As the internet jokes already mentioned 2020 has kinda been scary enough already. But the time has come for some planned and actually enjoyable scariness as Halloween is here! I love Halloween a lot and I always get so excited when October comes. So here’s to the weirdest scariest and the most awkward Halloween we’ve ever had, thank you 2020!) and I want to share my ideas and how I made the best lemonade out of the Halloween lemons this year.

Costumes and parties

This year the idea of a Halloween party was kinda ruined because we’re in a second wave of quarantune, almost all events are cancelled and we’re all worried about our health. However! this doesn’t mean that all the fun is cancelled! And it shouldn’t because I’ve always loved the quote “only boring people are bored” and I made sure to find ways to decorate, dress up, celebrate, cook some spooky things and make sure I don’t miss at least some of the fun of my fave holiday. Yeah and I’ve been wearing a witchy hat whole week :D Here are some of my favourite Halloween costumes - two from this year and my all time favourite DIY Harley Quinn costumer from a few years ago.

Decor time

No matter what anyone says I think decor is one of the best ways to get into a festive spirit, create a cozy atmosphere and add up to some good memories. And as Halloween gives us many options, I’ve dived into the depths of both decor shopping and decor DIY projects. I barely had time and masked scrolling though crowded shops did not really sound like a great idea but either way I had a little decor shopping spree in Jumbo and Pepco.

Inktober

As an artist I have always loved the artsy Inktober initiative that challenges creators to draw and share inky sketches during the whole month. I have joined with some drawings during the years and it’s always so much fun to get inspired and work but also to see what other artists share. That’s a great trend in social media that I really love, actually. Here are some of my fave inktober works, some are rough sketches but and some are finished works but I really love all these babes and I like how they turned out.

Hope you had a spooktacular Halloween as well!
