Spooky season is the perfect time to get some new clothing or just figure out something simple to wear. Not everyone gets to dress up and have tons of ghoulish fun on the 31st.
Zazzle is one of my favorite sites with some fantastic products, many which are made by regular people who are just super creative. Even you can go on there and design something to make it special just for you and your friends.
Check out these cute designs that I found that are funny and creative for the season! I know I’m always looking for something for the season and with all the options you can’t go wrong!
It’s SPOOKY SEASON which means it’s the time to watch the ghostly and scary. Netflix has a fantastic collection of scary movies for ones which are kid appropriate to ones that…the little ones certainly should not be around for. We have the B-rated horror movies to some classics as well as those gruesome ones (not my cup of tea) that make you wonder if you should have eaten dinner.
However, here’s a list of my top 10 spooky watches which are on Netflix that are a mix of spooky to a ‘burning-calories-because-my-heart-is-racing’. Enjoy!
With the closing of September comes October and you know what that means….SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US!
It is time for black cats and wicked treats, scary movies and creepy books. It’s one of my favorite seasons and I certainly look forward to it every year. I hope that you do too.
With this month comes recommendations from me of good books and movies. And of course any other spooky thing which gets thrown in my direction.
If you have any good book or movie recommendations, please don’t hesitate to comment, DM me on Instagram or email me ‘cus I LOVE ME A GOOD SPOOKY THING!
So this is something completely different but I’m super excited to say that I’ve paired with Jord Watches to host this awesome giveaway!
Who are they exactly? Well they make these awesome watches out of sustainable materials! I don’t work with companies who I don’t support so I just want to state I adore this company. Jord sells watches that are made of recycled materials and all natural, treated with tung oil, to help make them water resistant! To me, I absolutely adore sustainable things so I’m so behind this!
I highly recommend checking out their website and seeing what materials they use, as well as what kind of watches they sell.

Review
I originally saw this movie about two years ago but never really thought, or connected, it to the fact that it was a Halloween movie, so everyone was talking about it recently so of course, I had to get it again.
Visually stunning. The colors in this movie are just gorgeous. It’s so atmospheric with some of the scenes, with the reds and the teals. And I mean the house, ugh, so photo worthy. I would move in, not caring about the ghosts, just wanting to take photos everywhere. It’s got this perfect old feel, that it has aged well, without it being too dilapidated – barring the massive hole in the roof. The colors were so beautiful and then you had the ghosts themselves, unlike any other one that I have seen before. Keep in mind that it was made by Guillermo del Toro, who is known for “dark, fantastical films such as Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy” (Architectural Digest).
The actors were good. I did really quite like the actors who were chosen to portray the characters, although a few times I wanted to smack Edith for some of the things that she did. It was silly little mistakes and you wanted to shake her for being so naive, but sadly, it’s a movie and you can’t do that. Tom Hiddleston was perfect as this charming male who was supposed to woo all of these women for their money and their souls. He’s an attractive actor and that, coupled with the accent, was the perfect combination to be this kind of ‘bad guy’ who grew a conscience.
The story had a few holes. There were a few holes in the story that did bother me, such as the machine they were building to extract the clay. It was a silly little reason for Thomas Sharpe to be traveling around, but it was an excuse for him to meet women around the world. For me, I think a better reason could have been chosen but it kind of worked, although it ultimately wasn’t talked about later in the movie.
Quite dark, but perfectly proportioned. It was a dark movie, overall, with some of the themes. There was some violence and blood involved, so that’s the reason it was rated R. There is two sex scenes, probably the main reason it is R as it was quite…adulty. But, other than that the movie was pretty okay. The ghosts were definitely creepy but this wasn’t a jump-scare kind of movie. It was all about the deep message behind what it happening and the psychological issues this Sharpe family has.
Overall, I thought it was a fantastic movie. Sure, it had a few holes in it and I would have loved for them to have ironed it out, but the music was fantastic, the cinematography was beautiful and the story, overall, was really well done. It’s a perfect movie for spooky season and I definitely recommend!
