Cariloha Friday! And an opportunity to be part of horse-racing history with the possibility of the first Triple Crown victory since horse, Affirmed, won it in 1978. For those who may not be horse-racing aficionados, the contending horse, I’ll Have Another, has already won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, which are the first two races of the Triple Crown. Next up is the Belmont Stakes in New York City, where the 144th Belmont race will be held. Only 11 horses have won the Triple Crown so far, and I’ll Have Another hopes to be the 12th. May the best horse win!
As you begin to test the weekend waters, be sure to get your Cariloha style on, letting it bring out the best in yourself and those around you.
Let’s get started. Name your poison and make a new best friend or tell the ones you have how much you appreciate them (today), then, laugh it up with a few Donald Duck cartoons before taking in the excitement of the Belmont Stakes (tomorrow), next, use your favorite ball point pen all day (Sunday), finally, hug your friends and family a lot and gobble down some corn on the cob (Monday). Have a delightful horse-racing weekend!
However you approach your weekend, make it a memorable time and don’t forget to wrap up in your Cariloha bamboo-soft clothing, sheets or towels every day.
