A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality.

Hot spots: Orlando's indoor attractions offer cool-down options
ORLANDO, Fla. — Yes, it's crazy hot outside. But yes, there are options to steaming and standing in line for a ride. Orlando has many indoor attractions to fill the overheated vacation and staycation time. Here are five combo packs that offer direct sunlight only whilst you are moving from the car to the gate. Merlin minds Icon Park offers several 1-2 attractions punches, but consider a stroll through Madame Tussauds Orlando then winding through Sea Life Orlando Aquarium. They're both in the large building at the base of the Orlando Eye, so there would be no heat or rain to fret about in between stops. All three of those attractions are owned by Merlin Entertainments, so there are ticket bundles available. Tussauds features wax-based replicas of famous folks ready for their close-ups and your selfies. A recent addition is a new version of Taylor Swift, one of 13 poses created for Tussauds outlets worldwide. Sea Life is home to creatures such as sharks, turtles, stingrays, jellyfish and seahorses, and the structural highlight is probably the Ocean Tunnel that gives dry landers an all-around look at underwater life. Merlin also runs Sea Life Florida Aquarium, which opened next door to Legoland Florida in Winter Haven earlier this year. More info: and Go: Karts and cars At Dezerland Park, which bills itself as Florida's largest indoor attraction, double up on driving-related activities. The building houses electric Go-Kart courses, including a major hairpin. Nearby is the Orlando Auto Museum with 2,000 vehicles worth $200 million. Some are old and rare, some are big-screen famous and others are just, well, unusual. Those attractions are separately ticketed. There are additional Dezerland options, such as bowling, ax throwing, pinball, laser tag, movie theaters and Jumpstart, which blends sports and trampolining. More info: Old and new tech More than a century ago, the Titanic, a modern sea-going marvel, sank in the Atlantic. Some 200 items (and replicas) from the liner are on display at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, including a formidable chunk of the ship's actual hull. The attraction recently added a black-glass necklace recovered from the ocean floor and thought to be another possible relic from the ship. Tech today allows adventure in a headset. Moving south down International Drive from the Titanic attraction is Sandbox VR, newly opened at Pointe Orlando. The attraction features headsets and full-body motion capture for experiences titled 'Squid Game Virtuals,' 'Amber Sky 2088' and 'Curse of Davy Jones.' More info: and Believe it times 2 It's odd, and that's OK. The Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum has a slew of items related to heaven and Earth, including a room devoted to the freak show that is Florida. But there's also movie-making tributes and Feel Far Out, a space section, that shows off a 3,197-pound meteorite as well as a 'Star Wars' lightsaber wielded on screen by Luke Skywalker. Its next-door neighbor is sister attraction Ripley's Mirror Maze, which messes with your mind with reflections (and reflections of reflections) and LEDs that distort the pathway through. Not coincidentally, Ripley's daily cartoon for Monday told us that 'the human brain is less capable of complex decision-making when it's too hot outside.' More info: Escape from I-Drive Two Orlando museums have fresh offerings, though walking between the two would not be recommended this week. The Orange County Regional History Center presents 'Orlando Collected,' a gathering of items related to pop culture, politics, parks and more in honor of the 150th anniversary of the city's founding. This Friday, the downtown museum has a 'lunch and learn' session on the making of the exhibit. Meanwhile, Orlando Science Center (about 2.5 miles to the north in Loch Haven Park) has four levels of exhibits and films plus its current exhibit called 'DC Superheroes: Discover Your Superpowers.' Capes are provided. More info: and _______ Solve the daily Crossword

35 Inexpensive Alternatives To Name Brand Products
A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 that gives Baccarat Rouge 540 luxury but, like, as a much cheaper, light body spray. If you've tried anything from Sol de Janeiro, you know their scents are literally top freakin' tier, and this Brazilian jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk little bottle of gold doesn't disappoint. