Over the years, I’ve been many things for Halloween. There was the unicorn in 2018, the alter ego in 2019, the Zoom-bie in 2020, and the aging equestrian in 2021. For whatever reason, I have enjoyed Halloween more as an…
My Makeup Look for Halloween 2019
Even though I haven’t technically worn a Halloween costume since I was a kid, I still enjoy “dressing up” in some capacity as an adult. This year, I got into the spooky spirit by attempting a Day of the Dead…
Witches Night Out
This week started off with a Historic Haunts of Long Island lecture at the Connetquot Public Library with Kerriann Flanagan Brosky and Joe Giaquinto, and ended with the 10th annual Witches Night Out hosted by Lucky to Live Here Realty…
The October Agenda
Where, oh where, has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday I had my beach bag packed and I was hitting the beach every second I could, and now I’ve got my flannel shirt on and I’ve already gone…
Embracing Halloween as an Adult
It’s been many years since I’ve been at an age where it was still appropriate to Trick-or-Treat. Since those years are now long gone, I’ve mainly lost interest in Halloween. Sure, I love decorating a pumpkin or two and will…
A Throwback Halloween

Spooky Sightings
{Any guesses as to what I went as this year?} I hope everyone had a spook-tacular Halloween and got their fill of sweets. For those who have asked to see some throwback photos from my childhood Trick-or-Treating days, you are…
Pumpkin, Spice, and Everything Nice
My favorite holiday has finally arrived! Note, I’m using the word “favorite” loosely here. Any holiday that promotes the large consumption of chocolate (and where it’s given out for free!) is a winner (#hidethereese’s). I admit that I never used…
Halloween DIY: Pumpkin Painting
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen one of my pumpkins pleading with me to be decorated (don’t believe me? See the image below!). Nothing is sadder than a pleading pumpkin, so I had to oblige. As…
Happy Halloween!
The pumpkins are out, the candy is flowing, and there is a chill in the air. But it just wouldn’t be Halloween for me without my beloved Entenmann’s candy corn cupcakes! Hope everyone has a BOO-tiful day!
Getting in the Spirit
I have never been a huge fan of Halloween. It was fun as a child when you had a half day at school, followed by a costume parade and then trick-or-treating. But once the costume phase passes and it’s no…
