All Hallows' Eve

October... such a fan-flipping-tastic month! Leaves are changing colors and crisp fall air is upon us. At least we can hope that's the case. Whether you luck out with the weather or not, there is one thing everyone gets lucky with in October. Halloween. All Hallows' eve. October 31st. Are you picking up what I'm throwing down here? It is such a fantastic holiday. One that everyone can join in on the fun and act like a big kid and dress up in a crazy costume, carve a pumpkin, watch scary movies, and go to a haunted house. I purposely left trick or treating off of that list because I no longer participate in that event, although I totes would if I thought people would take me seriously and actually give me some sugar (Skittles or Starburst, please). Unfortunately I'm pretty sure they would think I was weird or preying on children (so incredibly creepy). I'll just steal some of the candy from my parents house. Thanks rents! 


Anyway I digress... what I'm trying to get at is that you can never be too old to have some good ol' fashioned Halloween fun. This weekend I'm hitting up the pumpkin patch and having a carving contest with my friends. Yes, we all fall between the ages of 26-29. Deal with it. We're totes fine with how much fun it's going to be, so you should be too. 


This is the real deal - cash prizes and judges. Yes, Lucc & her friend are the judges, but there will be no favoritism involved. Between the smack talking and the word that power tools are involved for some pumpkins has turned this competition into a ferocious Halloween battle. Clearly this isn't going to be your average pumpkin carving event... no triangle eyes and smiley face with 2 teeth pumpkins. Let's hope the alcohol brings out the best carving capabilities for everyone... and more importantly, let's hope nobody cuts off a finger! (pictures to come!)

take it or leave it: Tim Allen + Pure Michigan= Lizz in love. There is something so spectacular and perfect about the Pure Michigan commercials, both radio and T.V. It just brings a sense of calm over me… and also makes me want to get in my car and head up to Harbor Country, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. This is what I call genius marketing tactics. If you’ve never experienced the sultry sounds of Tim Allen talking about the great state of Michigan I would highly recommend you do so… Pure Michigan
