HALLOWEEN: IT’S IN THE BAG

This is your PHriendly reminder that Halloween is just 10 days away!  It’s time to get serious about your costume, lest your plans run…

WHOO-HOO-HOO are you planning to be? Might we suggest an owl? Pinterest is packed with owl-inspired makeup ideas:

Do you know why the owl is a popular Halloween image? In Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be witches, and to hear an owl’s call meant someone was about to die. We say embrace it. Wouldn’t this PHine feathered face be to die for on your front door? Besides, we love owls, year round. They’re only really considered spooky for a month.

 

If your home is more West Elm, than Nightmare on Elm Street (if you ask us, they’re both pretty scary)- consider adding some seasonal subtleties to your décor.

Makeup is an inexpensive way to go for broke at Halloween and transform yourself only from the neck up. You can’t greet tricksters or treaters without doing a little something to change your look, right? Not to worry, the classy peeps over at Time Magazine have compiled a killer collection of historic costume ideas ripe for your perusal on this “Back to the Future” Wednesday.  Still stuck?  The culture vultures over at Buzzfeed have curated a list of options that includes everything from pop culture icons to breakfast food.  What we’re trying to say is, “There’s no need to be scared- the Internet has your back!”
