Get Ready to Relive the Pain of Adolescent Crushing With Netflix's Sierra Burgess Is a Loser
Netflix's upcoming original movie describes itself as a "modern rom-com retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story," and from the trailer, it's also going to smack us all right in the feels. The story focuses on Sierra (Stranger Things legend Shannon Purser), a smart high school student who unintentionally begins catfishing her crush because of a case of mistaken identity. She teams up with Veronica, the school's typical popular mean girl (Kristine Froseth), in hopes of winning over her crush, played by The Fosters's Noah Centineo.
Though it seems like a classic, formulaic rom-com, the trailer promises some seriously heartbreaking and moving scenes with stellar acting by Purser. There are also some very familiar faces in the show's cast, including This Is Us's Chrissy Metz, Alan Ruck, and Lea Thompson. Check out the trailer above, and tune in when Sierra Burgess Is a Loser starts streaming on Sept. 7.

Elisabeth Moss Talks The Handmaid's Tale Season 3: "I Hope She's Gonna F*ck Some Sh*t Up"
In case you've been living under a rock - and not pelting them - The Handmaid's Tale has been terrorizing viewers for two epic seasons. Each week, we watch with the slightest of hopes, knowing that with every small win is a bigger impending doom. Yet we keep the faith that a reckoning is upon Gilead.
Oh, and there is a reckoning, all right. Here's your official warning: if you haven't watched the season two finale of The Handmaid's Tale, it's time to stop reading . . . unless you like spoilers, in which case, be our guest. But seriously - turn back now if you don't want to know how this season ends.
Monday night, POPSUGAR joined the cast and crew, celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and Kylie Jenner, and a theater full of fans to experience the finale and then discuss the season. Moderated by Jon Lovett of Lovett or Leave It, the cast touched on what it's like experiencing a world like Gilead day in and day out, that epic Aunt Lydia scene, and hopes for season three.
Seriously - big spoilers for The Handmaid's Tale season two finale below!
Executive producer Bruce Miller introduced the episode, saying the show is about Gilead, a place where there's "violence, misogyny, and where kids are separated from their parents." The irony wasn't lost on the audience; he implored everyone at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre to raise money and vote so that the country doesn't end up resembling the one in the series.
In the episode, June (Elisabeth Moss) gets into a violent altercation with Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). After learning that Eden's own father is the one who turned her into the authorities, ultimately resulting in her death, June talks back to Fred, which earns her a punch to the face. This isn't surprising, but June returning the favor is. But that's not even remotely the most shocking part of the episode. Instead, that honor goes to the finale's final sequence. "The Word" ends with June escaping - again! - with baby Holly, thanks to a network of Marthas. However, at the last moment, she decides to stay behind so she can attempt to rescue Hannah. All of this in addition to giving birth alone the episode prior. So, how is Elisabeth Moss holding up? "It's fun. It's what I love to do," she said. She emphasized that she doesn't do it alone but instead "does it together" with the cast and crew.
Madeline Brewer's Janine has a few great comedic moments in this episode, and she is still as positive as ever. When asked how her character continues through dire, seemingly hopeless circumstances, Brewer insisted that it's similar to how anyone responds to what's happening in the world. "Everyone watches the news and digests it differently. On certain days, Gilead is not all just sadness and horror," said Brewer. "Janine looks for the good in everything or else it will destroy her."
During the season, Serena has an opportunity to leave Gilead, but she refuses to take it. It's not entirely surprising, but given we've seen a more human, modern version of Serena lately, especially during her interactions with June, it's confusing. "It's a can of worms. Serena has faith in what she's given up for the greater good," actress Yvonne Strahovski explained. "She's also too manipulative to take it immediately, without plotting and thinking it through."
As for Emily (Alexis Bledel)? She has been stewing all season - she's pissed, and rightfully so. We've seen her kill a woman at the Colonies, brutalize her dead commander after he suffers a heart attack while raping her, and struggle to find a footing in her uncertain new home with Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), whose unconventional (for Gilead) ways have us wondering if he's going to end up a hero or destroy her at any moment. A man at his level does not offer us much hope, but good news: he voluntarily gets himself into "deep sh*t" by helping her escape with June. Before Emily sees the light at the end of the tunnel, she sees cutlery . . . and stabs Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) in the back with a kitchen knife and beats her down the stairs, reaching her breaking point. When asked about the most cathartic scene of the season, Bledel said it became "very clear where Emily's rage comes from. She has no outlet. You can't inflict trauma on someone and expect it to fizzle away."
