Wow, is it Fourth of July already? (Okay, it’s the 2nd, but still.) What would the weekend be without fireworks and festivals! With the assistance of Miss Cozy (check out CozyWallet.com for more swank ways to save money), we’ve constructed a list of the best places to watch the fireworks and other festive shindigs around the country…

Miss Cozy’s Beauty Tip of the Day: Put away cakey powder. To keep oily, shiny skin at bay, adjust your skin care. Use a mattifying lotion in the morning to absorb oil. Touch up with blotting papers during the day and make sure to use toner in the evening.

Miami, Florida – It’s July 4th weekend.. Of course Festivals and Fireworks are main priority! If you’re in Florida, check out the City of Homestead Concert and Fireworks – For those in southern Miami-Dade County, the Homestead Sports Complex is also hosting an Independence Day festival and fireworks show. The festival will feature a car show, rides, entertainment, food and music with a fireworks show at 9PM. For more, call the City of Homestead Department of Parks and Recreation at (305) 224-4570.

San Diego, California - San Diego Bay is the place to be on July 4^th when the 10th Annual Port of San Diego Big Bay Boom fills the sky with a spectacular pyrotechnic light show.  Four barges will be placed strategically in San Diego Bay off the shorelines of Shelter Island, Harbor Island, the North Embarcadero area and between Seaport Village and the Coronado Ferry Landing. The fireworks will be visible from all of the Port’s parks around the northern and central San Diego Bay area. These include Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Spanish Landing, Embarcadero Marina Parks North and South, Cesar Chavez Park, Coronado Tidelands Park and the Imperial Beach Pier.

Baltimore, Maryland – This Friday kicks off Moonstruck at the Little Italy Open Air Film Festival – The city’s grandest free outdoor movie series kicks off with this classic starring Cher and Nicholas Cage. Music starts at 7, the movie begins at 9, but get there early or you won’t have a spot to park your lawn chair. This is sure to be packed. The movie and music are free. Intersection of High and Stiles streets.

Little Rock, Arkansas – Most places and parks around Arkansas have firework displays this July 4^th weekend as well as plenty of BBQ’s and picnics.  This year, the place to be is Pops on the River. Bring chairs or blankets to Riverfront Park – gates open at 5:30 p.m. There will be music starting at 6:30 and fireworks launch at 9:30 p.m. The Arkansas symphony will be playing patriotic music to go along with the display. There’s not only a fireworks display to get excited about, there are other activities planned and a marketplace with cute stuff for sale.

Kansas City, Missouri – One thing is for sure – Kansas City knows how to do it up right when it comes to fireworks. With the 4th of July holiday right around the corner, it’s time to start figuring out which fireworks display to go and see. KC Riverfest – Held at Berkley Riverfront Park, this annual event not only has one of the best Fireworks displays in the Kansas City Metro that is choreographed to live music, but great entertainment and things to do for the whole family. Berkley Park on the River between the Broadway and Paseo bridges – Ongoing events July 3rd and 4th. Fireworks at 10:05pm, 4th of July – $6 or save $1 when booking online. Visit KC Riverfest.com

We couldn’t close out the week of cheap buys without providing a good list of fun things to do this weekend. We enlisted the the help of Miss Cozy (check out CozyWallet.com for more swank ways to save money) for low to no cost options to enjoy this weekend. Featured cities: San Diego, Philadelphia and New York. As the temperature rises we want to find some things to cool you down. (Other than the beach, of course!)

Miss Cozy’s Beauty Tip of the Day: Before you slip into your tiny bikini, try an exfoliator all over – including your elbows and knees (while you’re in the shower) to get rid of any dead skin cells and make your body feel smooth and fresh!

I miss Spring Break. It’s that week or so of frivolity and excess wedged between winter quarter finals and the final few weeks of school. Nowadays the closest I get to a Spring vaca is living vicariously through family and friends who are still free to enjoy the first weeks of sun.

Who, for instance wouldn’t want to enjoy the S’mores, Slides and Shamu package offered by The Blue Marble Spa at the Hyatt Regency in Mission Bay, San Diego? For just $299 a night, your family can stay at the Hyatt and enjoy the sights of San Diego, including world-famous Sea World just down the road. The package also includes a s’mores kit, a gift certificate to the eco-friendly Blue Marble Spa and access to the many water sport activities the Hyatt has to offer including boating, jet skiing, sailing, windsurfing and wakeboarding. All fabulous ingredients for a fun-filled family Spring Break.

If you’ll be in the San Diego area from Apri 13-19 take advantage of The Blue Marble Spa’s Spa Week treatments!
