Cheyenne of CDB Nails and Beauty and Lisa of Cosmetic Sanctuary will also be holding giveaways for $15 off coupon codes.

My all time favorite holiday is Halloween and it has always been my goal to one day turn my garage into a haunted house for trick or treaters. Three year ago, I finally made it happen! My family and I made an awesome (in my opinion) haunted house using animatronic, strobe lights, fog machines, cooked pasta, and fake bloody. It’s one of my best halloween memories!

The most creepy joke I made a few years ago. I didn’t sleep all night and put on zombie makeup, put on old torn clothes and hid in the refrigerator in the morning (I’m thin – I can fit anywhere). Of course, before that I turned it off and got everything out of there. I calculated just in time for the rise of the parents. My father opened the refrigerator door and I jumped out. He yelled so hard that he slammed the door back, right in my face! (😁😂). But it was worth it!

My favorite Halloween memory is probably going through a haunted house like the one you created! Growing up I lived in a neighborhood that really went all out for Halloween and there were a ton of kids and several haunted houses set up in peoples garages. Second closest was going trick or treating a few years later with my sister and her husband and some of his nephews. I was a bit older and it was a bit quieter but my brother-in-law (big age difference between my sisters and I) made it memorable.

My favorite Halloween memory would be the year I dressed up as a princess/angel/spy (yes, this was all in one costume). I was going through a phase of loving spies, but my grandmother really wanted me to let her make me a princess costume, and my mom wanted me to be an angel, so I decided I would do all three at once. I had little plastic knives strapped to the skirt of the dress, a halo attached to a crown, and some magnifying glasses in my sleeves. No one could see the parts of my costume that made me a spy, so I was perfectly disguised 😎

Lots of lovely Halloween memories.

Awesome swatches as always! My favourite Halloween memory isn’t just one particular year, it’s pretty much my entire childhood! I grew up in a small community in Nova Scotia, Canada, where pretty much everyone knows everyone, and lots of relatives live nearby. Every year we would start trick-or-treating on our street, going next door to my Aunt/Uncle’s, then next door to them to my Grandparent’s house, then work our way up the street before one of my parent’s would drive us further to the other streets. Very often when you knock on a door and the person lets you in, they would always ask the same questions, ‘Who’s your father, who’s your mother?’ As if they might not give you treats if they don’t know whose kid you are 🤣 I never thought this was an odd question to ask at the time because it was so common I thought it was normal. But the older I get the more I laugh and cherish those moments! That and shout out to what we dubbed ‘Rich Man’s Lane’ because that’s where the bigger houses owned by teachers and doctors were and they always gave out full size candy bars and the cool treats, lol! 🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃
