Our 4th of July!

We had so much fun yesterday. We woke up early, went to the movie theater and watched Ted and Magic Mike (if you haven't watched them yet, you should definitely watch them. They're hilarious).

In the afternoon, we went to have lunch/dinner in a cozy restaurant in Newbury Street, and saw the fireworks after eating. It was beautiful!

We painted our hair with blue, white, and red, but by the time we took these pictures most of the colors had fallen off. I also got the chance to wear my JC American Flag Litas for the first time! I had been saving them for almost a year, just to wear them on the 4th of July.

How was your independence day? Today, July 5th, is our independence day in Venezuela!

Enjoy the pictures!

4th of july Cocktails and Cupcakes

Hi everyone!!!! So 4th of july is around the corner and as other fellow North Americans: WE ARE GETTING READY FOR IT!!!

Lately, we've been going a lot to B street restaurant. Not only because their Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp is the best, but also their Cocktails drinks are very creative and tasty. They came up with different ideas for the fourth of July and we had the pleasure to try them. We loved them all!
