Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to have put out the inside Halloween decor. I hope to bring the outside stuff out sometime this week. 

......to be seeing Natalie this weekend. We have been watching Dawson's Creek, and Pacey just kissed Joey, so Natalie needs to see what happens next. (Obviously I know. I loved the show as a teen.)

......to have finished Love You More by Emily Giffin. It's about Billie, who just engaged. Then her first love calls with devastating news and she has to return to the area where she grew up. Will old feelings stir? Or will Billie realize she's outgrown her former home? I've always liked Emily's novels and this one was a sweet & cozy read. 

......to think the world needs more kindness. October is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender History Month. It's always a beautiful thing when people can be their authentic selves and live their truth. It's always heartbreaking when people do not comprehend this.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Costume Ideas

If you have tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World and are stumped on what to wear, I have ideas.

Now, you do not have to wear a costume to the party. Many don't. I didn't. I wore a fall themed t-shirt:

Here's a close up of the t-shirt. You can get it here. I received so many compliments on it.

Tommy dressed in black in the blazing hot Florida sun. 

Why?

He wanted to be Tobey Maguire from Spider-Man 3. You know, when Venom was taking over his body and he wasn't acting quite like himself?

His hair is blond, so we got black hair spray. You can find this in most Halloween aisles for around $5.

Did people know who he was? Er, not really. I think one asked if he was a Priest? But as soon as Tommy explained, they would be like, "Ah, I see it now." 

We got the pants and jacket here. The shirt came from Goodwill. We found the Venom clip from a blind bag. 

Natalie decided to be the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion ride.

She had the dress in her closet from Goodwill and purchased a black cape here. Luckily they party had a Hatbox Ghost popcorn bucket, so it worked out. Natalie did her own makeup and went with a headband instead of a top hat.

Basically, wear whatever you're comfortable in. Some get super creative. Others keep it simple. Wear shoes you can walk around in. 

Take advantage of all the photo spots, and have an incredible time. 

JK Rowling Is A Twat But Harry Potter Candy Is Cool

I'll start off by saying I am not a fan of JK Rowling. She has said some pretty disgusting things, and many of the actors in the movies have spoken out against her. But I cannot deny that she wrote some popular books and with that comes amusing merch. 

Like, I'm sorry, but these are hilarious:

And I admit, I didn't even read or watch Harry Potter. But I've so many friends who love all things Harry, so I learned about the candies. Plus, I do love the Butterbeer. I popped into the store while at NYC and was a fan even though I am not completely sure of the history behind it. 

The display looks cool and I found it in the front of the Halloween candy aisles at Target:

There was exploding candy:

If there's a Harry Potter fan in your life, these would make fantastic holiday gifts. Invited to a white elephant night? Grab these chocolate frogs. 

Eager for an edible wand? Purchase this. Cast a spell and then eat the wand. 

If you're missing excitement in your life, these exploding candies could help:

I like how it's called candy floss instead of cotton candy.

I did grab these flies. I haven't tried them yet:

If candy doesn't thrill you, there were slime kits and various other toys:

I bet these sugars are tasty. I didn't get any, but if you have one that's delicious, let me know:

You can also put the gifts in this bag or owl:

Everything is affordable. The candy is $5.99. If you're throwing a Halloween party, the chocolate bugs will be a hit. Or if you want to get a smile out of someone, hand over the flies. It's all at Target and seems to be going fast, so if you wanted these, hurry in. 

Do you like Harry Potter?
