Putting Together the Perfect Halloween Costume
If you're going to a costume party or some other event for Halloween, you probably want to really impress everyone with your costume. And the best type of costume is one that will really let you get into character - something that you feel proud to be wearing.
You can put together your own costume or buy one of the cheap ones that you'll find at your local drug store, but to really go the distance and get a great costume it pays to get it through a professional costume store. Whether you rent it or buy it, you'll be a lot happier with the results.
A good costume store won't try to sell you more than you need. They'll help you to find a costume that suits both your needs and your budget. They'll also make sure you're familiar with how to don the costume, and any other accessories or makeup that goes along with it.
To really make a splash at the costume party, you want to go all the way with your costume. Don't cut corners and try to save a few dollars by going with something cheaper or not as complete.
Get all the accessories you'll need - makeup, props, a quality mask, etc. Having the complete package will make your costume that much more realistic (and will make it that much harder for your friends to recognize who you really are!)
If you're not sure exactly what accessories you'll need, do a little research. Are you thinking of going as an elf from The Lord of the Rings? Watch the movies again to pick up all the details in the costumes.
Or perhaps you want to be a pirate this year? The Pirates of the Caribbean movies can give you a ton of good ideas for your costume.
Take the time to get all the details just right and you'll be the talk of the party - even if nobody knows who you really are!

Add Fall Style to Any Room in a Day
Adding the autumnal warmth to a room can mark the change in seasons for the entire family, ushering in football, holidays, and cups of cocoa after school. And it can be easy, dramatic, and inexpensive! Follow these three simple steps to take any (or every!) room in your home from summer simple, to fall fabulous in just one day!
Step One- Add rich, warm color! Whatever your main wall color is in your room, paint your focal wall a deep shade of that color. No major color scheme change here, everything you already have in that room will still work because you are just amping up the present color scheme. For instance, if your walls are a pale peach, paint your focal wall a rich terra cotta. Light sage? Paint that focal wall a deep warm green. Just have white walls? Here is your chance to develop a color scheme and bring a lot of warmth into your room. Pick any one color you love, plus white, and you have a color scheme! Still love your white walls? Then paint the focal wall a rich cream, or even a chocolate brown. Remember, its just paint, and you can always paint it back in an afternoon with a cheap can of paint!
Step Two- Change out a few of your accessories pick up a couple of candles in your new rich focal wall color and set them out on a pretty plate, or add just one throw pillow to the couch and chair in that color. Pick up some ribbon in that hue and use it to tie back curtains, or wrap it around pillows a few times and tie with a pretty bow. Add a throw blanket from the linen closet draped over the easy chair, and a stack of books on the end table to read on a cool night. You dont need to go buy out the home section, just add a few quick touches to warm up the room.
Step Three_ Add nature! Nothing says the harvest season like displaying the fruits of natures bounty in your home. Set out a bowl full of nuts and nestle a candle in the middle, scatter pressed fall leaves over your mantel or coffee table, or tie branches into bundles, add some dried flowers and hang over doorways. Display fruits and veges on your kitchen counter or take the kids on a nature walk and fill a large clear jar with gifts from Mother Nature. (Always follow laws about collecting, however).
There you go, three quick steps and in one day youve created a room for your loved ones that breathes the comfort and cozyness of fall!
