Sunnylife Pineapple Ice Cube Tray ($17) Two pineapple-shaped silicone ice cube trays – and they produce little pineapples too!

The trays are dishwasher safe and from this summer’s subscription box favorite Sunnylife! See more of their products at Nordstrom.

Readers have alerted us to other molds available on ebay and Amazon – these molds are not silicone or dishwasher safe. If you want a soap mold, get the cheap rubber ones. If you want to use it on food, well, it’s up to you, but I thought it was worth mentioning (thank you readers!).

Update – the blue & green set is on sale at AE. Thanks Courtney!

POPSUGAR must have mini july 2016 sunnylifeI’m happy to have these and they’ll get used all the time in our cocktail making adventures! Perfect for July!

chocolate pineapples

As you probably know I have a mild (ok, extreme) pineapple obsession. See my gift ideas for pineapple lovers, my review of the pineapple tumblers from Pineapple & Co, and… I’ll stop here.

pineapple ice mold chocolate

We decided to make maraschino-filled chocolate pineapples! Tom filled the bottom of the molds for some of them with gold sugar. They turned out awesome (and delicious). They were super easy too and just required some dark baking chocolate, which we had on hand. Wouldn’t these be fun on top of a cake topped with foofy white frosting?

A few were swaths of grapefruit cross-hatched to look like pineapples (so they would melt into our drinks perfectly) and others had grapefruit curls!

They look fancy but they are so easy and take only a few minutes! pineapple ice cubes IMG_3301

What would you make into pineapple ice cubes?

POPSUGAR must have mini july 2016 sunblock

Let It Block SPF 30 (3 oz – $14.99) Sunscreen in a pouch is an excellent idea – it reduces waste as well as weight in your bag! This product was amazingly scentless – I’ve never smelled such a scent-free sunscreen before, and it’s a top pick just for that. I also absorbs quickly and almost felt like it had silicone in the formula, because it’s so smooth (it doesn’t).

Normally I would say I’d never pay that much for sunscreen… but I really love this sunscreen!

The sunscreen is packed with cranberry, grape seed, kiwi, strawberry, hemp and goji extracts for antioxidant power! It’s also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes and paraben-free.

I think this subscription is really improving. It’s not my favorite subscription box, but it’s had fun and interesting “anyone could use this” items. If you regularly need hostess gifts or need to send an inoffensive monthly gift, I think this is a good subscription for that purpose. The total value was about $32 this month.
