Gain x Wicked: For Good Fantabulous Floral Flings Laundry Detergent Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

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.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The world premiere of the movie, The Devil Wears Prada 2, was on Monday, April 20, 2026. Due to the popularity of the first movie and the amount of time it took for the sequel to come to fruition, it looks like The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be a popular movie. Also, it looks like there will be merchandise inspired by the movie for fans to buy.

One of the tie-in collections and merchandise with The Devil Wears Prada 2 movie is with Walmart’s in-house clothing brand, Scoop. The collection includes clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. The clothing has a business casual style and would be great for the office and going out after work.

After looking through the collection, I decided to pick my favorite pieces from the collection and show them in a post. As of the publishing of this post, some of the sizes and colors of the clothing are sold out. Keep this in mind before shopping for the pieces in this collection!

All product photographs used in this post are from the product listings on Walmart’s website. The photographs have been edited by me for this post. This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own.

Movie Review: My Christmas Inn (2018)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In order to prepare posts for Blogmas 2025, I’ve been watching a lot of romantic Christmas movies. The Hallmark Channel has many Christmas movies to watch, but this year I wanted to try something different: I wanted to watch the romantic Christmas movies that are not from Hallmark.

The first movies I decided to watch is My Christmas Inn. It is from Lifetime and premiere in 2018. This one caught my eye because it stars Tina Mowry-Hardict. I remember watching it a long time ago, but I felt like I forgot about most of it. I found it available other than watch for free on Lifetime’s official YouTube channel in order to review it for this post.

Movie Review: A Merry Scottish Christmas (2023)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every Christmas season, Hallmark releases many Christmas themed romance movies. In most recent years, I felt overwhelmed by the amount of movies Hallmark releases ever holiday season. For the most part, I like them, but I don’t really love them.

In 2023, Hallmark released A Merry Scottish Christmas. When I watched it for the first time, I was really impressed by it. Since then, I’ve dwelled on the movie and how different it is from other royal Christmas romance movies I’ve watched over the past few years. This brought me to decided to write a review about it for Blogmas.

Movie Review: Hats Off To Christmas! (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The early to mid 2010’s was the time when I would watch the Hallmark Channel movies the most. I looked forward to every holiday season when new movies would be released. In 2013, one of the movies I was excited to see was Hats Off To Christmas!.

Hats Off To Christmas! seemed like a cheesy name for a movie, but it wasn’t the reason why I wanted to watch it. It was because Hailey Duff, Hilary Duff’s sister, would star in the movie. Earlier this year, I was reminded of the movie online. I didn’t have this blog back when the movie premiered, so I thought it is about time I write a review about it before I forget about it again!

Movie Review: Let It Snow (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last fall, I began to binge watch Hallmark movies that were available to watch for free with ads. I had multiple movies to pick from including some of Hallmark’s famous Christmas romances. For the most part I remember watching most of them, but the one I remember liking was Let It Snow. It has been a while since I watched it, so I decided to watch it again.

Now that it’s Christmas time again, I wanted to include a review for the movie for this year’s Blogmas posts.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Whenever I’m working from home, I sometimes put on movies and TV shows to listen to in the background. Last year, I found YouTube movies had Pumpkin Pie Wars available to watch. I remember watching it in 2016, but I forgot most of it. Since it was available to watch for free with ads, I decided to put it on while I worked.

Now that it is fall, I decided now would be a good time to write my review of it!

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

When I was a teenager in the 2000’s, it seemed like there were plenty of new and new-to-me chick flick movies to watch. In the years since then, it feels like the movies created for women have changed. This is why, every now and then, I will rewatch my favorite movies as a teenager.

Recently, I browsed my movie collection to see if there are any movies I own and really enjoyed. This is when I rediscovered some of my old favorite movies. Inspired by this, I decided to write a post listing my top 6 favorite chick flick movies for Galentine’s Day.

Wicked Part 1 Toys at Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, toy companies like to release their best toys around Christmas time. This is also the time when movies with a target audience for children and families are released, as well as toys tied in with the film.

This year, I saw a lot of merchandise for Wicked Part 1. It was released in theaters in November 2024. Before the movie was released, the tie in toys were released.

At my local Walmart, these toys were released and some sold out quickly. Others were probably delayed and showed up after Black Friday. I enjoyed looking at the toys, so here are some of the highlights of the Wicked Part 1 toys.

Movie Review: Good Morning Christmas! (2020)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, Hallmark releases a plethora of clean romantic Christmas themed movies. Sometimes, they are good. Sometimes they aren’t. Still, I enjoy trying to watch as many as I can. (I’m a sucker for clean romantic movies and books!)

Good Morning Christmas! premiered in 2020. I purchased a DVD version of it as part of a three movie set that I purchased in 2021. Since then, I have watched it multiple times and now feel like it is a good time to write a review about it. After all, I have multiple years to watch it and think about it!
