i'm throwing a beach house party for my birthday (TSITP theme) | intense 1 week prep

I am actually chronically obsessed with the summer I turned pretty. So it was only right to make my birthday party. The summer Natalie turned 22. I'm renting out a giant Airbnb by the beach, something that looks very Cousins Beach like, and I'm inviting all of my friends.

I've never thrown an event like this for my friends, and we're going to put everything together and bring my best DIY self.

Let's go.

We've got a visitor.

Hello!

It's Simmy! Hello! And apparently I love my friend so much, I got her some matcha, and then I got her a lemon puffy sea muffin. Aw, that's literally so nice of you.

And it's a big size too.

Yeah, it's literally the largest.

♪♪♪

We're gonna work on the planning. So we need to figure out kind of like everything that we're gonna make and that way when we go shopping for all this stuff we don't just like buy a bunch of random stuff so simi actually made a to-do list shop for the birthday fit which we don't have a inspo for that yet right girl i already came up with the pinterest board ready oh my gosh i literally love that that's our pinterest board oh my gosh this is beautiful wait simi give me edit access, bro. Get Cricut. Materials. Materials.

Combs need you coming in quick. This is our inspo for the baking stuff. So we need to get stuff that kind of like matches that. We have some stores to go to. Let's go. First stop is Hobby Lobby.

We're hoping to get all of our craft items because they do have 40% off. How did we already find something? These are literally beautiful and they're screaming with some right hand. These are so cute, I wish we could find more.

I'm probably just gonna ask

because I'm sure they have some in the back. So they're so beautiful. Look what we found. This is the actual pattern we were looking for. We're gonna take those to put them in the kitchen. When we're filming it'll look really pretty. Like the house it's gonna set the tone. This is perfect. This is literally perfect like a cute little bowl I feel like I don't I can't think of a use for this me either

So maybe put it back just until we can think of something. I'm just trying to find like a place for these This is perfect where we're gonna put the cake we could put this one on the side and maybe put like Yeah, we'll figure it out. Well this one's actually pretty cute to fit for cupcakes or cookies.

Yes!

Cause it's a riser, see, so we could put like, I think cupcakes would be perfect on this. Instruction paper, big ol' roll to make the poster that we have in mind. We're just going through the inspo right now as we are going

These are literally perfect these are so freaking cute look at these are all such beach vibes

What else are we missing for that bracelet station?

We show up with beads and no string okay string all right, we're gonna get this string We have found the perfect perfect tote bags. Well, bag, because there's only one. But both of these, just one of these and then two of these. But I will hunt them down. Like, if it takes going to every single hobby lobby in the world, we will frickin' drive. We were successful.

We got everything that we needed.

It's looking good.

It's actually, this is like the most prepared I've ever been. Hi vlog, I'm still in the vlog for today. I'm taking over, Nat's in the restroom right now. So I'm just browsing through this section right here

to shop for some other stuff that we need.

We're at Target. We're looking for disposable cameras we just got. I unfortunately already lost to the home section, like home section one, Nat zero. Look at how beautiful. Perfect, Fujifilm, yeah that's the one right? One time use camera so you take one picture and then it's done or what?

Imagine it's like a one picture and then boom, done!

Just possible.

We're on our way to another Target. Okay guys they opened a new Target and it's supposed to be like a super Target which is like a huge Target. And we're hoping that we'll find some really cute stuff there. We pretty much have like a lot of things that we need already. But it doesn't hurt to shop.

Yeah, it doesn't hurt to just look and see if there's anything else. Simi hasn't finished the Summer I Turned Pretty. You need to watch that tonight.

Like you have to get on it.

I sent it in the group. It means Simi saw something. Can I have a skit with a little mayonnaise, please?

I just love supporting my mom.

Me trying to justify, to be honest.

But my mom always screams at me to carry cash. This is the reason why. One mango and one of the others.

Wow, Simi fluent that one. Look at these crisp carts. Brand spanking new with the baby seat. My future niece or nephew is gonna sit there. Flooring is giving Walmart a little bit. It's fine, she's new. She's literally glossy as we speak.

I think I should have a new forehead.

The way the water bottles are like perfectly placed. It catches my brain literally so good. We have to take her out of this aisle before she buys something. I know, I hate coming to the water bottle aisle. That's like my weakness. water bottle aisle will win. Four micellar waters for the girls

to take off their makeup at night. Those are super cute, let's grab some of those. Sunscreen and micellar water, I think those are gonna be the only minis that we take.

We've got goodies.

