3. A pair of memory foam slippers because you deserve to walk on clouds after a long day.
Target
Promising review: " Omgoshness, I LOVE these slippers in pink so much I just ordered a second pair in the beige color. Extremely comfortable and warm. I wear an 8 1/2-9 shoe, and I ordered a size 9 slipper, and they are perfect. I highly recommend them. The shipping was quick, and I can't wait for my second pair to arrive." — Target Reviewer
4. A fuzzy bedrest pillow on the days when the best seat in the house is your bed. This pillow will help you sit up so you can read, game, watch TV, or work comfortably.
Target
5. A pack of two memory foam down alternative pillows to sink into a pillow that conforms to your curve for a more comfortable and relaxing sleep.
Target
Promising review:"SO comfy and high quality! I previously tried the Casper pillow and returned it because it was so thick and hard; this pillow is half the price and such high quality! Beware, it's hard to get out of bed in the morning when you've got such a comfy pillow." — Danielle

Target
9. An adjustable multipurpose table that has recently become my favorite TV tray. Traditional trays don't seem to have enough room beyond a traditional plate and drink. These tables have much more room to eat on and can double as a desk, a side table, and really anything else you may need an extra table for.
Target
Promising reviews:"I love this table. It is versatile and can break down rather easily. I am currently using it as a sewing and arts and crafts table, which has been perfect! I would recommend it for the price and quality." — Tee

Target
Promising review:"Super cute and functional! I love it over my cast-iron antique bathtub! I'm going to order one in a different color for my son's bathroom, which is a Hilton/poppin' tub, shower combo, and I tested it on his, and it works well with that type of tub as well!" — Danielle
12. Or, a bamboo bathtub caddy if you're looking to spend a little more time soaking. This caddy has a place to hold your wine glass, room for a candle, and a built-in space for your laptop or your favorite book. You may never get out of this tub.
Target
Promising review:"Looked up and down for a bathtub caddy that would hold my book and beverage, that wasn't too small or flimsy. Needless to say, my poor husband thought it was a stool in our bathtub and sat on it. It passed the sturdy test! 😂 Not to mention, I use this once a week for my Friday night bubble baths and love it." — SimplyAly
13. An elevated bean bag chair complete with memory foam just begging to hug the book-lover looking to create the perfect ~comfy~ nook.
14. Vine string lights sure to bring new meaning to the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. You won't miss your night sky view with these sparkling lights glistening in the background.
Target
Promising reviews:"I love these! I will say that the cord to the battery box should be much longer, but besides that, these are great. I did lose a few leaves in the process of hanging them, but nothing noticeable. I also purposely tangled a few to give them a more authentic plant look. If you're looking for a quick, easy, and relatively cheap way to add a little light and color to an otherwise sparse area, these are definitely a good option! — Alb9284
"These vines came with pre-strung curtain lights attached to bundles. They were easy to install and looked absolutely amazing in my tween daughter's bedroom. She now has an Insta-worthy backdrop and corner for selfies with her friends! We are very pleased with the aesthetic, as she calls it." — Foxxy lady
15. Or! Gradient twinkle lights complete with a dimmer, to add subtle colors to your nightscape.

16. A pack of flameless candles you can burn all night for the aesthetic of a candle lit room without the worry of forgetting to blow them out.
Target
Promising review:"I love these candles! I bought four packages and put the candles around my house. I set them for the five-hour timer and they all automatically turn on every 19 hours and run for 5 hours and automatically turn off. Very ADHD-friendly! The light is warm and helps during the dark months. One package had a tight screw and I took it to the tool lending library to get it out." — Klvm
17. An aroma diffuser for a more ambient vibe. This stylish diffuser has nine light settings between cool, neutral, and warm and can give you up to five hours of continuous mist.
Target
Promising review:"This is the BEST Target diffuser I've ever purchased!! I loved it so much I bought two more! It's elegant, yet the glass top part is STURDY!!! My kids love the spa/sound machine for bedtime and I love the different shades of spa colors!!" — Iamliongreen
18. A leaning ladder to give you an off-the-floor, out-of-the-way place to store your favorite blankets.

19. A ribbed plush throw pretty much begging you to turn on a soothing playlist, put your phone down, and hibernate for a little while.
