For the past few years, I’ve wanted to be Ursula for Halloween. I looked online, but to my dismay, every “plus size” Ursula costume I found was barely that, running a size 14-16, which is about a 1x. I found that hilarious since she is one of, if not the largest Disney villain, and stores … Read more
After brainstorming for hours and being drawn to my favorite 90s characters, it finally hit me what would be the perfect costume; Lola Bunny! I was absolutely obsessed with both Michael Jordan and Space Jam. I felt a special connection with the sassy Lola and decided to get to work. I used a boys’ football … Read more

Once dried, I added some smokers tooth makeup, plus brown … Read more
This is a costume I helped my aunt pull together. All she needed to buy was a nighty, slippers, a wig, contact lenses and food colouring. She mixed green food colouring with porridge and put it on the nighty, like Reagan’s vomit from the movie. That took 2 days to dry. On Halloween day, she … Read more

We purchased the hair clips and pom poms at a Dollar Store. For the makeup I watched a youtube video on creating zombie … Read more
We always have a themed Halloween party at work and we REALLY get into it! This year’s theme was undead/living dead. And since I’m not very good a scary, I thought I’d do something cute. I immediately thought of Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas because she is such a recognizable (undead) character and wouldn’t require much … Read more
This costume has been recreated because of it going viral and also by request. So here we go again! This was just as fun to make the second time around, and I may be partial, but I think Journey looks even cuter this four years later. ;) Originally, I was with my daughters at the … Read more
