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- 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.

 

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.

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.

6 More Things to Do in Arizona in the Fall

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I published a post about eight things to do in Arizona during the fall. You can read that post here. This year, I decided to write another post about more things to do in Arizona. Fall is the season Arizona wakes up after a summer hibernation due to the heat, so there are a lot of things to do during the season!

For this post, I decided to focus on events and activities that would happen during the month I didn’t mention in my previous post.

Missing Disneyland and Watching Disneyland Livesteams to Ease My Wanderlust

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s mid July and I’m officially calling it the summer when all I do is work and stay at home. Again. I had a feeling this summer wouldn’t be like other summers, and it hasn’t. Yet, when it comes to taking time off work and leaving my house for a vacation, that hasn’t changed.

Since the 4th of July, I decided to try to watch more enjoyable entertainment. There really isn’t much I want to watch on TV anymore, so I’m usually going though my stash of DVDs and watching things on YouTube while I work. I was thinking about watching some streaming shows instead, but I sometimes get too distracted to sit in front of the TV or computer to watch an episode all the way through. I feel more comfortable pausing and stopping DVDs and YouTube videos instead. One of the YouTube videos I began to watch are livestreams from Disneyland.

I really don’t like watching livestreams because anything can happen on them… and some of it isn’t good! I watched livestreams from Disneyland a few years ago because I missed the parks and wanted to see how everything has changed. Even though I was afraid to watch livestreams, I found one person I really liked and began watching his videos until I felt contented with Disneyland content.

On the 4th of July, I decided to watch the fireworks on the livestreams. I couldn’t go outside and watch fireworks from my house this year, so I thought this would be a great way to celebrate the 4th of July without needing to go outside. This ended up working out really well.

It’s been almost two weeks since I began to watch livestreams from Disneyland again and I’m really enjoying it! I miss Disneyland a lot and wish I could travel there this year. Although I’m not sure which livestreamer is my favorite, I have found two that run clean livestreams. (No cursing. No lewd comments. Ect.)

Even though I miss visiting Disneyland (And California Adventure) and exploring the parks myself, and wish I could go on a vacation, seeing the parks live from wherever I am has made me feel better. It has also given me ideas for where to go and what rides to ride!

 

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

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

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s over a week since the start of April and I have yet to publish a post about why I love and hate this month in Arizona. To be honest, April is one of the months I struggle finding both good things and bad things to talk about. It’s not because I don’t have reasons I love and hate Arizona during April. It is because I struggle thinking of reasons that are not area specific! Even though I struggled to think of reasons to list, I decided to write the reasons I don’t like the month even if they are more common and familiar to the area where I live instead ones applicable to of the whole state.

Here are the previous month posts…

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

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s March and it’s time for spring to begin! Even though spring begins in the latter half of March (AKA spring solstice), there are so many things to be happy and excited for. Here in Arizona, I love the month of March. It is the time when the weather is still really nice. Flowers are also in bloom and the excitement for Easter is building. Even though I love this month, I also despise, even hate, parts of this month.

Continuing a series of posts I started in January, I compiled a list of five reasons why I love the month of March in Arizona and five reasons why I hate it. You can read the other posts in the series here:

My Dream Travel Bucket List for Fall 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This fall, I have no plans to travel. Even though I won’t be traveling, I still wanted to create a bucket list of places I would like to travel to this fall. I have a long list of places I would like to visit in the United States during the fall. Every year, my list changes depending on how I feel and what I think I would like to do that year. For this post, I decided to focus on my all time favorite fall bucket list vacation spots.
