Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last Friday was a really great day. I finally got to spend some time with my amazing friend. It had been over a month since I last saw her. We both ended up having the same day off, and that is a very rare thing for us. The first thing we did was go to Starbucks. After that, we went to my favorite local thrift store. I had been there the week before, and I saw that they had the American Girl doll Courtney. She is one of my favorites but I decided not to spend the 50.00 to get her. However, when I saw that she was still available, I felt like I had to get her, so I did. I was so happy to have her as a part of my collection! I also got some other things at the thrift store, including a container full of plastic toys, two Barbie fast food toys , a big book about animals ,and a bag of doll clothes. After thrift shopping, we went to lunch, went on a walk, and then we ended the day with frozen yogurt. It was a really great day!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Overall, so far, September has been a busy month as far as work goes, and that’s a good thing! However, I have not had a whole lot of fun adventures this month. but there have been a few highlights that I wanted to share with you. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!
September 15th – I had this day off. With my free time, I decided to see what Barbie color reveal doll I had gotten. I had bought her at Target, but I had not gotten around to seeing what doll I got in the totally denim series. All the dolls looked cool. The doll that I got was mainly pink with a fun butterfly pattern. I want to get more dolls in this series. My big highlight of the day was going to Savers. At Savers, I got a Barbie doll who had a cute necklace on but also needed some TLC. Her face was very dirty but I was able to clean her when I got home. I’m happy that I rescued her. The other items that I got at Savers on this day are an unopened bead kit, some books including American Girl books, two TY Beanie Babies , a bag of hair bows , a paint your own tea set art kit, and a Build a Bear plush. After Savers, I quickly went to the Safeway next to Savers to get something I needed, but I also got two Hot Wheels cars. They have them at a really good price at Safeway. That night, I started painting my tea set. The paint was no longer in the set, but I had paint that I could use. I had fun painting dots on the plates. It was an overall good day!
September 16th – On this day I had work in the afternoon. I started off the day by going to brunch at a neighbor’s house. It was fun getting to see and talk to some of my neighbors. My next big highlights of the day were going to Starbucks and the park. During my break at work I went shopping. I got another bead kit and an art kit. The art kits come with two lamas that you paint. I was very excited about the things that I bought on my break. It was another pretty good day!
September 17th – I also worked in the afternoon on this day . I went and got coffee and went to church before work. After church, I went to Starbucks, and I got a pink drink. At work during my break, I bought two new Kiner joy eggs that have animal toys in them. It was another good day.
September 18th – On this day, I went to work, and during my break, I bought a Hot Wheels monster truck that was Barbie themed. After work, I went to Safeway, where I got two juice drinks that come with toys. I really like the monster truck I got!
Thank you for reading about some of my latest highlights!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! August was an overall busy month, and there are a few things that I want to share with you that have not made it into other posts. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!
I got a new job ! I think I mentioned on this blog that the house plant store that I was working at closed. I was determined to find another job quickly, and I’m happy to say that I got hired at Walgreens, and I absolutely love it! I’m so blessed and thankful for this new job. I also love that I get to go shopping at the store on my breaks.
August 19th – On this day, I went shopping at Savers. Some of my favorite things that I got on this thrift shopping adventure were some craft kits, books including a sticker book, and two Barbie dolls.
August 18th – On this day, I went to Taco Bell! I had been meaning to go during the summer, and I finally got the chance.
August 16th – On this day, I got to go to the mall and get a much needed massage.I also went to the Old Navy and Target at the mall. One of my favorite things that I got is a wooden ice pop art kit from Target. It was a great day of shopping and relaxation.
Thank you for reading about some of my August adventures! – Christina Epperly
Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for me to write another blog post about my weekend adventures! This weekend was pretty normal, but I did get to go to Savers. as much as I love going to my local thrift shop. I really love going to Savers because of the large selection they have. That was the main highlight of my weekend, but I did do some other things that I’m also excited to tell you about. Let’s get to it!
Friday – On this day, I worked the morning shift. Before going to work, I went to the nearby candy store to get the same thing that I had gotten the week before. A package that contains both chocolate and toys. It took me a little bit to decide which one I wanted to get since you can see one toy and the other two are concealed in chocolate. I decided to get the one that had a spotted lizard toy visible. I also got some vegan gummy bears while I was at the candy store. I also made my normal stop to the coffee shop before going to work. At work, I took some pictures of the gummy bears with some plants as the background. I really liked how the pictures turned out. After work, I got a smoothie. Later that day, I went on a walk, I loved the selfies that I took during our walk. After walking, I spent some time with my neighbors. It was a pretty great day.
