Grab Your Red Lipstick, Ladies. 10 Must-Haves to Make Your Fourth of July Weekend Perfect.

Every year for the past five years we go to our family friends’ home in New Braunfels to celebrate the Fourth of July! It’s one of my favorite days of the year because let’s be honest, it incorporates some of my favorite things: barbecuing amazing food, tanning, cold drinks by the pool, family, and friends. I am sharing what I consider to be must-haves for the perfect patriotic weekend!

1 Popsicle Float– Nothing better than a cute popsicle float to liven up any pool!

2 Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars– I make these every year and not only are the super easy, they are DELICIOUS! Add a blueberry and cut strawberry to make it more festive!

3 Blueberry Lemonade Margaritas– You will be the perfect host if you serve these to your guest. Us Texas girls LOVE a good margarita and this one is delicious!

4 Marc Jacobs Red Lipstick- Shade: Deep Maraschino. This one of my favorite lipsticks because it’s hydrating. Plus, right now Sephora has it on sale for only $16! Snag one while you can, it’s always a good idea to have a red lip on hand!

5 Tula Protect + Glow Sunscreen– This sunscreen is my new OBSESSION! Not only does it offer SPF 30 protection but it also gives you a flawless glow, perfect for under makeup or just on its own!

6 Firecracker Swimsuit– This adorable red polka-dot bikini will be the perfect OOTD for a Fourth of July spent poolside! Even better, it’s only $13!

7 Tie Dye T-Shirt Dress- Tie Dye is EVERYWHERE right now. I swear, summer 2020 will be known as the year of tie dye. This bright, colorful t-shirt dress can easily function as a cute cover-up, a tunic with some biker shorts, or just a dress!

8 USA Flag Dog Bandana- Every pup needs to have the perfect accessory as well! You can even get your own bandana and match with them! Talk about a photo-op you can’t pass up!

9 YETI Red Tumblr- The perfect way to keep your drink cold while laying out by the pool! Get it in the color red for a little extra holiday spirit!

10 Pesto Pasta Salad- The perfect side to anything you make on the grill! Add some green peas like I do and you’ll have quite the crowd-pleaser on your hands! Enjoy!

Wishing you all a wonderful and safe Fourth of July holiday with your friends and family! God Bless America!