"I hope she's going to go back and f*ck some sh*t up."
With several crowd-pleasing and heart-wrenching moments throughout the episode, fans have a lot of hope to move forward with. But here's what we don't know: Is Aunt Lydia still alive after all that? What happens now that June has voluntarily sent baby Holly off with Emily to Canada? And do they actually escape? What repercussions will Commander Lawrence experience, if any, and how deep has he infiltrated into the resistance? How will June rescue Hannah, and what consequences will she face upon her return? Will she end up back at the Waterford's? How does Serena move forward in her marriage with Fred, if at all? Does Fred make Nick pay for his actions? WHAT ABOUT RITA?!?
"Next season is about fighting back," said Miller. The finale gave us a taste of the kick these women have inside them, and it seems inevitable we'll see more retaliation in season three. From June punching Fred to Rita conspiring to help June escape, Serena standing up for the amendment against the tyrannical Gilead laws, and, of course, Emily's fuse being blown, the women have had it. But with some critics and viewers saying the show pushes it with depictions of violence and that some of the content hits too close to home, Miller objects that it's not overly gratuitous, explaining further that, for instance, it wouldn't have been as effective if the handmaids had just been talking the next day about almost being hanged. "This stuff is happening all over the world. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen."
As for her hopes for June next season? "I hope she's going to go back and f*ck some sh*t up," said Moss. "It's time. She's had enough. I've have enough. We've all had enough."
Childish Gambino Just Released 2 Summer-Themed Songs, and They're a Whole Mood
Childish Gambino just dropped two of the smoothest Summer songs we've heard in quite some time. The 34-year-old artist released his Summer Pack EP, which features the tracks "Summertime Magic" and "Feels Like Summer," after no promotion or warning, on Wednesday morning. "Summertime Magic" has us ready to be boo'd up all summer long, while listening to "Feels Like Summer" just makes us want to sit back and relax.
Summer may have started in June, but Gambino definitely brings the heat with these lush tracks. When you're done vibing to "Summertime Magic" and "Feels Like Summer," be sure to check out Gambino's surprise release from earlier this year, "This is America."
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie Are All Loved Up in London 3 Weeks After Their Wedding
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony on June 23, and from the looks of it, they're still floating on cloud nine. On Wednesday, the newlyweds looked all loved up while doing some car shopping in London. Kit and Rose held hands as they walked through the parking lot, and at one point, Rose adorably wrapped her arm around her husband and the two shared a laugh.
It's still unclear if Kit and Rose already went on their honeymoon or if they're postponing it until Game of Thrones is officially done filming its final season. However, we did spot the pair enjoying a postwedding lunch with family and friends at Wardhill Castle in Scotland just a few days after their nuptials. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The 25 Most Memorable Musical Acts to Appear on The Bachelor Franchise
It's kind of nuts to think about, but The Bachelor franchise has been dishing out drama for 16 years now. Since its 2002 inception, we've seen over 35 seasons filled with smooches (some better than others), a lot of crazy shenanigans, and of course, many proposals, loving relationships, and inevitable heartbreaks. Over the years, we've also been gifted music via live performances from both big and small names, including Train, the Backstreet Boys, and Robin Thicke. After much research, we put together an entire list, from those early seasons to current, of musicians who have made an appearance on the franchise.
Dan Fogelman's New Movie Looks More Heartbreaking Than Every This Is Us Episode Combined
This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman just can't help himself when it comes to making people cry. Not only are we emotionally broken by his hit TV show each week, but the man has also just gifted (cursed?) us with another heartbreaking trailer for his new movie, Life Itself.
The drama hinges around a ridiculously beautiful couple (Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde) whose life together - from their first meeting to having a baby and raising their child - spawns "a multi-generational love story" that stretches from New York City to the Spanish countryside. Of course, in true Fogelman fashion, one tragic event is what connects it all.
Life Itself will hit theaters on Sept. 21, and also stars Mandy Patinkin, Olivia Cooke, Laia Costa, Annette Bening, and Antonio Banderas.

Billy Dee Williams to Play Lando in Star Wars: Episode IX - Here's Who Else You'll See!
