The FrogLog Saves Wildlife from Swimming Pools

It’s not something we think about, but our pools can be a real danger to wildlife. The $30 FrogLog aims to help with this problem. It’s an inflatable escape ramp that attaches to the side of a swimming pool so that small animals that find their way into in the pool can get back out and not die.


If you own a pool, the FrogLog is a good idea – if you care about wildlife that is. If you don’t than you are a big meanie. Even the meanest of you would still get sick of fishing dead frogs and lizards out of your pool, I imagine.

So get a FrogLog. It Just sounds cool on your tongue. FrogLog… FrogLog… Now it has loss meaning. FrogLog. Nope, still sounds awesome.

14 Ridiculously Awesome Pool Floats You Want to Get This Summer

Summer is in full swing, and that means it’s hot outside! With those 100 degree days upon us, it’s time to hit the pool! And what’s better than relaxing poolside? Relaxing inside the pool! On a float of course. I love pool floats; they’re comfy, fun, and perfect for sunbathing on.

I’m so excited for all the summer fun that pool floats provide and I’ve made a list of my favorite 14 pool floats that you should try out this summer! If you can’t find one you love here, remember there’s lots more out there to look at! You can find pool floats anywhere and everywhere during the summer!

Watermelon Pool Float


Fruity and fun, this round pool float is a summer treat. Make sure you’re sipping on a watermelon smoothie or munching on a watermelon slice while you sit in the sun in the pool while lounging on your pool float.

Unicorn Pool Float


This float is absolutely fabulous! It’s really hard to pick an absolute favorite on this list, but if I had to pick one, it might just be this unicorn. It’s perfect for kids with an active imagination and those of you adults who just want some fab fun in your summer.

Tiger Pool Float


Another animal float, this time better suited for those with more adventurous sides. It’s cute, wild, and perfect for floating down the lazy river at the water park. Pretend you’re in the jungle, surrounded by real tigers. (Unless you’re scared of real tigers, maybe it’s better to just keep thinking of it as a lazy river.)

Pretzel Pool Float


Yum, another food float! I know I get hungry when spending an afternoon at the pool. Perhaps a good, salty, savory pretzel is in order? Someone go get me pretzel bites, those things are delicious. Ever go to the mall and get a cup of those? Sorry, I’m getting off-topic. This pool float is twisty fun.

Popsicle Pool Float


What’s better than floating in the pool? Floating in the pool while snacking on a popsicle! For the really burning hot days, popsicles are a perfect treat. Jump off your popsicle pool float and get into the water to cool off if you’re still hot. Or dump a box of popsicles on your head. That should do the trick.

Pizza Pool Float


Who doesn’t love a nice slice of pizza? It’s hot, greasy, and melts in your mouth. All that delectable cheese, pepperoni, sausage, sauce, yum yum. I’m not so sure I’d want to eat a slice of pizza in the pool, but maybe this pizza pool float will suffice.

Pineapple Pool Float


Raise your hand if you like pineapples! Sorry, my hand’s not raised. I don’t really understand the appeal of this yellow fruit, and I definitely don’t understand the people who put it on pizza, but I’m a huge fan of this pool float. It’s absolutely adorable!

Pegasus Pool Float


Pegasus vs unicorn, they’re both fictional, mythical creatures. They’re both majestic and I wish they were real, but which one is better? Well, the pegasus can fly, so it’s obviously better, right? Whatever your choice is, you have to admit that this pool float is amazing. It will automatically transport you to a fictional land.

Giraffe Pool Float


I can’t wait to jump in the pool and wrap my arms around this giraffe. It’s so lovable looking, like it just needs a great big hug. Take this lovable giraffe to the watering hole in the Savannah (or your local city pool.)

Flamingo Pool Float


This one is a classic. I see flamingo pool floats everywhere, and for good reason! They’re bright, pink, eye-catching, and they’re sure to be the talk of the pool. Your neighbors will be envious when they see you on this flamingo pool float. While you’re at it, get some flamingo lawn ornaments. Those are still popular, right?

Donut Pool Float


Mmm, there’s so much good food on this list. I mean…good pool floats. Who can resist this donut? It’s too eatable looking to be a pool float right? I’m going to go grab a donut and I’ll be right back. Someone finish inflating this float for me.

Cactus Pool Float


Be careful, you don’t want to get poked. Oh wait, it’s just a cactus pool float! Keep it away from a real cactus though, or you might be in for some trouble. Keep some duct tape on hand, you know, just in case…you don’t want to get into a prickly situation.

Banana Pool Float


Bananas are by far my favorite fruit. They’re so sweet, and as far as food aesthetics go, I think they’re pretty good-looking. Until they get too spotty though, and by the time they’re brown, it’s time for banana bread! Anyway, since I’m on the subject of bananas, take a look at this banana pool float. It’s banana slammin’ goodness.

