Hands up if you’re beyond excited that Halloween is just days away!!!!

If you haven’t caught on by now, or if you are new to the blog (welcome by the way!), Halloween is by far my favorite holiday! I love all the costumes, even though I very rarely dress up for Halloween. I love all the candy that the kids indulge on for the month of October, even though I’m not a huge candy eater myself. I’m such a huge fan of all the Halloween themed parties that people throw every year, even though I always admire from a far, and have failed to host my very own Halloween themed party (but one day I will!). I love the thrill of trick-or-treating with the little ones, even if that means I have to freeze my ass off for a good hour. I of course love all the Halloween movies that I can finally watch without judgement from others!

There’s so much to love about this holiday but these are by far my favorite! Since there are so many reasons why one should and can very easily fall in love with this spooky holiday, there are also many reasons why one can lose sight of their health and wellness goals. Especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching.

No shame if this is you because this is me too! [Read more…]

Hands up if you tend to lose sight of all your health and wellness goals when Halloween finally comes around.

You forget that you were on a journey of incorporating and maintain an effective wellness routine into your daily routine, and instead find yourself blacking out during the whole month of October. This blackout consists of eating all the delicious Halloween treats, catching the lazy bug and lounging on your couch or in your bed all day watching Halloween movies, and of course chowing down on candy whenever you can. If you are experiencing, have experienced, or know that you will more than likely experience this Halloween blackout, you are not alone.

For those of you who are wondering yes, my hand went up. In fact, both of my hands went up because I will be the first to unapologetically admit, that when Halloween finally comes around I experience this Halloween blackout big time! I am famously known for spending the entire month of October indulging in candy, lying in bed all day watching Halloween movies, obsessing over Halloween make-up tutorials, making all the DIY Halloween treats I can find, and much more.

Plus, right after Halloween is Thanksgiving and I can’t control myself any better during that holiday than I can during this holiday. I blackout in the month of October and somehow that blackout follows me into the month of November, and well it’s just downhill for the rest of the year. So to save all of us some time in relieving in some of my best Halloween blackout moments, let’s just say the Halloween blackout struggle is real! [Read more…]
