It’s the Month of Relaxing, and all over Neopia, colourful banners are going up, rainbow streamers are fluttering through the streets of Neopia Central, and Pets are celebrating a month of love, identity, and self-expression. It’s Neopian Pride Month! This special time of year is a chance for Neopians to honour what makes us unique, to uplift our communities, and to sprinkle a little extra colour, kindness, and joy into the world. As someone who is part of Neopia’s queer community, I know how important it can be to make this month special. Whether you're a longtime Neopian or a fresh-faced newbie, here are eight heartfelt, silly, and sparkly ways to show your pride this month. 1. Take a Dip in the Rainbow Pool Since Neopia’s beginnings, the Rainbow Pool has been *the* place for magic, transformation, and joy. What better way is there to show your pride than with a splash of colour? Head to the Rainbow Pool and transform your Neopet with a magical paint brush. Choose from Rainbow, Disco, Swampgas, or whatever colour will best express your Pets true self! Don’t have a Paint Brush? No problem! Window shopping at the Rainbow Pool and dreaming up future looks with your pet can be just as fun. Maybe even set a goal together to save up for that elusive Royal or Faerie makeover. Pride is about possibility, after all.

Summer is here! The sun is shining, and the temperature is rising. You know what that means - it's time to go to the beach! However, in order to maximize your fun while playing in the sand and water, you need to make sure you have all the essentials. What are those exactly? That's what I'm here for! I've created a list of all the things you'll need to have the perfect beach day. Let’s dive in and get to it! You're going to need quite a few items for maximum fun, so plan to bring a tote. The Mynci Summer Beach Tote is perfect, as it comes equipped with the right pockets for your things. Everything fits in its place, and it's made with holes in the bottom of the bag to allow sand and water to run out! There's nothing worse than having last beach day's sand on your things when you show up for a new day of fun in the sun! The first item out of your tote should be your sunscreen. Getting sunburnt is the perfect way to ruin a beach trip. Had an awesome time but came home as red as a Christmas Wocky? No thank you! Illusens Sunscreen is sure to protect your skin, keeping it glowy and the color it's supposed to be, just like Illusen. She's beautiful - you can stay beautiful too! The sun is bright and powerful at the beach, so you need to protect those eyes. While there are many options for stylish sunglasses these days, it's always good to bust...

Hello there friends! It's me Gonzo, and welcome back to another article! Summer is here, and nothing says summer like a delicious roasted s'more! This longtime tradition can be done anytime of year, but it's most popular during summer nights around a campfire or bonfire. In case any Pet out there is unaware, here's how it usually goes. First, you get a heat source for cooking, traditionally a big fire, but you can also make s'mores in your Neohome using an oven or microwave. Then take a marshmallow of your choice and melt it; make it just a little gooey or you can make it as crisp as you like! Lastly, grab your fillings and place them, along with the hot marshmallow, in between two pieces of graham cracker. Smush them together and viola! You've got yourself a delicious s'more! Ingredients in s'mores can vary a lot. I’m only going over a few in this article but for more information about s'more recipes and making s'mores I highly recommend the book The Art of Making the Perfect Smore Book! It’s a great summer read, but as a warning; you will definitely be hungry afterwards! My list here will go over a general array of s'mores, starting from the more unusual and strange ones and then going on to some delicious variations. Without further ado let's look at some s'mores!
