BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

This officially starts October 1.  But if you just can't wait then, here are some prompts: Ideas to kick off fall?  Any superstitions?  Favorite things about pumpkins?  Mars or Hershey's brand candy?  Ways to keep your spirits up as the season changes?  Creepy things that you enjoy?  Halloween  nail ideas?  What colors compliment orange and black?  How have you noticed Halloween changing over time?  Any cocktails or mock-tails that sound interesting?  Favorite sounds of the season?  Are you into the Hocus-Pocus movie mania?  Best baked goods?

October 1: Who's your favorite witch?

October 2: Top three candies to have in your trick or treat bag...and bottom three.

October 3: What's your decorating style?  It could be for Halloween or autumn in general.

October 4: Favorite pumpkin spice foods.  (Alternatively, sound if you aren't a pumpkin spice enthusiast.)

Ooh thank you for this thread @greeneyedgirl107.  I'm ready for the cozy fall season and Halloween. 👻 🎃 You picked some very fun and cute prompts. 😊

(I already have my pumpkin candles burning 🧡🤎 and the weather has gotten cooler, so we're all dressing more cozy, feels like fall too me.)

What color compliments orange and black? I think it's brown. 🍂

@CynthieLu COZY is the perfect word!

Glad you liked the thread!  I tried to make it different than last year.

I love it @greeneyedgirl107.  It's so festive and fun. I liked your thread last year, I'm so happy you brought it back. 😁

And it totally helps spread of some Halloween and fall fun on the threads too. 🍁🍂

I am so ready for spooky season @greeneyedgirl107! I felt the need to wear a scarf today since it's just a tiny bit colder outside, and that alone makes me feel like its fall already. 🤪🍂

@GeorginaBT great idea!  I'm about ready to start wearing gloves in the morning.   I wish Charming Charlie still had brick and mortar stores.   They had lovely, inexpensive gloves.   I like the idea of wearing beautiful gloves, like old Hollywood.   I read that Vivien Leigh had a glove fetish.   How romantic.
