The magic of social media is discovering events in the city you live in. World of Illumination is billed as “the World’s Largest Drive-Thru Animated Light Show” and it can kick off your holiday season with a bang. It’s better than virtual since you can actually be in it safely outside of cyberspace. We found about it through a friend’s Facebook post and immediately booked tickets because we knew it was going to take off in the Atlanta area. WOI takes over a theme park and brings hundreds of interactive displays with a million lights to you while you are safely seated in your car. No need to walk around or wait in lines to see the sights. World of Illumination has opened 3 separate locations in the United States in 2020.

Unexpected gifts that arrive in the mail bring a lot of joy no matter how big or small. I had the fortune of receiving two such gifts recently. Completely out of the blue. It’s even more meaningful with the state the world is in now. We need connection with one another. I’ve even been considering writing letters again. Can’t recall the last time I wrote one. Social media has been a lifesaver, but there’s nothing like a package or letter in the mail. Photo Credit: John Graham My sorority sister and friend, Kristen, creates beauty out of yarn. I enjoy seeing her designs on Facebook as she knits scarves, socks, and more. She even has a loom! Back in October, I received a package in the mail out of the blue that contained this gorgeous scarf. It’s designed with Halloween colors and the edges are shaped like “teeth”! How cool…
STANDS is once again teaming up with the cast and crew of Supernatural for a great cause. Supernatural’s stars regularly use show logos and characters in STANDS merchandise to support non-profits and communities. In the past, they’ve raised money for hunger, hurricane relief, pandemic support, and suicide awareness. Supernatural is the longest running series on the CW network and has given us 15 amazing seasons. It is hands down my absolute favorite show. I’ve purchased quite a bit of their partner STANDS merchandise over the years and been really pleased with it. Personally, I’ll be purchasing the Sam and Dean necklace and the Impala holiday tee. I want to point out that I have no affiliation with Stands other then the fact I love their merchandise. I like to post their promotions because I personally shop with the site and love the shirts I’ve purchased. New! Misha Collins’ “For Love” Tee$25.99 · 100% of profits will benefit True…
I love books and fireplaces and naturally putting them together is a favorite aethetic in any house we live in. Our last house had a fireplace grate in it, and I was not willing to keep cleaning out ash. I really wanted gas logs and finally got them with our new house. I decorated the former fireplace with a black barbeque spray which was a good choice for any new owners of our house, and I displayed books and candles as decor. It was awesome as an everyday look and for Halloween plus Christmas. I put a Santa hat on the skulls.

Cocktails are a major part of any night out or party. Halloween is the perfect time of year to try new ones. I am a vodka girl at heart, but I do love color and style in a good drink. I found 7 Halloween cocktails that are made of ingredients you probably have in your home or they’re easy to pick up whenever you’re out running errands. Most of these are from Delish.com. Parties will be hard to attend this year with the state the world is in, however it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy cocktails with family and friends via a good Zoom session or small-scale event, right? Or simply mix yourself one while you watch your favorite horror film. This post contains affiliate links.
