Family Summer Fun At Aquatica With AquaGlow

It is hot in Texas. Like triple digit hot some days. I feel like I have constant boob sweat. So everyone is always looking for ways to cool down. 

We have Aquatica nearby, which is a fantastic water park. But it can get horribly crowded during the day to the point where it can get unpleasant. To the point where I'll take the boob sweat over being around swarms of humans. 

Cue AquaGlow--it's an evening event at Aquatica that happens most nights until August 2nd from 8 PM-10. With an AquaGlow ticket, you can show up as early as 6. 

It is a separate ticket, but only limited amounts can be purchased, so AquaGlow will never be overly crowded. 

Natalie is a fan of the stingrays, so we had to go over and say hello when we first arrived:

The foam party was going strong. We danced to the catchy music as the foam floated around us:

The foam does keep coming:

As soon as the sun goes down, the vibe changes, and the neon lights glow. We had to visit the lazy river AKA Loggerhead Lane. 

All the thrill rides are open as well. The wait times are short, which is another benefit of AquaGlow. During the day Natalie has waited up to an hour to go down a slide. For AquaGlow she waited 5 minutes.

Yes, there is plenty of food and drinks for sale--they have fun glowing beverages! 

The wave pool is always a hit, but warning, those waves are no joke.

Natalie loved the waves. I stayed back because I was worried my phone would be knocked from my hands and it's already on its last leg. (It's a 12.)

We ended up having the best time. The hours flew by.

Accessorize Tumblers With Etch & Ember

I was sent a bag of accessories from Etch & Ember. The links are affiliate. My opinions are my own. 

I'm always a fan of small businesses. Etch & Ember is one of those--they sell accessories to decorate your fave tumbler. From charms to boots, there is something for everyone. I love how they have different styles depending on the holiday. And yes, you can purchase tumblers too! Plus, everything is affordable. Mostly everything I got was under $10. 

You might be like, "the heck is a tumbler boot though?" and it's this beautiful piece that goes at the bottom of the tumbler. It fits a variety of sizes. For example, here they are on my Stanleys:

And here they are on my Owalas. I picked out the peach coquette and Cinderella blue bling boots. 

And then I switched it over to my Gilmore Girls Luke's Tumbler:

So yes, they do fit in a variety of sizes. And there are so many different styles. Need one for 4th of July? Yup, Etch & Ember has them!

You'll also notice the charms dangling from the handle or straw. Etch & Ember has plenty of those as well. If you think of something, they probably have it over there for under $10. The perfect way to jazz up your fave tumbler and to ensure no one steals it. So many have the same ones and these will make it impossible to mix them up.

There are also straw covers. I had to get this Disney I Heart You one because we are huge Disney fans and return to Walt Disney World in July. It was only $3.99. 

If you cannot find those dang Labubus anywhere, well, Etch & Ember has you covered! They have Labubu charms in a bunch of different colors for only $5.99:

This rainbow charm is one of my faves. Perfect for the month of June or whenever. Rainbows always make me smile. And yes, there's the boot on my Elphaba Stanley. 

Most of the items are under $20 so you can decorate a tumbler on a budget. Use my code AIRINGMYLAUNDRY10 to save an extra 10%. (If you click any of the links in the post, it should automatically come off.) It's also free shipping on orders over $20. These would be fabulous inexpensive gifts for those who love their tumblers.

Fabulous & Affordable Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day is this weekend. If you're scrambling for a gift idea since men can be tricky to shop for, I have many ideas. These can work for dads or any other father figure in your life. 

It's not just women who should be concerned for their skin. Men need to take care of it as well. And there are some who do, as they should. It's not girly--it is well known that peptide serum has many benefits: increased elasticity & helping to fade fine lines and wrinkles. Entera has so many products that can help the skin--if this skincare isn't the right pick for your guy, they also have Grooming Bundles for beards and hair. Use code DAD20 to save 20%! 

Funko Pops are always a popular pick. Think of a fave movie or TV show and there will probably be a Funko of the character. If Friends is a comfort show, yes, they have a whole line. Here's Ross dressed as the Holiday Armadillo. It comes with a protector case to keep it safe--this is only $16. Get it here.

Men drink out of tumblers. Maybe not as often as women, but I have seen them being used by guys many times. Did you know you can add accessories to the tumbler? Over at Etch & Ember there is a whole Father's Day collection. I was a fan of this 4th of July charm. Use code AIRINGMYLAUNDRY10 to save 10%. 

If Dad wants quiet, pick up these noise canceling headphones from Belkin. They are wireless & fast charging and he can tune out the kids screaming. 

Stars Wars fan? If you're headed to Walt Disney World this summer, book Dad a reservation at Savi's Workshop. He'll be able to build his own lightsaber. It's a fabulous experience and memories will be made. 

Delicious food is always a win. We have a gelato spot nearby that makes spaghetti ice. It is absolutely delicious. If you guy has a sweet tooth & you have limited funds, take him out for ice cream. Local people, this is at Paciugo Gelato Caffe. You can check to see if there's a location near you!

Finally, thanks to TikTok, Fugglers are popular these days. Superman is coming out next month, so pick Dad up this Superman Fuggler. Yes, he even has a cape on! 

Remember, Father's Day is Sunday June 15th!
