Halloween has always been my favourite time of
year and I always do a Halloween themed blog post, so of course I just couldn't
let this year go by without doing another one and celebrating the best most
spookiest day of year!
For this post, I've come up with a list of 10
things that I feel really sum up All Hallows Eve and all the things I love
about it. Let me know in the comments witch (pun intended) one's you agree with
and tell me any other things you love about this scary season too :-)
1. The Costumes - I mean how can you not love
them! I've always been a big fan of
dressing up ever since I was a child, I would have fancy dress parties every
birthday and dress up any other time I could. So it was obvious I was still going to LOVE
dressing up for Halloween as an adult too. I've always made all my own costumes for
Halloween and being a crafty person, I love making any little accessories to go
with the outfits as well. If you need
some costume ideas for this weekend, check my two posts here and here for some really
quick and easy ones.
2. The Treats - any excuse for chocolate is good
in my book and Halloween is the perfect time to binge (or is that Christmas, or
birthdays or all three!) :-D
3. Pumpkins - they're fun, they're tasty and just
always look so seasonal. I can honestly
say, so far in my life I have never carved a pumpkin! It's literally one of those 'things to do
before I die' on my life goals list lol
But I do love the way they look with cute or scary faces sat outside lighting
up people's doorways.
4. Scary Stories - My favourite has to be those
little short creepy stories you find on google like; "The scariest thing
to hear is a child laughing... when it's midnight and you're home
alone"!!! Lol I just love that. If you fancy reading my own spooky short
story, have a little look here, hope you like it.
5. Halloween Makeup Looks - I know youtube has
everything from basic novice up to MUA level but, I just love watching how
these makeup looks are done. I did try
to recreate my own one time, let's just say I'll leave it to the
professionals!!
6. Fun For All - One thing that makes me happy
when it comes to Halloween is, it's for everyone at any age. Just because I'm not 6 and don't go around
trick or treating anymore, I can still celebrate it and have fun, plus of
course it's a great chance to scare your friends, which is always fun :-D
7. Spooky Baking - There are SO many amazingly
easy Halloween treats you can make, but my favourite ones are the various
cupcakes and biscuits. I really need to
get back in to baking, there's so many tasty recipes I want to try. But for now, have a look at my Creepy Cupcakes if you fancy
making a little something for your party this year (or just for yourself, that
cool too).
8. Being Scared - No one wants to feel afraid. .
. unless of course it's Halloween and you're having a blast with your
friends! Have any of you ever been to one
of those fright-night, walk-through scare house things? I did one once and it was so creepy and so
cool :-D Definitely give that a go if
you get the chance. Just try not to be
the person right and the back, you've been warned!
9. Halloween Decorations - This one has to be
one of the best things about Halloween and since I was a kid, they have got SO
much bigger, better and fancier! A few
years ago my friend and I had a great time bargain hunting in the shops and we
got loads of amazing bits and bobs to do up her house for a party, mostly from
Poundland, Wilko and Asda, as they always have great stuff. But the following year, I decided to save us
some money and make my own. So if you
fancy getting crafty, have a look at my Easy DIY Halloween Decorations post for loads of ideas, because decorating your house for
Halloween has to be one of the most fun things to do ever!
10. And finally HORROR MOVIES :-D - Quite
possibly one of my favourite things in life are horror films!! You cannot beat a good spooky horror, whether
it's an old classic like Hocus Pocus, Poltergeist or The Fog, or something newer
and even creepier like Mama, The Conjuring or The Woman in Black (all favs that
I highly recommend by the way!) Get on
Netflix or bring out all your favourite old dvds and binge watch until you're
too scared to walk around your house in the dark :-) You're welcome!!
Whatever you do this year, have a really great
Halloween and until next time, Stay Spooky ♥
