Earlier this year, I wrote two posts about my search for and desire to buy camping gear, specifically camping chairs and a tent or canopy. Since I wrote those posts, the time I consider the peak summer time period (Late May through mid July) has passed. Because time has passed since I wrote those posts, I want to write an update post about my search for camping gear.
For the past few weeks, during my blogging break, I’ve been working on cleaning out my house. It was not the only thing I did during my break, but it is the activity that took up most of my free time. I have a lot of things in my house and it’s time to let a lot of them go. I wanted to do this major clean out of my house for many years, and I have been going through my things for years and getting rid of them, but that wasn’t enough. So, I’m committed to focus on cleaning out my house as much as possible whenever I have the time to do it.
Since this takes time, I haven’t been able to think of a lot of a lot of blog post ideas. Even if I have ideas, I don’t have the time and/or energy to work on them. Still, I’m thinking about things and wondering what direction I want to take my blog and posts towards.
During my clean out, I found many things I want to get rid of, but don’t want to talk about online. I just want to search through things, decide what to do with them, and actually do what I decide to do with them. I don’t want the added stress of explaining my reasons for my decisions online!
In 2025, the laundry detergent brand Gain, as well as many other brands, released collaboration collections to promote the movie, Wicked: For Good. The collection Gain released included a detergent and two in-wash scent boosters.
During a shopping trip to my favorite Walmart, I found the Gain collection for sale. It had the detergent and one of the two scent boosters. I debated if I wanted to buy them, but after shopping around the store some more, I decided to buy the detergent and scent boosters.
I originally planed on using the detergent and scent boosters and then write a review on this blog before the end of 2025. Unfortunately, things got in my way, causing me to delay using both the detergent and scent booster for my wash. Even though it is 2026, I wanted to talk about my experience using them in posts. As of the publishing of this post, the only product I was able to finish using is the detergent. Because of this, I want to talk about the detergent first.

Out of all the categories the Roller Rabbit x Target collection has, one of my favorites is the home and outdoors category. It is also the category I will probably be purchasing something in the collection from.
The home and outdoors collection covers a wide range of products. They range from colored pencils to outdoor furniture to electronics to tableware. Everything has the Roller Rabbit designs used throughout the Target collection.
While picking things to feature in this post, I realized everything I picked ranged widely in price. The lowest priced items are a deck of cards and sticker pack for $5 each while the highest is a wicker patio table for $250. If you are interested in purchasing something small, practical, and useful from the collection, I would recommend browsing the home and outdoor category.
Please Note: All the items mentioned in this post are picked by my own personal taste and is based off what I saw online before anything is available to be seen and touched in person. All the photographs of the products are from Target’s free to download media pack on Target’s website. All the names of the items and it’s cost is taken from the listings from Target’s website.

Almost two weeks ago, Bath and Body Works released their Disney Princess Collection for 2026. They previously released a Disney Princess collection in 2025. Both collections have six scents inspired by six Disney Princesses. They include Belle, Tiana, Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White. The 2026 collection has four new scents (Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White) inspired by Princesses that were not a part of the 2025 collection. In addition to these four new scents, two previous scents (Belle and Tiana) from the 2025 collection were rereleased and a seventh scent (Life is a Fairy Tale) that was not inspired by a specific princess were released for the 2026 collection. The scents were available in multiple products and merchandise inspired by specific Princesses and the Disney Princess brand were released as well.
I wrote a post about the description of each of the fragrances in this year’s collection. (You can read it here) In this post, I wanted to share my favorite products in this collection. There are many things I like about this collection, so my list is long. Unfortunately, I decided to skip this collection and not purchase from it. Still, I enjoyed browsing it as was heavily tempted to buy several items from it!
All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for each of the products. All the pricing information is also from the same listings as well. Not all the products mentioned in this post are available as of the publishing of this post.

Last year, I pulled muscles while cleaning things out of my house. After deciding to continue cleaning, I quickly realized these pulled muscles were not ordinary pulled muscles. Yes, they were pulled muscles, but I pulled them really badly. So badly I couldn’t walk, bend down, or lift anything really heavy. My movement was limited, especially since I pulled muscles all over my body.
Once I realized this, I began to cut back on the amount of cleaning work I was doing. When that was too much for me, I began to clean less and less. After cutting back as much as I thought I could, I decided to just stop cleaning (Aside from normal home cleaning such as cleaning the bathroom, sweeping the floor, ect.) until my muscles healed.
This past weekend my muscles have healed enough for me to start cleaning again.

Last month, the Walmart I normally shop at put their Valentine’s Day decorations on shelves. After browsing what Walmart had, I found some decorations I liked, but not enough to buy them at that time.
Since Valentine’s Day is next week, I want to show my Valentine’s Day favorite decorations for sale at Walmart.

Last month, I discovered that Bloomingdale’s has a new collaboration in their stores. This collaboration is with the movie Wuthering Heights and the studio releasing it, Warner Brothers. The movie, which will being it’s theatrical run on February 13, 2026, will star Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and is inspired by the English novel by Emily Bronte. The collection is part of Bloomingdale’s pop up shop called The Carousel at Bloomingdale’s. The collection is available at Bloomingdale’s in store and online until February 22.
I haven’t thought about Wuthering Heights until the buzz around the 2026 movie started. (‘m not a big fan of the book, so I didn’t think I would see anything I would like in the collection. Much to my surprise, I did find things in the collection I really like! The pieces in the collection, which includes clothes, jewelry, fragrances, beauty products, and more, has a gothic look to it, yet it I think it is very wearable.
After browsing the collection, I decided to pick my favorite items in the collection and feature them in a post. Before I show my favorite items in the collection, I wanted to mention a few things. Bloomingdale’s is a luxury department store, so the prices will reflect that. All the clothing and jewelry in this post are by the brand AQUA. The napkin rings are by Kim Seybert. And finally, all the product photographs in this post are from Bloomingdale’s website.

A few months ago, I went shopping for my groceries. On that day, they had new plants available to purchase. Some of those plants were herbs.
I browsed them and liked how healthy they looked. I wanted to buy another basil plant for months, but I debated if I should purchase one again. I normally buy my plants from a Walmart I normally shop at, but for the past few years my plants have died due to issues with fungus and bugs. (I think it has to do with the location of the Walmart to nearby farm fields.) Since I have issues with these plants, and the grocery store had really nice, healthy plants, I decided to buy a basil plant from the grocery store.
Last year, I decided to shop for new ornaments that are different to the ones I can normally find at Hallmark’s stores. One of the ornaments I stumbled across is Lenox’s Snow Majesty Snowflake ornament.
I don’t normally like anything from Lenox’s line of metal ornaments. They don’t always have a shape or look that I like. Sometimes, the quality isn’t as nice as the ceramic ornaments. In 2024, I really loved with that year’s metal ornament. I liked it’s design and the quality, so I decided to purchase it.