We've got this clear little box where I'm gonna put all of my little charms that we bought in here.

You guys get anything?

Yeah, bracelets.

Seashell bracelets?

Yeah. I'm thinking of in here to put the goodies that we had bought, like the micellar and like the sunscreen. I think it would be really cute to put them in here. We did get some cardstock and we're going to use this for our bingo cards. We're literally going to DIY a bingo card. We're going to be building this bingo card on Canva. Or we can buy one on Etsy for $2, Simran. Dude, that would make your life so much easier.

You know how much time we would save? But also, how fun if we can customize our own, you know? This one's $6. Let's go back to the $2 one. Wait, this screenshot we can make it on Canva and it's free. You would never do that to small artists, Simran.

Okay, wait, this one i like oh my gosh can we please do this etsy sign and the population we could put it at like seven are you writing a script a script babe we're doing bingo it said it like six times in the past like

10 minutes this is how we know he hates us and then do flashback to cousins beach what's that Babe, we're doing bingo! We've said it like six times in the past like ten minutes.

This is how we know he hates us.

And then do flashback to Cousins Beach.

What does that have to do with bingo?

Oh...

Somebody shoot him! We did it. Now we're just gonna grab this card and shuffle all the boxes around and come up with seven other cards. Some will be winners, some will be losers. We cooked that shit up, Simran. We did it. We cooked that shit up. Period. 10, 19.

And Simmy just left. We were able to finish the bingo and the invitations that we started on our itinerary, but we're just gonna finish up tomorrow because it's a really long day and if we don't get some sleep,

we're all gonna be cranky tomorrow. Party planning continues tomorrow. Good night! Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Oh no. This is what I'm thinking for outfit. Bodysuit. I'm trying to decide between shorts or if I want to wear jeans. I have these super cute Free People jeans that I bought last year in Utah and they're kind of cute. I don't know if I love it. It's cute but let me try it with shorts.

Twelve seconds later. With a short.

I don't like neither. I am running out of time. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do a slick back and call it a freaking day Although I woke up like early. I don't know why my time always runs out on me not late, but I do want to make coffee I'm so excited to finish all of this planning today. We are working a week in advance So technically the Airbnb is until next week on Saturday and today's Sun just feels like it's coming together

And that is a lot of things shout out to T-ball. That's my sign. I am I'm officially a real rancher

Peak unemployment. Do you see the other unemployment over there? Look, yeah, you're walking over here because you know! Move, bitch! That was on. I'm doing a mixture of a pump of hazelnut and a pump of my brand new banana syrup. Okay, that's actually, that smells exactly what I thought it would smell like. For these kind of like lattes, I'm gonna do a mixture of whole

with a little splash of oats.

A little splash of oats. A little splash of oats.

A little splash of you. Mission one, come to my parents' house and pick up my cricket. I left it here literally like five years ago and it's somewhere in their garage. Now I have to find the damn cricket. So let's go dig through my parents' stuff

and just see if I can find this damn cricket. ♪ The home of the deep in his heart ♪

Ah!

Tito, you're so mean! Oh my gosh, I wish I would have been filming but I didn't think someone was gonna pop out of the shadows So guys I'm here on a mission. We need to find my cricket. And I don't know where it is. So everybody...

What's a cricket?

Cricket is nuts.

We found it! Now that we've got our cricket, in order to make it work we need our tools. And as it turns out Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays. I didn't know that! So now we're going to Michael's. Let's go. I never thought we'd get to see crafty Nat in action, but like, look at me.

I lost count of how many hobbies I've picked up. I'm also meeting Simmy here. Wait, there's so much cute fall stuff here. Wait, I definitely need to come fall shopping here. There's so many cute things.

Boo!

Hi, Simmy.

Hi.

I'm gonna buy it. I love that shirt so much We're here for birthday outfit, but that shirt is beautiful. So imagine writing T-Pone in it Wait, we found a potential because this is again our inspo. It doesn't look like Abercrombie has any of that stuff anymore It's giving more fall honestly.

Oh, that's cute.

Yeah, that actually is cute. I love that.

Is that giving like summery?

Yes.

What do you think?

I don't know if I love it, but I love this shirt.

I would love it if I could just show up like this.

Let's see. Hold on. Don't knock it till we try it, Simmi. Wait, they're actually like really cute.

I love that.

This is gonna be the logo that is on the tote bags. It looks so freaking cute and it's just so on theme. We did put the name of everyone who's going, so it's like a very custom. Once I put it onto the design space, this is kind of what it looks like. So now we're gonna size it.

