Waited until the last minute for Halloween costumes? Slim pickings at your local store? Fear not, there are TONS of easy, DIY costumes that you can make cheaply and easily to make for a happy kid to go trick or treating in. Here’s some of my favorites:
Don’t overpay for this popular costume when it can be made in such a more original, budget-friendly way. These are so awesome!
Minion [http://www.makeandtakes.com/last-minute-despicable-me-minion-costume]
Cut your pipe cleaners to whatever length you desire. Luckily, each minion has a slightly different look, so you can be as creative as you like. Thread through the knit hat, go slowly and it should slip right in! Bend the pipe cleaners so they stick up however you like.
To make the goggles:
Cut off a small section of the paper tube, 1/2 inch thick. If you cant two eyes, you can cut another section as well. Paint them silver and allow to dry. Once dry, staple together in the center. To attach to the elastic, simply staple as well. You can place on your face, or even on the hat on the forehead.
Wear a yellow long sleeve shirt, blue overalls, black gloves + boots, and you are GOOD TO GO. Minion! Thanks, MakesAndTakes.com!
This is an awesome last minute costume idea, and cute to boot.
Spider [http://madincrafts.com/last-minute-spider-costume-and/]
Pretty easy and self-explanatory, but here’s the jist of things: Stuff the pairs of black knee socks full of plastic grocery bags, attach to hoodie – if you aren’t comfortable with a quick sew, feel free to safety pin or even duct tape. To the hood, attach adhesive white dots and glue on the googly eyes. Slap on the gloves, zip up the hoodie, and voila, you’re a spider. Thanks to MadInCrafts.com for this adorably scary getup.
I can’t get over the cute of this costume, brought to us by OhHappyDay.com – so very adorable!
Snail [http://ohhappyday.com/2012/10/snail-costume/]
First, make the shell. Crumple up the paper, and starting at the corner, begin rolling it. Once you have a nice section, begin wrapping into a shell, until it is at desired size. Go back and redo with the glue gun to secure it in a few places. Next, make another half shell, and glue the two sides together. Take a square of cardboard and mount it to the shell. Tie ribbon to it to make it a nice little backpack!
Next, make the headband – take a dection of brown paper and crumble until it can stand on it’s own. Add styrafoam to the end, and hot glue the other end to the headband. So cute, so easy. Love this!
If any of you try these out please send over some pictures! We’d love to see how you all look!

What is a Beard Wipe you ask? Me too. Had to check this out and do my due diligence – but this is such an awesome idea for anyone out there who has, is married to, or has given birth to someone with a beard!
Zeke’s Beard Wipes is giving out free wipes – they are a MOBILE BEARD BATH (marketing genius) and are made with jojoba oil, coconut oil, and argan oil to keep you feeling fresh and moisturized. They sold out of their 1000 free samples so fast, but are so eager to get people trying that they are continuing their promotion so long as you cover the shipping cost. When you do, they’ll include a discount code with your beard wipe to reimburse you for this shipping cost for your next order at ZekesBeardWipes.com.
They promise to turn your beard into “something magnificent” – give it a shot people, I think they’re on to something.
The World Series are officially off to a start!
In Game 1 of the World Series, Lorenzo Cain stole a base. But really, he stole A.M. Crunchwraps for all of America. Because of this stolen base, you can run into Taco Bell on Thursday, November 5 between 7-11 am to score your free A.M. Crunchwrap.
Not a bad deal! #stealabreakfast

Who says kids are the only ones who could use a coloring book?
Bustle.com says that coloring books for adults have become the latest trend, and one that is actually good for you. Coloring is an activity that relaxes the amygdala, the fear center of the brain, and allows your mind to get the rest it needs. Huffington Post states that, in simplest terms, coloring has a de-stressing effect because when we focus on a particular activity, we focus on it, and not on our worries. It brings us to a childhood-like state when worries were hard to come by, and we can use this to enter a more creative, freer state. Coloring, additionally, is a way to connect with how we feel, since depending on our mood, we choose different colors or intensity.
Get free, printable templates here to experiment with! These templates include everything from specific designs for anti-stress to simple classifications, ex) vintage, vegetation, graffiti – whatever suits your mood. Go grab yourself a box of Crayolas and go to town!
