Posted on by

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!

Zoku Space Pop Molds with Rockets and Astronaut,6 pops

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.

Tovolo Rocket Pop Mold, Orange – Set of 6


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.

Tovolo Robot Pop Molds – Set of 4


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?)

Star Wars Lightsaber Ice Pop Maker by ThinkGeek


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.

NUOP Swordsicles


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.)

Mastrad A47221 Ice Pop Molds, White Base


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.

Lekue 4 Unit Stackable Ice Lollipop Mold


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.

Popsicle Molds Set –  6 Ice Pop Makers by Lebice


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?

Guitar Ice Cream Popiscle


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.

Cuisipro Sailboat Pop Mold – 837440 by Cuisipro


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.

The Best Star Wars Swimwear

Posted on by

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!

Star War At-AT One Piece Swim Suit


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.

Star Wars BB-8 Boys Swim Trunks


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!

Star Wars Ship Men’s 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.

Star Wars C-3PO and R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


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!

Star Wars Logo Bikini


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.

Star Wars Stormtroopers Boys Swim Trunks


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!

Star Wars Retro Boys Swim Trunks


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.

Star Wars R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


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.

Star Wars Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Toddler Swim Trunks


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!

Star Wars Girls Tankini


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.

Star Wars R2-D2 Long Sleeve Swim Suit

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!

Animatronic Shark Swims in a Hotel Pool

Posted on by

If you see this shark swimming in your hotel’s pool, you know it has to be fake, because how did it get there? But there’s still no way you are entering that pool. There’s just no damn way.

shark_animatronic_1zoom in


This amazing animatronic creation is the work of artists at VFXLAB special effects. They are the sick minds who put it in a hotel swimming pool to test it out. There’s actually a guy underneath controlling it. It is pretty impressive and real enough to give people a heart attack.

No way would I go for a swim in there, even knowing that this thing is fake. Because what if it isn’t? You just don’t take chances with sharks in a pool.

Emoji Billiard Balls: PoolMoji

Posted on by

What do you do when you and your co-workers get a new pool table at work? Naturally you decorate all of the balls with hand-painted emoji faces. Why not? It’s a pretty fun way to play a game of pool.

poolmoji_1zoom in


The game is now called “PoolMoji” and it looks like a lot of fun. When the balls are emotionally affected by the game, it makes for a LOL night of gaming. Who needs stripes and solids? Just make it happy emotions vs. sad emotions. You can paint up your billiard balls just like these and have yourself a unique game of pool. It will impress your friends, and maybe make them sad that they are treating these balls so badly.

Somebody needs to make this an actual product we can buy. I wish I had thought of this.

Inflatable Unicorn Pool Float for a Magical Day at the Pool

Posted on by

Depending on where you live, you might be wondering why I am already talking about pool toys. Well, I am talking about them because here in Texas, we’ve been done with winter for a while now. It was 90ºF this past Saturday, and pools were definitely open. That means it’s time to break out the pool toys or lake toys, if you can stomach swimming in water where fish and alligators poop. This oversized Unicorn Pool Float has enough room for more than one person, and looks good doing it.

The other reason we might need one of these floats in Texas is that we are getting all the rain right now. ALL OF IT. This would be the perfect way to float your beer and Xbox out of harm’s way when your street floods, and flood it will. Not quite Noah’s Ark, this thing, but you could fit a couple Chihuahuas on it in a pinch.

Get your own for $99.99 over at Perpetual Kid and be the most magical person in the pool (or floating down your street).

This Donut Pool Table Is Part Of Your Balanced Breakfast

Designer Cléon Daniel built this donut pool table. It’s a pool table that looks like a donut, in case you couldn’t tell. He also built one that looks like a banana back in 2013. Hopefully he’ll do a pizza version next. Why? Because pizza is the tits, that’s why! What kind of question is that?
