Some may consider this DIY blasphemous… my mother included. It started as a family tradition of setting out my mom’s Christmas village every year the day after Thanksgiving. It was a big To-Do about getting all of her Christmas houses and decor out of the attic and my brother, sister…
While browsing Bullseye’s Playground at Target (SERIOUSLY I NEED A CHAPERONE TO GO TO TARGET SOMEONE STOP MEEEE!) and found a wooden sugar skull cutout. While always on the lookout for cute things to DIY, I immediately envisioned this as a zombie, and decided to paint it pop art style…
I wanted to scale up my Halloween decorations this year, since I actually hardly decorated last year, at least not in an intentional way. More like, there was Halloween stuff everywhere that didn’t actually hang on walls or wasn’t purposefully placed. With Damir fully aware of my obsession, I figured…
I love all of the pop art zombies I’ve seen all over Pintrest, but I know that bit of makeup magic is beyond my reach… for now. In the mean time, I thought I would practice and make my own DIY Zombie Pop Art Canvas! Whoop for more Halloween decorations!…
I love having a food centerpiece whenever I have a party, and this brain cake is certain to keep your zombie party guests happy. While I am not a fan of the more gruesome zombie treats (some are impressive but just not appetizing!), I think this cake carefully toes the…
Another great option for zombie themed, or even just Halloween themed parties is graveyard cupcakes. As it turns out, Peeps has thrown its hat into the Halloween candy ring with Peep Gravestones, and paired with these super cute bone and brain sprinkles and oreos, they make a super cute, and…
Hey everyone! I am going to be honest here, I have spent the last 3-4 days in full on battle with my migraine monster. Just part of life with Chronic Pain. Usually they don’t quite come on this strong unless I am in a full on flare up. Shoot. Regardless,…
A fun extra detail you can do for your zombie look is to give yourself an undead manicure! I even have to say, once it was cleaned up, I wouldn’t have minded keeping it on a little longer if it had been a bit closer to Halloween! Zombie Manicure You…
While I finish preparing my zombie makeup tutorials, I have also been getting all of my Halloween decorations up! Of course, if I am doing Zombie costumes, I will also have Zombie decor. I didn’t want blood and caution tape up all month, so I opted for a few items…
You can find all kinds of zombie cupcakes on Pintrest, and so many of them are fantastically done! That said, I’m not a huge fan of eating super gory looking food. I know it might just be jelly filling… but sometimes it just isn’t the most appetizing, you know? Instead,…
There are may things to consider when creating your DIY zombie costume, but I wanted to round up with some not-so-obvious tips along with the basics. Prepare for the mess One thing that people often forget about is how messy a zombie costume is! While grease paint is it’s own…
As a huge reader, you can bet I spend just as much time reading about zombies than I do making them (actually, I read a lot more, no surprises there). If you are in the market for some Halloween Zombie reading, then you will love these! Top 10 Zombie Books…
With every holiday, there always seems to be one food item people crave the most. While I definitely take part in the PSL craze (hey, I’ve been obsessed ever since I was a kid and had to wait until Thanksgiving for pumpkin anything), my seasonal favorite for the Halloween holiday…
I’ve been doing Zombie looks for awhile now, and a lot of my friends were surprised I didn’t include them in my 31 Days of Halloween last year! My Zombie Evolution My personal Zombie has evolved over the years as I have tried different products, techniques, and even themes! Each…
It’s here!!!! After 11 long months of waiting, October is finally here, and officially kicks off the start of 31 days of Halloween! Get ready for 31 Halloween DIY tutorials! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Sorry, I’ll try to contain myself. I have been planning this since late November last year. You think I’m kidding.…
This is an absolute hit recipe I crafted after accidentally forgetting to un-thaw stew meat for the more traditional version of Bosnian Cabbage Soup. Instead, I gave it a spin on actual Cabbage Rolls by adding rice and using ground beef (which WAS thawed) instead… and it seriously worked in…
South Dakota actually has an abundance of great wineries, but Calico Skies is quickly becoming my favorite. Just 25 miles south of Sioux Falls, this winery boasts not only fantastic wines from their own grapes, but an incredible view to boot! Best yet, wine tastings are free, and you are…
Lesson learned from week 1 of the FIT challenge… you can always work harder. In addition my workouts, I pushed myself harder than I have in weeks… really in months. Some people tackled an entire challenge in one day. I’m talking doing 100 bicep curls, 250 pushups, and 25 pull-ups…
Back a few months ago, I completely revolutionized the way I looked at my health and fitness. Before that, it was more like… “I’m gunna fit-ness donut in my mouth.” I was incredibly proud of my 10 week results after doing Farrells. But life has a way of throwing a…
Cupavci is a traditional Bosnian cake and one of my favorite recipes to make, but it can be an incredibly messy one. With Damir’s dad visiting again, I thought I would re-mix the essential ingredients in a new way that is just as delicious with half the mess. Cupavci Cupcakes…