Target
Promising reviews:"I bought this blanket to make gift baskets and had to buy another for myself. The blankets are very good quality for the price." — Diana
"So pretty and soft. My office gets so chilly. I use my pretty pink throw regularly, and it's never shredded onto my clothes. I still roll it up and use the ribbon with Velcro when storing it." — CoolCookie
20. Or, a Bare Home faux-fur blanket so you can snuggle up in a warm cocoon when it's so darn cold out and add a pretty piece of decor to your bed or couch.
Target
Promising review:"Looks and feels amazing. It's a bit lighter/more white/grey than the color I thought I was getting, but it matches my decor way better than that would have. It's super soft and warm, and I had zero issues washing it on the delicate cycle and drying it on the easy-care setting. Also, the packaging was really nice!" — Matt
21. A tea bag organizer with the capacity to hold 80 tea bags so you can find the tea bag you're looking for *and* keep track so you can know when you're out of peppermint.
Target
Promising review:"Love the organization and compact size. It fits nicely on my counter for easy tea selection! I will drink more tea now!" — JniBS
Price: $15.99
22. A heart-shaped mug because sometimes love is just a nice hot cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Target
Promising review:"I got this mug because the shape is so comfortable. It reminds me of the 'hug mugs' from the Max Brenner restaurant. Perfect for hot chocolate or coffee.☕️ 💗" — KiKi
Price: $5
23. An electric popcorn popper for a quick and fun snack. Once the popcorn is popped, it's up to you to decide how you're going to eat it today. A little butter? Chocolate drizzle?
Target
Promising review:"Snack time with a healthy twist! Air-popped popcorn is the healthiest way to eat popcorn. This gadget makes the magic happen. It is easy to use and easy to clean, with clear instructions and a measuring cup that also fits on the popper to melt butter, if desired. Plus the reasonable low price, a big Wow!" — Babar
Price: $19.99 (originally $21.99)
24. A mushroom stool to quite literally, kick your feet up if you're staying cozy on your favorite armchair or couch.

'The Last of Us' co-creator reacts to fans angry over Pedro Pascal's shocking exit: 'He's in literally everything else'
Pedro Pascal may have been brutally dispatched from The Last of Us, but at least he's, in the words of series co-creator Craig Mazin, "in literally everything else." "He did a thing. Everyone lost their s---, and then I had to do that same thing, because he did the thing, I loved doing the thing, I thought it was great," Mazin told Variety during Thursday's "A Night in the Writers' Room" event in Los Angeles. Though Mazin and co-creator Neil Druckmann were simply following the story set forth in the video game The Last of Us is based on, fans were still shocked by the death of Pascal's series lead Joel in the second episode of the second season. That shock has transformed for some into anger, which has given voice to ample criticism. "The big complaint that I've gotten is, 'Why did you kill Pedro Pascal?' And I keep explaining, we didn't kill him! He's a man, he's alive. He's fine. And he's in literally everything else. So I don't know what the problem is!" Mazin joked. Fans aren't the only ones still reeling from having to watch Joel die at the hands of Kaitlyn Dever's Abby. Pascal himself told Entertainment Weekly in April that he's in "active denial" about his own character's fate. "I realize this more and more as I get older, I find myself slipping into denial that anything is over. I know that I'm forever bonded to so many members of the experience and just have to see them under different circumstances, but never will under the circumstances of playing Joel on The Last of Us," Pascal said. "And, no, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it because it makes me sad." The Chile-born actor's sister, Lux, also said in May that she "wanted to throw the iPad" when she got to the scene depicting Joel's death. Lux joked that it's "not the first time he's done it to me, it's not the second time he's done it to me. I think it's the fourth time he's done it to me. Because how many deaths has he had? Game of Thrones, Equalizer 2, The Last of Us — each is more violent than the other.... Seeing my brother die that way, I didn't like it at all." Some of the "everything else" Mazin referred to include Ari Aster's film Eddington (releasing July 18), which Pascal was recently seen in Cannes promoting at the seaside town's illustrious annual film festival. He can be seen Friday in theaters in Celine Song's Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans rom-com Materialists, and he also stars as Reed Richards in July 23 Marvel release The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a character he'll reprise for Avengers: Doomsday.