Avocado Pool Float


Avocados are one of the healthiest foods on the planets, and unlike some other healthy foods, they actually taste great! Put them on sandwiches, burgers, salads, toast, even eat them all alone! They’re that good! And while you’re at it, eat an avocado while lounging in the sun on this avocado pool float! Are you being extra healthy if you lounge on an avocado? Do you absorb the avocado’s powers? Just kidding.

Did you see a pool float that caught your eye? Yes? Well, what are you waiting for? Go out and grab that thing and get in the pool! Get off the couch and stop reading this! It’s time to go outside, summer is calling! I hope you have a wonderful summer and lots of fun at the pool on your brand new awesome pool float.

Zoku Space Pop Molds with Rockets and Astronaut,6 pops

Ground control to Major Tom. These ice pop molds have a space theme which makes them pretty stellar. I love that there are a variety of shapes in this pack, so everyone will find their favorite.

Tovolo Rocket Pop Mold, Orange – Set of 6


Rockets! That’s rockin’ am I right? Besides the awesome shape, I just love the color of these molds. That bright orange really pops, perfect for an ice pop, and they probably won’t get lost in your kitchen.

Tovolo Robot Pop Molds – Set of 4


We’ve seen a couple of space themes, now how about a robot theme? I can imagine these molds would be a huge hit at a child’s birthday party. (Or an adult’s, who am I to judge?)

Star Wars Lightsaber Ice Pop Maker by ThinkGeek


My favorite on this list, not only because I’m a big Star Wars fan, but because of the lightsaber handles. When you actually make the ice pop, you end up with an edible lightsaber! If that’s not the coolest thing ever, I don’t know what is. Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan, you’ve got to admit these ice pop molds are the best in the galaxy.

NUOP Swordsicles


Wow, so many creative ice pop molds. Why didn’t my mom have any of these when I was a kid? Anyway, these molds are shaped like swords! Perfect for a pirate party, probably not perfect for an elementary school party. (You know how schools are crazy about anything that even looks like a weapon.)

Mastrad A47221 Ice Pop Molds, White Base


Aww, these molds are adorable. I love the swirlyness. Is swirlyness a word? Swirliness? Whatever, these are just the cutest and I can’t get over it.

Lekue 4 Unit Stackable Ice Lollipop Mold


So these might be the most ordinary ice pop molds on the list, but that doesn’t mean they’re not just as fun! They’re stackable, which is a great space saver for all of you who like to hoard kitchen supplies. Believe me, if I was rich, my kitchen would be filled to the brim with stuff. I’d probably have a collection of owl salt shakers or something.

Popsicle Molds Set –  6 Ice Pop Makers by Lebice


These ice pop molds remind me of watermelon, which is probably the point. They’re darling and definitely put me in a summer mood. Anyone up for a watermelon flavored ice pop?

Guitar Ice Cream Popiscle


These molds are rocking and rolling. For the rock star within you, these would be great for a party or an outdoor summer concert. I’d love to lay out a picnic blanket and listen to some great music while eating some great guitar-shaped ice pops.

Cuisipro Sailboat Pop Mold – 837440 by Cuisipro


I’ll admit, I’ve never been on a sailboat. They look kind of boring, since they’re pretty slow. I’m more of a speed boat kind of girl, but sail boats are far cuter than speed boats. And I imagine there’s something calm and relaxing about sitting on a sail boat while a cool breeze dances around you… Ah, I’m falling asleep now. Give me an ice pop to stay awake!

Did you find the ice pop mold of your dreams? I know I did! Star Wars ice pop mold, I’m coming for you! (And maybe the rest too.) I hope you eat lots of ice pops and have the best summer ever.

The Best Star Wars Swimwear

Everybody loves Star Wars! It’s one of the biggest franchises in history and of course it’s spawned all kinds of merchandise, from spin-off movies and TV shows, to countless toys and action figures, books, household items, and my favorite, clothing! There’s so much great Star Wars clothing out there and I’m here to share some of my favorite Star Wars swim suits!

I hope you love my picks, and always remember, there’s plenty more to look at!

Star War At-AT One Piece Swim Suit


This stylish one-piece is subtle and subdued, not overly flashy, but it’s understated appearance looks good at any pool or beach. The black At-At designs against the white backdrop make for a geeky yet still fashionable piece.

Star Wars BB-8 Boys Swim Trunks


The bright orange color is perfect for summer and it’s not too bright, as it contrasts with the dark blue background. BB-8 is a beloved, relative newcomer to the Star Wars series, at the cute little droid made his first appearance in Star Wars Episode 7. No wonder he’s already so popular, I mean, just look how adorable he is on these swim trunks!

Star Wars Ship Men’s Swim Trunks


I know these are the only swim trunks for adult men I’ve included, but they are the best I’ve found. The space ships are cool looking and any man wearing these will still feel fashionable without being too nerdy.

