Falling into Autumn

Halloween is creeping its way in

Hello, lovelies! Guess what? Autumns finally here! WOO-HOO!
I absolutely LOVE this time of year! Have you felt the climate change yet? cool breezes are starting to roll its way in and they are finally here to stay. With that said, guess what else is coming up? Ill give you three seconds to guess...1....2....3...HALLOWEEN! I'm so incredibly pumped to see whats in stores for Halloween and I'm totally looking forward towards all the amazing costumes! Ill share with you some costume ideas and what i'd love to be for Halloween so lets get started!


First off, happy early (incredibly early) Halloween! <3
Now, for years and years I've always wanted to be Morticia Addams whom was played by Carolyn Jones! This would be the perfect dark and sassy Halloween look and it definitely doesn't involve too, too much drastic makeup and expensive costumes. Simply "dead" yourself with a nice pale makeup face, slip on a black dress, straighten your hair, add some jewelry and bam! You're Mrs. Addams!
Perhaps you want something a little more "scary"? How about a cute vampire like Elena played by Nina Dobrev? I think Nina's vampire look is incredibly amazing! I love the vampire look more when she plays the role of Katherine, I don't know, what do you think? And whose excited to see The Vampire Diaries this October?!
Now this, my dear viewers....is amazing. Jack and Sally is a PERFECT costume for couples, in my opinion! I mean, just look at it! At first, not gonna lie, I thought it was Sally and Beetlejuice. But then it clicked that it was Jack Skellington! I really love how this costume looks, what do you think?
As shown above, I think Sally would just be the most cutest and beautiful costume. But it's all about getting it just right or else you wont get the full vibe of Sally. Ive been tempted recently to purchase the Sally costume but it's so expensive! Plus buying a wig to go with it? Too much but id say itd be totally worth it! I mean just look how amazing this costume looks when it is put together on properly. I love it!
Now, if I could somehow magically transform myself into Kat Von D for Halloween and forever... I totally would. Just look at her! She's stunning and I love everything about Kat! I love how edgy but well put together she always dresses and appears. She'd definitely unique and I would totally be incredibly happy and satisfied if I could be Kat Von D for a day.
Last but not least, a pin up girl! Old fashion is totally making a come back this year and I'm totally loving it. I think this would be a very cute outfit to throw on together for Halloween 'cause it give you and excuse to get extra dolled up and in a way it is like you're wearing a costume but you could also wear this dress anywhere because it is totally suitable for an any day dress to wear. Get me? Like, purchase this dress or something similar and wear it not only for Halloween, but whenever you want!


So, that is it for todays post and I hope you've all liked it! Also, for the month or October, i'm thinking of uploading a couple of "chilly" stories on my blog...but I'm not too sure if I'll go through with it. Let me know if you'd like that! Id probably post every Friday night, just to get into that spooky mood. Along with the post I would share some scary movies of my choice that inspire the stories of week, so that'd be great 'cause you'll be able to look up that movie and watch it and see how it ties in with my short story! Anyways, thanks for keeping up with my blog, love you all!

xoxo, Johana <3

School Tips

Back to School and back to a routine.



Good afternoon, lovelies! Today I wanted to post another "Back to School" post since everyone should be back in school by now! So, I'll start off with tips on how to keep your locker organized for those little munchkins that are entering or are in middle school!
So, in order to start decorating your locker, you have to find out what works best for you. Are you very neat and organized? Or do you just go with the flow and like things everywhere? It's all upon you and how you are organized. If you are someone that likes to be organized, here are some tips for you. Tip number one would have to be to know what size your locker is. Depending on how big, small, wide, and narrow will make a big difference on buying utensils to fit into your locker. You can purchase some locker shelves from your local target and can stack them to your  liking. I suggest make three divisions: The bottom one, try to make it small so you can place your pencils, erasers, high lighters, markers, colored pencils, tissues, paper clips and so on. Next, your middle section should be the biggest so that you can place your books here or any other large object. Finally, the top section should be so you can place your notebooks, folders, and binders. On the side from your locker, you can always buy some magnetic containers from your local Wal-Mart, k-mart, target, or The Container store for extra storage. Finally, you can decorate the remaining part of your locker to your liking. Some girls like adding mirrors and a small container underneath it to place their makeup, brushes, "mother nature" supplies, and just small shrinkets to decorate their locker. By following these tips, your locker will be organized and clean all year long!
 Now, if you are not the organized type, that's cool too. Fersure I was one of them! But my tip (more like advice) is to get into the habit of getting organized. By throwing everything in your locker, you create a jungle of a mess in there. You can lose important papers, rip and tear notes or book, and well just a lot of horrible things start to happen all because you we're not organized. So, to survive this year, get organized!

Then, for a high school and college level advice from me would have to be to just enjoy being in school and quit hating to go. I know, we all have those days where we just dread getting up due to talking late to friends, being on social networks, or catching up with your favorite show. We're all guilty of that. My advice would have to be the sooner you break that horrible routine, the better. There's nothing better than to wake up in the morning and feeling refreshed, energized, and up for anything! When you wake up feeling great, chances are that you are going to have a great day. Start off you day by being in a great and positive attitude, having a great breakfast, and just stay optimistic throughout your day. Your day gets even better when you surround yourself with great friends with positive attitudes. Enjoy going to school, enjoy learning, enjoy socializing with your friends, enjoy those funny and stupid moments you create with friends, but most importantly, enjoy life. Life is precious and we must value it every single day. Be thankful that you have seen the sun rise and set for some don't have time to see another glorious day.
