goldfish crackers. It was a nice and quick trip to Target.

Blogmas day 15 an evening shopping trip to Target

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.