25 Disney And Universal Theme Park Essentials
Hey guys! I'm Samar Hadri, a BuzzFeed shopping writer and Orlando, Florida native 🍊. I've been a Disney World *and* Universal Studios Annual Passholder for well over a decade (I may or may not have even gotten married at Disney 😅), so yeah, I'm something of a theme park expert. These are the products that I've tried and can recommend firsthand to make sure your amusement park experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. With these products, you can feel prepared for almost any situation that pops up during a full day of trudging through the parks. First things first, a mid-size sling backpack to carry all of your essentials, while being small enough to fit in the pouch of whichever rides you love the most. With several compartments inside the bag, as well as a front pouch on the strap, you can keep everything incredibly organized to cut down on the time it takes for you to dig for your phone for spontaneous photos or sunscreen for your two-hour reapplications. Plus, it even has mesh pockets for your water bottle and umbrella! A reusable rain poncho for the buckets of water that can suddenly, without warning, drop from the Florida skies. With a long body piece and a big hooded cap, this poncho will keep you dry head to toe. It also comes with a matching carrying case so you don't have to worry about lugging a drenched poncho around the park after your excursion down a "waterfall" at Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom. A four-pack of cooling towels because that Florida sun can be brutal. Just soak it in some cold water at any sink/water fountain, wring it, and place it on your neck for some much-needed relief! These towels will stay chilly for several hours, saving you from having to refresh in every country you pass through in Epcot. Bonus: each towel comes with a carrying pouch and a carabiner clip, so you can just clip it onto your backpack for easy access! A Disney ear holder that clips onto your backpack for the times when your head is tired of propping up those famous Mickey ears (or new Universal headbands!), but you still want them on public display. With the ability to hold up to two ears, this strap is great for parents when your little ones might be over wearing the ears, and you don't want them to take up any space in your bag. A trendy pair of polarized sunglasses to block out the sun's rays while you're enjoying the weather. No need to fear losing these bad boys while aboard Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure at Universal; these polarized glasses (while cute) are extremely affordable, so you can even keep a backup pair on hand in case Fluffy happens to board your ride and run away with your original pair! A handheld fan that will bring some much-needed cooling relief as you trek your way through your favorite rides. Small and compact, with two different speed functions, this fan is a necessity, especially during the height of summer. No need to let the humidity ruin your day, this FAN-tastic device will ensure your vacation remains as cool as can be. (Plus: the fan also works as a backup portable charger!) And a stroller fan so that your little one stays cool in the heat as well! The fan's head can adjust vertically and horizontally in any direction to create the perfect cooling breeze, while also having three speeds so you can ensure your baby is the perfect temperature. Now, the fear of your child overheating can disappear as swiftly as Peter Pan at the sight of an adult! A four-pack of reusable straws because absolutely nobody enjoys the taste of the soggy paper straws that grace every Disney concession stand and restaurant. This straw is collapsible and fits into a small carrying case, which can also be clipped onto your backpack, making it incredibly convenient to carry without feeling like it's taking up some much-needed space. Absolutely perfect for that midday Pandoran Sunrise you'll be happy to sample at Animal Kingdom. A Body Glide anti-chafe balm you'll want to apply liberally before starting your day at Universal City Walk. The last thing you want during your vacation is any pain halting your ability to walk freely through the parks. With this balm, say goodbye to chafing troubles and say hello to magical relief! And an anti-blister foot balm to ease the pain of walking over 10 miles through four different parks, all in a single day. This will add a layer of protection between you and your shoes so you can skip through Diagon Alley with ZERO pain! Vanish the potential of blisters with this balm — even Hermione herself would be jealous of how magical this product seems! A two-pack of reusable snack bags because sometimes hunger pangs hit right in the middle of a line, when exiting to purchase a bite to eat is pretty much impossible. These bags come with a zippered closure and are made from waterproof fabric, so no need to fear the splatters from Tiana's Bayou Adventure tainting your go-to snack. A foldable water bottle that will take up little space and be the hydrating