So the day has finally come. After 364 days of pure anticipation, planning and waiting, Halloween is actually here! You are ready for a spooktacular day...or are you? Here are a few things to ask yourself today in preporation for a spooky time:

1. Do I have a kick-ass costume?

If not, Google “cheap and easy last minute Halloween costumes”. That Google search has saved me several times.

1. Have I bought my candy yet?

Go get yourself some candy, even if it isn’t for trick-or-treaters.

3. Have I watched all the movies on my Halloween watch list?

There are always good movies on TV on Halloween, and if you don’t like any of them, you could always Netflix some (they usually have a whole list of Halloween classics that you can binge.)

4. (For you party-goers and IF you are of legal drinking age): Did I get my alcoholic beverage of choice?

Maybe it’s because it’s festive and has a devil on it, but I recommend some Fireball...and I also recommend to drink responsibly.

5. Are the pumpkins out and carved?

Luckily, this one is an easy fix. If you already have pumpkins, you can totally just do a quick carve before your evening festivities. If you don’t have pumpkins, well, nobody is going to judge you that much.

6. Are my porch lights turned on (or off)?

This is pretty important. It’s good to double check this. If you plan on having trick-or-treaters come around, make sure you have a signal for them to come to your door, aka the porch light. If you won’t be home or won’t be giving out candy, make sure your lights are OFF.

7. Will driving around be worth it tonight?

It might be a good idea to walk, if you can, to places tonight. Traffic is usually nuts and if you’re in an area where there will be a lot of kids running around, it can get dangerous. Even getting an Uber tonight will be quite the challenge so good luck.
