Happy Halloween, Boils & Ghouls!

🎃👻🍬

I feel like a broken record every time I express how confused or disoriented I am with grasping the concept of time lately (and how quickly we just went through October…) We’re at the end of the month already, and I feel it was only yesterday that October arrived.

Either way, regardless of this cold bowl of time soup warping my sense of reality, I’m so excited that Halloween is here and also that we get to celebrate it on a Friday!

It’s The Best Time of the Year

Since moving to a new area in town, I’ve truly been appreciating my neighborhood and the insatiable energy I get from walking around and exploring all the different houses and parks that are nearby. I was especially excited for Halloween this year, to get a chance to see how everyone decorates their houses for the spooky season, and let me tell you, my neighbors did not disappoint!

I’ve always verbally said “Christmas” when meaning to refer to Halloween (don’t ask) and I think it’s because deep down inside, Halloween gives me the energy that Christmas gives to others. And seeing houses decked out in lights and inflatable ghouls make my creepy heart so full. Just the sheer amount of effort and commitment put into some of the Halloween decor is truly impressive!

Unfortunately, we were getting rained on hard earlier here on the East Coast, so I’m not entirely sure how we will fare with Trick ‘or Treaters tonight, but I do hope to get to see some cute costumes this evening!

This Year’s Halloween Costume

Every year, I (casually) dress up at the office for the spooky festivities. Last year’s Helly from Severance costume was pretty good, and Daria the year before that was actually quite epic! But this year, I was finally able to create one of my favorite costumes to date…

Here’s a hint if you’d like to guess:

Who am I?

Mothman

I’m so freaking happy with how my costume turned out! I made and taped my antennas to my headset so every meeting I joined, I could just “lurk” curiously in the background… and my red shades weren’t too much of a headache to wear as they were removable when I didn’t want to see the world in reddish hues.

Hands down, this was one of the best office costumes I’ve done so far in my eight years of dressing up for Halloween there 😈

Blessed Samhaim!

Do you celebrate the magic of the season? 🕯️ How do you tend to recharge your energy during this time?

Tonight shall be filled with plenty of horror books and films, as I must satisfy the morbid curiosities, but I also want to do a yoga routine by candlelight, also lighting some incense and placing some crystals around to transition into the new season in a calm, intentional and peaceful state of mind in celebration of Samhain 🪷

While searching for a YT video to follow, I found this perfect Yoga for Witches sequence to practice later tonight and incredibly grateful to have found Bethany’s online presence and yoga videos. Ever since I finished reading Yoga for Witches at the beginning of this year, I’ve been really wanting to really balance my yoga routines with my witchcraft.

And as it’s a super special and sacred Friday, I thought we could throwback our ol’ tradition of featuring weekly fierce and fabulous Friday Fashion Icon energy…