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress reviewers are comparing to the popular Skims dress. This dress will hug you tight and have those curves looking smokin' hot. You can't go wrong with a basic maxi bodycon dress. A pack of 240 pimple patches because a pimple is NOT ruining our day, babe! These patches use hydrocolloid material to help absorb all the gunk and tea tree oil and salicylic acid to speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Reviewers are comparing these babies to the ever-so-popular Starface patches. Abracadabra, psh, what pimple? A spaghetti strap top with a built-in bra that reviewers are comparing to its long-lost twin sister over at Alo Yoga. Long story short — messy divorce, Amazon, and Alo Yoga decided they'd each take one kid and never speak of the other. Kinda like that one Disney movie. Promising reviews: "I have had my eye on the Alo Yoga top for $51 and found this one on Amazon for a fraction of that!! Fits me perfectly. There are no pads, but I prefer that. It does come with cup inserts, but the material is thick enough that nothing shows. #founditonamazon." —Jessica"This top is a swap for the Alo Yoga top. They look exactly alike! The fabric is very soft and stretchy. These padding inserts are seamless and comfortable." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors). An E.l.f. lip balm that'll have you like *wait, are we sure that this isn't Laneige in disguise?* These hydrating, nourishing balms are packed with ingredients your lips will ~love~ like shea butter and hyaluronic acid, and they'll give you an ever-so-sheer tint. Plus, you could get all five for, like, the same price as ONE of the name-brand ones. Or an E.l.f. Glow Reviver melting lip balm, which not only comes in the most stunning shades, but it'll slick your pout DOWN with some deliciously buttery moisture without the sticky feeling. Reviewers compare it to Summer Fridays, and that shine?! To die for. 😍 Promising review: "Diva, stop letting these influencers sway you into spending your hard-earned (and scarce) beans on $20–$30 subpar lip balms — you're paying for the brand, and the quality is questionable. E.l.f. KNOCKED THEM BOTH OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS! SO BUTTERY, SO YUMMY, SOOOOOOO MUCH PRODUCT!!!!! I wasn't expecting the tube to be so generous in size, by far the biggest amount I've seen from the market. The flavors are divine, the color payoff is even better than Summer Fridays…and it's only $9, you cannot go wrong. I just can't fathom any balm being priced above $12, E.l.f. always hits and barely misses. 🩷💋" —SONIAGet it from Amazon for $9 (available in six colors). A 40-ounce Simple Modern tumbler with a handle if you look at the price of the Stanley cup and refuse to pay that much. This little insulated baby has your name written all over it. New fave cup? I think yes. Say hello to your new emotional support water bottle. A 6-quart Dutch oven — a heavy-duty cast iron with enamel coating that'll evenly distribute heat and lock in moisture so you can chef up some Gordon Ramsey-level cuisine. Le Creuset and Staub are SHAKING cuz this inexpensive baby can do everything they can do, but for so much cheaper. And we like cheap around here. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the price?! Wooo 😮💨 luxury for the low is always a win. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit because the Skims one seems great and all, but that price does not. If you want the vibe but don't wanna drop the $70, grab this and just say, "yeah, it's the name-brand one." I won't tell, I swear. If you get two of these, you'll still spend less than you would on ONE from Skims. We love to see it! A mini belt bag with an adjustable strap that's super stylish and will hold your things while you go hiking, to concerts, travel, ya know. Also, a reviewer-beloved Lululemon belt bag swap! We live for a less expensive alternative! Slingback heels because, ooooh, look how gorgeous! These are drool-worthy, and if you think they look a bit familiar, it's definitely cuz they could pass as the Chanel pair. Now, you can get the look without having to spend an entire paycheck. A pair of stylish gold-plated teardrop earrings that'll make everyone think you dropped a bag 💰 on Bottega Veneta. I know, I know, they look like they weigh A TON *but* reviewers actually say they're super lightweight and don't affect sensitive ears! Oversize square sunnies with glare-reducing polarized lenses and UV 400 protection so you can give Bottega Veneta vibes while avoiding designer prices. Elevate your ~lewk~ without elevating your credit card balance too much. A set of six breathable seamless thongs because these laugh in the face of Victoria's Secret's five for $30 and Skims' three for $39 deals. They won't show under your clothes and, surprisingly, reviewers say they're comfy! Comfortable thongs sound like a myth, but these babies prove that they're so real. A set of Amazon Basics silicone baking mats you'll be able to reuse again and again. They're literally exactly like the popular Silpat mats except you'll get two of these babies for the price of one of the fancy ones. Say goodbye to the days of having your homemade cookies stick to the pan and say hello to brighter baking days with these affordable kitchen lifesavers. A bottle of Dossier Ambery Vanilla perfume inspired by the ever-so-popular but super expensive Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume. With enchanting notes of mandarin, pear, pink pepper, jasmine, orange blossom, cedarwood, patchouli, vanilla, and more, this heavenly scent will have everyone asking what fragrance you're wearing. A transfer-, smudge-, sweat-, and water-resistant L'Oreal Paris Infallible setting spray mist that lasts up to 36 hours and