Did You Know Some People Call It Beggars' Night?

Halloween is here, and it's time for everyone's favorite activity: picking a costume! Okay, so maybe picking a costume isn't the best part, but once you've got your outfit planned, you can sit back and relax because the only things left to worry about, are the jello shots(which I will be posting my recipe for soon here). This year I decided to be proactive and get an early start on the costume fiasco. Here are a couple tips to make your holiday prep a little less frightful:


  • Plan ahead! There are few halloween plights (that don't include horror film scenarios) worse than not knowing what you're going be four hours before the party you've known about since the last annual Halloween party. Unless you're okay with wearing those old kitty ears from that costume you wore when you were 12, do the leg work early! 
  • Order from Amazon! Seriously, it is SO much cheaper than going to a party supply store. Also, they have a wider range of costumes all in the comfort of your own home. Plus, for all my Prime membership holding compatriots, the shipping only takes 2 days for most items! If you can, use the smile site. A portion of the money you spend will go to charity. Who doesn't like that? 
  • Get creative! There are so many fun things to be! Don't be afraid to do a little gender bending, etc. My best friend does a RAD Malcolm Reynolds, and she's a lady!
  • Get a group of friends to dress up in a theme. Pretty much anything you like can be turned into a halloween costume if you just think outside the slutty nurse costume. (Not that there's anything wrong with a good slutty costume; just make it original!)
  • Have fun! Seriously, what's the point in dressing up like a fool if you're not going to just let go and enjoy being someone else for a few hours. 
Here's the conceptual image for boyfie, pup, and my costumes!
