In an attempt to make it to the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 27-year-old had to make sacrifices, including putting his music career on hold for five years. In the end, he fell short in both the 100-meter men’s freestyle and 100-meter butterfly during the 2024 Australian Swimming Trials, failing to earn a spot on the relay team for Paris.

Rather than hold on to the disappointment, Simpson is already throwing on his Olympics merch and looking ahead, including going back into music. For fans anticipating his music comeback, the star already teased a lot of “exciting projects” lined up, according to a press statement. While you wait, though, the “Free” singer shifted his creativity to writing and has published his first-ever kid’s book, titled The Sea In Me, which you can buy online now from Amazon.

“The Sea in Me” by Cody Simpson
Simpson’s children’s book isn’t just the first time the singer has published a story for kids, but it’s the first story he’s ever written. There are 32 pages total with illustrations done by Amandine Thomas, while the storyline dives into how Simpson uses swimming to escape the chaos of life outside the water.
While there are many music books to choose from, the pop singer’s children’s book looks to inspire the younger generation while focusing on an activity other than singing or playing an instrument. While it’s not a musician memoir, it does give a more in-depth look into another of the artist’s passions, allowing fans to gain insight into how special swimming is to Simpson, even after he was unable to make it to the 2024 Olympics.

TikTokers have been claiming the UNbrush as the ultimate brush for detangling hair, but now Amazon shoppers are claiming a $9 hairbrush is the true defender against painful “yanking.”

Featuring 19 colors and patterns to choose from (including an Amazon-exclusive Aqua), the Wet Brush is ready to help smooth knotted strands with its flexible bristles. ShopBillboard has even tested the hairbrush and love how lightweight and comfortable the hair tool is to hold. Its unique bristles allows for the brush to move through hair more easily with less snags, creating a pain-free experience.
Since the brush is so lightweight and compact, it’s also easy to pack away in your luggage making it a travel necessity for keeping your hair smooth during your adventures.
Reviewers have also gushed over how the detangling brush has “revolutionized” their hair care routine describing the experience as “love at first brush.” It’s also curly hair-approved, with one shopper saying “This brush gets through it with ease. I’m also super tender-headed and it doesn’t hurt when I brush. I even bring it with me to the salon and request my stylist use it for detangling.”
