Fourth of July Do's and Don'ts

The Fourth of July is one of my absolute favorite holidays! It's an American celebration full of food, friends, fun and of course Drinks whats not to like? I know a lot of people will be going out to enjoy the holiday and in order to stay safe and truly enjoy your Fourth of July you should follow certain guidelines to ensure you get the most of your Independents Day.

1. HAVE A PLAN-  Being spontaneous can be exciting but it could also be extremely disappointing with these type of holidays. There is always a ton of things going on, everybody is throwing something and that's even more reason for you to not wait until the last minute to figure out when and where you want to be. If you want to hit up different events organize a plan before hand so you can have an idea of where you will begin and end your day. Waiting until the last minute to make plans can become so hectic and overwhelming to the point where you end up going absolutely no where & THAT SUX. I say all that just to say try to have your plan set to make things go more smoothly. I guarantee you with get more out of the day.

2. DRESS APPROPRIATELY- Just because this a patriotic holiday DOSE NOT MEAN you will get away with wrapping an American flag around ya ass and walking out the door lol. That's a HUGE MISCONCEPTION.....I see this at least once EVERY year. The key to having a GREAT TIME on the fourth is of course dressing the part. Depending on where you go is how you should select your outfit. Being trendy and fashionable is all good but being comfortable is most important of all. Most 4th of July events are outdoors so dress the part...sandals, hats, sun dresses, shorts all those things are outside friendly.Its summer time so wear bright colors and try tattered clothes like ripped jeans and crop tops. If your cute and comfortable you cant go wrong no matter where you choose to celebrate on the 4th.

3. DON'T BE TACKY- People tend to forget this rule a lot when they go to BBQs or Potlucks on the 4th of July. If you know your going to any kind of social event with friends and family that involves food you should always bring something just out of courtesy. If your not sure what to bring ask the host of the event to see what is needed. Bring a dish from home if you like to cook.....I will be posting a YUMMY post soon for you guys so you can see how to make one of my favorite 4th of July recipes. If you don't want to bring food you can also bring a gift for the host that's is always very courteous and thoughtful... A bottle of wine, flowers anything sweet just to let them know you thought about it.

                                                    

4. KNOW YOUR LIMITS- This tip applies to not only drinking but also eating! Don't forget that there is a 5th of July lol meaning don't waste all your progress on one day because it's ONLY one day. Enjoy the day and the food in moderation but don't over indulge.The same goes for drinking...Have fun get your buzz on lol but know your limits and make sure if you do drink you have a safe ride home. I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July I Know I will! Enjoy.

I don't have it all figured out, I'm just trying to get my figure right.
