A Goodwill trip, a surprise party ,Easter items, and more!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This post is gonna be about a bunch of different things that happened starting the day I made my way back home from Death Valley. I have a few things that I want to talk about, but since the month is almost over, I’m just going to put them into one post. With that being said, let’s get to it!

2/23 – This was the day that I came back from Death Valley. On the way back, we stopped at a Goodwill. There were a lot of items from Target there, including craft kits. I got some of those. The bad thing about this stop is that the lines were super long. However, I’m happy with the items that I got, including a new purse and some shirts. When we made it back home, I didn’t have a lot of downtime before it was time to go to a family surprise party. I was really looking forward to going to the party and I had a great time. I’m glad I was able to make it to the party.

2/24 – On this day, I had work, but before that, I went to Safeway. One of the first things that I saw when I went into Safeway was some new Hot Wheels cars. I got two of them. Another item that I was really excited about was a set of Peeps finger puppets. I saw this this item before, but I didn’t get it. I decided to get it this time, and I’m happy that I did. I also got a Peeps egg that has a surprise inside. Before work started, I got a Nerf football Valentine’s Day toy and candy set that was on sale. during my break at work, I got another hot wheel car and a Peeps Pez dispenser.

2/25 – I had work again on this day, but I started the day by going to church and getting coffee. After church, I went on a bunch of errands, including going to Trader Joe’s, where I got free stickers. Getting stickers at Trader Joe’s is one of my new favorite things. At work that day, I got another Valentines’ Day item, a teddy bear that came with a heart-shaped box of chocolate. I also got  two more Easter items, another PEZ dispenser, and a cross shaped lollypop that comes with a bookmark and more. I love all the Easter items that my work has.

2/26 – Another work day and another day that I bought Easter items. I love this cross tin that I got. I also got a Peeps treasure chest.

2/27 – This day at work, I got a hat that was on sale as well as a pair of bunny ears and an Easter necklace. I also got some markers that were on sale and an Easter surpise toy.

2/ 28 – Yesterday was pretty much the same as the days before I  got coffee and went to work. I got a unicorn and two Easter Kinder eggs on my break. It was a beautiful sunny day and I’m missing it already.

New seasonal toys I got from my work

Hello my, my bucket list, friends! It may only be January, but I’m looking forward to warmer days and, of course, summer. There have been some new seasonal items put out at my work lately, including some great toys! I’ve gotten some of them. I love the box of fidget toys that I got! I also got two of these super cute toys that have an animal pop up when you squeeze them. I also got two containers of bubbles. One of them has a duck on the top. The other is shaped like an ice cream cone. I also got some light up toys and a ball. You can see the items in the pictures posted below. Getting items like this makes me even more excited for summer! I have some very fun things planned for summer and I can’t wait. I’m especially excited about going on vacation! What are you looking forward to this year?

The competition of seasonal shopping

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have been having a fun time buying Christmas items lately. As soon as they were displayed at the store where I work, I began buying them. recently, I got a bucket of fake snow that has toys hidden inside , a very cute bird decoration, two plush toys , a squishy toy, and an advent calendar. I also got a bag of frosted animal crackers, another light bulb lollipop ,stickers and gel window decorations. The Christmas themed items that I bought this week have not been the only Christmas themed items that I have been buying. There are two main reasons why I have been buying so many Christmas items. The first reason is that I love Christmastime! I love all the fun items that are available around Christmastime. The second reason is that as soon as we get further into Christmastime, those items will more than likely sell out very quickly. Years ago, I waited too long to buy a gingerbread house, and when I went to buy one, I could not get one. I went to many different stores, and I could not get one. I remember how disappointed I was, so now I try to buy things I want early. When it comes to buying seasonal items, there does seem to be a bit of a competition. Since these items are only around for a certain amount of time. Especially when it gets closer to the holiday. Soon, everyone will want to buy these items, and it turns into a contest of who can buy them first. My strategy for this competition is easy buy want you want early. As soon as you see it, get it! I plan on getting most, if not all, of my Christmas themed items this month. Have you started buying Christmas items yet?

