5 Safety Tips For Halloween
WALLPAPER ZONE

To my monsters out there, stay safe!

Here it is! Halloween! One of the best holidays of the year. The day where people can get creative and use their imagination to create or buy their costumes! Even though this is one of the best holidays to celebrate, let's go over several safety tips for an awesome Halloween night!



 SAFETY TIP #1

USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM

Whether you are going to go trick or treating or just going to the restroom from dancing on the dancefloor, you MUST always use the buddy system! Having someone with you is a safe bet because you are less likely to be harmed or bothered if a friend is with you.


SAFETY TIP #2

CHECK THE SWEETS

If you are going to go trick or treat with your friends or with your children, always check your bag of goodies because you never know if there will be harmful substances.



SAFETY TIP #3

BE LIT!!!

The night of Halloween can get pretty dark, so if you're going around the neighborhood, make sure you have glow in the dark sticks or illuminating objects with you, so you do not get yourself hurt. I bought several glow in the dark sticks at Dollar Tree; they are pretty cheap and work well!



SAFETY TIP #4

CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!

Even if you are not going out or not going to go trick or treating, please do not forget a bag of candy! I forgot to get a bag of candy last year and there were cute little trick or treaters that showed up to my doorstep, and the children were not happy. So, instead of giving them candy, I gave them Instant Ramen noodles (college life). Please, I beg of you please, go buy a bag of candy! Children love to dress up and receive candy for their costumes. Trust me, the children will stay at your doorstep until they receive a piece of candy. So, do not forget a bag of candy and do not forget to compliment on their costumes.


SAFETY TIP #5

SELFIES!!

When you take a selfie, make sure you are free from traffic and you take a selfie in an open area. Selfies are cute and fun but there will be people walking on the streets, so be aware of your surroundings. Nobody likes a stump pumpkin in the middle of the road.



So have fun my ghoulish monsters, until next time!! Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! MWAHAHAHA!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
