If you’re on the hunt for something that hits both cute and collectible for a kid who loves their Monster High dolls, the latest PLAYMOBIL × Monster High figures deliver exactly that. The styling on these mini figures leans adorable and packed with character. They’re honestly the the perfect counterpart to their full-sized doll versions. The Fear Squad Multipack offers three figures together, each in coordinating theme wear that matches the Monster High vibe but scaled down and simplified just right for smaller hands. With Clawdeen, Cleo, and Frankie in their sporty cheerleader outfits, kids will have a ton of…

The evening lights flicker on, and the sound of rubber soles echoes across the asphalt. Every city has a court like this — where office workers, college kids, and weekend warriors meet for a game. But if you look down, there’s another kind of match happening: one of prices, brands, and silent judgments. On the same half-court, you might see sneakers worth fifteen hundred dollars, others no more than a hundred, and a few pairs of reps shoes that look identical to the most expensive ones. The Status Game in Sneakers In the world of basketball, sneakers have always been more than…

PJ’s Soaps and Bombs recently sent me their Sugared Raspberries soap to review. I was impressed by how it turns a simple shower into something a lot more luxurious. First off, the scent is immediately captivating. To me it smelled like raspberry jam blended with warm caramel and just a hint of cotton candy. The fragrance stays so even after you step out of the shower, you still smell it in the air.  The texture of the soap is also an amazing feeling. Using the bar of soap it glides on super silky. And, for those who like to use…

FluidStance’s Level Balance Board for Standing Desks is an one addition to your standing desk set up you didn’t know you needed. Having a standing desk is already great for posture, but including this truly changes the way you focus on your work and how your body holds itself. From the moment I placed the board in front of my standing desk and stepped on it my focus was immediately better. For someone with ADHD this type of movement is gladly appreciated since tapping feet is not likely at a standing desk. For me anyway, that’s more of a sitting…

Schylling NeeDoh Advent Calendar 24 Days of Surprise Toys is perfect for any Christmas tradition. Usually I run to Walmart or shop online to find a cute and festive advent calendar. This year NeeDoh sent us this one to review and the kids were very happy to open it months early. And to be honest? I kind of want to buy another one for leading up to Christmas. The surprises are bright, tactile, and endlessly squeeze-able. Each little piece has its own shape and texture. They’re cute, fun and my kids have spent more time playing with them than I…

Aphmau StickiRolls are fast becoming one of the most fun collector items for kids. They blend fun customization and fandom appeal. Here’s how they wow and what makes them special. The core idea is simple but clever. These are sticker bracelets! Instead of fixed beads or charms, each “bead” is actually a roll of holographic stickers kids can peel off, wear, swap, or share. That twist turns a basic bracelet into a dynamic, interactive piece. The Aphmau designs bring in visuals and characters fans already love, making them doubly appealing. The Aphmau MeeMeows are taking center stage here in each…

I didn’t expect a plushie line to become part of my emotional toolkit, but Plushie Dreadfuls’ Halloween collection is making that happen. These cuddly, spooky hybrids are “scary cute,” and feel like they were built for late nights, low moods, and the need for something both whimsical and grounding. And they’ve become a great cuddle buddy for late night horror films. You know, when you need the extra support during those extra scary parts. Tricksee Belle (a pumpkin-headed bunny you can remove the pumpkin from) is especially adorable. My oldest chose her as her special support bunny. She liked that…

For fans of KPOP Demon Hunters we’re looking for anything to quell the thirst of merch. From customizing the Tiny Tams that were at McDonald’s to pre-ordering the official Funko Pops that won’t even release to next year, we’ve been on the hunt for more. Now if you search KPOP Demon Hunters on AliExpress, or heck even Google, you’ll get some interesting results. One of which are these dolls. These dolls themselves aren’t extremely impressive. They represent each girl, Rumi, Zoey and Mira but they look basic. I would hate to think that this would be a final version of…

Walk into any pub from Donegal to Cork, and you’ll hear them—those musical phrases that stop conversations mid-pint. They’re seanfhocail, Ireland’s ancient proverbs that have survived centuries because they contain truths too valuable to lose. For travellers seeking authentic cultural experiences beyond the tourist trails, understanding these “old words” opens doors to conversations, connections, and insights that guidebooks simply can’t provide. During my recent exploration of County Clare’s rural villages, I witnessed the power of seanfhocail firsthand. An elderly farmer, watching storm clouds gather over the Burren, turned to me and said, “Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na scolb”—a…

I didn’t expect handmade soap could become one of my new obsessions, but PJ’s Soaps & Bombs changed that. After messing with a few bars, Autumn Spice Handcrafted Soap and Fall Harvest Soap hit all the right notes of comfort, scent, texture; and now I can’t go back. Here’s how they pulled me in. Note: Each of these soaps were used in the shower as well as just for hand washing. I recommend shower use if you want to come out smelling delicious. Autumn Spice (Aloe Vera, Olive Oil & Goat Milk) immediately feels like walking into a cozy fall…
