Top Ten Tuesday- Halloween Favorites


Today's Top Ten Tuesday is all about the holiday of this month, HALLOWEEN!!! I love this time of year and Halloween is such a fun holiday. I have always really loved Halloween and everything thing that comes along with. So here are some of my favorite things about Halloween.

10. Candy!!! I mean lets kick it off with something fun right? Halloween candy is pretty much the best candy out there. While I don't eat a lot of it, because I really don't have the control, but the small size candy pieces make for great portion control.

9. Carving pumpkins. There is something about carving a pumpkin into a Jack O'Lantern that just makes it all come together.

8. Hocus Pocus. Yup probably one of my favorite Halloween movies. I have watched it all my life and to me Halloween is not complete with out at least watching twice and the same goes for....

7. BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE!BEETLEJUICE!! By far my favorite Halloween movie. Only really comes out this time of year but I love LOVE that movie. Favorite memory of mine is eating chocolate covered cherries, the ones with the liquid inside and laying on the floor with my mom watching it.

6. Decorations. I love seeing other people hang up decorations. It makes for fun runs in my neighborhood. I love when people go all out, I had in the past but this year decided to just keep it simple, But growing up I had this decoration that was a door mat and when you stepped on it, it screamed. It was awesome

5. I love dog costumes this time of year. I don't have a dog but lots of my friends do and seeing them post their pets in little costumes is the cutest thing ever.

4. T.V. shows doing Halloween themed episodes. YES! My favorite, Modern Family usually does a really funny one and I loved themed shows anyway.

3. American Horror Story usually does a Halloween themed one too and it is usually the scariest one of the season. Speaking of season, this one is the craziest one yet. am i right??

2. Halloween themed terms this year have been big and too funny. Here for the BOOS on wine glasses, etc.

1. Halloween parties. While I have not been to one in a really long time, costume parties are so much fun!! One day I will host one, but hey if anyone is having one, I am free and have lots of great ideas.

I guess the one thing about Halloween I really love is the concept of being someone different for one day or night, not caring and eating candy and just taking in the fall holiday!

One of my most favorite Halloween Memories is trick or treating. My dad would take me every year. He loved driving me from house to house and walking with me up and down the streets. He would wait while I ran up and pack an extra bag for me so I could get even more. It didn't matter if it was raining or cold, he was always right there with me. 

What is your favorite Halloween memories or Halloween Favorites??

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
