Now you can clean and leave behind a luxurious scent that'll have guests looking at your home in a new light. Was it always so chic in here? A double-patterned cardigan that lets you rock two looks at once! It's a great option for people who love animal print but refuse to pick what kind. It's not every day you see a sweater this out-of-the-box, so don't be surprised if you're voted "most likely to grace the cover of Vogue" by your coworkers. A can of whipped crea— I mean, sunscreen that just looks like dessert, so don't eat it, OK? This tasty-looking skincare will make you feel like a cherry pie instead of looking like one (baked to a crisp). A miniature Otamatone keychain for playing little ditties on the go. I can't tell you how many times I've been on a date and wished I had my little music note instrument so I could serenade them.

A capybara mug — complete with a lil' orange hat! — to hold your morning tea or coffee. Who else could boast having such a unique coffee cup?

Surely everyone wants a fridge that looks like it belongs to Miss Piggy? A customizable cookie stamp you can fit with any letters you'd like to spell out special messages. This is ideal for turning heads at birthdays and themed parties, but I'm also envisioning passive-aggressive baked goods. A pack of hair tinsel so you can fairy out with cute sparkles that add some dimension and otherworldly flair to your normally mundane 'do. Use single strands for a magical "just walked out of the lake to give King Arthur a sword" look or larger bunches for a Camp Rock vibe. A set of glittery butterfly hair clips that are certainly an upgrade to the ones we all wore in the '90s. Deck out your hair and strut like the forest nymph you are. And a mini scrunchie made to be worn without double-tying so it looks like a butterfly. If this doesn't earn you 1,000 compliments, nothing will. Twist Imagine No. 78, a fragrance inspired by Killian's Love, Don't Be Shy. If you're not familiar, it's Rihanna's signature scent and the reason why people say the singer smells like "heaven."

Your guests are gonna come in and be like, "why does your home smell like tennis?!" Cropped pants with trendy wide stripes that look a lot like a way more expensive pair I've been eyeing for so long, they sold out. Luckily, reviewers confirm these look amazing, fit comfortably, and have just the right amount of stretch. A ~cat-a-pult~ so you can pelt your desk neighbor when they start chewing too loudly. Take that, Pete from accounting! He won't bring tuna fish again after seeing what you have in arsenal. A set of pearlescent gel polishes to help you enter your mermaid era. The shimmery colors are showstoppers on their own, but some talented reviewers added bubbles and designs on top for an extra wow factor. A mini tiki bar you can set up in half an hour, meaning you can be slinging jungle birds and blue Hawaiians that same day. The waterproof furniture set comes with four chairs and plenty of storage for booze or juice. Is your backyard the new Margaritaville? Time to break out the blender and find out.

Groom Spends 8 Years Secretly Writing Down Quotes From Fiancee, It Pays Off
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recent wedding ceremony has become a global sensation, thanks to a groom's extraordinary wedding vows. A TikTok video by the groom, Adam Arnaout, revealing the vows has gone viral with more than 1.4 million likes. In it, he shares his meticulously crafted speech from eight years of secret note-taking. Arnaout, 30, told Newsweek about the quotes he collected from his now-wife over the years and how he leveraged them in the ceremony. "I spent eight years writing down quotes from my fiancee for our vows. It paid off," he captioned the video. He began by revealing the incredible length of his dedication: "For the last, and this is real, I counted, 2,857 days, I've kept a running list of your most unintentionally hilarious quotes in something that I call 'the notes.'" Photos from Adam Arnaout's TikTok video of his wedding vows. Photos from Adam Arnaout's TikTok video of his wedding vows. @ What followed was a cascade of his fiancee's amusing observations, delivered with perfect comedic timing. "I once told you I love you, and you said, 'I love chicken nuggets,'" Arnaout said. Even everyday moments provided comedic gold for the groom's secret list. He remembered her saying, "'I'm a cinematographer' while eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.'" Arnaout said that he started "the notes" soon into their relationship. "I began 'the notes' less than a month after we started dating back in 2017," he told Newsweek. "Since that first day, I have added hundreds more." Arnaout's inspiration was simple: "[It] came from an overwhelming desire to preserve the hilarious things that Sid had said to me," he said, adding that laughter is fundamental to their bond. "She and I are both extremely goofy and silly people, so having a ton of laughs is a foundational part of our relationship," Arnaout said. "I thought, 'Wow, this woman is hilarious, I am going to want to remember these one-liners,' and thus, the notes were born." Arnaout has continued adding to it, with hundreds of entries, and is now sharing them on his TikTok. His wife's reaction to the surprise during the vows was one of pure delight. "I think Sid was flooded with joy and happiness when I began reading … as it showed how much I cherish her humor and enjoy all the silly things she has said over the course of our relationship," Arnaout said. He added that this unique tradition perfectly encapsulates their relationship. "The tradition of documenting her sayings in 'the notes' is a great representation of who we are as a couple and illustrates what has allowed us to have such a successful relationship," Arnaout said. "Tough times and situations are inevitable in life, but Sid and I know that we are lucky enough to be with a partner who will continue to make us laugh and exude positive energy, no matter what. Signing up for a lifetime of laughter and joking around was the easiest decision that I have ever made."

