red, ice and blue

Here’s an easy way to add some color and flavor to your water this 4th of July {and all summer long}.

1. get an ice cube tray
2. drop in your favorite berries
3. fill with water
4. pop into the freezer

When you’re ready for a refreshing glass of water, preferably on a sunny day by the pool, drop in the ice cubes. They’ll keep your water cool and as they melt, infuse your glass with subtle berry flavor. Plus, they add a nice little pop of color to an otherwise boring glass of H2O.

{Red + White + Blue} Nails

So this cold is totally kicking my butt. Looking down at my bare nails, I knew I needed some 4th of July inspiration. Though I can barely gather enough energy to even post this – much less do my nails – I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better soon and can do something fun for Friday’s Independence Day festivities. Here are just a few fun ideas, and you can head to my board on Pinterest for these + more!
