Here at Brit+Co, we're suckers for a good pun. We mean, Fourth of Jul-ice cream is TOO GOOD. It also begs the question: What is Fourth of Jul-ice cream? The obvious answer is a cold red, white and blue milky, sugary slap in the face. In a good way. Keep reading for three ways to get your fix. We've got a classic cone, a layered milkshake and a childhood recipe for ice cream “soup" (you all know what that is).

Brit + Co

Ingredients:

Brit + Co

— coconut (or other white) ice cream

— red and blue gel food coloring

Instructions:

Brit + Co

1. Scoop ice cream into a bowl.

2. Add food coloring and mix well.

For all three treats, you will need red, white and blue ice cream. There are red and blue flavors on the market, but we couldn't find any, so we used dye. Feel free to buy or dye.

Brit + Co

You gotta be quick with the licks to keep this from melting on your hand. We didn’t go with classic Neapolitan flavors (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate), but you could easily do so by dyeing the strawberry a deeper red and using white chocolate for the blue. Our version is solid coconut, but follow your heart!

Red, White and Blue Neapolitan

Brit + Co

Take note of the round container we used for this. It was a fail! We highly recommend you use a bread tin instead. To make your ice cream, scoop the more solid white ice cream into a strip down the middle of the tin. This will act as a barrier for the other two, which will be in a more soup-like form due to mixing in the food coloring. Add red to one side and blue to the other. Place it in the freezer for around two hours.

Brit + Co

Here's where the fail happened. When we tried to scoop the ice cream, because it was in a round tin, the act of pulling the scoop towards me spun ALL of the ice cream around in a circle. Whoops! I managed to get some in the end, but it wasn't ideal.

Brit + Co

The proper way to eat ice cream is two scoops on a cone.

Brit + Co

Ice cream: a true American patriot.

Brit + Co

It took us five stores to find dragon fruit and when we sliced it open, it was a vibrant magenta rather than the white we expected. Sweet surprise in our book and a perfect topping for a layered milkshake.

Fourth of July Layered Milkshake

Brit + Co

Mix and pour, mix and pour, mix and pour. If you want a thinner shake, add a bit of milk to your ice cream before you pour it in the glass.

Brit + Co

Top with dragon fruit and pocky or any other fruit/candy combo you love.

Brit + Co

We couldn't stop staring at these. They're so pretty!

Brit + Co

This one is a callback to childhood. When we were kids, we loved mixing my ice cream until it was liquid and then pretending it was soup. What is with that? Why would we want to turn DESSERT into something that would normally be dinner or a side?

Ice Cream “Soup"

Brit + Co

All you need to do for this award-winning “recipe” is mix your ice cream until it is the perfect consistency. Then add toppings. This is a dessert soup, after all, so toppings can consist of candy, sprinkles and fruit.

Brit + Co

Meet your match, smoothie bowl.

Brit + Co

Other ideas for toppings include blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, mochi, chia seeds and white chocolate. Don’t be afraid to add all different shades of red, white and blue. Your toppings don’t all need to be bold primary colors.

Brit + Co

We hope we've inspired you to get creative with your ice cream this year! Happy Fourth of July!

The best season is almost here and I'm excited because that means I get to stock up on cozy Targetfall decor that makes my heart tingle. I may have a summer name, but pumpkin spice season and I are in a very serious courtship for so many reasons. Plus, my nickname is 'Pumpkin' which partially explains my affinity for the cute and delicious round fruit.

With the promise of crisp fall days, golden sunsets, new TV shows, and rib knit sweaters ahead, I trust cannot wait to get my home ready with all the seasonal decor. So, while we wait for the most wonderful time of the year to start, here's 15 Target fall decor picks to help you start creating immaculate cozy vibes. Seriously, everyone will want to come to your space to binge watch Gilmore Girls once they see all the seasonal changes you've made!

The Best Target Fall Decor For Outdoors

Target

Briarwood Lane Fall Doormat

No matter where you live, you need a festive doormat that signals the arrival of fall...and visitors. I know this is super cliché, but nothing will accomplish that more than something that has pumpkins and sunflowers etched on it.

This can be your way of reminding yourself that you need to go on your annual visit to your local pumpkin patch to spend time with loved ones and other fall lovers.