Cinnamon Toast Crunch launches new flavor and it will be divisive
Longtime Cinnamon Toast Crunch fans are divided by the brand's new cereal flavor - bacon. The General Mills brand collaborated with Hormel Black Label bacon on cereal that dropped on Walmart's website on Tuesday starting at $5.84 per box. But some loyal fans have shown no interest in purchasing the limited-time cereal and are questioning why the 'disgusting' product exists. 'I don't think I could do this one,' a fan admitted on an Instagram post. 'They doing too much ewww not spending a penny on this,' another person commented on a video. A few social media users admitted they tried the cereal and it did not meet their expectations. 'That bacon burned absolutely horribly because it's literally covered in sugar,' a commenter wrote. Other fans were furious - not because of the cereal brand's newest product - but because it was sold out, making them claim 'influencers got their hands on them' early. General Mills was inspired to collaborate with Hormel Foods after the company received positive reviews for its limited-time Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored bacon last year. Both companies had the same goal with this cereal: Rewrite the rules of breakfast. 'Bringing these two iconic breakfast staples and irresistible flavors together gives our fans even more reason why they Must Cinnadust,' said Brandon Tyrrell, senior marketing manager at General Mills. 'After seeing the fan response to last year's collaboration, we knew we had to bring these two breakfast icons back together,' said Aly Sill, senior brand manager at Hormel Foods. 'We're shaking up the way bacon fits into daily routines, and we can't wait for consumers to experience it.' While the hate was intense on social media, several commenters also enjoyed it, and food blogger Snackolator enjoyed its subtle flavor and 'super smoky' smell. 'Wow these are so delicious I bet my kids would be all over it,' an Instagram user wrote. 'I'm not sure! But I'll always try one thing once!,' another fan responded. General Mills is famous for its unexpected collaborations General Mills has a history of surprising fans with unexpected collaborations. Social media users had mixed opinions after Jason and Travis Kelce teamed up with the company to release a new limited-time cereal. The cereal, a combination of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms and Reese's Puffs, was described as a 'crime against nature' by one X user. Not only is the company known for its unique partnerships, but it also made headlines for quietly discontinuing Cheerios products. General Mills did not explain the discontinuation but told ABC News that it could be for reasons 'ranging from insufficient consumer demand to ingredients no longer available or other supply chain constraints.'