has TikTok in a full chokehold. Literally, my jaw is on the floor. Reviewers are loving this affordable alternative to the One/Size setting spray mainly because this is basically witchcraft in a bottle. Put it on, and your makeup isn't going ANYWHERE. A pair of cozy memory foam platform sandals, aka the Steve Madden Slinky sandals' identical twin. These Y2K-esque cuties will def be your favorite shoes to reach for all summer long. An expensive-looking faux-leather belt to throw on and rock with your jeans. It's the little things that make the outfit, and this little thing will make a big difference for a small price. An elevated laptop tote bag which could seriously pass as the Béis Work Tote by Shay Mitchell. I mean, the resemblance is uncanny. Plus, it's roomy as heck so you can carry around your computer all day in style. A Briotech spray with hypochlorous acid in it, just like the well-known and loved Tower 28 SOS spray. If you wanna soothe inflammation, tone down redness, and strengthen your skin's barrier without having to drop a bag, this magical little facial mist is right up your alley. A cubic zirconia cuff which looks a lot like the Cartier Love bracelet and will make everyone do a double-take, cuz they'll think you're growin' money trees since the name brand one is over $17,000. 😱 Is your jaw on the floor, cuz mine is. A Nyx brow pencil that has Anastasia shakin' in her boots because this bad boy rivals the ABH Brow Wiz. This super skinny pencil will allow you to create hair-like strokes to sculpt and fill in any areas that are sparse. One side has a little spoolie anddddd it's like $15 less than the ABH one. A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a slit and a cute lace-up back. The devil on my shoulder keeps whispering *add it to the cart* and I'm like .2 seconds from giving in. Plus, it looks extremely similar to the $200 House of CB one, and we LOVE an affordable lookalike. It's giving ~demure~. A pair of double buckle slides that, wait, are we really sure that these aren't Birkenstocks in disguise? I mean, they have to be cousins or something, right? They come in *so* many colors and the straps can be adjusted for a perfectly custom fit. Or a pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals made by the same makers of the TikTok–famous cloud slides! Reviewers say they're super similar to Birkenstocks, like, so similar, they could pull a Hallie and Annie Parent Trap trick. A high-stretch, sweat-wicking flared bodycon jumpsuit that'll be a closet staple every season. You'll love it because, boom, it's a whole outfit without thinking of what pants or shirt to wear. Throw it on by itself or add a jacket and serve away in this Aritzia Butter look-alike. A Baroque mirror which will give you that expensive, fancy, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie look without the expensive, fancy price. This beauty costs hundreds less and will add that touch of traditional glam you've wanted. A scoop neck top that'll deliver you that *buttery soft* Skims feel without that high as heck Skims price. Plus this one comes in SO many colors, it'll be hard to choose just one. Maison Louis Marie perfume oil, a *clean* fragrance with notes of sandalwood, amber wood, and vetiver that has TikTok *obsessed* cuz it smells verrry similar to the popular, expensive as heck Le Labo Santal 33 fragrance. So good, even Bad Bunny uses it! Check it out on TikTok!Promising review: "This scent is beautiful, just what I was wanting. I've worn Santal 33 for a long time, and this scent is very similar but sweeter because of the subtle nutmeg and vanilla." —Christy it from Amazon for $17 (available in nine scents). Or a "Soft" perfume rollerball which has TikTok in love. It's a warm, sweet scent with a hint of citrusy zest that reviewers are comparing to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, warm vanilla scones, and even this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar! So basically, you'll smell good enough to eat, and everyone will want to sniff ya. It layers extremely well, it's super affordable, and it smells like freakin' heaven. CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream so you can save money and get a quality moisturizer that'll help renew and hydrate your skin while you sleep. This ~dreamy~ lil' hyaluronic acid- and niacinamide-packed baby is being compared to the quite pricey Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer. And best of all, it's only 18 freakin' dollars. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are easy to put on and can be worn with practically anything. They're bound to become a go-to shoe this summer, and people may even believe they're the popular, *expensive* Dolce Vita ones. A sunrise alarm clock so you can wake up like a Disney princess, like you've always wanted. Reviewers say this is a lovely little ~affordable~ alternative to the over $150 Hatch one. Thirty minutes before your alarm goes off, it'll gradually brighten from red, to orange, to bright white *and* you can use it at night to help you peacefully drift off with a soft glow, natural sounds, and an auto shut-off function. This is def GOATed.

