Happy 4th of July weekend, my American friends! As most of us are off this Friday, I’ll make this post short & sweet.

Dj is out of town visiting his family in Philly for the next two weeks, I’m smack dab in the middle of the 21 Day Fix, and I’m overly excited to be having a looooooooong weekend!

Are you getting into anything exciting? Last year, my old roomie//bestie Sara came to visit and we hung out all day on the beach. This year will be much different, but I’m still planning on having a good time. 😉 Whatever you get into, be safe and have a blast!

1. A man waking up from surgery and seeing his wife again will give you all the feels.
2. This simplistic ombre nail tutorial is something I’ll definitely be trying out this weekend!
3. If you love ginger as much as I do, try out these pops! They’re just perfect for summer.
4. I really love this simplistic but chic bedroom décor for a side table substitute.
5. “Ding Ding Ding!” This 11 year old just won best break up text.
6. Girl Scouts just made one giant leap towards transgender equality.
7. This father/daughter duo celebrated their birthday’s in the most precious way.
8. An in-depth look at how iPhone cameras have changed over the past 8 years.
9. This vegetarian pad thai zoodle dish made by my friend & registered Dietitian, Charlotte, looks amazing!
