Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month is flying by, and I feel like I have not had time to slow down and blog until now. We already had our major holiday this month so I thought I would write about that and I also did some fun stencil art this month that I wanted to highlight along with two trips to my favorite party store. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it.

2/06/2025 – A trip to the party store and stencil art

I had this day off from work, and I did a few of my favorite things. The first fun thing I did on this day was going shopping at my favorite party supplies store. I was going here to get Valentine’s Day items because Valentine’s Day was coming up soon. When I got to the store, I saw some great Valentines Day items. Some of my favorite items that I got were Valentines Day stickers and stencils. I also got some rubber ducks. Later that day, I used the stencils that I got to make a fun Valentines Day picture. That I finished the next day. I love the way my stencil art turned out.

On Valentines Day, I had to work, but I did not let that stop me from celebrating. I had gotten my parents a Valentines Day card. I also got little Valentines Day cards that came with candy, and I gave them to my co workers. On my break, I bought myself some Valentines Day gifts, including a rose that came with a plush bear and mug that came with a bear and chocolates. If you don’t have someone to buy you Valentine’s Day gifts, you can always buy it for yourself!

The day after Valentines Day, I went back to my favorite local party store. I got some bags of surprise toys ,stickers and Barbie glasses ,a big rubber duck, and more! I’ve been going to this same store since I was a child. I have lots of good memories of that store, and I think that is a big reason why I still get excited to go there even though I’m in my 30s. Plus, the store looks pretty much the same as it did when I was younger. Including my favorite section has boxes filled with toys. The pencil display is also the same as it used to be. I hope this store stays there forever!

Thanks for reading about some of my February adventures!

My Valentine’s Day fun 2023

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I know Valentine’s Day can sometimes feel like an exclusive holiday but it is really a holiday that anyone can celebrate. I wrote an article about Valentine’s day on vocal media. ( You can read it HERE) This year I had a great time celebrating Valentine’s day. I had the day off from work and I took it easy. I published a blog post about my weekend. ( You can read it HERE) I also decided to do an art kit. I have a lot of art kits in my room just waiting for me to use them. Yesterday, I decided to do an art kit where you paint a butterfly magnet. I enjoyed doing this simple craft kit. I find painting to be very relaxing and I really like the way that my butterfly magnet looked when I was done. However, the big highlight of my day was going to to dinner with my mom and some friends at my favorite local Mexican restaurant. The food was amazing as always and I really enjoyed spending time with some fun people. It was one of the best Valentine’s days that I have ever had.

Thanks for reading!

TMS day 4 ( Valentine’s day)

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! Valentine’s day 2019 was my fourth day of TMS treatments. Hold on tight as I tell you about day 4 !

TMS day 4 ( Valentine’s day)

Day four ! It was so close to the end of the week ! Plus it was Valentine’s day and my mom was coming to pick me up and were going to get frozen yogurt ! The thoughts of seeing my mom and frozen yogurt kept me excited for that night. The day of treatments were the same as the days before. I was very used to the treatments by day four . Every hour I went and got my TMS treatments and then I went back to my office and hung out . While I was in my office I decided to challenge my OCD again. Things were going pretty well I wasn’t listening to OCD’s orders any more so I went for it . I went on to YouTube and I watched a horror movie trailer then I watched a countdown about horror movies and I didn’t freak out ! Before I began the TMS a trailer for a horror movie popped up on one of my social media feeds I could only make it through a few seconds before closing the ad . Now let me make this clear I don’t like horror movies and I’m not gonna become a big fan of them but with my OCD I can get very easily upset if I see an ad for one . It can raise my anxiety levels and even make me angry . Now I’m able to work on getting myself use to seeing those kinds of ads with out getting upset.  After the TMS sessions were done for the day my mom picked me up. First we went to Whole Foods then we got some Frozen Yogurt at Pink Berry. It was a great way to end another long day of TMS .

5 Amazing things about being single

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello ,my bucket list friends and happy late Valentine’s day ! On Valentine’s day I posted a video on my YouTube channel ( you can Watch it HERE) in the video I listed my top 5 reasons why it is amazing to be single . I wanted to publish a blog post to go along with my video but my laptop decided to die so I was unable to get the post up until now ,so without further delay here is my blog post on why it is amazing to be single !

 

 

5 reasons why it is amazing to be single !

  1. Freedom – When you are single it is easier to make big or sometimes even small life choices . If you get an opportunity to move away and work your dream job or go on a long-term trip in another country it is a lot easier to say yes when you are single . When you are in a relationship you make life choices together . Being single allows you to make choices independently.
  2. Self discovery –  When you are single you have more time and energy to focus on growing as a person . When you are with someone so much time is put into working on your relationship that sometimes people don’t have the opportunity to explore who they are . This can cause people to grow apart and can even end relationships. Being single gives you the time to really discover who you are and decide what you want out of life.
  3. Way less Drama – When you’re single there tends to be less stress to deal with . Some people who are in relationships are always arguing about something . Getting in to disagreements is apart of life but it seems to happen more to people who are in relationships . I like living a low stress life and being single makes that easier to accomplish.
  4. Less obligations – In a relationship there are a lot of obligations such as buying gifts for birthdays and valentines day , celebrating your anniversary, remembering when all those dates are , having two families to spend holidays with and pressure to return phone calls and texts as soon as possible . When your single you usually don’t have to decide where to go for holidays and there are less dates to remember and less gifts to buy .

5.  Growing your circle of friends – Being single gives you more time and desire to meet new people and explore your interests . When your single you have more time to grow your circle of friends and you don’t have to worry about your partner disapproving who you chose to hangout with .

 

So, there you have it my top 5 reasons why it is amazing to be single . Wether you are  single or in a relationship I hope you are enjoying it !
