Freaky and Festive Favourites 2014

     Hey everyone

How was your Halloween this year?
For this post, I want to share with you my favourites for the spooktastic event that is Halloween! Food, costume, decoration, and more are all going to be included!

Food: Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that gets obsessed with the Pillsbury holiday themed sugar cookies! They are so cute and delicious and incredibly festive! Seriously, they have cookies for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and I think they even have cookies themed for Thankgiving. If you want simple but festive Halloween cookies that doesn't take too long to make, the Pillsbury cookies are for you. All you have to do is lay the pre-made cookies onto a baking sheet and bake them in your oven for a dozen of minutes, depending on how you want your cookies to be. And paf! You've got about 24 cookies with a Halloween design on them! Easy huh?

Costume Idea: Okay, so even though this is my favourite costume idea for Halloween, I'm not dressing up as that simply because I don't have the necessary things and I don't want to buy my costume this year. But, my favourite costume idea for 2014 is Vanellope Von Shweetz from Wreck-It-Ralph! Vanellope is so cute and sassy. Her outfit is even more adorable too! I wanted to be Vanellope for Halloween and I thought I had almost all of the same clothes as her but it turns out that I only had a sweater similar to hers and I didn't have a brown skirt or mint coloured tights... Oh well. But Vanellope Von Shweetz was my favourite costume this year!

Decor: My fave decorations this year was the fog machine! They are so cool and if you put it in front of your house, it draws attention and makes it look really spooky and scary. Speaking of scary, another one of my favourites decorations is the blood... I know it sounds creepy when you think about it, but technically it is supposed to be creepy, right? The blood splotches are so... frightening and that's what I love about them! It's like a freaky sensation but you're still drawn to it! I don't know, is it just me?

Movie: I've always enjoyed watching Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire during Halloween. It's pretty old, it was made in 2000 I believe. It feels very nostalgic to me whenever I watch the movie. When I was younger, I used to play detective, or spy or something of the sort. If you've watched the movie, you can kind of get what I'm saying. It involves a vampire hunter and the main characters going on "adventures" like detectives. When I would watch it, I would imagine myself as one of the characters. And you know what? I think I've been watching it every year now..!

Book: This isn't technically a Halloween book, but it's kind of like one because it involves zombies. Can you guess it? Well maybe not because I've only started reading it a few weeks ago. It's Monsters from the Ashes Trilogy! Yup, I FINALLY HAVE A PAPERBACK COPY!! After months, I finally have it within my grasp..! I think it is an appropriate book to read during this time of the year because it's extremely creepy and suspenseful! And gory... I'm lovin' it!

Candy: I have saved the BEST for last!! CANDY! Alright, so my favourite candy for this year... ^_^. is Hi-Chew! They're not your typical Halloween candy. In fact, they're from a Japanese brand! At first it feels like you're chewing gum, but then the candy dissolves. It's very chewy but HIGHLY addicting. I did get quite a lot of Smarties when I went trick-or-treating (yes, I did ^-^).

Anyways, how did you guys spend your Halloween this year? I hung out with my friends and recently discovered that I'm pretty good- no, great- at foosball..! Then I got an overload of Doritos Roulette chips, Sprite, pizza, and homemade pumpkin spice cookies!! And I went trick-or-treating... AWESOME HALLOWEEN FOR ME!

Keep Smiling,
M-L