32 Things For The Smartest Shopper In The Friend Group
An eight-compartment pill organizer so you can ditch the bulky bottles for something that's way easier to slip in your pocket. You'll also be the hero of your travel group when anybody has a sudden headache. A ridiculously beautiful Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer that looks so chic you'll be tempted to plan your entire outfit around it. "Does anyone have any hand sanitizer?" one of your woefully unprepared friends asks. "Oh, I do" you nonchalantly say as you casually blow their mind with the most ~aesthetic~ hand sani they've ever seen. Once they realize it's hydrating and smells delightful, you might not get it back. And a pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets — it'll seriously come in handy when the public restroom you're using is out of that mysterious pink sludge they call soap. Just pull out a sheet, wet it, then get to lathering. "Seriously, is there any scenario you're unprepared for?!" — your friends, probably. A set of hair-tie bracelets that look like a chic accessory at first glance but are actually your secret weapon for whipping your hair up into a flawless pony at a moment's notice. The boho-chic designs will match basically all of your summer 'fits, and your hair will appreciate the super smooth and stretchy nylon. A travel brush with a hidden compartment, which is one of those "seriously, where has this been my entire life?" kind of inventions. The surprisingly spacious compartment slides out so you can store your hair ties, lip balm, bobby pins, mini perfume, or even an extra pair of earrings. This is basically Mary Poppins' purse in hairbrush form. Also, your goal of traveling with just a carry-on is about to be SO much easier. A 🚨 limited edition 🚨 Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" that's simply way too good to gatekeep. Imagine a vanilla bean Frappuccino with a pump of marshmallow syrup — that's exactly what this creamy lip balm smells like!! It's also super smoothing thanks to the cocoa, avocado, and shea butters — and one reviewer even said it's better than Laneige and Summer Fridays. 👀 Or a Lip Smacker Rolly Lip Gloss that will make your pals green with envy when they only have the tiny unscented lip balm they got from the dentist. The flavors and retro-chic packaging will transport you back to the days of fighting over Backstreet Bosy vs N*Sync — and the reviewers say the cooling formula is surprisingly moisturizing. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush — it looks at competitors like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block and shouts, "WHY ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE?!" The powder formula makes it super easy to touch up your sun protection throughout the day. However, the real jaw-dropping feature is that it applies perfectly to your scalp — yes, your scalp needs SPF, too! And an Abib Airy SPF 50+ Sunstick Smoothing Bar, which is a popular K-beauty pick with a unique curved design that practically hugs your cheekbones as you glide it on. It's also perfect for precisely gliding along your hairline or the sides of your nose, and the semi-matte formula will keep you glowy without looking like a disco ball. A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags — they may look like regular ol' tea bags, but they're actually your secret to making you and your friends some super affordable cocktails. Just dunk the bag into 3.5 ounces of water, add 1.5 ounces of vodka or tequila (or just do a Sandra Lee pour if it's that kind of night), wait for the contents to dissolve, and drink up! Your friends will be so relieved they don't have to drop $20+ on one drink tonight. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so even your boo-boos will be super cute and match all the sundresses you bought for summer. Or! If you scrape your knee while gardening, these floral cuties will keep the happy vibes going. And a compact but super helpful first-aid kit — you'll be prepared for any boo-boos that threaten to ruin the vacay you've been waiting all summer for. Just imagine: You're walking on the boardwalk during your beach getaway, then someone in your party trips and scrapes their knee. "Ow! I really wish I had an alcohol wipe, some Neosporin, and a bandage!" they exclaim in pain. That's when you swoop in and dethrone Superman as the ultimate hero of summer 2025. Kitsch's flat claw clip so you can show your friends that they no longer have to put up with the flimsy, cheap hair accessories they've settled for. This sleek clip holds a surprising amount of hair with ease, and reviewers say it's super durable. The flat design also means the claws won't dig into your head, so you won't have to take it off when you lean your head back on a headrest! Dramamine in a ridiculously compact bottle that is perfect for slipping in your carry-on, personal bag, or even your pocket. And this is the "less drowsy" version, so you won't have to choose between falling asleep or nausea. Just take at least a half-hour before traveling (but no longer than an hour before) and it'll help alleviate nausea, dizziness, motion sickness, and vomiting. Or a teensy 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler to help lessen nausea, morning sickness, motion sickness, and general queasiness. It's non-medicated