I'm Baaackk!

Hello out there blogging world.

Well here we are 4 months after my last post, where I said I was going to blog more. Guess I dropped the ball on that one, oopsie. But here I am again to say, I am going to try, and feel free to pester me in the comments if I don't get back to it soon. 

Right now my darling boyfriend Sam is here with me staying for the month. We're in the middle of a blizzard right now and let's be honest for a minute here. Winter sucks, majorly majorly sucks. The storm isn't even over yet and there's a drift halfway up the kitchen window and climbing, I doubt by the end of the night we'll be able to see out the window at all haha. 

But anyways enough about the doom and gloom that is winter, lets talk about the doom and gloom that was this last Friday the 13th! 

As I said my boyfriend is here right now so we decided to do a little creepy Friday the 13th/Valentines day photo shoot for some fun and I thought I'd share some of my favorite ones here. 

Sorry this post is so photo heavy I just really loved these. We even managed to get Ollie in on the act and his face in that last photo is just so perfect. 

My Sam just started up his own blog The Haunter is in so you should go check him out, for a touch more of the dark quirkiness. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day and that the winter is treating you well so far. I will be back soon with another post. 

Until then, have a wonderful day!

What to Wear - Haaallllloowwwwweeeeeennnn costume

Helloooo all my little witches and demons!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

So it's What to Wear time again and we're showing off our Halloween costumes. I love Halloween it is probably my favorite holiday. I love dressing up, I honestly have no plans other then watching silly movies and eating to much junk food. We don't get trick or treaters at our house, but oh well. 

I threw this costume together honestly. I had planned to dress up as Wednesday Addams but I didn't take up the dress in time. I wore almost this outfit one day and I got told I looked like a doll so I decided just to go with that and play it up. 

So if you have a music box start that up now, because I feel like creepy dolls and music boxes go together.

anyways onto the overly edited photos!  

Shirt, Thrifted, 50 cents

Dress, Thrifted, XXI, 25 cents

Shoes, Marden's, Maker's, 10$

Socks, Kmart, 1$

Wig, Marden's, ???

Gotta have a photo of our pumpkins right?

So I basically did an awful job on the make up and decided to over edit the photos, but hey I really like dressing up as a doll, it was fun!

Oh and a side note, I finally fixed my comments so that anyone can comment, because I have had at least 3 people tell me they couldn't comment after it updated itself to Google+, so I finally got around to fixing that. I am a horrible blogger when it comes to fixing stuff like that!

Oh and I tried pumpkin eggnog for the first time yesterday and oh my gosh! It's amazing! It taste like someone put a pumpkin pie in a blender with eggnog, I highly suggest finding some to help you celebrate!

If you want to add your Halloween spirit to the link up head over to Nicole's blog Gypsy in Jasper and add your link, and don't forget to check out all the other ghouls looks!

And if you want to link up next time we'll be back on November 14th for What to Wear: Mixing Patterns!

Oh and can you believe that tomorrow is November? It's crazy!

So what are all of you up to for Halloween?

Have a spooktacular day!

Friday the 13th

Hello there my pretties

Well as most of you have probably noticed, today is Friday the 13th! Plus Halloween is sneaking closer. And in honor of that I'm putting together a little list of some great weird and spooky things 

Here are two creepy Youtube series, that I just love!

The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is a great not to scary paranormal web series. It follows a girl who makes videos about the ghosts that seem to follow her around. It is kind of a silly series, but it's strangely addictive and it makes you want to keep watching. I'd start at the first season which you can find HERE 

Marble Hornets  Is a web series that honestly always get's my heart pumping, and probably gets me jumpier then it should. It has to do with the myth of slender man, which I am not a huge fan of, but this did draw me in and make me want to see what happens next. I don't really know how to explain it. I think it's one of those things you have to watch to understand. You can find the introduction HERE and the first entry HERE

I'm not a huge fan of scary movies, but here are some spooky and weird movies I love.

Night of the Living Dead (1968), I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it when I was about 13. I honestly have to say I laugh a lot during it. sure parts of it scare me and make me jump a bit, but mostly I find it wonderfully tacky. Hulu has it and a whole bunch of other great old movies to stream for free! You can find Night of the Living Dead HERE

The House on Haunted Hill (1959), I haven't watched this movie since last Halloween, but I remember loving it an I'm sure I'll watch it again this year! Hule has this movie for free as well, they have the color version  HERE but I personally prefer the black and white one which you can find HERE

And Then There Were None (1945), Is probably my all time favorite movie. It isn't really scary, but it's a great mystery, I mean it's based off an Agatha Christie book, how could you go wrong? I couldn't find this on Hulu or anything, but I know I've seen the full movie on Youtube. The movie is in the Public Domain so it shouldn't be hard to find a place to watch it.

Spooky and weird facts:

1. In 1386, a pig in France was executed by public hanging. it was accused of murdering a child.

2. The nursery rhyme "Ring a ring o'roses" supposedly refers to the black plague.

3. A human head can stay conscious for up to 25 seconds after being decapitated.

4. There is supposedly an island off of Italy, that was the sight of wars, a dumping ground for plague victims and an insane asylum. It is considered to be dangerously haunted. So much so that the Italian government does not allow t he public to access it.

5. The head of King Henry IV of France was found preserved in an attic back in 2010.

Okay so this isn't something spook or weird or anything like that. But I found this blog called My Happy Place and she has a bunch of really amazing recipes for fast quick single serving recipes, I am in love with this bownie that you make in the microwave (I made mine with coffee flavored yogurt and it was amazing). You can find all of her posts about single serving recipes HERE
I know that isn't creepy, but I think that well you're watching scary movies or Youtube series these would be awesome to snack on. And they seem like great fall treats. Because you know fall is all about comfort foods.

So anyways I'm off to get some chores and stuff done.
I hope you all survive through this Friday the 13th!