Saturday – This day, I worked the closing shift. In the morning we went on another walk it was a good way to start the day. After our walk, my mom and I went to get coffee before taking my mom’s car to get worked on. We took my mom’s car to the dealership because it needed some maintenance. While the car was being worked on, we took an Uber to Savers. Savers was fairly close to where the car was, so it was a good place to go while we waited for the car to be ready. I was happy to see that the store was pretty well stocked. I got two Barbie dolls, a bag of toys that had some 101 Dalmatians toys and some other toy dogs in it, and a plush dog in the toy section. In the book section, I got some Full House books and some Mary-Kate and Ashley books. I also got a Lisa Frank coloring book. In addition to those items, I got some clothes and a My Little Pony Christmas ornament. After picking up the car, we went to Whole Foods, where I got a sandwich and other items, including my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. After that I went to work and after work we went to a park to go on another walk. It was a good way to end a busy day out.
Sunday – On this day, I worked the morning shift, so I was not able to go to church. However, I did start my day with coffee and another walk. Then I went to work and after that we went on some errands. At Walgreens, I got two chocolate eggs that came with Hot Wheels cars, and at Safeway, I got another piece of chocolate that came with a toy. It was the same brand that I got on Friday. After our errands, we went on another walk, but we got to see my favorite ponies. It was a great way to end the weekend.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m here to tell you about my weekend! This weekend wasn’t super exciting, but I did go to the Dollar Tree for the first time in a while. I also went to my favorite local thrift store again, and I got some fun items, including a Ty beanie buddy plush! Now that I have properly introduced this blog post, let’s get to it!
Friday – On this day, I left early for work. I was working the opening shift, and I have had some difficulty getting rides with Uber lately, so I called for an Uber much earlier than usual. This was a good thing, though, because not only did I get a ride without stress, IÂ had time to get coffee and go to the thrift store before work. At the thrift store, they were having a sale on plush toys. I was very happy when I saw a Ty beanie buddy on the shelf. I didn’t see any other plush toys that I wanted to add to my collection, but I did find more items that I wanted to take home with me. I got some books including an activity book. I also got some fun stickers and a bookmark. After shopping I went to work and it went well. I was also able to go to the candy store. It was a good start to my weekend.
Saturday – I had the day off. My biggest highlight of the day was getting go shopping at the Dollar Tree. I had not been to the Dollar Tree for a while, and I was happy to go and see what fun items I could find. I was happy to see that there were summer items available. I got a package of two summer themed cups in the seasonal section. I didn’t find anything that was super exciting, but I did get some fun items, including a new hair bow, stickers, and a Crayola brand toothbrush set. While I was out, I also got a squishy toy at the hardware store, an iced coffee at McDonald’s, and Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway. I miss the Easter Kinder Joy eggs, but the NBA ones are pretty cool. It was a pretty good day!
Sunday – On this day, I worked the closing shift at work. However, I started my day off the best way you can start a Sunday, in my opinion. With coffee and church! After church, my parents and I went into town, and we had lunch at Baja Fresh. I got the veggie bowl that I normally get there. It is really good. I recommend it. It was also the last day to buy girl scout cookies, so we bought some. Thin mints are my favorites! When I got dropped off for work, I still had some time before my shift started, so I got an iced coffee at the coffee shop by my work. My shift went well, and after work, I went on a walk at the park. It was a good way to end my weekend
Hello, my bucket list friends it is the time for another weekend blog post! I know my posts have not been very exciting lately, but summer is on the way, and like I said in my last weekend post. I have big plans for the summer, including bucket list items! However, I did enjoy some of my favorite things this weekend, such as shopping and coffee. I think that is enough introduction for this post, so let’s get to it!