Boston's best cheap eats: 19 places to grab a bite for $20 or less
.bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Bova's Bova's Erin Clark/Globe staff/File This iconic 24-hour bakery has no end of Italian sweets, but don't sleep on the savory offerings, including thick Sicilian slices and arancini, gooey in the center and the size of a fist. But the real stars are the half-calzones, $12 (if you order in person) but hefty, stuffed with chicken parmesan; sausage, pepper, and onion; spinach and cheese; and more, all enveloped in a golden, glistening crust. One makes two meals, at least. Address: 134 Salem Street, North End Phone: 617-523-5601 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Buenas Empanadas at Buenas Adam DeTour for The Boston Globe. Food styling by Sheila Jarnes. Argentinian-American owner Melissa Stefanini — a transplant from Los Angeles, like her Buenas partner Sebastian Galvez — started selling empanadas because she couldn't find authentic ones close to home. Purists will be happy with her classic ground-beef-and-onion version, but creativity, and affordability, is what makes Buenas shine: trios of moon-shaped dough — stuffed with everything from saucy Frito pie bursting with enchilada sauce, to chicken and waffles, and even Cinnamon Toast Crunch — can be had for about $13, and make the ideal lunchtime sampler. Address: 1 Bow Market Way, Unit 14, Somerville Phone: Not available Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Dolma Mediterranean Cuisine Dolma Mediterranean Cuisine Shakshuka, red lentil soup, dolma (stuffed peppers), and other specialties are on the menu at this Turkish restaurant in Brookline. Yesim Otsuz, from Antalya, Turkey, along the Mediterranean coast, cooks the food of her homeland for guests, who can sit at tables inside or out. Address: 5 Kendall Street, Brookline Phone: 617-487-5852 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Dumpling House Dumpling House Come with a small and hungry group and be prepared to share. The staff are efficient and professional, buzzing through this perennially busy Cambridge staple with plates of piping hot fresh dumplings. It would take months to move through Dumpling House's entire menu. But to start, order up braised eggplant, steamed soup dumplings, and Szechuan dried crispy spicy chicken. Address: 950 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge Phone: 617-661-8066 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } El Peñol Restaurante El Peñol Restaurante Lane Turner/Globe staff/File Almost nothing is over $20 at this trio of Colombian restaurants in East Boston, Brookline, and Revere. The dishes range from crisp, compact beef empanadas (a savory steal at $1.50), to cornmeal-crusted stewed chicken turnovers ($3.50), to thinly pounded fried chicken drenched in a velvety mushroom cream sauce, enough for three people at just $17. It's friendly and family-run; Marina Balvin opened the first restaurant in 1998, and her family still oversees the kitchens. The staff hasn't changed much, and neither have the prices. Address: 54 Bennington Street, East Boston Phone: 617-569-0100 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Evergreen Eatery + Café Evergreen Eatery + Café We have mixed feelings about letting this secret out, but here goes: Evergreen, right off the Orange Line's Green Street Station, is a delicious and affordable spot with something to delight everyone. The egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin comes in under $5 — and is exponentially better than the similar offering at a certain ubiquitous local chain. A weekend splurge is the Golden Avocado Toast, with hard-boiled eggs and balsamic glaze, at about $13. There's ample seating, including a biergarten-style patio that fits couples, friends, families, and groups. It's the perfect spot for Jamaica Plain's eclectic mix of residents — or a quick to-go bite on your way downtown.

Lane Turner/Globe staff/File In a lunchtime landscape of assembly-line bowls, Flavor Boom! breaks the mold with tall cartons of rice, vegetables, and meats from around the world — Indonesian-inflected, milky beef rendang; Thai-inspired shrimp curry; a garlicky Moroccan blend of stewed eggplant and chickpeas. Founder Jim (Jun) Tao is a compulsive traveler; he's been around the globe and longed to recreate the healthy, cheap fast food he devoured on his trips. These one-tub meals are about $11: cheaper than a plane ticket (and most sandwiches), and a transportive midday pick-me-up. In addition to a downtown location, find outposts in Jamaica Plain, Kendall Square, and Watertown.

Food styling by Sheila Jarnes. Gene Wu's hand-pulled noodles had already won a following when he opened this, his second restaurant, in 2013. (He now has branches in Woburn and Westford as well.) They are magnificent: thick, chewy, rustic, and topped with chili oil, cilantro, and drifts of raw garlic or cumin-laced lamb. You can also get them in steamy soups. The Downtown Crossing restaurant serves flatbread sandwiches (hence its name) for around $6, plus spicy lamb skewers, and other specialties from Wu's native Xi'an.

Fast and affordable, the sandwiches feature tender meat, crispy fries, and delicious sauces — tzatziki with pork and mustard sauce with chicken. Other classics such as the Greek salad, the souvlaki, and the spanakopita are also hits, or venture deeper into the menu for under-the-radar gems like the kolokithokeftedes (zucchini fritters) or gemista (stuffed pepper and tomato). Address: 183 Chestnut Hill Avenue, Brighton Phone: 617-903-4248 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Hemlock Grill Hemlock Grill Barry Chin/Globe staff/File You don't have to play (or even like) golf to go wild over Alex Sáenz's restaurant inside the Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course, which is open to the public. A 1930s clubhouse with wood paneling is the setting, though you can sit outside overlooking the links. The chef is known for his fried chicken sandwich ($13), fish and chips ($16), pulled pork ($12), and more — all at prices you don't usually associate with food at the 19th hole. Address: 1281 West Roxbury Parkway, Chestnut Hill Phone: 617-879-5687 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Hot Box A pretension-free ode to an only-in-Massachusetts rivalry: South Shore bar pizza versus North Shore roast beef. Bar pizza is the burnt-edges exemplar of the form, coated to the edges with burbling mozzarella and cheddar; the roast beef here is best savored 'Arbeez' style, piled onto a griddled roll and folded into puddles of American cheese sauce. Take either to go from Bow Market for under $15. Address: 1 Bow Market Way, Unit 6, Somerville Phone: 617-284-9600 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Life Alive Organic Cafe Life Alive Organic Cafe Herbaceous, umami-packed ingredients tie together the grain bowls, wraps, and noodle soups that have made this local vegetarian chain a staple for the health-conscious. Finish your meal with a fruit smoothie or cold pressed juice; it's affordable fast-casual fare at its most nourishing. There are locations around the Boston area, as well as more in Dedham, Lowell, and Salem.

