Delightful Halloween Hard-Boiled Eggs...and they're easy too!

Today I had a half day at work. Usually my days start around 1 and I don't get back home till 10 or 11, but today was an early day and I was done by noon!!! I usually never have free afternoons, so I  FINALLY had time to do a Halloween craft. I kinda killed two birds with one stone with this craft... but that's a good thing over here. My boyfriend and I eat hard-boiled eggs on the daily and I remembered my girl Martha had done a show about decorating hard-boiled eggs for Halloween. Here's a link to the article on her website, for the tl;dr crowd this is what they looked like:

Mine do not look a thing like this. I wish they did but I decided to let Martha shine with her little bewitched, bejeweled overachiever hard-boiled eggs. My eggs are for the more modest, gotta have dinner done by six crowd.

I just used Sharpies and it literally took me about 30 minutes. Minus the Punisher egg though, I did that just for my boyfriend because he's going to be so stoked to find it packed away in his lunch tomorrow. That darn egg took me about 45 minutes to do...girlfriend of the year award please!

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Costume Ideas Part-I



I love the movie Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, big hair, murder, comedy, music, and boobs galore! But my favorite thing about this movie has to be the outfits! I personally don't go to Halloween stores to buy prepackaged costumes. I like to go to different stores and piece together my outfit to give a personal touch that only I will be seen in. I also purchase items I can wear after Halloween that fit into my daily wardrobe.

So this outfit may appear incredibly random, but if you've seen the movie it might look quite familiar. I found the dress and shoes at lulus.com and the shades at forever21.com. The complete outfit runs you at about $100 which is what a prepackaged costume would cost. Only this costume you can wear outside of Halloween. 



This last outfit/costume idea has nothing to do with Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, I'm random like that. Dress and thigh-highs from lulu*s, shoes from forever21.com. The witches hat I randomly found on google search (because every girl should have a spare witches hat packed away in the closet).

I still have yet to "officially" decide what I am dressing up as!!!

Keep it Classy Halloween

We are going this evening to pick out some pumpkins. We usually just paint our faces on each pumpkin, then carve them out on Halloween Eve. But I found these pumpkins today and fell in love! Hopefully I can find some white pumpkins, if not I'll just paint them.

Sticking to the white decor theme I also found some creepy doll-head candles. I'm not sure where they are from but I imagine they'd be quite easy to make if you're crafty like that.
 Lastly, I have ALWAYS wanted to dress up like a ghost for Halloween. It would be so fun if Matt and I did this costume (his in black) and remained incognito all night.


Alright , I'm fixin to make some wassel for the pumpkin patch trip. Which is funny because it's 85 degrees outside...but whatever I'm in the mood for some cold weather adult drinks.

Delightfully yours,

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!

I am really excited for this weekend because I will actually be able to have time to try some recipes out, decorate a pumpkin, and finish decorating my apartment! I am however very sad that I can't make it to my little sisters baby shower :( Hope she's not reading this because it's supposed to be a surprise and was just planned the other day which is why I'm unable to make it. But if she is, I'm just kidding Megan, you're not having a baby shower...

Moving on, I found a couple of cute Halloweenie type things that I will definitely be purchasing/making this weekend. Enjoy!



Funny thing is, these shot glasses have a limit of 6 per household. Not cool!

Hallow-Mickey


So, I didn't make a ghoustly pizza. But I will this weekend! Instead I remembered how my mom always let me watch Mickey Mouse the Haunted House, like everyday until Halloween. I actually used to think this movie was really scary!

Slipping on the Halloween

This is going to be a super fast/random post about cool Halloween stuff. I was pretending to work today and found some really cute Halloween type thingy's. 
This shaw is super cute. I wouldn't wear it, but I'd compliment someone that did.

A spine candle! How fun! 
Ichabod Crane!!!!! Love this idea! I read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow last night. Never EVER gets old.


I'm supposed to make a "ghostly" pizza tomorrow night for my boyfriend because he's a brat and said I "NEED" to. We shall see.

Delightfully yours