Friday – I had this day off. However, I was in need of some food items, so I did another Walmart order through Instacart. I mainly ordered the food items that I needed, but I did add some fun items to my order. Those fun items were a bag of colorful craft sticks, two Kinder Joy eggs, one blind bag Barbie pets toy, and a bag of puzzle piece shaped magnets that you can decorate. After I received my delivery, I got creative with the craft sticks that I ordered. My original plan was to make shapes out of the craft sticks by gluing them together with hot glue. However, I was unable to find a hot glue gun. With some inspiration from Pintrest, I decided to glue the craft sticks on paper with a glue stick and then draw on them. I really enjoyed doing this. I had a fun time coming up with designs that I wanted to draw.
Saturday – I worked the closing shift on this day, but I went into town early because I had some things that I wanted to do before work. I also wanted to avoid traffic. When I got to town, I went to my favorite local thrift store that I have been going to a lot lately. I did not know if I would find much since it had not been a very long time since I had last been there. The first item that I put in my shopping basket was a Squishmallow toy. I’m still not planning on collecting them, but I will probably get them every now and then when I see one for a good price. My other big find find were some Crayola crayons that I’m pretty sure are both from the 80s. One package had a year on it. I also got two books, two bookmarks, some stickers including beach themed stickers, and a hat. After I bought my items, the thrift store staff gave me a drawstring bag for the things that I bought. After the thrift store, I went to the candy store. I got two items, including a fan that has candy inside it also has a dog from Paw Patrol on top of it. The other item I got was a lollypop that has different flavors on it, and it spins around like a windmill. I walked around for a little bit before going to the coffee shop that I usually go to. After spending some time at the coffee shop, I went to work. I enjoyed my day at work, and when I got picked up, I went to the park with my mom and the neighbor’s dog. I had a good time at the park. After stopping at home for a little bit, I went back out to do some shopping. The big highlight of my nighttime shopping trip was getting Kinder Joy eggs and my favorite fruit snacks at Safeway. It was a busy day, but it was also a great day.
Sunday – I had the day off, and I took it easy for most of the day, but I did get to go on a walk and see my favorite ponies. It was a beautiful day, and since we have gotten a lot of rain this year, we have beautiful flowers and green grass all around us most of the time during our walk. After our walk, we did go into town. I was excited to go to Starbucks since it had been a little while since I had last gone there. I was very happy to get an iced coffee after my walk. I also needed to get cough drops, so I went to Walgreens. At Walgreens, I looked at the Easter section. I did not think I would find anything thing else that I would want since I had already gone there on Monday. However, since everything was deeply discounted, I wanted to see if there was anything else that would interest me. I ended up getting two Easter ring pops and a plush animal in a plastic egg. I was very happy to find those items because I did not see them on Monday. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a good way to end the weekend.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last week had some really great moments. I decided to make a blog post highlighting those moments. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it!
Monday – This day was a really amazing one. My friend and I both were off on this day, and this is a rare occurrence. I was very excited for us to spend they day together. We did some of our favorite things. We went to Starbucks and went on a walk. went shopping at Five Below, and we ended the day by going to Yogurtland. My friend had never been to Five Below before, and I was excited to show it to her. I got many fun items, including Barbie sunglasses, a Barbie puzzle, a My Little Pony toy, a Barbie tea set, a painting art kit, and new earbuds, I also got a Squishmallow. I’m not going to start collecting them because I collect so many things already, but I was excited about the price, plus they are very cute. It was also a lot of fun going to Yogurtland. I love being creative and making my own frozen yogurt creation. However, the best thing about the day was getting to spend time with my friend.
Tuesday – On this day, I worked the morning shift. Before work, I got coffee at the place I normally do. Work went well, and after work, I got some Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway. It was a simple but good day.
Wednesday – On this day, I also worked the morning shift. I started the day with coffee just like the day before. I also had a good day at work just like I had the day before. However, this day was different because I went to my favorite local thrift store after work. It had not been long since I was there last so there were not a lot of new items but I did get some good items. including an American Girl book and a sheet of Easter stickers. I enjoyed going thrift shopping, of course, but my favorite part of the day was going out to eat with family members that I had not seen in a while. I got to eat pizza and have good conversations. it was a really great day.
Thursday – I was off on this day, and I got to see my friend again. It was a last-minute thing, but I was so excited to see her again. We went to Walgreens and Starbucks. At Walgreens, I got a new Pez dispenser. We only hung out for a little while because I wanted to get back home, but it was truly amazing to see my friend twice in one week.
Thanks for reading about my week! I hope you are all enjoying the month of April!
