I've got to configure my news settings. I was looking at different stocks so my news aggro decided I was desperate for news on Disney parks re-openings (I am not). One piece of news was that they're getting to redesign splash mountain. Apparently the theme was "Song of the South" which was news to me. I've never seen that particular Disney movie (and I'd assume they'd prefer no one see it but I digress). The new theme will be The Princess and the Frog theme (with Tiana). I welcome this for a variety of reasons, getting rid of the tie-in to the movie is fine but like...Disney World needs some updating big time. I actually thought it looked really tired last time I went (I go every year more or less). None of the new movies are really represented in the park, which is a shame. It looks like it's been in the works for awhile so hopefully the rest of the park gets a refresh. I'm not going to pay out the ass for a run-down park Disney. I'm actually more concerned that they're reopening (Disney World is). It'll be a cold day in hell that I'd go to Disney during a pandemic but apparently some people are desperate. I'm not that obsessed with the mouse. Anyways, since I'm not going to Disney anytime soon, lets talk about PopSugar. They announced that they're no longer going to do the boxes. This is bad news because I really enjoyed them (although good news...no more tassels). I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I might try a different lifestyle box or I might just decrease my subscription. My issue with many subscription boxes is that sometimes the items included are really not worth the value claimed. We shall see.
I know there were some complaints about people who wore glasses (not contacts) or needed magnification. I do understand the frustration with that. I was super excited about their inclusion because I spend a ridiculous time on my tablet, computer and phone. I have a little extension that pops up and tells me to move my eyes away from the screen after so many minutes. Also, it might be worth talking to the eye doc about adding a film to glasses to help with that. The second item is from Omorovicza. It's called the Magic Moisturize Mist. The cost of this was $95 (wow!). I like mists just fine but I haven't used this yet (I have one from Tony Moly I'm going through now). I don't have anything from Omorovicza so I'm glad to try this out. I can't say much about this spray other than it's in a pretty bottle, but the booklet claims that it's not greasy so that's nice. I hope I don't fall in love with this, otherwise I'm going to have to get a second job to afford my champagne tastes.
The necklace was the annual tassel inclusion (although apparently there are more tassels in the summer box). While I normally don't enjoy the tassel options, I kinda like this one. I've decided to keep it although I haven't worn it yet. It's by Bluma Project and is called their Luna Necklace. The price listed is $75. There were two color options, blue (lagoon) or cream (sand) to pick from but the website shows many other colors. I choose the blue colorway. There are three strands but the tassels are just in the middle (and hang over the third strand). I think it's actually going to look nice with my weekend outfits (jeans and a t-shirt). The next item was a set of four bowls. They're from Canvas home and are their shell bisque cereal bowls. While not really my design style, I quite like them. They're sturdy and the color palette is really pretty. A set of four is listed for $72. After looking through the website, I'm not sure you can get the bowls in the multi-colored pack like below, they seem to only offer them in sets of one shade. The extra items were tea and clorox wipes. The tea is from Yogi and is their blackberry apple cider digestive awakening tea. Which is quite a title. I added to my tea trolley as I'm quite a fan of tea in general. The tea is caffeine free, gluten free and vegan. I mean, it's tea.
The second item was from Clorox and is their new wipe item. It's called scentiva disinfecting wipes. I believe it joins their normal disinfecting wipes, but with different scents. I haven't used these as of yet because I have some that are being currently used. We received three of the four scent options. Both items were welcome additions for the beginning of this quarantine for me.
