July Events around Tampa Bay!

It’s America’s Birthday month, so there are plenty of fun events and festivities happening around Tampa Bay this month!

First things first, be sure to watch my July FunSized Five video here.
There is absolutely no time to waste so on July 1st head on over to Armature Works for their Tampa’s Backyard BBQ. From 12pm to 5pm, there will be hot dogs, burgers and oysters on the pier near Stones Throw along with live music for you to enjoy on the Riverwalk. 

Now here’s what you should know about July 4th:


Star Spangled Sparkman will start at Sparkman Wharf at 4pm. There’ll be family-friendly activities along with live entertainment, a game zone, plenty of entertainment, food and beverage specials and more.


Then at 6pm, the Water Ski Show begins and you will only be able to see this from Sparkman Wharf. This will also be when the Boat Parade begins and I would recommend looking at the map on this site, to decide where you’d like to watch the parade from. 

At 9:15pm is when the fireworks show will begin at Sparkman Wharf. 


Another option is also the American Victory Ship’s Freedom Fest party! The ship will remain docked for the entirety of the evening but you’ll get a front row seat to the fireworks and boat parade along with refreshments, food trucks, a live DJ and so much more. 


Lastly, the Heights District 4th of July Celebration at Armature Works will have a large-scale riverfront concert, a fireworks display, hot dog eating contest and so much more. All of the fun will be starting at 3pm.


Now back to the rest of July's events

July 15th & 16th is Sharkcon at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Sharkcon is an an event dedicated to raising awareness about sharks and  ocean conservation, as well as sustainability. This year’s Sharkcon will be filled with activities, exhibits, speakers, and shark-lebrities!

Now this is a cool event, the Tampa Bay Ice Cream Festival, July 17th at St Pete Pier. Enjoy ice cream & other frozen treats from over a dozen vendors. You’ll even get to vote to see who will win the first ever best ice cream in Tampa Bay award. 



National Tequila Day is July 24th so why not celebrate with a Tacos and Tequila Tasting at Centro Asturiano de Tampa. For 2 hours you’ll get to enjoy a Casamigos tequila tasting along with Los Chapos tacos.

On the 29th head to the Tampa Theatre for Beerfest 2023, for the past 13 years the Tampa Theatre has had this fundraiser to raise funds for their majestic theater and this year the theme is Beerassic Park! It will be an evening of craft beers and local brewers, plus snacks and samples from some of the city’s top independent restaurants. Guests are invited to dress as their favorite Jurassic Park character, or come in a costume inspired by the movie.

As more events and activities come onto my radar, I will be sure to update the list as the month progresses.

Thanks to InStyle Magazine , I found out about this great new Fitness App called ' Teemo .' It's a free app you can get from iTunes that I recommend you get right this second!

What's better than that? ...Well I could name a few but let's focus on the app for right now! Teemo makes it fun for you to exercise!

Quarantine Night time Skin Care Routine

Throughout this time in quarantine, I really have made a conscious effort to take care of my skin. I think this is the best it has looked in a really long time, partly because of how I've been keeping up with this nightly routine.  So here is the quick video version of it and then I'm going to go into detail of what exactly I am doing... If I'm wearing make-up, I first use Biore's Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water to take off my make-up, or at least the majority of it. Now even though, it says on the bottle you can use this without rinsing it off, I feel like it still leaves a film which is why I go to wash my face with soap afterwards.  To wash my face, I vary between different gentle cleansers but for this video I used Lancome's Miel-en-Mousse Foaming Face Wash, which smells incredible!
