My dad, who is a retired artist, loves to go all out for Halloween and create one-of-a-kind Halloween costumes. I told him I wanted to be an emoji for Halloween (he still has no clue what an emoji is) and build me this heart eyes emoji costume out of cardboard and paper. He used an … Read more
We wanted to do something fun and different. We also wanted to be comfortable. We were in college so on a budget and found these white painter pants at Home Depot and white undershirts at Target. We got fabric scraps to make the letters. We had so much fun but it was not easy sticking … Read more

This Halloween, I basically forgot the holiday existed until about a week before. I’m not sure why, since I spent hours on Pinterest pinning cute costumes and crafts, but I realized I had no costume – severely disappointing.

This has to be the most fun costume that I have ever been a part of! It was so simple. All we did was buy a five pack of men’s shirts, a pack of different colored headbands, and a large sharpie. The hardest part was definitely writing our letters of the shirts. It took forever … Read more
I found out last minute that I needed to wear a costume to work on Halloween and couldn’t find all the pieces to my “Progressive Insurance Flo” costume from two years ago. I needed something that wasn’t scary or required lots of time to put together in the morning. As I stood looking dejectedly at … Read more
The “Ermahgerd” girl on the internet CRACKS ME UP! So I decided to be my idol for Halloween! All I did was take some books, print out the Goosebumps covers to some of them, and tape them onto the books I already had! Luckily I had almost the same shirt as she has in the … Read more