Hello, my bucket list friends! I know this post is on the later side since it is already Thursday. However this week has been kind of busy so now is finally the time to talk about my weekend. Let’s get to it!
Friday – On this day, I had the day off. I stayed home most of the day, but I went to Whole Foods that evening. I got some yummy foods like soup and my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. I also got this super cute bath scrubby that is shaped like a crab. Some other things that I got were lip balm and cinnamon mints. After Whole Foods, I went to Panera bread to get coffee since I had not had any that day. I love the hazelnut coffee at Panera Bread. It was a pretty good day.
Saturday – This was the first day of April. I worked the closing shift this day, but I had to get dropped off early, so I had a lot of time before my shift began. I was actually excited to be able to be in town because I wanted to go to my favorite local thrift store. I ended up getting more items than I thought I would get. The first thing I got was an American Girl fashion studio kit. After that, I found many more items, including a Build a Bear plush, American Girl books, three Barbie dolls, a pair of sunglasses, and a button from Super Bowl 1985. I was excited to find the button because I think it is fun to find items that were made before I was born. I also got a Barbie mirror and some stickers. After my thrift shopping fun, I still had a lot of time before my shift. I walked around for a while, then I went to the candy store, and I got a Pez dispenser. My last stop before work was the local coffee shop that I often go to before work. After I stayed there for a while, I went to work and the day went well. When my mom picked me up from work, we went for a walk in the park. It was a great way to end the day.
Sunday – I had the day off today, and I was excited to go to church. I was able to get some coffee before going to church. The church service was good. I really enjoy going. After church, I went to Starbucks. Yes, I got more coffee. Then we went for another walk at the same park that we went to the day before. It was a simple but good day.
Thank you for reading about my weekend I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Â
Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is another one of those weekends in review posts. The best thing about this weekend was the sunshine! There has been a lot of much needed rain in my area this month, but it was nice to see the sun out. This weekend was pretty normal, but it was also pretty good, so let’s get to it!
Friday – On this day, I opened the store where I work. Before my shift, I went and got coffee at the local coffee shop that I usually go to before work. Work went well, and after work, I decided to go to my favorite local thrift store. This store has limited hours, so I was happy that I had a little bit of time to go there after work. At the thrift store, I got some American Girl books, some stickers, and a Disney World postcard. However, my very favorite thing that I got is a Barbie puzzle from the 1990s. The puzzle has all of the pieces, but it no longer has the stickers that it originally came with. I’m so happy I went to the thrift store after work. When I was done at the thrift store, I met my mom nearby, and we went to Starbucks and the park. It was a very beautiful day and I really enjoyed being at the park. This day was a great way to start the weekend.
Saturday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. Before work, I went on a walk to go see my favorite ponies. I had not seen them in a while, so it was good to see them again. We brought them carrots, and they were very happy about that. After our walk, I went on a few errands, including going to Walgreens to get new Pez dispensers. I also got Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway and bananas with Disney stickers on them at Trader Joe’s. Even after running errands, I still had time to go to my regular local coffee shop before work. It was very beautiful outside, so I walked around a little outside before work began. My shift went well, and it was a good day overall.
Sunday – It was another beautiful day, and I really enjoyed the sunshine! I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee. I also worked the closing shift it was a normal but good day!
Hello, my bucket list, friends ! Yesterday was a lot of fun so I decided to write a post about it. The first fun part of my Sunday was going to church. One of my goals for this year is to attend church regularly. I have not been going every Sunday, but I have been going more often than I used to. After church, we had to go get some firewood. It didn’t take very long to load up the truck. After that, we made a quick stop at Starbucks before going to Savers. I had some things to donate to savers, so I got a 20% off coupon for making a donation. Savers seemed to be really picked over. They did not have any Barbie dolls. However, I did get some fun items, including two TY Beanie Babies, a Barbie book, some American girl books, and an American Girl bracelet kit. Since I didn’t get any dolls at Savers, I wanted to go to Walmart to get one of the new Barbie color reveal dolls. At Walmart, I only saw one of the new color reveal dolls, but one was all I wanted. I also got four Barbie blind bag pets, an art kit, and an Easter necklace. It was a fun day, plus we only got a little bit of rain it was nice to have a little break from it. However, I’m glad that we are getting some much needed rain.
Thanks for reading I hope you are having a great start to your week.