Although the official title for Star Wars: Episode IX remains under wraps, a few key details (and plenty of interesting theories) about the final installment in the recent trilogy have begun to leak out. While the late, great Carrie Fisher won't be reprising her role as General Leia Organa this time around, it's been revealed that director J.J. Abrams has his eye on a few other big stars to play new - and familiar - roles in IX. Ahead you'll find all the actors slated to join the upcoming film.
Sharp Objects Isn't Filmed Where You Think It Is
Sharp Objects' opening scenes unfold in a neighborhood that may look familiar to many viewers. Its main street is lined with shops you might find in any small town: a pharmacy, a package store, a deli. Further out from the sleepy, all-American town center are broad, winding roads and whimsically tall trees. This is Wind Gap, MO, where a young version of Amy Adams's character Camille Preaker is growing up. With her is a sister whose fate we start to understand as the first episode of the HBO series based on Gillian's Flynn's novel draws us into its twisted world.
But the Show Me State didn't get a visit from Adams or her esteemed fellow actors during filming in the fictional town of Wind Gap or for Adams's scenes in St. Louis, where she moves as an adult and works as a reporter. Instead, Sharp Objects took its production team to Barnesville, GA, and several locales in California, including Santa Clarita, Mendocino, and Los Angeles.
Director Jean-Marc Vallée, of Big Little Lies fame, reportedly fell in love with Barnesville, outside of Atlanta, while scouting locations and felt it would work well as Wind Gap. Judging from the evocative first episode of his newest HBO series, we'd agree his chosen filming location was spot on in creating a seriously intriguing vibe that has us thirsty for more!
Creator Flynn was born in Missouri, which explains why her novel and the subsequent movie is set there. Fans of Flynn's may remember that her wildly popular novel Gone Girl is set in the town of North Carthage, MO. But unlike Sharp Objects, the film was actually filmed in Flynn's home state.

Thrill-Seekers, Would You Ride This Dangerous-Looking 180-Foot Forest Slide?
Remember those really tall carnival slides you would go on when you were a kid? You would sit on potato sacks and slide down from way above the ground. Or maybe you recall the playground slides where groups of children would gather around the stairs leading up to them, excitedly waiting their turn to slide down. Now imagine a slide, similar to these two, but just much, much higher and nearly 180 feet in length, amid a forest - dreamy, right?
This famous 180-foot giant slide is located at Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald in Germany and is open from mid-March through early November each year from morning until later in the evening. To get to the top, slide-goers must travel up a curving wooden tree walk that takes you high above Germany's Black Forest, offering a scenic view of one of the country's largest vacation destinations along the way. Visitors, ages 6 years and up, use large, sliding mats to plunge down the 180-foot tunnel, winding tens of stories down and eventually landing at the base of the forest.
If you plan on visiting this corner of the world and are looking for a thrilling experience, be sure to check out the slide at Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald while you are there!
The Best Type of Weed to Smoke For Your Zodiac Sign
Cannabis-lovers know that smoking certain strains can enhance different sensations and highlight different qualities of the smoker - our zodiac traits are no different. Each zodiac sign has unique characteristics that make them special, as do the hundreds of different strains of marijuana. There is a weed strain that will complement your sign perfectly, enhancing your positive traits and minimizing your less favorable ones. Here are my picks for the perfect cannabis match for your sign, so you can get high in perfect harmony with the stars.
Aquarius
Aquarius is the most original and authentic of all the signs - you're the humanitarian and social reformer of the zodiac. You care deeply about people and their rights. Smoke a strain that enhances your creativity, like Blue Dream, to brainstorm and develop your next world-changing idea. This sativa-heavy hybrid helps you focus; you can sort your thoughts and put your energy into what really matters to you. Another benefit that's great for this air sign? The heavy-body high. You'll be relaxed and present, not lost in another dimension, like Aquarians tend to be. Blue Dream is the perfect match for this progressive, idealistic sign.
Pisces
Pisces are ultrasensitive beings and can easily get lost in the depths of their emotions. A blissful sativa hybrid like Sour Dream is the perfect strain to uplift your mood, clear your mind, and spark your imagination. The euphoric effects will bring you back to earth - a common challenge for this dreamy, fluid water sign. Sour Dream is a cross between Blue Dream and Sour Diesel: it mixes the body relaxation from the former with the dreamy and imaginative cerebral effects from the latter. It'll keep you grounded while inspiring you to get creative and tap into your more passionate, spiritual side.