My marvelous Monday staring Walgreens

Hello, my bucket list friends. I’ve been meaning to make this post, and now a week later I’m finally sharing it with you. without any more delay here is a post about my Monday last week. My big highlight on this day was going to Walgreens. I was excited to go there because it was the day after Easter, and I knew that the Easter items would be on sale. There was a fair amount of Easter items still avaalible. There were a lot of these popper toys that came with gumballs that were on sale for less than a dollar. I already had one of them, but due to the price, I got more of them. I also got this super cute bunny plush that came with jelly beans. In addition to those items, I got some Easter chocolates, and outside of the Easter section, I got this very cute sun catcher art kit. Before I went home, I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee it was my second coffee of the day because I had also gotten a hot coffee before work that morning. It was a pretty good Monday. I hope all of you are having a great Monday today!

Thrift shopping, Pez dispensers, and sunshine

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!

Thanks for reading about my weekend !

Hello, sunshine. My weekend in review

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m happy to say that there was finally some sun this weekend! I’m truly a California girl,I want sunshine in every season. I also went shopping at Walgreens, and I went to Candy store that I had never been to before. I’m excited to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Friday – I worked the evening shift on this day. Before work, I went to Starbucks and the camdy store.After work, I went to Safeway to stock up on food. While I was there, I saw that there were some Barbie Valentine’s Day cards on sale, so I got those. I also got two kinder joy eggs. That were themed for Easter. I haven’t opened them yet, but I’m excited to see what toys I got.

Saturday  – I also worked the evening shift on this day. However, before work, I went on a few adventures. The first place I went was Walgreens. I bought a few fun things at Walgreens, including new earbuds, a container of Valentines Day toys, a Pez dispenser, and a surprise plush toy. After Walgreens, we went to Pet Co, then Starbucks. Coffee is always a highlight of my day. After all of that we went to the park for a walk. It was a really nice day. I also went down the slide at the playground . Then it was time to go to work. Work went well. I love being around all the beautiful plants. That night, I made pasta for dinner. I was a good Saturday.

Sunday – I had the day off today. I started the day off by going to get coffee and a doughnut before going to church. It had been I few weeks since I went to church, so it felt good to be back in church. After church we went to get more coffee before going to meet my sister for lunch. For lunch, we went to this pizza place that I had never been to before. I had pasta and veggies . I really enjoyed it. I also got a toy from a vending machine at the restaurant. After lunch, we walked around, and we found a cute spot to take a family picture. As we were walking around town, I saw a candy store, and I had to check it out. I got candy and two rings. I also got a really good picture of me on this huge chair that they had in the candy store. It was a good way to end the weekend.

Blogmas day 16 more Walgreens fun!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday after work, I went to Walgreens! Whenever I go to Walgreens, these days I can’t help but stop by the Christmas section. After all, the Christmas section is in the front of the store. This time, I picked up a plastic candy cane full of Reese’s  peanut butter cups and another lollipop that comes with a plush toy. This time, I chose the bear plush. I’m really gonna miss seeing Christmas items at stores when Christmas day has passed. I hope you all are enjoying the Christmas items in your local stores!

Blogmas day 12, an after church event, a new hair bow, and Trader Joe’s

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I attended a fun event at my church after Sunday service. The event was called Christmas around the world. There was food and activities inspired by different countries. I was helping out with the poinsettia pinwheel craft. I made one, and I also decorated an ornament with stickers! In the afternoon, I went into town to do a few things. There were some highlights from my errands in town. At Walgreens, I got this super cute Christmas themed hair bow along is a bunch of skittles in a plastic candy cane. I also got to go to Trader Joe’s. It had been a while since I had been there. I had seen pictures of some of their seasonal treats, and I really wanted to see what seasonal items were at my local store. I ended up getting two seasonal treats from Trader Joe’s. One was a candy cane, and the other was a container of candy cane chocolate covered almonds. The almonds were so good that I would definitely get them again. I haven’t had the candy cane yet, but I have a feeling it will be good. After all that, I got Starbucks! It was a pretty good day.

Blogmas day 8 a peppermint mocha and a fun Walgreens find!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another blogmas post! Yesterday, I had the day off. I stayed home most of the day, but that evening, I went out to Starbucks, Petco, and Walgreens. I decided to get a peppermint mocha at Starbucks since I had not gotten many of them this year. I really enjoyed my peppermint mocha. After Starbucks, we went to Petco. At Petco, I go to have kittens for adoption. I love going to see the kittens. I got some cute pictures of me with one of the kittens. We had one more stop before going home. We had to get toothpaste at Walgreens. Of course, I had to look at the Christmas items! I was excited that they had these plush toys that came with lollipops. I got the snowman plush. This was really an inexpensive item, and it was a nice surprise to see it at Walgreens.

I hope all are having a great month!
