You don't have to wear a costume or a tacky headpiece to look festive on Halloween. Whether you feel like you're too old to dress up or simply want to make your Halloween look more glamorous than in your face this year, this spiderweb eye look is pitch perfect.
Mmm mmm. There are loads of things we love about fall - the cooler weather, the leaves changing color, the return of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbuck's - but one of our favorite things is the seasonal comfort food. Soups are a must-have when the temperatures drop, and what better soups to chow down on than pumpkin soup and broccoli soup on a cool fall night?
Nippier fall weather - and the beginner of sweater season - means we're sure to be consuming lots more warm, sweet comfort foods to keep us nice and toasty even when it's dreary outside. From pumpkin spice muffins to warm apple cider, there's a lot to choose from during the fall season.
In our opinion, fake flowers are much better than the real things. While we're never going to turn down a handsome lad knocking at our door with a bursting bouquet of peonies in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other, fake flowers - in origami form - last far longer.
Don't let ripe orange pumpkins have all the fun this fall season. Ready your dinner table for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or just a fun fall get together by drilling a few holes in gourds to make them into candleholders.