Aries
Aries are the thrill seekers of the zodiac, full of energy, confidence, and courage. Adventure is great, but you can also be impulsive and impatient at times - you should smoke an indica that will chill you out, like Granddaddy Purple. This strain is a cult favorite for a reason: it'll bring you down to earth and make you feel more levelheaded. Your friends will thank you for your mellower, less intense energy, even if it's just momentarily.
Taurus
The symbol for Taurus is a bull for good reason: you can't tell a Taurus anything. Anyone with this stubborn sign would benefit from smoking something that's leveling, opening up their mind to other people's opinions. Cherry Lime is a balancing blend: it'll enhance your warmhearted and loving attributes and keep you uplifted and engaged for a spirited debate. You'll still be ready to go toe to toe, but you'll be in a much chiller mindset and won't piss off your opponents as easily.
Cancer
Cancers are one of the most sentimental, intuitive, and sympathetic signs of the zodiac. You have a tendency to be overly emotional, though, and have a hard time letting sh*t go - you'd rather retreat back into your shell than address things head on. Purple Haze is your perfect cannabis match. This sativa-heavy strain provides a euphoric feeling, encouraging you to socialize and come out of your shell. Its calming effects encourage you to let go of your defensive tendencies and let your loving nature shine through.
Gemini
Gemini are incredibly social beings - you're best known for being witty, intellectual, and lively. You'd do best smoking a strain that spotlights your outgoing personality while minimizing your more tense, anxious attributes. Silver Haze is a sativa-heavy strain that will give you a smooth-head high, keeping you engaged in your social circles and clearheaded enough to pop off your clever one-liners. It's a strain that's famous for its antianxiety effects, which is perfect for when you're feeling nervous or unfocused.
Leo
A Leo's perfect cannabis match is a strain that makes you feel like your most sexy and confident self - not that you need any help with that. Cali Queen is a sativa-dominant hybrid of Blue Dream and King Louis that will have you smoking like the queen (or king) you are. You're the boldest, most luxurious sign of the zodiac, so you can handle (and might even love) the potency of this hybrid - it is very potent, FYI. Since Leos are known for being the life of the party, your friends won't be too surprised.
Virgo
Virgo is the sign of perfection: you analyze (or overanalyze) everyone and everything around you. An indica blend, like Girl Scout Cookies, is the perfect strain to chill you out and help you let go of your incessant need for perfection. It'll help keep you grounded, which is the ideal mindset for Earth signs. A Girl Scout Cookie high is peaceful and calm, a perfect balance for your more neurotic side.
Libra
Libras are known for their fun-loving and social nature; you love to surround yourself with glamorous things. Cherry Pie is your ideal strain, as it's known for its beautiful flowers and an addictive aroma. Libra is a charismatic and spontaneous sign, so you should smoke a strain that helps keep you balanced - your symbol is a scale, after all! Cherry Pie allows your mind to stay engaged and productive for socializing, but it will have your body feeling extra relaxed. This is the perfect strain to satisfy your self-indulgent side.
Scorpio
Scorpios are often a mystery to the people they meet. You're intense, intellectual, seductive, and often misunderstood. Your sign rules the sexual organs of the body, so your sensuality and allure are truly unmatched. You should smoke a strain that complements your deep, overwhelming nature. Sour Diesel is such a versatile strain - it's the perfect match for such a mysterious sign. It's great for anxiety, so it'll help curb your edgy, often jealous side and help lift your mood. This is an amazing strain to have sex on, another reason it's the perfect match for the hypersexual Scorpio.
Sagittarius
You're the explorer of the zodiac, always down for adventure and always craving expansion. Your optimistic outlook helps you to inspire others to dream bigger, but you can sometimes be a little too intense for those who don't also see the world as their playground. Black Jack is the perfect weed match for a Sagittarius. It's a sativa that'll give you a euphoric vibe, which will enhance your positive and encouraging attributes but won't hype you up enough to bring out your preachy side. Your less ambitious friends will thank you.
Capricorn
Capricorns are the most disciplined, ambitious, and composed of all the signs. You're practical and grounded, but you can be so uptight sometimes! Smoke a fun strain that will help you forget about your responsibilities for a minute and let loose. Jack Herer is an energizing, sativa-dominant strain that helps relieve stress and uplifts moods. Capricorns could use a break from all of the pressure they put on themselves. Smoking this strain will have your stress melting away so you can just chill - something that can be foreign to this extraresponsible sign.

