Halloween is Only 361 Days Away
It’s never too early to plan for next Halloween. It’s only 361 days away and the countdown starts now.
So after 5 or 7 or 9 years of buying costumes, you should have a decent wardrobe for next year. If you have enough, you might be able to take one part from one costume and another part from another costume and even make a ‘new’ costume.
If you don’t have enough bits and pieces to make another costume, this is a great time to ‘buy forward, so to speak.
The Halloween shops have probably closed, packed and vacated your city by now; but if you have a local costume shop, they may or may not be willing to wheel and deal. No merchant wants to carry over their inventory until next season.
Some merchants have up to a 60% off of selected items for a limited time. You might want to take a look before these deals go away. Or check our Amazon Halloween costume store (look for the tab below our banner). If we find any, we will post them today or in a day or so.
And guess what’s coming up soon? More Thanksgiving stuff on our Amazon Store. Click tab right below the banner on top of this page.
Are you the girl next door? The boy next door? Have you all your life been known as “a good kid”? Well, with Halloween right around the corner, this is no time to be polishing your halo. If you’re chronically cute, the trick to looking evil this Halloween is all in the eyes and makeup Forget the costume for now. Without scary eyes and makeup , that vampire outfit is almost useless.
The eyes have it. Smudge your base color on the lid, blending up and out towards the brow till it pretty much just fades away. A nice grey would work well for this. Next you need to intensify that color with a darker color by adding it to the crease of the following the natural curve of the socket. Lighten under the brow line and use a round makeup brush to smudge it the two colors together starting from the outside in. Go easy on your eyeliner and do wear mascara. If you look younger than you are, your eyes will be just right for this look. Makeup does not hold the magical power that a Halloween mask can. They have the ability that will transform you into another place and time whether you want to be a superhero or heroine. By starting with a Halloween costume idea you can be anybody or anything that you desire for one night of the year. From the beginning of time humans wore masks either to worship gods or spirits of the earth. Another regular item for this type a mask would be using bird feathers and creating a beak that would create a haunting bird mask.

Caveat 2 – The first video is more informational, as to how and where to find your local costume shop.
Caveat 3 – The last video may be at the top (as they were loaded sequentially, or not). so you might want to start at the third or fourth down, and work your way back up.

Whether Valentine’s Day falls on a school day or the weekend, a great (and delicious!) way to start the day with your smallest Valentines is with a special breakfast Kids feel extra special when they are being served something just for them. Decorate the kitchen table the night before (after they go to bed) with decorative plates, napkins, cups and decorations, and then plan a menu that everyone will love. You can dye the waffle batter pink with food coloring or berry juice and top them with whipped cream and strawberries — or put a Valentine twist on whatever your family’s favorite breakfast may be. Bows, ruffles and hearts galore
The next step is to place the heart stencil on the cardboard square – carefully trim the excess by following the heart’s shape using the pair of scissors (do this for the rest). Use white paper against the cardboard heart cutout and follow the edges with the scissors again. Include multiple cute messages along the paper heart’s circumference. Glue the paper cutouts to the cardboard – you’ll now have 8 white heart cutouts superimposed on the cardboard ones. Lastly for the finishing touches, glue each crayon heart to the center of each cutout – leave it aside to dry.
If reds and pinks just don’t compliment your skin tone then forget the V-Day garb and revert to childhood with our silly accessories that will free you from any romantic woes, past or present.

The matching red bow and arrow will enable you to aim and fire away at your new love interest. Who could shut down someone disguised as Cupid- the all-encompassing symbol of romance? Chasing anything is often a relationship no-no).
