It was the busiest and best Halloween trick-or-treating any kid or adult could ask for! Whether you’re decorating your house and yard, and handing out treat bags, or if you’re throwing an adults-only Halloween costume party, here are some great Halloween ideas. Take some outdoor decoration ideas from This Silly Girl’s Life. If you live in a small neighborhood and don’t get many trick-or-treaters, then maybe handing out goodie bags might be a good idea.

My 101 Things in 1001 Days List

April 24, 2016 7 Comments

For the past two hours, I have been perusing Pinterest, clicking on links, and reading blog posts by other bloggers about fashion, beauty rituals, Coachella, as well as watching a few DIY and “how-to” videos.
