Boo!!! and Spooktacular Tag

Happy Halloween!!

This is what adorned my  nails today, the Red is Ruby Pumps from China Glaze (you know winter is here when you break out that one!) the white is White on White also from China Glaze and the little ghosty is a water decal from ebay.

I was tagged by the lovely Clare over at http://makeroomforcupcake.blogspot.co.uk/  to do th Spooktacular TAG that's kicking about right now.

And i do love a good TAG :-)

as without further ado I'll crack on:

1. Do you still Trick or Treat?

Not in the traditional sense but in a more grownup sense I'd have to say it depends on the company ;-)

2. Do you like going to haunted attractions?

Yes but preferably with a cute guy to keep me safe.

3. Favorite Halloween Candy?

Popping Candy, we had some at work today it was immense!!

4. Favorite Halloween Movie?

The more I thought about this the more i realised i freaking love Ghostbusters :-)

5. Favorite Scary Movie?

I'm a complete scaredy cat when it comes to these things, but i did quite like the scream films, do they count as scary movies?

6. Favorite costume you ever wore as a child?

Nothing particularly sticks in my mind. I think i must've loved being a witch because the majority of my Halloween memories seem to be when i was dressed like that. 

7. First costume you can remember wearing?

Probably again the witch, I had the coolest hat.

8. Favorite Fall Food and Beverage?

Definitely a nice cup of spiced tea and a gingerbread man

9. Do you have a festive background on your phone?

I did but then my phone got wiped so not right now :-(

10. Do you have a festive background on your phone?

You can see what my outfit was HERE

11. What would Pinecone be?

I have a goldfish called Cup. He doesn't dress up.

12. What candy do you have left in your stash after you eat everything else?

Anything green and gummy, ewww!

13. Do you decorate your house?

I do a pumpkin, normally. This year i do actually have a pumpkin, but it didn't get round to carving it :-(

14. Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, or Hayrides?

Here in Scotland we don't really have these things but I'd defiantly give a haunted hayride a go!

15. Going to a Corn Maze, what do you wear?

Bikini and flip flops? 

I don't quite get this question, its cold outside,  wouldn't everyone wrap up warm and put your coat on?

And that is the end of Blogtober!

Can't quite believe I've finished it, and that I've found something to talk about every day!

I'm not sure I'll blog every day in November, but i can think of quite a lot of things i want to blog about already. 

Due to a huge rash on my face (Good thing its Halloween!) my review on the Real Techniques Brush i bought is slightly delayed but as soon as i stop scaring small children I'll be right on it.

And the Olia hair colour review should be up by Sunday. 

So make sure you subscribe for them.

I hope you had a very Happy Halloween, if you've done the Spooktacular tag be sure to comment below!

(No i don't know whats going on with my font here. I think blogger is freaking out or something!)

TAG: I Heart Fall/Autumn

I had been thinking about doing a few tag style posts on here as i find it interesting to see the differences in peoples answers. Then i saw that Clare from makeroomforcupcake.blogspot.co.uk/ had done this one and i was inspired.

Now some of these things have been mentioned before on here as I'm not shy about proclaiming my love for this season but i thought it'd be nice to bring them all together.

1 Favourite Fall lip product?

I've got 2 for this as if i don't have one on i definitely have the other.



Mac Cunning. This was from the Fabulous Felines collection from a while back, Its only recently i rediscovered it, it looks scary in the tube but its a nice deep berry wine colour when applied.

And the other is Blistex Medplus lip balm. I don't think I'd make it through the bitter Scottish winter without this. I forgot to put it in my bag the other day and i swear my lips felt like they were about to explode by the time i walked home from work.

2 Favourite Fall Nail Polish?

I gave my thought on this one HERE

But it has to be German-icure by OPI

3 Favourite Starbucks Fall Drink?

I did a whole post about my love for Pumpkin Spice Latte HERE
LOVES IT!!

I did try a Salted Caramel Mocha the other day as well, most enjoyable.

(The RED CUPS are coming!!!!!!)

4 Favourite Fall Candle?

Another of the things that I've already waxed (sorry) lyrical about is my beloved Marshmallow Fireside from Slatkin/White Barn/Bath and Bodyworks. see that post HERE

My little one has all gone but I'm ordering the giant one from eBay the minute i wake up on payday. It's that good!

5 Favourite Fall Scarf or accessory?

Hedgehog Scarf from Primark.

I live in Scotland its pretty chilly round here so full on winter scarves are already being sported by many.

6 Haunted House, Haunted Hay Ride, or Haunted Corn Maze?

We don't really have the corn maze or Hay rides in the UK but i do LOVE a good Haunted House. If I'm totally honest i even love rubbish fairground haunted house. I find them freaking hilarious!!

7 Favourite Halloween Movie?

Everyone seems to be choosing Hocus Pocus for this one.

I don't have a favourite for this so I'll tell my Hocus Pocus story.

Hocus Pocus frightened me for a long time, yes really. 

If i saw it was about to come on TV I'd have to change the channel immediately, and this was until quite recently.

Thing is, when i was little i watched a DVD of this movie and i don't know how this happened but in my head i had a completely warped version of them raising billy from his grave. It freaked me right out. 

A few months ago i forced myself to watch it, the scene in my head didn't exist. I felt silly!

8 Favourite candy to eat on Halloween?

I don't know if it would be classified as 'Halloween Candy' but at the moment my favourite sweet treat is gingerbread. Nom nom nom!!

9 What are you dressing up as for Halloween?!

Well this year I'm going to a Onesie Party and I'm thinking of getting a new onesie for the occasion. 

But my Favourite thing to dress up as is Wednesday Addams.

10 What is your Favourite thing about Fall?

It has to be crunchy leaves and the smell of a clear autumn evening, perfection :-)

I tag everyone that reads this.

Eat, drink and be scary....

I was a bit at a loss about what to write about for blogtober day 17.

I'm still in love with my manicure from yesterdays post so i knew it wouldn't be nails.

I left my umbrella at work so i currently look like a drowned rat (It's Scotland, I got rained on, A LOT!)

So i knew it wouldn't be a beauty post.

On my bleak walk home, i wandered into the the supermarket (grocery store)  to warm up a bit.

They only had freaking Fiendish Fancies!!!!

Is it weird i get excited about things that I'd ignore everyday? Honestly put something in a seasonal box and I'm all over it!!

If anyone is unfamiliar with what a fancy is its a tiny cake with a bit of fondant covered in icing. They are little bites of heaven! Perfect with a nice cup of tea on a rainy evening :-)

Since i was feeling the Halloween love I also picked up a pumpkin while i was in. I'm going to a onesie party (yes, you read that right) this year and i want to take an immaculately carved pumpkin as a hostess gift.

Could someone give me some pointers on how to carve a pumpkin?
Mine always look kind of wonky.
Also, any ideas on recipes for the pumpkin flesh that i scoop out?
