Yay for a little late celebration of Halloween

 

Here's a picture me and my babe having a blast at our Halloween bash in the park. Don't you just love the blonde wig? Yep, got lot's of comments about that one.

Hope everyone is recovering from their Halloween experience. I think we have now all passed around the same cold (seems like we have all had it twice!) and are finally on the road to recovery. Too much sugar is my guess.

Our colds reminded me that this time of year it is truly important to take extra supplements, especially vitamin D, which helps inhance your immune system. Plus with all the reduced light and limited outdoor time it is even more difficult than usual to get enough vitamin D. My family has been long time lovers and takers of USANA supplements (I will be sharing more on this in later posts). I attribute my family's good health to our USANA vitamins and encourage everyone to rethink their vitamins. If you can't wait until my future love letter post to USANA, check out the USANA website to learn about some of the amazing science behind their products.

Talk to you later friends!

Halloween Treat Goody Bags

I seem to be drowning in black construction paper. Every year this seems to be a problem. I guess craft projects don't typically demand the use of black (or brown construction paper for that matter) all that often, especially childrens' craft projects.

In attempts to be "green" and "resourceful," I suppose that's the Girl Scout in me, I am devising new and innovative ways to use up that darn paper! Fortunately with Halloween just around the corner black is in. So, I apologize if all of my latest projects include the use of black construction paper, but hey, at least you too can put some of that extra paper to use. Now...what to do with all that brown. November is on the horizon, turkeys anyone?

Check out my latest article regarding the use of black construction paper: http://www.examiner.com/children-s-crafts-in-oakland/halloween-twitch-hat-reat-holders-peferct-party-goodie-bag

You too can make whimsical Halloween goody holders!

Enjoy!
