Things that are magical: Unicorns. Harry Potter. National holidays that give us a day off work. With July 4th coming up fast, here are some red, white, and blue ideas to get you in the mood.

Red:

• Whip up a pitcher of homemade watermelon and strawberry slushies . These are awesome with or without alcohol. Drink them while watching the sunset after a scorching day.
• Get a patriotic mani. You could play it safe and go all red, or capture the flag and have your nails painted red, white, and blue.

White:

• After the outdoor fireworks, create more in the bedroom with white candles that double as massage oil. Light a Jimmyjane Afterglow Candle , dip a brush into it as it melts, paint it on and massage each other.
• Whipped cream is white. And crazy delicious. Plan a picnic and bring whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries. Tip: Dab some on your neck and have him lick it off.

Blue:

• Is that a rocket in his pocket? Yes. Make your country proud and adorn it with a red, white, and blue condom . (We recommend using one along with your other trusted method of birth control.)
• Malibu Betty is shockingly blue dye for the hair down there. It’s safe and OMG they have stencils. You can add stars! Revolutionary indeed.

Have fun,
