There’s a T-Shirt That Smells Like Bacon & You Can Buy It Right Now

by Jennifer SwartvagherDecember 12, 2019

What’s better than the smell of bacon as it sizzles in a pan? Now you can carry that scent around with you all day long thanks to Candy Couture California. The site, which recently launched at the end of November, features a vast collection of scented t-shirts for children and adults.

The founder, Sara Kissing, explains that the process of infusing scents into the printing process is very difficult to perfect which is what makes it such a unique concept.

These high quality fabric t-shirts are paired with original artwork that perfectly matches up to each scent.

With over 17 scents available, there is something for everyone. Kids will delight in the sweet smell of cotton candy or strawberry. Gift your favorite yogi with a lavender scented shirt. Snuggle in with the scent of fresh cup of coffee or surprise a car enthusiast with a shirt infused with motor oil and gasoline. There’s even a pine scented shirt for the holidays.

Packaged beautifully in a posh and sassy, black and glossy resealable bag, with proper care, these t-shirts will hold their scent for about 15 washes. Even when the scent starts to fade, this gift will be talked about for years.

These scented specialty garments are available only at Candy Couture California, starting at $80.

If your fam is visiting the Paris park and just can’t wait until 2020, you can catch Frozen: A Musical Invitation starting Nov. 17, 2019. As part of the Animation celebration in Walt Disney Studios Park, the interactive adventure will feature magical song and dance experiences with Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Elsa.

Along with the multi-month celebration and the interactive musical adventure, Walt Disney Studios Park will also add an expansive Frozen-themed area. According to Disney, “Guests will see the snow-capped mountain of Arendelle in the distance opposite a magnificent lake, with an attraction that will take them to the center of the kingdom.” The yet-to-be-named Frozen-land will also include character encounters, a restaurant and a film-themed shop!

Starbucks Unveils the Rainbow Tie-Dye Frappuccino & Now Your Summer Is Complete

by Erica LoopJuly 10, 2019

Two years ago Starbucks unveiled the coveted limited-time Unicorn Frappuccino, and everyone (at least everyone on Instagram) took notice. This year the coffee giant is making a summer splash again—but this time with a rainbow-hued Tie-Dye Frappuccino.

So what exactly is a Tie-Dye Frappuccino? According to Starbucks’ website, the drink starts with a tropical Crème Frappuccino base. The barista then adds dashes of yellow, red and blue powders made from red beet, tumeric and spirulina. Now that your Frap is rainbowed out, it’s topped with whipped cream and a dusting of colorful powder.

Designer of the drink, Paloma Carrington-Bataller, said in a press release, “We wanted to create something that celebrates summer and really conveys it both visually and through flavor within the beverage.” Carrington-Bataller also added, “We knew it had to make you smile at first sight and our Tie-Dye Frappuccino does all this! It’s summer in a cup and something everyone can relate to; it takes you back to sunny warm days of summer spent at camp or with friends and family.”

If you’re an all out adventurous Frap enthusiast, run to Starbucks right now. This colorful concoction isn’t part of the regular menu and is only available while supplies last.

Here’s How Your Kiddo Can Help NASA to Name the Mars 2020 Rover

by Erica LoopJune 26, 2019

Your kiddo might just get a chance to name the next Mars rover. NASA recently announced the selection of two partner organizations, Battelle Education and Future Engineers, to run its nationwide K-12 naming contest!

The Mars 2020 “Name the Rover” contest will open to students in kindergarten through grade 12 next fall (fall of 2019). The 2,300-pound rover is set to launch July 2020 with a touch down date on the Martian surface of February 2021. The rover will explore the planet’s surface, collect samples and look for signs of past microbial life.

Want to help select the name for #Mars2020, our next rover? We’re looking for judges for the naming contest that will open this fall. https://t.co/a0LyChKQCW pic.twitter.com/iQC4Se4Rez

George Tahu, Mars 2020 program executive in NASA’s Planetary Science Division at the agency’s Headquarters in Washington said in a press release, “Contests like this present excellent opportunities to invite young students and educators to be a part of this journey to understand the possibilities for life beyond Earth and to advance new capabilities in exploration technology.”

If you’re just as much of a space enthusiast as your child—you’re in luck! NASA is looking for volunteer judges to review the entries!

by Erica LoopApril 26, 2019

Get ready for a glittery surprise! Hatchimals Pixies are here and your kiddo is going to absolutely adore these cute collectibles. Read on for more info on the egg-included awesomeness.

If you have a Hatchimals enthusiast in your household the Pixies line is a must-have. Your child’s newest friend comes in a 2.5-inch sparkling ombré-glitter egg. And it just gets better from there.

To hatch the glitter egg all your child needs to do is hold it in the palm of their hand and rub the purple heart. When the heart turns pink the egg is ready for some serious hatching action. Press down on the egg to crack it open and reveal a seriously sparkly Pixie.

Each Pixie has sparkly hair, glittery wings, a poseable head and fashions inspired by their Hatchimal hangout. Look for three mystery accessories hidden under a special bed in each egg’s base.

Hatchimals Pixies (for children ages five and up) retail for $9.99 and are available in stores nationwide now.
