31 Days of Halloween – Day 19
Hallowtober Day #19:
Go shopping for the perfect Halloween costume… who is your alter ego on this most magical of eves? A witch? A huntress? A viking? A vampire? It’s so fun to tap into your inner fantasies of who you want to embody, and breathe life into that character. Last year I was fairy warrior goddess and I felt so magically empowered. Who will you be for All Hallows? I can’t wait to hear (and see) in the comments below.

31 Days of Halloween- Day 18
Hallowtober Day #18:
Go prowling late at night to see if you can hear owls hooting (preferably close to a wooded area). You won’t find this so much in the city, although it does happen. I once had a Great Horned Owl perch above my bedroom window 3 nights in a row… and I’m smack dab in the middle of the city. I am close to a wetlands area, so maybe he flew over from there? It’s a mystery, but one of my fondest memories of one of my totem animals (I’ll explain all about totem animals in another, more magical, post).

31 Days of Halloween – Day 17
Hallowtober Day #17:
Eat a deliciously decadent piece of the best pumpkin pie you can sink your fork into. My Dad is the best pie maker in the world, but when I can’t be in Minnesota to enjoy one of his masterpieces, I think Urth Cafe’s pumpkin pie is a very close second best. With the graham cracker crust and perfectly spiced pumpkin and fresh whip cream… I think I have to go get one right now. They have a vegan pumpkin pie too which tastes deceivingly like the real thing, but healthier! If you live in an area without an Urth Cafe (I’m so sorry, the HORROR!!), whip up one of your own!

Host a spoken word night with some friends and tell each other ghost stories over a few bottles of wine and delectable fall treats. Come up with the most creative, outrageous, spine tingling stories and delight in each other’s storytelling capabilities.

Hallowtober Day #15:
Make your own Halloween cards to send to friends and family. I know, snail mail, what a concept, but I know everyone loves to receive it and it means that much more when you take the time to create it yourself. Take some construction paper and fold on in half for the ‘card’ itself, then cut out some Halloween shapes (crescent moons, witches on their broomsticks, haunted house, jack-o-lanterns, etc) and glue to the front and back, inside draw a little Halloweeny scene and a personal note. Or draw the card from scratch. In this digital, rush rush rush age, a handmade and snail mailed card will be sure to delight whoever receives it! I’d love to see what you come up with, so send along a picture in the comments below.