Rose Gold Fans, Prepare to Obsess Over This New $68 Suitcase on Amazon
I'm a sucker for anything rose gold, so when I had the opportunity to test out this American Tourister Moonlight Spinner ($68), I jumped at the chance. I have been on the hunt for hardside luggage that's easy to carry - luckily this arrived just in time for a two-week trip to New York City.
Not only did the suitcase look beautiful, but I was shocked by how much room the 21-inch design had inside. The black and gold lining was a pretty touch, too. I was able to fit a couple of jackets, three pairs of shoes, and plenty of outfits in the space. There's also a mesh divider so you can keep items separated, as well as a hidden pocket in case you want certain belongings stashed away privately.
If you need any extra space, the zipper expands 1.5 inches - that came in handy for the additional purchases I made on my trip. The wheels rotate 360 degrees, so no matter which way you're going, you'll get a smooth ride as you pull the suitcase along. Overall, I'm really happy with this spinner and would recommend it to anyone who needs new travel accessories - it gets my stamp of approval.
If rose gold isn't your thing, the suitcase comes in a marble or popsicle print as well. Give it a try on your next adventure!

We're Not Sure If Disney's Rainbow Ice Cream Is For Eating or Putting in an Art Gallery
Shaved ice. Soft serve. Candy. All good things on their own, but even better combined! Luckily, this ultra-Instagrammable dessert from Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea checks all of the boxes. Available for only a month every Summer during the Tanabata Days ("Star Festival") celebration, Cream Shaved Ice is a rainbow-colored frozen delight that is almost as much of a treat for the eyes as it is for your tastebuds.
The base of the dessert drink is shaved ice flavored with either peach or a "blue jelly," which reportedly tastes like a fruity soda. On top of the ice is a soft serve ice cream, then rainbow-colored creme candy balls. If you're lucky enough to attend Tanabata Days and enjoy this limited-time menu item for yourself, you can find it at Rackety's Raccoon Saloon behind Space Mountain and at other eateries throughout the Tokyo Disney resort.
Yum! We're not sure whether we want to eat one or hang a photo on our gallery wall, but suffice it to say that the Cream Shaved Ice is enough to tempt us into a Tokyo trip next June. In the meantime, we'll be drooling over these ridiculously colorful photos of the treat!

This Cheap Wine From Walmart Is Ranked as One of the Best in the World
If you're one of those people who orders the cheapest glass of wine on the menu because you can't tell the difference (no shame), this news is going to make your day. A $7 bottle of wine sold at Walmart has been ranked as one of the best in the world by Decanter Magazine, which covers wine and spirits. The award-winning red wine is La Moneda Reserva's Malbec, a Chilean wine whose description notes that it has a "deep purple color with violet tints, rounded and velvety tannins, complex plum, fig, and strawberry flavors and excellent length."
The wine earned the title of Platinum Best in Show at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards, where more than 200 experts tasted thousands of wines (blindly!), proving that a wine's price tag is not always associated with its quality. The best part is the wine is now available for the first time at Walmart locations in the US, after previously only being sold by Walmart's UK-based grocery brand, Asda. Note that wine is an in-store-only purchase at Walmart, so you can't buy it online. Check the online store locator to see if it's in stock near you. If you volunteer to bring the wine to dinner, you'll be able to impress your family and friends with this award-winning bottle - they'll never have to know the cost.
This Beach in South Africa Is COVERED With Penguins, and You Can Take Photos With Them!
Newsflash: you don't have to freeze your face off in Antarctica to hang out with penguins. You can get up close and personal with the aquatic birds in a much warmer, Summer-approved locale: South Africa. About 30 miles south of Cape Town is Boulders Beach, a rocky cove that's home to thousands of adorable African penguins. Also known as "jackass penguins" for their donkey-like whinnying, this particular species is endangered, but that doesn't stop them from living their best lives in the sunny South African climate. The black-and-white cuties spend their days waddling around, swimming in the ocean, and posing for photos with tourists (sounds pretty relaxing to us!).
If you're interested in visiting Boulders Beach soon, we've got a few facts and pointers to pass along first:
- Boulders is located in Simon's Town, South Africa, and is part of Table Mountain National Park.
