Changes at Disneyland, the New TWIX Doughnut at Krispy Kreme, and More

February 24, 2022

Tip of the Day

If you buy a lot of cooking oil at once, don’t keep the giant bottle near the heat of the stove. Instead, fill a smaller bottle to use in the kitchen and store the large bottle in a cool dry place.

Happy Thursday, LifeSavviers!

I’m pretty sure most of us would leap at the chance to get away and take a little vacay this year. If your summer travel plans involve a certain famous mouse, here’s what’s changed at Disneyland. Armed with these tips, your trip is sure to go a lot more smoothly.

While you’re there, no doubt, you’ll be snapping pics of your family, friends, and various princesses to share on the ‘Gram. But what if Darth Vader crashes your pic with Rey? No problem!

Armed with one of these free and easy-to-use photo-editing apps, you can quickly crop him out (or just erase him like Luke did the Death Star). Looking a little green in that shot you took after riding the spinning teacups? You can fix that, too, with just a few taps (and even apply a little blush or fake lashes).

Now, if spinning in circles crazy fast doesn’t bother you in the slightest, you might be on the hunt for a special snack after your Mad Tea Party ride. If there’s a Krispy Kreme nearby, you might wanna try one of their new TWIX in a doughnut concoctions (yes, seriously).

Speaking of TWIX, join me over here at the water cooler for a quick dose of trivia about that chocolate-covered, double-shot of shortbread and caramelly goodness. Before it made its way Stateside, what we now know as TWIX was first introduced in 1967 in the United Kingdom. Back then, it was called Raider.

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and congratulate whoever it was that recommended that name change—I hold up my right TWIX in tribute.
