Our Halloween traditions aren’t necessarily as set-in-stone as our Christmas ones are, but there are a few things I have to do every year, or it just doesn’t feel like the spookiest time of the year. Continue reading “Halloween Traditions”

Very Last Minute Costume Ideas
Your plan was to sit at home, binge watch as many Halloween movies as possible, and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. But then your sister texts you and tells you your niece and nephew want you to come trick-or-treating with them.

And also I have a weird thing about not wanting to see holiday movies when it’s not the holidays and not wanting to see regular movies when it is. Continue reading “My Favorite Halloween Movies”
How to Not Be an Asshole this Halloween
That’s a pretty blunt title, huh? The truth is, I’m tired of seeing so many posts circulating on Facebook and other social media telling people what kinds of costumes they should and shouldn’t wear based on their body-type or skin color.