Food styling by Sheila Jarnes. Maurice and Marion Hill (they're the M&Ms) started the family barbecue business in 1982, but their grandson Geo Lambert took over and took it to new heights with his food truck, catering business, and, since 2020, his restaurant inside Dorchester Brewing Co. The ribs, brisket, and pulled pork are justifiably famous – and make their way into towering sandwiches like the Geneva Ave (brisket, pickled onions, smoked cheese sauce) and Columbia Rd (pulled pork, crushed red peppers, pickled red cabbage). But don't ignore the mac and cheese, barbecue baked beans, and other sides. Salads and a plant-based chicken sandwich are on the menu, too.

Mi Pueblito's Mexican food, such as the chiles rellenos and fajitas, is sublime, as are Guatemalan and Salvadoran dishes including a cheese and loroco pupusa that has an intoxicating aroma from its edible flowers. There's also a wide range of breakfast dishes at each of the restaurant's two locations. Address: 333 Border Street, East Boston, and other location Phone: 617-569-3787 Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Pho Viet's Pho Viet's Josh Reynolds for the Boston Globe/File Originally located at Super 88 food court near Boston University, Pho Viet's settled into a nearby storefront several years ago (and there's a second location in Newton Centre). But it's still run by the Tran family, and counter service is just as fast. The Vietnamese menu is interlaced with some Chinese and Thai ideas. When it's hot out, go for cooling fresh spring rolls, rice vermicelli bowls, and a plump bánh mì.

We've got you covered here in Coolidge Corner. The restaurant's name, Pure Cold Press, suggests a trendy juice bar, but it's much more than that. Owner Haim Cohen's all-Kosher menu includes shakshuka, a spicy Asian quinoa wrap, and a burrito with vegan Impossible meat. Grab take-out or, in a room filled with local artwork and colorful plants, share smoothies with a friend or feed the family.

The space — much like its other location in Roslindale — has an intimate old-world feel, making for a great date-night experience where diners can choose from outstanding takes on aromatic biryani, red-hot vindaloo, and smoky tandoori chicken, in what could be one of the quietest restaurant spaces in all of Boston.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch introduces a wild new flavor
As people push toward healthier breakfast options, you might think indulging in sugar-laden cereals is increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Don't underestimate the power of nostalgia, however - more of us miss the irresistible combo of cereal and Saturday morning cartoons than you might think. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The global breakfast cereal market is not only doing just fine, but it's predicted to grow impressively in the next decade. It held a $65.25 billion market value in 2024, and it's projected to hit $95.32 billion by 2032, per Market Research Intellect.

It's why you're seeing a lot of brands advertising protein, as more health-conscious customers are seeking it. High-fiber and low-sugar cereals are also gaining popularity. Cereal makers have begun to pivot further into those spaces as well, and it's working to get consumers to buy more of it. But what do you do when your customer still isn't intrigued, despite all the promises to make their cereal experience healthier? You pull out a trick the fast-food industry knows all too well: make it weird. In 2024, General Mills pulled out a fairly unexpected collaboration with Hormel. That collab was called Hormel Black Label Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored thick cut bacon. While it sounds like a heart attack in a pan, this bacon was clearly popular with consumers, as a year later, it's still for sale in select stores. Apparently some people love that candied bacon vibe (and it is delicious, so we can't blame them). Based on the success of that product, now the two companies are collaborating again for a new item: Black Label Hormel-flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

The new limited-edition cereal is exclusive to Walmart, goes on sale July 8, and will retail for $5.84 a box. General Mills did not specify how long it will be for sale. The brand also posted a video on Instagram to promote the new cereal, showing a woman eating it out of a bowl made of bacon. This is not the first time Cinnamon Toast Crunch has collaborated with another brand that seems unexpected. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Totino's Pizza flavor made its debut in January as a Super Bowl promotional item, served in packaging inspired by a pizza delivery box. However, it wasn't designed for grocery store shelves. Instead, General Mills limited it to a free giveaway on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shop. You can now find these sitting on eBay, with some priced as high as $100. Significantly less weird but also new to the Cinnamon Toast Brunch brand family is a tres leches flavor, which is based on the classic Latin American dessert of the same name. So if you aren't into the idea of bacon-flavored breakfast cereal, you can always fall back on something that pairs a little better with milk.
