Nails for days

This might be a girly subject and something I rarely ever do, however for once I decided to get into the spirit of nail art for Halloween. I find this to be fun and some what festive. I gave it a go for myself and found out it wasn't as easy as it seems. It definitely takes some dedication and time! I stuck to lime green aliens, (they were definitely the easiest) and realized that I do not have the patience for perfection when it comes to painting my nails. I have already been thinking about some ideas for Thanksgiving and find myself wondering what type of possibilities there are out there. I then did some research. If you are ever out of ideas, you're really not. The Daily Nail Blog has 365 days of 365 nail designs, one new design every day of the year. Check her blog out and get inspired if you have a little time to spare.

Scents for all seasons

Scents really bring out all four seasons throughout the year. Whether you're into candles, incense, or just handy plug-ins, it really brings out the seasons in all of us. I am a huge fan of candles and my favorite scent would have to be, you guessed it, all the fall scents. Here is a link I stumbled upon: The Top 10 Best Scented Candle Brands in America, along with the authors favorite fragrance. As I looked to see which was the top scent, I found mine right at number one. Yankee Candle brands with their choice of fragrance, as well as mine, Pumpkin Pie. It brings The second on the list is Slatkin and Company from Bath and Body Works, which is a candle brand that is burning in my room right this second with the fragrance of Gingerbread. Take a look at the list and see if your favorite candle brand/scent is listed. If not, what's your favorite?

Blog blog blogs

For our recent assignment, I have been researching more blogs on my topic. I found some awesome blogs and one of my favorites is this one: The Ginngerbread Blog. This blog has a variety of fun. It's filled with plenty of arts and crafts, food/desert recipes, and seasonal decor ideas. What I love about this blog is how this blogger wants to create an interactive atmosphere with her followers. Everyone has a chance to submit your very own creation to her so she can post them to share with everyone else. If you're more of a sweat tooth, check out Cooking Classy: Halloween Jack-O'-Totum Craft and a Huge Halloween Roundup. One of the most creative treats I have ever seen. I plan on trying to cook up some of these for this season.

(clean)Pumpkin fun.

Anyone Can Decorate

  October is recognized by many things but the pumpkin is probably one of the most symbolic. Now, I've never been much of the pumpkin carving type. I'm sure I carved a pumpkin in elementary school before but my memory has slipped a little since then. The first time I officially carved one and remember it was just last year, yes, at twenty-one years old, finally. I thought it was fun, however I wasn't a fan of the mess, smell, and the feel of all those seeds running between your fingers and slipping out of your hands.

  So, for those who aren't a big fan of carving a pumpkin, why not decorate one? On the blog, Anyone Can Decorate, they show you how to create something visual appealing on a pumpkin instead of having to chop up the pumpkin itself. This blog also has a bunch of other Halloween/Fall creations that can be fun for all the family.
