I will be living vicariously through Snapchat, Instagram, and all the lovely blogs that I follow today since a) I have to work today. But hey, time and a half! and b) I have an exam on Tuesday and an exam on Wednesday. So unfortunately I don't really have time to be frolicking around and having fun in the sun. Although I did do that this weekend. I'll post about it sometime this week. I spent 2 and half days in Cape Cod and it was amazing.
So all you firecrackers out there, here I present you with 20 Ideas For An Absurdly Festive 4th of July!
- Make red, white & blue jello shots. I made these on Thursday but doubled the recipe. As someone whose forte is not math, this was rather terrifying. But they came out amazing!
- Rock a red, white & blue snapback hat.
- Take a Boomerang video of yourself playing with sparklers.
- Make a red, white, and blue fruit platter and Instagram it. #Healthy. My favorite is one that has blueberries, strawberries, and white chocolate dipped pretzels in the shape of a flag!
- Give yourself a red, white, or blue (or all three) mani/pedi.
- Spend some time on a boat, any kind of boat!
- If you're lucky enough to live in the Northeast, visit Martha's Vineyard, Hampton Beach, or Virginia Beach!
- Sip sangria with a red, white, and blue straw.
- Relive your horrifying college days and shotgun a Bud Light. #Murica
- If you aren't wearing red, white and blue socks, are you even trying to be festive?
- Tie some red, white and blue balloons anywhere you can.
- DIY a red, white and blue tassel garland. Hang everywhere.
- Eat only red, white and blue foods... challenge accepted?
- Rock a red lip. Adding blue eyeliner and silver sparkle stars is optional.
- Get the red, white, and blue sprinkle donut from Dunkin today! That's the spirit.
- Adorn your pet in an embarrassing red, white and blue get up.
- Ride a crazy 4th of July pool floatie like this or THIS.
- You absolutely must grill or BBQ. Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, pasta salad and broccoli salad. Because no foods are more American than salads made with loads of mayo.
- Rock these American flag shades. All day and all night.
- Whatever you do, have fun and be safe! If you're lucky enough to have this extra day off (I am not) spend it with your friends and family. Preferable by a body of water, preferably with a delicious and patriotic beverage in hand, preferably playing some kinds of backyard lawn games. Smile and celebrate your life and your freedom.