What you see on here, the grid, that's kind of what we needed this guy for. That'll give me like a scale of how big I want it.

♪♪♪

I messed up. I was supposed to put the shiny side down, but they both look shiny to me! But apparently, the shiny side is this side. We're borderline ready to crush up.

The vinyl one, I lost.

🎵

We're doing this right, dude. We cannot afford another fuck-up.

🎵

It is 10 p.m. It feels like our days are going by so fast, but these DIY arts and crafts, they just take so long. So Simi's going back home and she's taking the poster. She can finish the sketching and we can actually paint it. At least we got half of our itinerary done and we got our invitations done and our bingo cards and we figured out the cricket Hey! That's progress! We did it

Ish

Good night, Siby We will see you

One eternity later

1108

Are we dead ass?

Oh my gosh, why did we ever do a cursive font? Our names don't even look like our names anymore because I completely ruined it with this little picker. But I don't even care, I'm so irritated like I could remove the entire name right now and not give a damn. Then do it. Do it. You are really dumb. This is our little item right here. Please, please work. I don't even care if it's not set, that's how over it is. But you know what makes me so happy? The thong. Yeah, that's it. But the thought, I didn't spend $20 for these custom totes. Talk about money saving. 320 with medium pressure for 15 seconds. Okay.

Ah!

Did you go?

I'm not going to go.

Babe, did you not pre...

Five, four, happy!

Wait, wait!

Cousins Beach, that's her last name?

No, Cousins Beach is where the show takes place.

Oh. Yeah! Yeah!

Let's keep doing this! A little bit more heat, I heard it has to be warm.

Three, two, one, blast off!

Dude!

Wait, no, we can't count our victory yet.

No, it's not sticking.

Bitch!

You better stick!

It literally says, fire.

Where does it say that?

Just kidding.

Oh, literally the middle part of the A is still on the paper. You know what, it gives them charm.

All right, next.

I succeeded with those three and I failed with that one. It does not wanna peel off. I've been going at it for like 10 minutes and I think I just put way too much heat on it already.

It's too far gone.

Someone who's tote bag is.

Oh, that's Simi's too. Look it, I doesn't you see It just doesn't work. This is my sign to call it a night I'm, just too tired to do this and my freaking head hurts from arts and crafts and my house looks like a mess and I Just i'm overstimulated. So i'm going to bed. Good morning world I am getting ready really really fast. Simi is around two minutes away, which is freaking crazy Because I feel like she just texted me that she was like on her way and she's already here

We are finishing up all of the birthday prep, today is Thursday Okay, we leave on our trip Saturday, so we have 2 days worth of prep But we want to finish everything today Honestly, so far it's looking really, really good Jake and my dad yesterday spent all day working on our really pretty balloon garland I'm so excited to see what it looks like but yesterday they got pretty far. This looks so good

It looks perfect to me finish the tracing back at home day three We're going. We are about one hour, no, we're like two hours into this poster and this is kind of where we're at. The letters are pretty much all done, working on the shell, but we still have the border and the hydrangeas left. I think we underestimated how long this is gonna take oh I feel like my neck my back literally everything hurts. It is 4 or 6 p.m Literally, so we got here at 9 a.m. And we've been painting ever since 11 a.m. I have a headache

I feel like I want to throw up we have an 8 and we are literally Finally done except not really because we have to paint that bow in the poster that we're copying they have like blue hydrangeas on the side which we're not gonna paint we literally ran out of white paint like completely so that's it we're gonna work on cute little makeup baggies look at how freaking cute and Simi actually wowed a few days ago and bought more yeah yeah I went to like two to three different places

please I need my good luck to come kick in today because I need to find them because I want the rest of the girls to have like they're genuinely so stinky cute. Guys I found them! I found two more. I look like I need one or two more and we might have to go to another Hobby Lobby. Colourpop sent me these little lip balms and they're so freaking cute so we're gonna add these. Our micellar waters. Lastly, our beach sunscreen. We just got little minis of 70, which I think is gonna be perfect

because it's gonna be so hot this weekend. Oh, 100% worth the hunt. They're literally perfect. Oh no, I'm serious, Jake. You think this is easy work?

This took us so long.

No, it looks like bougie. I feel that it was all so worth it. Look at these bingos. Now we're just gonna cut them out, but they're so perfect. Literally everything that I ever wanted and more.

Simmy, it worked!

It's literally perfect. Alrighty, one more thing off of the checklist. Now I've got seven more to go. She looks so perfect.
