Things I love about the 4th of July...

Let me preface this post with the fact that the 4th of July is MY FAVORITE holiday. Today (Saturday) we are taking the liberty (pun intended) to turn the 4th of July into an entire weekend celebration...I mean, we do have Monday off!

Now, here is why I love the 4th of July (and why everyone else should too):

• Friends. 4th of July is one of those holidays you can celebrate with allll of your friends and family.  It's not a friend-only or family-only holiday. It's a holiday for everyone---even strangers.
• Wearing red, white and blue. Duh. It's great. It's like dressing up for college theme parties, but I'm not in college anymore.  One can dream.
• BBQ. Burning charcoal, grilled corn on the cob, hotdog buns with ketchup (Frankfest?! Anyone?), pickles.
• Drinks. Themed, of course.
• Decorations. Including firework straws, per my photo below.
• Beach. Backyard!!! Sun, blue skies (I hope), fluffy clouds and tans.
• Get a day off of work.
• Country music. It's Amuuurica.

I'm sure I can think of some more reasons as the day goes on...

Red, white and blue,

Emma and Jack?

Interesting photo I stumbled upon...not sure if it's fit for Emma (red toy poodle) and Jack (black toy poodle), but I can dream.

A new way to eat popcorn...

There's caramel, parmesan, plain, salted, olive oil, cheddar, butter...and more when it comes to popcorn flavors. But have you ever heard of honey popcorn? Bet not...until now! I love dipping popcorn in sauces--particularly ketchup and ranch dressing--but I now have a new love for dipping popcorn in honey :). Since I'm still doing the no baked goods, candy, chocolate thing, I have to be creative, right? So next time you're popping a bag of popcorn, take out a bowl and squeeze some honey in it. You'll be dipping through the whole bag!

Love,

It's Pink Day

While there is no historical reference out there as to why June 23^rd is recognized as National Pink Day or where it came from, I do know that I love the color pink and any excuse to wear pink (like a National Day) is fine by me! So today, let out the fun, girlie side of you (men included) by sporting the color pink.  I know I will be.

Besides clothes, here are some more pink little gems to love...

• Pink peonies. Can someone say weddings!?
• Breast Cancer Ribbons. Pink for a good cause.
• Elvis’ pink Cadillac he gave his mom. Can I have one?
• Pink Lemonade. I’d like to see more pink lemonade at the neighborhood lemonade stands. Just a thought...
• Pink diamonds. They exist. Just ask J Lo.
• Cotton Candy. Pink tastes the best…there’s blue too, and purple, and yellow. Yumm.
• Bubble gum. Bazzooooookaaaaaa! But I suggest using sparingly...may cause molar soreness due to constant chewing.
• Nail polish. I may or may not have hot pink on my toes right now!

Tickled Pink,
Hannah
