Good Morning Lovelies, 

Halloween is often spent getting dressed up in a scary outfit and either heading out to a party or trick or treating. For me, it is a time I often spend handing out sweets, before snuggling up with a scary film at the end of it all. 

Yet, this year, I have decided that I want to do things a little differently. Oddly, at the age of 31, I really want to go out trick or treating. I am seriously considering buying a mask and doing so. This need got me thinking about other ways I could spend the big day, which led to the following ideas that I couldn’t wait to share with you all…

A Train Ride Like No Other: Ever wanted to just go to the airport or train station and buy a random ticket to some place that you have never been to but always been too scared to do so? Why not spend Halloween facing those fears. As the night draws in, go to the station and buy the ticket. Then spend the evening exploring a new land. 

Bury A Time Capsule: Gather your most prized possessions and bury them in the garden or somewhere in your local area for someone in the future to find. Make sure to include a letter or something with the date on to possibly freak them out in the future. It will be super spooky if they were to find it on Halloween night too. 

Eat In The Dark Dinner Party: Get everyone round for a dinner party with a twist. Ask each guest to bring a Halloween inspired dish, before welcoming them in via candlelight. Once the dishes have been placed onto the table, blow the lights out and have a feast in the dark. It may get messy but it will be a dinner party that no one will ever forget.

Become Someone You Know: If you have always wanted to be like one of your friends, why not spend Halloween being them? Drawing names out of a hat, give your nearest and dearest the chance to spend the spookiest night of the year as someone else in your group. From the way they dress to the type of make up look they go for, it is a whole new take on a Halloween costume. 

Spend The Night In The Worst Hotel In Your Area: As someone who loves to look at the hotels, hostels and rentals available in my area, I have learnt which ones to avoid. However, I am a little intrigued to see if they are as bad as people say. If you are like me, Halloween could be the best night of the year to test it out. Book a stay and see if the ghouls and ghosts within the walls of the building are as scary as people make them out to be. 

The way we spend Halloween has become very much the same every year but it no longer needs to be. Have fun being creative lovelies and the less scary it will become! I am thinking about booking that hotel for the night. Though I will admit if I see one ghost or spider, I will be gone! What are you planning to do to celebrate the spookiest night of the year? Let me know!
