This mini-episode is all about one half of the Duo, Courtney. If you’ve watched any of our reels, than you may have seen a series of fun wigs and festive outfits. Courtney is prepared for every holiday and wins every costume contest she attends.
So, obviously the Fourth of July is no different! This girl is practically made of sparklers and themed red, white, and blue outfits.
Grab your earbuds and tune into a little behind the scenes of one of Courtney’s favorite holidays and her enormous collection of outfits to celebrate America.

The Outfits: A Full Week of Freedom Fashion
This is where things get a little ridiculous… in the best way.
She doesn’t go overboard with home decor, but themed outfits? Oh, she goes all in. Her algorithm knows her too well—feeding her sparkly headbands, star-studded jumpsuits, and kitschy tees on the daily.
Court has a full lineup of outfits for every single day of the week leading up to the Fourth of July. It’s curated chaos and honestly, we’re obsessed. If you see Court out that week, know that look was planned. Freedom fashion is an art.





Why Fourth of July Decor Just Isn’t Her Thing (Mostly)
Here’s the truth: Court has never really loved red, white, and blue together.
On their own? Fine.
But as a trio? It’s a bit much.
The colors clash, it feels chaotic, and decorating with them has just never felt inspiring. It’s the designer in her!
But recently, she’s caved a little by officially purchasing TWO patriotic patio pillows—a huge move for her 😂.
So no, she’s not going full “America exploded in my living room,” but she has embraced just enough to be festive without losing her aesthetic.

Boom Basket Season Has Arrived
We love a good Easter basket and now that tradition has arrived on the Fourth of July. Mila now gets her very own boom basket. It’s like an Easter basket, but full of red, white, and blue cuteness.
So far, Court has filled it with:
- Mini outfits
- Coloring books
- Sweet treats
- Tiny hats
- Temporary tattoos
- Hair flair and all the sparkles
It’s one of Court’s favorite parts of the week now! Mila’s face when she sees it = everything.
And let’s be real, Courtney probably has more fun creating it than Mila does opening it!


Lake Week = Complete Reset
Every year, Courtney takes the entire week of the Fourth of July off—no exceptions. She heads back home to the lake and totally unplugs.
No emails. No to-do lists. No deadlines.
Just slow mornings, lots of sunshine, campfires, grilled food, and sparkling drinks (the adult and kid kind.)
Doesn’t that sound amazing? 😍
It’s all about friends, family, late nights, and being barefoot as much as possible.
It’s her mid-year reset, and she looks forward to it every single summer!