Star Wars C-3PO and R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


I love the print on this swimsuit! It looks like a scene straight out of the movies and it’s a beautiful image. Also, who can resist C-3PO and R2-D2? They are such a great duo!

Star Wars Logo Bikini


Okay, I know this is the only bikini on the entire list. I love bikinis, don’t get me wrong, but when looking for something to show off my love of Star Wars, most bikinis don’t have enough fabric to properly show off the love. (They’re better for showing off skin.) Anyway, I thought this bikini, with its simple Star Wars logo definitely shows off a proper amount of geekery.

Star Wars Stormtroopers Boys Swim Trunks


Blue is my favorite color, so of course I had to include these awesome swim trunks! The color is gorgeous and what little boy doesn’t want to wear a stormtrooper print? These trunks are seriously great!

Star Wars Retro Boys Swim Trunks


Technically, these trunks aren’t retro, but I’ve called them that as the design just looks so 70s inspired. It looks like a pair of swim trunks that a boy would be wearing at the pool right after watching the original Star Wars movie in 1977; just look at the images of Chewbacca and Darth Vader and the rest of the gang. I’m a huge fan of retro designs, so these swim trunks are a huge winner.

Star Wars R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


Can you say cute? I know R2-D2 seems to be on almost all Star Wars merch, but he’s just such a lovable character, not to mention how great he looks as a clothing design. I love this one-piece swim suit. It’s sexy and adorable at the same time.

Star Wars Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Toddler Swim Trunks


After so many boys swim trunks, it was about time to feature trunks meant for an even younger age. These cuties are for toddlers and your tiny tot will be sure to look like the coolest kid at the pool. Look at the cartoony versions of Darth and the stormtrooper, they just get my heart!

Star Wars Girls Tankini


After featuring so many women’s suits, it was time to show a girl’s swim suit. This tankini is adorable and will show off your future Princess Leia’s love of Star Wars. She will be the coolest princess on the sands of Tatooine.

Star Wars Darth Vader One Piece Swim Suit
This might be my favorite swim suit on the entire list. It’s definitely something I could see myself wearing. Darth Vader may be evil, but while wearing this suit, you’ll look evilly sexy.

Star Wars R2-D2 Long Sleeve Swim Suit

Long sleeve? Odd choice, you may be thinking, but if you’re planning to go surfing, this might be a good option. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more modest or something to help you cover up on an especially burning sunny day. Whatever the reason is, this swimsuit, once again featuring our friend R2-D2, is a great choice.

I hope you found something to wear for a great day at the beach or pool and to show off your love of the wonderful Star Wars!

Animatronic Shark Swims in a Hotel Pool

If you see this shark swimming in your hotel’s pool, you know it has to be fake, because how did it get there? But there’s still no way you are entering that pool. There’s just no damn way.

shark_animatronic_1zoom in


This amazing animatronic creation is the work of artists at VFXLAB special effects. They are the sick minds who put it in a hotel swimming pool to test it out. There’s actually a guy underneath controlling it. It is pretty impressive and real enough to give people a heart attack.

No way would I go for a swim in there, even knowing that this thing is fake. Because what if it isn’t? You just don’t take chances with sharks in a pool.

Emoji Billiard Balls: PoolMoji

What do you do when you and your co-workers get a new pool table at work? Naturally you decorate all of the balls with hand-painted emoji faces. Why not? It’s a pretty fun way to play a game of pool.

poolmoji_1zoom in


The game is now called “PoolMoji” and it looks like a lot of fun. When the balls are emotionally affected by the game, it makes for a LOL night of gaming. Who needs stripes and solids? Just make it happy emotions vs. sad emotions. You can paint up your billiard balls just like these and have yourself a unique game of pool. It will impress your friends, and maybe make them sad that they are treating these balls so badly.

Somebody needs to make this an actual product we can buy. I wish I had thought of this.

Inflatable Unicorn Pool Float for a Magical Day at the Pool

Depending on where you live, you might be wondering why I am already talking about pool toys. Well, I am talking about them because here in Texas, we’ve been done with winter for a while now. It was 90ºF this past Saturday, and pools were definitely open. That means it’s time to break out the pool toys or lake toys, if you can stomach swimming in water where fish and alligators poop. This oversized Unicorn Pool Float has enough room for more than one person, and looks good doing it.

unicorn-float-1zoom in

The other reason we might need one of these floats in Texas is that we are getting all the rain right now. ALL OF IT. This would be the perfect way to float your beer and Xbox out of harm’s way when your street floods, and flood it will. Not quite Noah’s Ark, this thing, but you could fit a couple Chihuahuas on it in a pinch.

Get your own for $99.99 over at Perpetual Kid and be the most magical person in the pool (or floating down your street).
