Halloween is a magical moment of the year! It is the time we celebrate fear and horror, but at the same time it is a great reason to dress-up in a costume and go trick or treating along the neighborhood.

I know that in Europe we don’t normally do that, as in we don’t really celebrate Halloween at all, but it is a super fun celebration and it is worth the while. I remember when going on my exchange in Canada I went trick-or-treating with my two younger host brothers and it was something so different compared to what I have experience before!

Being the Belle of the ball is a common practice, but at Halloween, many would argue that you need to somehow instill fear in everybody when you show up! However, I don’t think so… Halloween doesn’t only celebrate fear, it is a feast of costumes, and what better inspiration than the beautiful love story in Beauty and the Beast! Beauty has a heart of gold and does not let herself scared by Beast, she sees through his loneliness and falls in love with his heart, proving to everyone that true beauty comes from the inside!

#4- A trip to ancient Egypt…

Who said Egypt was only pharaohs and Cleopatra? Egypt is a piece of history that lives together with our world, and if you are looking for costumes, this place offers a myriad of them. Of course we love the idea of a Cleopatra costume, as she was the epitome of a strong and beautiful woman who knew what and when to do, but, because sometimes we want to get out of the ordinary, we suggest you to take on a mummy costume. As all the important people in Egypt were mummified, we have a sexy and television like idea of this, that would make for a great Halloween party costume!

The Flinstones were an era! the era of childhood, where dinosaurs and humans lived together on a planet, and where the two women, Wilma and Betty were amazingly arranged for the times they lived in!
