Celebrating Ladies of July

Those of us who are lucky enough to have a Lady of July to call as a friend know just how caring and protective our friends can be and having the chance to show them just how thankful we are to have them in our life and spend time celebrating them is never a chore.

• Those that are born in July are either a Cancer or Leo.
  • Cancer birthdays fall between June 21 – July 22
  • Leo birthdays fall between July 23 – August 22
• July Birthstone – Ruby
• July Flower(s) – Larkspur & Waterlily

Here are three ways you can celebrate a friend in July:

Plan a Beach Day – Take advantage of the summer weather and organize a fun day or weekend at the beach with your friend. Planning ahead will help you find the best deal for a favorite hotel, beach-side rental, or B&B. Be sure to pack snacks and plenty of drinks to stay hydrated on the trip. Oh, and don’t forget the sunblock!

Go to a Summer Festival or Special Event – Louisiana has no shortage of food, music, or festivals. In fact, many of our festivals are about food and music. So this is a great time to pick up a few tickets, map out your route, and clear your calendar for a day with your friend.

Enjoy a day at a Museum in the AC – Looking to avoid the Louisiana heat? Museums are a great way to spend the day and enjoy some time out of the sun. We have several museums sprinkled throughout the state, including the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Louisiana History Museum in Alexandria, and the Louisiana Art & Science Museum in Baton Rouge, just to name a few.

If you can, remember to plan ahead and choose something you’re sure your friend will enjoy, then go about making memories with someone worth celebrating.
