You know summer is here when LEGO minifigs can be found hanging out at the beach. After all, they like some fun in the sun and sand too. Robert Carlson of 5MadMovieMakers and some friends to built this awesome LEGO Sand Roller Coaster, and it is a joy to watch in action.
The video was recorded at the Outer Banks in North Carolina, where you will take a journey through a sand castle, a seashell forest and even some underground tunnels.
It must have taken a long time to set this up, and the end result is awesome.

The beach is for maximum relaxation, not for being bothered with pesky “work” like having to hold up your iPad or Kindle. Well put your well tanned arms down because this Sunshade with Tablet Holder does the work for you. The adjustable canopy not only blocks the sun’s rays (with 50+ UPF protection) but it also has a strap on the underside to hold your device. And with the shade it provides, there’s no glare so even your eyes can relax.
The days of holding a towel over your head so you can post selfies of your legs in front of the ocean or pool to Facebook or Instagram are over with this sunshade (we’re talking about the towel part- obviously you’re still going to post pictures of your legs because what’s the point if you can’t make your friends jealous of your location?).
This canopy comes with a comfy looking canvas headrest if you just want to lay out on a towel (or directly on the sand if you’re one of those types) but it can also clip onto most chairs and beach loungers. So you can not only use it by the beach but also poolside, in your yard, or on your boat. It folds flat for compact storage and it’s easy to bring down to the sand because it includes a carrying backpack (the whole thing weighs in at a sand hauling friendly 7 pounds). It even includes a pair of sand spikes in case it gets windy. So get out there and get busy relaxing.

Summer is almost upon us! Can you believe it’s so close? Many people are finishing up semesters of college and high school, and many are just simply excited for all the great times summer brings. From relaxing at the beach or pool to binge watching Netflix shows, to camping and hiking, summer is a chance to soak in the sun and have tons of fun. Of course, with summer, comes ice pops! You’ll likely need a nice cool-down at some point this summer, and now it is your chance to have the coolest snacks at the pool with all these amazing ice pop molds!
Happy reading and happy almost summer!
Ground control to Major Tom. These ice pop molds have a space theme which makes them pretty stellar. I love that there are a variety of shapes in this pack, so everyone will find their favorite.
Rockets! That’s rockin’ am I right? Besides the awesome shape, I just love the color of these molds. That bright orange really pops, perfect for an ice pop, and they probably won’t get lost in your kitchen.
We’ve seen a couple of space themes, now how about a robot theme? I can imagine these molds would be a huge hit at a child’s birthday party. (Or an adult’s, who am I to judge?)
My favorite on this list, not only because I’m a big Star Wars fan, but because of the lightsaber handles. When you actually make the ice pop, you end up with an edible lightsaber! If that’s not the coolest thing ever, I don’t know what is. Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan, you’ve got to admit these ice pop molds are the best in the galaxy.
Wow, so many creative ice pop molds. Why didn’t my mom have any of these when I was a kid? Anyway, these molds are shaped like swords! Perfect for a pirate party, probably not perfect for an elementary school party. (You know how schools are crazy about anything that even looks like a weapon.)
Aww, these molds are adorable. I love the swirlyness. Is swirlyness a word? Swirliness? Whatever, these are just the cutest and I can’t get over it.
So these might be the most ordinary ice pop molds on the list, but that doesn’t mean they’re not just as fun! They’re stackable, which is a great space saver for all of you who like to hoard kitchen supplies. Believe me, if I was rich, my kitchen would be filled to the brim with stuff. I’d probably have a collection of owl salt shakers or something.
These ice pop molds remind me of watermelon, which is probably the point. They’re darling and definitely put me in a summer mood. Anyone up for a watermelon flavored ice pop?
These molds are rocking and rolling. For the rock star within you, these would be great for a party or an outdoor summer concert. I’d love to lay out a picnic blanket and listen to some great music while eating some great guitar-shaped ice pops.
I’ll admit, I’ve never been on a sailboat. They look kind of boring, since they’re pretty slow. I’m more of a speed boat kind of girl, but sail boats are far cuter than speed boats. And I imagine there’s something calm and relaxing about sitting on a sail boat while a cool breeze dances around you… Ah, I’m falling asleep now. Give me an ice pop to stay awake!
Did you find the ice pop mold of your dreams? I know I did! Star Wars ice pop mold, I’m coming for you! (And maybe the rest too.) I hope you eat lots of ice pops and have the best summer ever.
Everybody loves Star Wars! It’s one of the biggest franchises in history and of course it’s spawned all kinds of merchandise, from spin-off movies and TV shows, to countless toys and action figures, books, household items, and my favorite, clothing! There’s so much great Star Wars clothing out there and I’m here to share some of my favorite Star Wars swim suits!
I hope you love my picks, and always remember, there’s plenty more to look at!
This stylish one-piece is subtle and subdued, not overly flashy, but it’s understated appearance looks good at any pool or beach. The black At-At designs against the white backdrop make for a geeky yet still fashionable piece.
The bright orange color is perfect for summer and it’s not too bright, as it contrasts with the dark blue background. BB-8 is a beloved, relative newcomer to the Star Wars series, at the cute little droid made his first appearance in Star Wars Episode 7. No wonder he’s already so popular, I mean, just look how adorable he is on these swim trunks!
I know these are the only swim trunks for adult men I’ve included, but they are the best I’ve found. The space ships are cool looking and any man wearing these will still feel fashionable without being too nerdy.
I love the print on this swimsuit! It looks like a scene straight out of the movies and it’s a beautiful image. Also, who can resist C-3PO and R2-D2? They are such a great duo!
Okay, I know this is the only bikini on the entire list. I love bikinis, don’t get me wrong, but when looking for something to show off my love of Star Wars, most bikinis don’t have enough fabric to properly show off the love. (They’re better for showing off skin.) Anyway, I thought this bikini, with its simple Star Wars logo definitely shows off a proper amount of geekery.
Blue is my favorite color, so of course I had to include these awesome swim trunks! The color is gorgeous and what little boy doesn’t want to wear a stormtrooper print? These trunks are seriously great!
Technically, these trunks aren’t retro, but I’ve called them that as the design just looks so 70s inspired. It looks like a pair of swim trunks that a boy would be wearing at the pool right after watching the original Star Wars movie in 1977; just look at the images of Chewbacca and Darth Vader and the rest of the gang. I’m a huge fan of retro designs, so these swim trunks are a huge winner.
Can you say cute? I know R2-D2 seems to be on almost all Star Wars merch, but he’s just such a lovable character, not to mention how great he looks as a clothing design. I love this one-piece swim suit. It’s sexy and adorable at the same time.
After so many boys swim trunks, it was about time to feature trunks meant for an even younger age. These cuties are for toddlers and your tiny tot will be sure to look like the coolest kid at the pool. Look at the cartoony versions of Darth and the stormtrooper, they just get my heart!
After featuring so many women’s suits, it was time to show a girl’s swim suit. This tankini is adorable and will show off your future Princess Leia’s love of Star Wars. She will be the coolest princess on the sands of Tatooine.
Star Wars Darth Vader One Piece Swim Suit
This might be my favorite swim suit on the entire list. It’s definitely something I could see myself wearing. Darth Vader may be evil, but while wearing this suit, you’ll look evilly sexy.
Long sleeve? Odd choice, you may be thinking, but if you’re planning to go surfing, this might be a good option. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more modest or something to help you cover up on an especially burning sunny day. Whatever the reason is, this swimsuit, once again featuring our friend R2-D2, is a great choice.
I hope you found something to wear for a great day at the beach or pool and to show off your love of the wonderful Star Wars!