Target

Hyde & EEK! Boutique Falloween Large Orange Sheltered Porch Pumpkin

I promise featuring a porch pumpkin next isn't intentional, but I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to tell you that this will match your new doormat! It's not as big as it looks and can sit comfortable on your fireplace's mantle if you don't want to leave it outside.

Target

National Tree Company Wreath with Pumpkins And Sunflowers

Okay, this wreath is so autumnal. There's something warm and inviting about it — which is exactly what fall feels like. It'll be like you're sending the world a signal that your home is a safe space for anyone who may need it.

Target

Classic Accessories Montlake FadeSade Indoor/Outdoor Throw Pillows

Anything that's forest or hunter green makes me feel very grounded, just like fall does. The best thing about this shade is you can use it as a pop of color on your porch or patio — especially if you can't get into anything orange.

Aside from the gorgeous color, these pillows are fade and water-resistant so they'll be okay if you fall asleep on one of them!

Target

Threshold 72" Artificial White Oak Tree

Real trees are fun to water and watch flourish, but some of us don't have the best green thumb. Luckily, this white oak tree still counts as one of the Target fall decor picks you'll want to snag.

It's 72", so it's at a height that won't overpower the corner of your front porch of patio. Also, say bye-bye to dirt spills because this tress is secured inside of the vase even if someone accidentally knocks it over.

Target Fall Decor For Your Kitchen

Target

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia 18" Wood Kitchen Step Stool

Anyone who's under 5'5" needs a step stool in their life. I don't make the rules, but I'm willing to enforce it so we don't injure ourselves trying to hop on the counter to reach a bowl or the cereal that's on top of the refrigerator. It has two steps and it easily folds when you're not using it.

How cute and demure!

Target

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia 2qt Stainless Steel Arch Cutout Teapot

Teapots really aren't for decorative purposes, but I'm not turning down anything that'll make my kitchen look like a gorgeously curated stock photo. It has a cute golden spout that looks like it wants you to pour tea out of it, and it works for all stoves, gas included!

The more I look at it, the more I believe it needs to come home with me.

Target

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Marble Covered Dessert Stand

I'm not going to judge you if you decide you want to buy a marble covered dessert stand to display your store-bought cupcakes. After watching Bridgerton, I think we all have an excuse to start creating beautiful food spreads on our kitchen countertops.

The Best Target Fall Decor For Your Living Room

Target

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Boucle Upholstered Accent Arm Chair

Is it time to replace the accent chair you've had since you were a freshman in college? Trade it for this boucle upholstered beauty from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia!

Target

Threshold Ledges Digital Floral Print Distressed Persian Rug

This rug looks like it'll be the perfect addition for my new wooden desk! I'm not sure when it happened, but I love digital, distressed prints on rugs because they remind me of the vintage ones my grandparents used to have. I have a similar rug in my living room, and that's held up against a toddler, so this one's worth investing in!

Target

Threshold Mercer Cocktail Ottoman

You need somewhere to place your feet up while you sip fall cocktails and read your spooky thriller books! I mean, it's literally called a 'cocktail' ottoman — so there you go!

Target

Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes For Gathering by Joanna Gaines

I'm biased, but Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes For Gathering is one of my go-to cookbooks when I want to experiment with seasoning pairings. If you don't like the idea of spending time in the kitchen, it still makes for a cute coffee table book!

Target

Ralph Lauren: In His Own Fashionby Alan Flusser

Ralph Lauren symbolizes the classic Americana fall look to me, which is why I think you need this book on your coffee table. The green and navy plaid serves as a focal point that'll spruce up your living room and make people make pay attention to it.

Target

Threshold Large Matte Ceramic Speckle Glaze Vase

Do you need a speckled vase in your living room? Maybe, maybe not. All that matters is how much it has that chic rustic farmhouse feel that works so well for fall.

You can leave it as is, OR you can place a collection of faux fall leaves in it. The choice is always yours!

Target

Northlight Crackled Fall Harvest Pumpkin Decoration

There's someone somewhere who'll get a kick out of having a gold, crackled pumpkin in their living room. If you haven't guessed, that someone is me and maybe the girl who lives for a good glam moment during fall.

This season doesn't have to be boring so you should have as much fun with whichever Target fall decor picks you find!