- The beach is public, but there's a small entrance fee that helps maintain the grounds.
- If you prefer to view the penguins from afar, there's an elevated boardwalk to admire them from.
- You can swim in the water, but it'll likely be pretty frigid.
- Visitors are advised to avoid touching or feeding the penguins. They have razor-sharp beaks, and they're not afraid to use 'em if they feel threatened.
- During popular Summer months, parking can be scarce, so it's suggested to arrive as early as possible on the day of your visit.
- The adjacent beach, Foxy Beach, is also inhabited by penguins and is typically less crowded than Boulders.
Ready to book your tickets to South Africa so you can visit this heavenly spot? Browse through the photos below as a virtual tour of sorts, and you'll certainly feel inclined to start planning your trip to hang out with the African penguins ASAP.
Cardi B's Maternity Style Was Fire - Okurrr!
Cardi B confirmed she was pregnant during a performance on Saturday Night Live after she appeared in a formfitting, white Christian Siriano dress, and, throughout her pregnancy, the 25-year-old star embraced her baby bump. Since Cardi just announced the birth of her daughter, Kulture, we decided it's time to journey back in time and admire all of her amazing maternity outfits.
During her pregnancy, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper continued to rock typically fun pieces, like the minidress with a superpoufy tulle skirt she wore to the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the sexy black dress and cropped trench coat she rocked during New York Fashion Week, and her Fashion Nova pieces, too. Let's take a look back at Cardi's fabulous maternity style.

The Only People Who Call Cardi B by Her Real Name Are Her Parents
Cardi B took the music world by storm last Summer with her hit songs "Bodak Yellow" and "Bartier Cardi," and the former reality TV star isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, topped the charts - so shouldn't you learn a little more about her? Let's start with her real name.

Cardi was born Belcalis Almanzar to a Trinidadian mother and Dominican father on Oct. 11, 1992, in the Bronx. She's admitted that "no one calls me Belcalis except for my family, my mother and my daddy." During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, Cardi explained that she got her nickname from the rum brand Bacardi, saying, "Everybody used to [call me] Bacardi. Then I shortened it to Cardi B, [and] the 'B' stands for beautiful or bully, depending on the day." We'd hate to catch Cardi on "bully" day.

This cupcake has everything - rainbow, sparkles, edible "pearls," and confetti, not to mention a tasty secret filling. It's available for $7 at the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, and it's worth the price for the colorful photos alone.

Target Aisles Are Getting a Little Brighter Thanks to These Museum of Ice Cream Pints
The Museum of Ice Cream is going national. While the interactive Instagram-friendly exhibit won't be opening locations across all 50 states anytime soon, its ice cream has officially landed at Target! Starting July 8, seven of the Museum of Ice Cream's fun flavors will be exclusively available in Target stores nationwide. Leading up to the partnership, the two brands also opened The Pint Shop in New York City, where visitors are able to try the signature flavors.
Target previously released a line of children's clothing with the Museum of Ice Cream earlier this year, so the move to sell actual ice cream certainly seems like a natural one. The seven flavors hitting shelves include: Sprinkle Pool, Churro Churro, Piñata, Cherrylicious, Vanillionaire, Nana Banana, and Chocolate Crush. Learn more about the flavors, and see some pretty pictures of the pints ahead.

We're Not Sure If Disney's Rainbow Ice Cream Is For Eating or Putting in an Art Gallery
Shaved ice. Soft serve. Candy. All good things on their own, but even better combined! Luckily, this ultra-Instagrammable dessert from Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea checks all of the boxes. Available for only a month every Summer during the Tanabata Days ("Star Festival") celebration, Cream Shaved Ice is a rainbow-colored frozen delight that is almost as much of a treat for the eyes as it is for your tastebuds.
The base of the dessert drink is shaved ice flavored with either peach or a "blue jelly," which reportedly tastes like a fruity soda. On top of the ice is a soft serve ice cream, then rainbow-colored creme candy balls. If you're lucky enough to attend Tanabata Days and enjoy this limited-time menu item for yourself, you can find it at Rackety's Raccoon Saloon behind Space Mountain and at other eateries throughout the Tokyo Disney resort.
Yum! We're not sure whether we want to eat one or hang a photo on our gallery wall, but suffice it to say that the Cream Shaved Ice is enough to tempt us into a Tokyo trip next June. In the meantime, we'll be drooling over these ridiculously colorful photos of the treat!
