Every year I pretty much have my rituals. I go to Linvilla Orchards, I eat apples and pumpkin pie. I watch some of my absolute favorite quirky and scary movies. Ghosts, Witches, ghouls. All things creepy, spooky and sometimes even fun. I connect on a deep level with other Halloween lovers and I’m pretty stoked to share this list with you. Feel free to share your favorite halloween movie in the comments below! 🙂 Before watching any movies below with your children please be sure to check the ratings! These range from TV-G to Rated R, in no particular order. Hocus Pocus basically plays non-stop every year anyway right? Good thing it was my childhood go-to. Besides Millennials rule the world now 😛 . Stephen King’s “IT” the original. (Part one of the new remake has a cool take as well if you haven’t gotten to see it. But doesn’t replace…

If you are crazy about the Wizarding world of Harry Potter the celebration of HP is the absolute most amazing way to get fully immersed that I’ve experienced thus far. Its like going to a marathon showing at the theaters, you’re pretty much guaranteed most of the other people there are die hards too. Why else would someone sit in a movie theater for 8 hours straight or more?! I meet some pretty cool people from around the world. Everyone is stoked about Harry Potter and all things wizardry. The first night we had access to the area after hours and it was glorious. There were dancers in the street. Various performers. There were no lines for the rides. Most importantly there was free butter beer. The demonstrations and talks are pretty awesome. You get the chance to ask questions to some of your wizardry burning questions. Anyone else obsessed…

So I have never really been a big television person. (Less we count my childhood love for cartoons.) I’ve always been a movie type person but here are some shows that give you a movie vibe with every episode you watch. They leave you on the edge of you seat needing more and lets just agree they are pretty darn epic. So I thought I’d share their return date and some of my shows. I might not watch them every week on schedule but hey isn’t that why we have things like TIVO? What shows are you excited about returning?

I haven’t had many purchases as of recent. However, I did order 4 bracelets from a China etsy shop. I figured it would be easiest to simply screen capture my order with the shop details and all. If you click on the information on the right it will show you the details on each item I purchased, the shop name as well as the total price I paid. If you have never visited Etsy or are unsure what it is, Etsy is primarily a site where you can purchase handmade or vintage items. Some sellers are higher quality then others but you can always find treasure if its the style you like. (www.etsy.com) Etsy is one of my favorite places to visit and get ideas. Here are some close ups of the items. (click them to view larger image) Here is the clasp which is similar on all of them While I…

So this is probably my most random blog entry but… have you ever had freeze dried ice cream? For some reason I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it. But I can count on my one hand the times I’ve had some. Twice from the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., twice from The Franklin institute in Philadelphia, and now once from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Perhaps I like it so much because I associate it with these places and childhood who knows. I bought THREE of them when we went to New York City. It took me almost a week to finish them because I was trying to not eat it all at once lol. Each package is one serving of ice cream and for all three I paid $10. But why am I posting this? Because if you go to a museum that has any space type stuff you should see if they have…

Yeah, I’m a book worm. So on a totally unrelated topic from beauty. I read these books, The Hunger Games Trilogy last weekend. The books are a quick, fun read I decided to read one a day. I even read them through my excessively hectic schedule that was last week.  I’ve seen these books for a long time in bookstores but the front of the book never enticed me to read it. I simply thought it was some real life survival book. Which to be totally honest I don’t tend to lean towards those types of books. However, pure fantasy these books are awesome. I can’t believe it took until me seeing the trailer to realize what these books are but hey, better late then never I suppose. So if you are a big reader and are looking for something different to read I would recommend these to you. There’s…
