Monday Memories: Halloween




Happy Reformation Day! Or as some say, Happy Halloween!!

While Halloween may not be my favorite holiday {come on, Christmas!}, I have had some cutesy and quick Halloween costumes in the past that I thought I'd share.


By far, my best Halloween costume to date. Pig in a blanket! Wear lots of pink, make a pig nose and ears {glued onto a plastic headband} out of a styrofoam egg carton, wrap yourself in a blanket, and get ready to "oink!"

A witch is one of the easiest costumes. I had the black dress and pink cardigan on hand, and just picked up a feather boa and matching pink witches hat from the party store! 

I don't like to invest too much in these costumes, so I re-wore a formal dress, and bought a plastic crown and princess gloves from Wal-mart for this beauty queen get up! 

This year, I'm going as Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's, a.k.a. it's Monday and I have to work and it's going to be 86 degrees today so I wore a black shift dress and pearls. 

Happy Halloween!

Beat the Monday Blues, Plan a Cruise!




A beautiful Monday like today has me totally missing the beautiful blue skies and clear waters from our honeymoon cruise. We had such a blast on that trip, that I'm ready to take another so soon! One of my favorite things about cruising is learning more about the boat you're on and on the new "fancy" ones that have just begun sailing. Check out these two videos about some of the amazing new Royal Caribbean amenities aboard some of their newer ships. Who's ready to set sail?