Thrill-Seekers, Would You Ride This Dangerous-Looking 180-Foot Forest Slide?
Remember those really tall carnival slides you would go on when you were a kid? You would sit on potato sacks and slide down from way above the ground. Or maybe you recall the playground slides where groups of children would gather around the stairs leading up to them, excitedly waiting their turn to slide down. Now imagine a slide, similar to these two, but just much, much higher and nearly 180 feet in length, amid a forest - dreamy, right?
This famous 180-foot giant slide is located at Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald in Germany and is open from mid-March through early November each year from morning until later in the evening. To get to the top, slide-goers must travel up a curving wooden tree walk that takes you high above Germany's Black Forest, offering a scenic view of one of the country's largest vacation destinations along the way. Visitors, ages 6 years and up, use large, sliding mats to plunge down the 180-foot tunnel, winding tens of stories down and eventually landing at the base of the forest.
If you plan on visiting this corner of the world and are looking for a thrilling experience, be sure to check out the slide at Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald while you are there!
Rose Gold Fans, Prepare to Obsess Over This New $68 Suitcase on Amazon
I'm a sucker for anything rose gold, so when I had the opportunity to test out this American Tourister Moonlight Spinner ($68), I jumped at the chance. I have been on the hunt for hardside luggage that's easy to carry - luckily this arrived just in time for a two-week trip to New York City.
Not only did the suitcase look beautiful, but I was shocked by how much room the 21-inch design had inside. The black and gold lining was a pretty touch, too. I was able to fit a couple of jackets, three pairs of shoes, and plenty of outfits in the space. There's also a mesh divider so you can keep items separated, as well as a hidden pocket in case you want certain belongings stashed away privately.
If you need any extra space, the zipper expands 1.5 inches - that came in handy for the additional purchases I made on my trip. The wheels rotate 360 degrees, so no matter which way you're going, you'll get a smooth ride as you pull the suitcase along. Overall, I'm really happy with this spinner and would recommend it to anyone who needs new travel accessories - it gets my stamp of approval.
If rose gold isn't your thing, the suitcase comes in a marble or popsicle print as well. Give it a try on your next adventure!

I Finally Found a Cat House That's Stylish Enough to Display - For Only $65 on Amazon!
When it comes to pets, some owners love shelling out cash left and right on fluffy beds and adorable trinkets. I'm not one of those people. My cat's favorite toy is a crumpled up paper towel. I had one exception though, I always wanted to buy him one of those cat house towers. For the longest time I wasn't able to commit to actually buying one because I was afraid of having a carpeted eye sore in my living room. A few months ago, I took the plunge and got this Vesper Small V-Box ($65) from Amazon, and I haven't regret it for a second.
I was immediately drawn to its modern design. It didn't look like your run of the mill, cheesy cat bed. The walnut-colored wood adds a chic touch, and the fluffy white bedding looks and feels like something I want to nap on. The stylish house doesn't lack in the cat department either. It features a scratching post (which thankfully my cat now uses more than my sofa), a fun hanging toy, and a comfy bed box at the bottom.
It has exceeded my expectations in both looks and functionality, and was worth every penny. If you have more than one cat, it also comes in larger options. Keep scrolling to shop.
I Decorated a 760-Square-Foot Apartment - Here's What Was Worth Buying
When I signed the lease for my first apartment, I immediately dreaded finding furniture small enough to fit inside. At just 760 square feet, this little one-bedroom box did not have "so much room for activities." No, when my boyfriend and I took measurements of the space, we were not feeling like Brennan and Dale in Step Brothers, that's for sure. I actually felt myself gulp when I looked at my closet.
Even still, we loved the sleek, modern appliances and the marble counter top. We were beyond stoked to choose our bedding, the curtains - the things we'd have to have! We went on a hunt to find some really gorgeous pieces that came at the right size, and especially, price. (Though I will say, I do think it's OK to splurge on at least one or two items you really love.)
Decor is also super important to me, and I believe that a home should reflect personality, so I kept our quirks and our hobbies in mind while shopping. I even discovered a handful of fashion brands with home lines that I never knew about. Read on to see what was worth buying, and how we organized and displayed everything once we were settled. Keep that credit card handy, too, because I'm about to show you some really cute stuff.
