Even tho lots of us are waiting for fall to get our pumpkin spice lattes, the best part about this season and what makes it more fun and “spooktacular” it’s Halloween!

I can bet that some of you started looking for your Halloween custom since September, but if you are like me and have NO idea of what are you going to wear, we need to start getting some inspiration out there from our IG feed. When I was doing my research, I was surprised to find all of these accounts that not only are FULL of Halloween inspiration, but they do celebrate Halloween all year long! WHAT??

Here are my top 5:

Well, my dear followers, October is finally here, and we all know what that means.. it’s candy time!

I remember last year when one of my friends told me she spent $300 bucks on Halloween candies at Costco, and I was like WHAT? You spent how much? And let’s not forget all of those mom’s who their kids have many allergies, and they have to check the whole bag making sure they are safe for their kids.

I don’t want to be that mom that doesn’t let their kids eat candies, they do eat candies once in a while, Halloween is one of those days but to be honest? They don’t even know the difference between a good candy and a bad one, that’s why I decided that this year, I want to have in my house smart options for them. YES, my kids are going to eat their sugar this year, but why not to choose a better/safer option for everyone?

This year we are choosing to join the teal pumpkin project and give Freeyumm as treats! If you haven’t heard about them, this local company make these delicious bars and cookies with natural ingredients, no artificial fillers, and not unprocessed sweeteners. They are all made in a dedicated bakery where the top nine priority allergens are never allowed.