savior of your park day. Buying several bottles of water while inside the park will get expensive FAST, so having a refillable bottle on hand is key, especially when they can roll into a small size so that they don't take up too much room. A much-needed addition to your park essentials when you find yourself incredibly thirsty while waiting to meet Toothless. A 10-pack of mosquito-repellent bracelets you will be incredibly grateful you packed when love-bug season hits Florida. Powered by essential oils such as citronella, these bands can help repel the pests without the need to douse yourself in bug spray several times a day. No mosquito will dare approach you as you embark on your theme park adventures; these bracelets will help keep the creepy-crawlies far, far away! A tube of Neutrogena Ultrasheer SPF 70 sunscreen to protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun. This lightweight formula helps prevent sunburn without the heavy finish and is conveniently travel-sized, making it the perfect addition to your pre-Disney routine. With this lotion, the only sun you need to fear is the one that comes barreling toward you on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. A pack of compression socks that can help your circulation, foot swelling, and pain, and make it easier for you to hike across the Magic Kingdom parking lot. You can say goodbye to the days of leg swelling and hello to *sweet* relief as you march countless miles each day of your trip. Don't let the potential pain stop you from having the time of your life at the Happiest Place on Earth! A Color Wow Dreamcoat anti-frizz hairspray to maintain those picture-perfect locks, despite the heat! This spray repels moisture to stop humidity from impacting your hair, leaving your hair feeling smooth and silky. Just spray it liberally on damp, towel-dried hair, then blow dry for the finishing touch. With this spray, your blowout will stay as perfect as Princess Belle herself! A Burt's Bees after-sun lotion perfect for bringing some relief to any sunburns that may occur while you're skipping across Tomorrow Land. With aloe and coconut oil, this skin lotion can soothe and bring hydrating relief to your sun-kissed skin. An Anker portable charger because you will be constantly using your phone to check the wait times, plan ahead with your Genie+, or just playing Charades with your family (or random strangers) while stuck in a line. Don't let its slim exterior fool you; this device is one of the highest reviewed power banks on Amazon for a reason. It can charge a smartphone up to three times while still being light enough to comfortably carry around Hollywood Studios as you search for hidden Mickeys! A pill organizer to keep all of your meds on hand so that you're not trying to dig through your bag for different bottles. With eight multi-size compartments, this carrier can safely store any size pill or vitamin you need. Small enough to fit in your pocket, this organizer will be your saving grace as you attempt to squeeze in just one more plushy from the Emporium into your bag. A travel umbrella designed to block out both the constant Florida showers and the overbearing midday sun. This is a heavy-duty umbrella has eight sturdy fiberglass ribs, making it incredibly wind-resistant, while still being able to fold into a small size. Don't miss your chance to join the line for Pandora's Flight of Passage just because of a little rain, this umbrella will help you make the most of your day no matter the weather! A set of travel perfume carriers that can hold all of your favorite eau de parfums as you make your way around The Isle of Berk. After sweating under the sun for a whole day, you will be happy you packed these sprays so that you can refresh yourself at your convenience. A Miss Mouth's stain remover spray to help wipe away the Mickey Ice Cream Bar residue from your little one's shorts. Designed to remove even the toughest of stains, this spray is a necessity when wrangling your family through the parks while attempting to keep their clothes Instagram-worthy. A three-pack of Disney-inspired lanyards so your family can keep their key cards strapped close to them at all times. With pouches to hold any additional cards or cash, these are great for anyone trying to waltz around Disney without the feeling of being weighed down by a wallet. Perhaps one of the most important items on this list, these ID holders are necessary for those who tend to misplace things more often than not. A pair of aqua socks to protect your feet and save you from any pool slipping incidents while at Typhoon Lagoon or Volcano Bay. Super lightweight and flexible, these socks are perfect for your water excursions during your ultimate Disney vacation! A hand sanitizer holder because you should always have one on hand when you're in a place as crowded as Disney or Universal. Hook these cute keychains to your backpack and don't fear losing them on the monorail, your favorite scented sanitizer is always close by! Ta-da! I declare you ready for your theme park adventure!
