Gradchanted by Morgan Matson Book Review

Around this time last year, Gradchanted was published. It is the second book in the book collaboration between young adult author Morgan Matson and Disney.

When it was published, I debated if I should purchase it. Although I have some praiseworthy things to say about the first book in the collaboration between Morgan and Disney, I didn’t like it a lot. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to purchase it to see how I’d like it. Since that time, I have read and reread the book a few times and decided to share some of my opinions in this review. I already reviewed Promchanted, the first book in the collaboration. You can read the review here.

Promchanted by Morgan Matson Book Review

In 2024, a new book written by Morgan Matson was published. The difference between this book and her previous books was this book was published by Disney and is inspired by Disneyland and Disney’s movie, Sleeping Beauty.

The book, called Promchanted, was a book I was very curious about. I didn’t know if I would like it or not, but I decided to purchase a copy of the book and read it.

Since then, a second book was published, Gradchanted also by Morgan Matson. I also purchased and read that book, but, since Promchanted was published first, I decided to write a review about Promchanted before Gradchanted.

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Favorite Products

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.

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Scents and Scent Notes

Over a week ago, Bath and Body Works released their 2026 Disney Princess Collection. This collection is the second collection in their Disney Princess line. The line, which was originally released in 2025, is a limited edition collection of scents and products inspired by Disney’s Princesses. Each line has six fragrances in it, with each scent inspired by a different princess.

This year, Bath and Body Works released a new collection inspired by the Disney Princesses. There are two returning scents from the 2025 collection and four new fragrances inspired by the Princesses. The four new Princesses in this collection are Aurora, Rapunzel, Mulan, and Snow White while the returning Princesses are Bell and Tiana. The four new Princess inspirations are different than the ones featured in the 2025 collection. There is also a seventh new scent in the collection called Life’s a Fairytale.

I’m late to the social media bandwagon for this collection (And a lot of other things as well) but I decided to write two posts about the collection: One that talks about the scents in the collection and one that talks about my favorite products in the collection. I think the scents are more important to talk about when deciding what to buy in the collection, so I’m going to start with that.

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for the fine fragrance mists. The information about the fragrances are from the official listings for the fine fragrance mists. All the scents mentioned in this post are available as fine fragrance mists, diamond shimmer mist, body wash, ultimate hydration body cream, foaming hand soap, wallflower fragrance refill, 3-wick candle, single wick candle, PocketBac hand sanitizer, and lip gloss.

My Favorite Events for Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary

Today is the start of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary! I am really happy to see Disney is doing special things for the platinum anniversary of Disneyland. (Also known as the Disneyland Resort)

Although I have no plans for a vacation to Disneyland this year, I still try to keep up to date with what is going on in the park. This way whenever I do go on vacation to Disneyland, I will know what has changed and what hasn’t. For the 70th Anniversary, there are events planned from May 16, 2025 through 2026. This allows for a longer window of time to visit the park and enjoy the special anniversary events.

After doing some research about the anniversary events, there are a few anniversary events that caught my eye. Since they start today, I wanted to talk about my favorite events in a post. I got the information about the events from Disneyland’s official webpage for the 70th anniversary and from Disney Parks Blog’s Complete Guide to the 70th Anniversary.

Makeup Revolution x Finding Nemo Collection

Last year, I spotted a few collaboration makeup collections available on a permanent basis at my closet Walmart. They were located in the same section as the same makeup brand that is part of the collaboration. Normally, collaborations at my Walmart can be found in their own special display or on an end cap in the beauty section.

One of the collections I saw was Makeup Revolution x Finding Nemo. When the collection was originally released, I didn’t browse the collection very well. This time I decided to take a more serious browse.

Walmart’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 2024 Holiday Decor

For 2024, Walmart had a lot of holiday decor that was popular. Unfortunately, my Walmart, which is a smaller sized store, didn’t get very many decor that was popular. Instead, there were popular decor that was popular in the area where I live. One of those decorations was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas and many Tim Burton directed films and TV shows are popular in my area. So is the merchandise inspired by them. This is why I wasn’t surprised when most of The Nightmare Before Christmas themed decorations sold out. There was a restock around late October, so there were items still for sale in December. Still, The Nightmare Before Christmas and items relating to it still remains to be very popular.

I was able to see the decorations in store before they began to sell out. Even though I do not share my area’s fandom for The Nightmare Before Christmas, I did find some items in the collection really cute.

Walmart’s Stitch Holiday Decor 2024

In a previous post, I talked about Walmart’s The Grinch holiday decorations. Along with The Grinch, the Walmart I normally shop at also had decorations inspired by two other popular animated movies. The one I liked a lot was the Stitch decor.

I like Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, but it isn’t my favorite Disney movie of all time. Still, I sometimes like to browse Stitch themed items just to see how they look. This year’s holiday decor was cute and I even found some decorations I seriously considered to purchase! (I decided not to due to reasons unrelated to if I like Stitch or not. One of the reasons is if I felt comfortable purchasing more holiday decor this year or not.)

Book Review: Santa Stops at Disneyland- A Little Golden Book

Ever since I was a girl, I enjoyed reading Christmas books. Even if it wasn’t Christmas time, I still would like to read them! As an adult, I still enjoy reading Christmas themed children’s books. Even though my collection is not very large, I still enjoy reading them!

For this year’s Blogmas, I decided to write some more reviews on some of my Christmas children’s books. I decided to start with one of my newest additions to my book collection: Santa Stops at Disneyland!

Walt Disney’s Santa’s Toy Shop: A Little Golden Book New Printing Review

Holidays are my favorite time of the year to read children’s books. When I was a child, I loved reading and hearing stories read to me during Christmas time. Today, I still like to read those same books for nostalgic reasons. One of my favorite books from childhood is A Little Golden Book called Walt Disney’s Santa’s Toy Shop.

Going through my old things, I found an old version of Santa’s Toy Shop in my things. Since it is old, and probably from the 1980’s or earlier, I decided to buy a newer version of the book. My plan is to use the new print of the book without worrying about damaging the older book.

Since I have a new version of the book, I wanted to write a review about this book for this year’s Blogmas!
