2. Watch This! Hancock

The orgasmic Will Smith has proven time and time again to be a big money maker for the Fourth of July week and I don’t believe this movie will disappoint. Although the movie premiered in theaters on July 2nd, it would still be a great movie to check out before you go to your barbecue to gush about how spectacular he looks.

3. Wear This! “Sunglasses”

Protect your peepers this weekend while you are out being as splendiferous as you can be. Go ahead and get your Jackie O on with some oversized shades or you can fall in with the 80’s baby trend of the square sunglasses. What ever it may be make sure that you are not letting those UV rays in. These sunglasses are made by Prada but if you are ballin’ on a budget try some that are similar from Target for only $19.99 by Isaac Mizrahi.

4. Hear This! “Lloyd and Nelly – Lose Control”

Lloyd has that soft and sultry voice that could make you almost melt like butter. Nelly is one of the hottest rappers out right now, and when you put the two together, it’s magic. The song has really grown on me – it has a nice groove, although it seems Lloyd is trying to sound like Michael Jackson. With Nelly on the track it kind of evens it out, like sweet and sour. Together it’s just the right blend.

5. Do This! “Go To A Barbecue”

This weekend is the Fourth of July weekend and we all know what that means. That’s right love muffins, go find yourself a good barbecue. Go get knee and elbow deep in some coleslaw, potato salad, ribs, burgers…let me stop, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Even if you don’t go to a barbecue this weekend, please love muffins remember to stay safe.