Lucy, my three-year-old schnauzer mix, has a major sweet tooth, or really any kind of tooth. She loves food and will literally bite the hand that feeds her for the tiniest nibble. She’ll do just about anything for food. And she especially loves yogurt and ice cream until we discovered that she’s lactose-intolerant. This isn't uncommon — according to the AKC (American Kennel Club), lots of dogs are lactose intolerant, so they struggle with some of the foods they (and we) love most like cheeses, yogurts, and ice creams.

Lucky for her, we discovered Ollie x Van Leeuwen Ice Cream’s nondairy ice cream for dogs. You can shop it at Van Leeuwen scoop shops across the country, as well as at most Petco locations and online. Ollie subscribers can add it to their orders, or join Ollie by June 13 for a free pint with purchase!

Puppy Love

Lucy's POV: First off, the smell! The scent of peanut butter, my fave, caused my tail to start wagging furiously. Then came the taste. The non-dairy ice cream is sweet and salty, with swirls of delicious peanut butter. One word: Drool! No belly aches here. Every lick = pure bliss. Paws-up from me!

But seriously, she LOVED it. She followed me back to the freezer hoping to catch another lick. She even rang her "bells" to go outside again, hoping there'd still be more there, lol

I’ve never seen her so excited for a treat – and she LOVES treats. I'm smitten with the idea of serving it for her birthday! BTW, yes, I also took a taste and it was really tasty and not super sweet! Exactly as Lucy describes.;)

I L-O-V-E season 3 of Bridgertonin all its friends-to-lovers, springtime, romantic glory, and I'm already thinking about Bridgerton season 4. I'm a sucker for any storyline about siblings, and the Bridgertons are some of my favorites. We've been speculating that season 4 of Bridgerton would follow Benedict and his love interest Sophie, or Eloise's love story, and on July 23, Netflix finally confirmed which sibling the series would cover next. Here's everything you need to know about season 4 of the hit TV show. And check out everything you need to know aboutThe Bridgerton Season 3 Ending!

Will there be season 4 of Bridgerton?

Netflix

Yes, we're getting a Bridgerton season 4! After the popularity of the first season, Netflix renewed the series for another two seasons in 2021. And the senior season of the Shondaland show will follow An Offer from a Gentleman, which revolves around second-eldest son Benedict (played by Luke Thompson). While Anthony and Colin are now happily married, Benedict isn't sure he wants to settle down — until his mother's masquerade ball introduces him to a Lady in Silver he can't stop thinking about.

Who's in the Bridgerton season 4 cast?

Netflix

Bridgerton season 4 will star Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton, as well as Luke Newton, Nicola Coughlan, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Claudia Jessie, Hannah Dodd, Will Tilston, and Florence Hunt as the rest of the Bridgertons + their spouses. Plus, Harriet Cains, Nicola Coughlan, Jessica Madsen, and Bessie Carter!

Michaela is played by Masali Baduza, who fans had originally thought was playing Sophie. You might recognize the actress from movies like The Woman King and Slumber Party Massacre. "They never disappoint, casting geniuses," one Reddit user says.

When is Bridgerton season 4 coming out?

Considering part one of Bridgerton season 3 is hitting Netflix May 16, 2024, we definitely won't see season 4 of Bridgerton for awhile. So far, there have been two years in between each season, so I'm expecting season 4 to start streaming in 2026. And showrunner Jess Bronwell agrees.

"We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we’re kind of on a two-year pace, we’re trying to speed up but somewhere in that range.”

How many episodes will season 4 of Bridgerton have?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Considering all three seasons of Bridgerton so far have eight episodes each, we can expect Netflix to keep up that pattern. Having the same number of episodes each season means the pace and arc for each Bridgerton sibling will be equal, making it a much more balanced watching experience! Plus, eight siblings, eight episodes, eight seasons.

Will Bridgerton have all 8 seasons?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Yes, Bridgerton will have all 8 seasons, one for each Bridgerton sibling — at least, that's the plan. "This being a family of eight children and there being eight books, I would love to be able to focus and really tell stories and love stories for all the Bridgerton siblings. For each character, for sure," showrunner Chris Van Dusen tells Collider.

After Bridgerton season 4, I'm most interested to see youngest sibling Hyacinth's love story play out! Seeing her arc throughout all eight seasons, especially mirrored with the way her brothers and sisters evolve over the course of the show, is going to be the perfect way to wrap this series up.
