#BLOGTOBER Day 19- The Jack-o-lantern

October 19, 2018michelleleighwrites 1 Comment

When I was a kid, my family and I used to watch Halloween every year together. We would gather on the couch, light our recently carved pumpkin and shut the lights out. The one lonely flame, flickering. My mom loves scary movies and growing up we always watched together, screaming along the way. Cue the music…

There was this one specific year we were in the middle of the chilling killing sprees of Michael Myers, when all of a sudden our flickering flame in our Jack-o-lantern shut out. I remember we all gasped, breath held in, until it then re-lit. I think the fact that it re-lit was more scary than it going out in the first place. A draft can come in out of nowhere, but relighting? Now that’s some spooky ~~shit.~~ Pardon my French.

We laughed and finished our movie. But for a few brief moments it was super creepy there, and we all felt it. Hey Halloween is a time to get a little spooked, right? Haha. It’s a memory we still talk about today.

Ah, Halloween memories, with the fam. Good times.

Who’s excited for the new 2018 Halloween?…Jamie Lee Curtis is back, bitches!

OUT NOW!

My Top 5 Candy Preferances

October 31, 2014October 30, 2014michelleleighwrites 2 Comments

In honor of Halloween…The main thing that pops into my head when I think of it is…CANDY….and being a 23 year old and way past my trick or treating days I think it’s only fair we adults get to indulge in the candy festivities ourselves. When I want candy it’s usually, if not always…CHOCOLATE!

To narrow it down, here’s…

MY TOP 5 Candy Favs

5. NutRageous

This was my favorite as a kid… and it still holds up.

4. Snickers

Cuz…what’s not to love?

3. Twix

There’s two of them!

2. Kit Kat

There’s 4 of them!

1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

My kryptonite…end of story.

Um can we just talk about this…..for 5 seconds, real quick…

Like what? two favs combined!

*Bonus– just for Halloween…Candy Corn…because even though it’s not earth shattering, it’s a staple and must be consumed just a bit during the Halloween season.

**********

Check out my Halloween posts from last year…

Who’s the Scariest?

*I choose Halloween’s scariest villain…will it be Michael, Jason or Freddy???

Cuz naturally when I go camping I wear booty shorts too…

The Halloween Spirit…

*I give you a list of things you can do to help boost your Halloween spirit…I’m talking movies, candy, activities…enjoy! I’m proud to say this year I may have just about knocked them all off my list! Self Five!

**********

*And word to all you Walking Dead fans out there

Stay Tuned for a special DIY inspired by Daryl Dixon!*

Can you guess what it is?

Happy Halloween!

Be Safe and eat lots of candy…today you are justified!
