“Pool of Music“, is an outdoor concert series highlighting local musicians that my roommates and I started a 4ish years ago to raise money for charity. It takes place in our empty pool. THIS WAS OUR 8TH POOL OF MUSIC! I can’t believe we’ve been able to keep this tradition going! It all started after we had done a couple dance parties in our empty pool and couple friends of ours suggested we do a concert in the pool. After that, we decided we wanted to put it towards a good cause and use it to raise money for charity. Every concert we pick a different organization or individual that we feel could really benefit from it. This time we decided to raise money for The Red Fred Project. It takes a lot of organization and time but it’s definitely worth it. I couldn’t do it without the many volunteers who help set up and take down, individuals and business who donate food and refreshments, the musicians that volunteer their time and talents, and someone to do all the sound audio. It’s a privilege to work with all these amazing individuals who are so willing to help make it happen. What a good use for an broken empty pool. #poolofmusic

Decor Details: We made our chandeliers out of crepe paper streamers, a wire wreath frame, and battery operated copper wire twinkle lights

Beyoncé and I share a birthday and I figured it was about time I did a Beyonce themed birthday party. In honor of us. haha. Inspired by her latest album Lemonade. If you haven’t heard of it, go listen to the album and watch the film immediately!… Well, after looking at these photos.

All the food I purchased from Sam’s Club (except the lemon candy, I got that at Gygi’s) because I didn’t want to bake and the party was too last minute to order custom deserts. But that Lemon bunt cake was amazingly good.

My nieces and nephews were the live entertainment and are actually pretty dang good at writing funny songs about complete strangers.

Also, the adorably cute dress I’m wearing in the last photo I got at Zara.