and won't make you drowsy, so you can use it any time — just use the inhaler side two to three times per use, or flip it over to the oil-rub applicator if you want to apply it directly under your nose. A sophisticated leakproof laptop lunch tote with a super secret, built-in insulated lunch compartment that'll keep your Diet Cokes crispy and your sandwich lightly chilled. This is some real Totally Spies-level innovation right here. And don't worry, the actual tote is still very spacious and has enough room for the essentials and not-so-essentials. Or a Simple Modern rubber tote bag that dares to ask the question, "What if the Bogg Bag wasn't nearly $100?" The answer is this waterproof, durable design that's ridiculously easy to clean, so it's bound to become your go-to beach bag, workout bag, picnic bag... you get the gist. There's even a detachable zipper pocket for your phone or other small items you want easy access to. No more getting bogged down with expensive, trendy bags, amirite?! I'll see myself out. Or!! An effortlessly chic woven straw summer clutch if you want to signal to your friends that you've entered your minimalist era, but you still need your lip gloss and portable charger at arm's reach at all times. It also looks way more expensive than it is, so you'll get a kick out of telling them it was under $20. A smooth edge can opener — a helpful gadget and cool party trick in one! This can remove the entire top of most drink cans, meaning you can spruce up your bev with ice, syrups, or fresh fruit without having to dirty an extra glass. Imagine sipping a wild berry Poppi (the best flavor, FYI) with actual blueberries floating in your can. 😭 An auto-open (and auto-close!) umbrella with thousands upon thousands of rave reviews. Yes, you read that right. How does a meager umbrella have that many fans? Many of them say this is truly windproof — meaning it won't flip inside out when a heavy gust of wind blows your way and embarrass you in front of the besties. They would NEVER let that go. An ultra-slim portable charger for all of us who have an irrational fear of our phone dying at the WORST possible moment. Can you imagine getting lost or having two hours left of your flight when you get that "10% battery" warning?! This has a 10,000 mAh battery, which should be enough to power up most smartphones more than once per charge, so feel free to share some power with your whole group! A slim and super discreet travel bottle of Poo-Pourri because rumor has it you're going to end up banned from Chili's if you stink up the bathroom one more time. Sorry, I know how much you love a Triple Dipper 😔. Luckily, this exists and is super easy to carry around — just give the water three to five spritzes before you go! The super popular Bug Bite Thing, which uses the simple power of suction to alleviate the post-bite itching and swelling from the adorable but vicious bumblebee that attacked you during a picnic while you were distracted by an equally cute butterfly that landed on a sunflower (I think they may have been working together). It works on everything from mosquito bites to wasp stings, so you'll probably want this in your pocket any time you leave the house this summer. A travel case of mint dental flossers because it's honestly impossible to live in the moment and create long-lasting memories when you have a piece of spinach stuck in your teeth. This compact case comes with 12 floss picks, and it's easily refillable! A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers — wait, how long have these been a thing?! Do you know how many markers child-me had to toss because the cap went rolling under the stove, never to be seen again?! Well, now you and the crew can finally do those arts and crafts nights you've been talking about without searching for lost caps at the end of the night. A set of Lock Laces to turn all of your sneakers into slip-ons, which is the height of convenience and also super helpful for people with limited motor skills. Now you can just slip your shoes on, pull the toggle cord to your preferred tightness, and watch your friends marvel at how fast you get ready. A pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth, and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. Prepare to share the Amazon link to everyone you hang out with. A glasses lens cleaner so you finally say goodbye to those microfiber cloths and disposable wipes that just seem to smear the dirt and oil all over your lenses. This little tool has a small brush on one side to wipe away dirt and dust, while the microfiber pads on the other side will wipe away oils for a streak-free finish without scratching your lenses. Go ahead and pass this down the aisle on your next movie night. A travel-friendly version of the iconic Tangle Teezer that'll hardly take up any room in your already-crowded bag. Reviewers say it works the same detangling magic as the full-size version (that's thanks to the two-tiered teeth design that detangles and smooths at the same time), and it's so much better than those flimsy travel flip brushes that brush approximately two strands at a time. Although, prepare for your friends to call you Rapunzel for brushing your hair all day, every day. A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes so you can easily refresh your skin while you're gallivanting about.
