5 Music Festivals I’d Like to See

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when one of the biggest music festivals, Coachella, returns. Although there are many music festivals happening all year round, April is the time of the year when I pay attention to them. Originally, it wasn’t for Coachella, but for a more local music festival that happens every April. (I’m not going to say the name of it for privacy reasons. If I say it’s name, you’ll know the area where I currently live!)

Since this is the time of the year when I think of music festivals the most, I wanted to write a list of my top five festivals I want to see. These are not the only music festivals I want or am willing to go to, but right now these are the top festivals I would like to attend right now. Also, I’m not going to include the music festival that is held in my area on this list.

Roller Rabbit x Target Collection Favorites- Home and Outdoors

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Out of all the categories the Roller Rabbit x Target collection has, one of my favorites is the home and outdoors category. It is also the category I will probably be purchasing something in the collection from.

The home and outdoors collection covers a wide range of products. They range from colored pencils to outdoor furniture to electronics to tableware. Everything has the Roller Rabbit designs used throughout the Target collection.

While picking things to feature in this post, I realized everything I picked ranged widely in price. The lowest priced items are a deck of cards and sticker pack for $5 each while the highest is a wicker patio table for $250. If you are interested in purchasing something small, practical, and useful from the collection, I would recommend browsing the home and outdoor category.

 

Please Note: All the items mentioned in this post are picked by my own personal taste and is based off what I saw online before anything is available to be seen and touched in person. All the photographs of the products are from Target’s free to download media pack on Target’s website. All the names of the items and it’s cost is taken from the listings from Target’s website.

Roller Rabbit x Target Collection Favorites- Travel Accessories

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

As the release date of the Roller Rabbit x Target collection approaches, I am interested in what will sell the fastest. I have mentioned this in previous posts, but it is a very large and diverse collection. Even though I have my favorite items in the collection, the one I’m the most curious about is the travel accessories.

There is a pretty good amount of travel accessories in the collection. They include luggage tags, neck pillows, packing cubes, duffle bags, and luggage, all in the Roller Rabbit collection’s designs and color scheme. Based off their photographs, they travel accessories look really pretty! To be honest, this is one of the categories of the collection I am the most interested in! I am also really curious to see how well the travel accessories sell.

As per usual, I picked out my favorite items from the travel accessories category to feature in this post. Their prices range from $10 to $100.

Christmas Events in My Town and Missing Out on the Festive Fun for 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Christmas is less than a week away. I am both happy and sad to see this season to come to an end. I am happy to see this busy season end, but I am also sad because I enjoy Christmas decorations and all the festive activities that go along with it.

This year, I had plans to go to one of the major Christmas events in my town. Even though I had plans, nothing panned out and I ended up staying home. After this miss opportunity, I began to wonder if there are other Christmas events in my area. I began to search for events in my town, but there wasn’t anything as major as the missed event.

Thoughts on Cracker Barrel’s Rebranding and Remodeling: What I Do and Don’t Like About It

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For several weeks I’ve been going back and forth about certain post topics. For the most part, they don’t really matter in the big scheme of things. They also may be a little bit too (Or extremely) controversial for my blog. I prefer to keep my blog as political free as possible. Among the many reasons for this is because I use my blogs as a personal way of escapism from politics. If I’m tired of hearing about something online with political ties, I’m not going to talk about it here.

One of the post ideas I had was about Cracker Barrel’s rebranding. As many have probably heard by now, it had a major rebrand with specific stores remodeled to have more modernized interior, a different color scheme, and, most recently and controversially, a new logo. I debated if I should share my thoughts about it in a post due to the popularity and controversy relating to it. Especially since I haven’t set foot in a Cracker Barrel store in quite a while.

Now that Cracker Barrel has announced it will return to it’s old logo, I decided to risk writing a post about the rebranding and what I think about it.

My Favorite Events for Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Today is the start of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary! I am really happy to see Disney is doing special things for the platinum anniversary of Disneyland. (Also known as the Disneyland Resort)

Although I have no plans for a vacation to Disneyland this year, I still try to keep up to date with what is going on in the park. This way whenever I do go on vacation to Disneyland, I will know what has changed and what hasn’t. For the 70th Anniversary, there are events planned from May 16, 2025 through 2026. This allows for a longer window of time to visit the park and enjoy the special anniversary events.

After doing some research about the anniversary events, there are a few anniversary events that caught my eye. Since they start today, I wanted to talk about my favorite events in a post. I got the information about the events from Disneyland’s official webpage for the 70th anniversary and from Disney Parks Blog’s Complete Guide to the 70th Anniversary.

5 Favorite Popular Christmas Events in Arizona

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Arizona is well known as very tourist friendly state during the winter months. The warmer temperatures in the winter months are a major attraction to people looking to escape the cold winter temperatures. It is also the best time of the year to live in Arizona due to the weather.

Because of the winter temperatures, Arizona has many Christmas and holiday themed events to entertain visitors and locals alike. Since this is such a nice time of the year to get out of the house and do things, I decided to pick my top five favorite Christmas themed events that happen annually in Arizona and feature them in a post. Some of them are well known events while others are things I like to do myself.

5 Reasons I Love (and 5 Reasons Why I Hate) This Month in Arizona- December

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s December and it’s time for Blogmas! This year, I decided for the first post of Blogmas to finish the post series I started in January. That means, for the last time, to publish my five reasons I love and five reasons I hate this month in Arizona.

Since it is December, and I love Christmas, there shouldn’t be any reason for me to hate living in Arizona. The weather is nice and it is the happiest time of the year. Sadly, no where is perfect and Arizona is no exception. Finding the reasons to hate this month were just as easy as finding reasons to love this month. So, I hope you enjoy the five reasons why I love and hate this month in Arizona.

Here are all the previous months posts…

5 Reasons I Love (and 5 Reasons Why I Hate) This Month in Arizona- November

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

November in Arizona is a special month. It considered by many to be the start of Arizona’s tourism season. (Some say tourism season is October to April while others say November to April) People travel to the state to see the state in it’s beauty without the oppressive heat.

During this time, there are so many things to do and see that it may be hard to imagine anything is bad about the state. As a lifelong resident of Arizona, I can honestly say that there are some Novembers that are good while others are not. Yet, while enjoying the state during it’s best weather months can make it look convincingly perfect when it really is not.

Inspired by my sometimes love/hate relationship with the state I’ve called home my whole life, I decided to write a list of five reasons why I like Arizona during November and five reasons why I don’t.

In addition to this post, I have wrote posts about why I love and hate Arizona during all the months of the year. You can read them here…
