4th of July Fun

Hey guys! So, I thought since yesterday was the 4th of July it'd be fun to share with you guys some of the things I did to prepare for yesterday and what I did today. So, for the 4th of July, I painted my nails, made some yummy snacks and a drink. I am going to share with you guys how to make some of these yummy snacks and drinks, how to paint your nails like a flag, and my go to 4th of July outfit. So, first I made some super yummy snacks with my family and cousins. We made chocolate cupcakes, funfetti cupcakes, zucchini bread, caramel apple rolls, and 4th of July trail mix.
The ingredients for the chocolate cupcakes was a chocolate cake mix, 3/4 sour cream, 3/4 vegetable oil, and 3 eggs. We mixed it all together and just cooked it until it looked cooked and yummy. Later, we made a frosting, but you can just use a premade one and then we frosted the cupcakes and decorated them.
For the funfetti cupcakes we used a funetti cupcake mix, 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of vegetable oil. We then baked the cupcakes for 10-15 minutes took them out cooled them, used the premade icing, iced the cupcakes and decorated them. I didn't help make the zucchini bread or the caramel apple rolls, but I am going to tell you how to make some delicious trail mix and punch.
The trail mix just included frosted cheerios, pretzels, marshmallows, popcorn, and M&M's. We just threw it in a bowl and mixed it all together. It was amazing!
The punch just included red, white, and blue powerade, sugar, and a red vines or twizzlers. It was delicious and a fun treat!
For the nails, I painted my pinkie and pointer finger red, my ring finger white, my middle finger blue, and my thumb as the flag. For the middle finger, I just painted my finger nail blue and added a few dots to symbolized the blue and stars on the flag. For my thumb, I used tape for for the red and white part of the flag and blocked of a part for the blue and stars part with a small piece of tape. I painted the square where the blue was going to be and then added a few dots with a bobby pin to add the stars. They turned out great and were an awesome touch to my 4th of july look!
This is my outfit for the day. It is just a red and white striped tank top and overalls. I am also wearing my navy blue levi's and flower headband to top it all off. Hope you have a great day! Hoping you all a great 4th of July, Jordan <3
