An optimistic Halloween begins with Decorations. Pumpkins, spiders, skeletons witches ghosts–all good things for Halloween. You could also add werewolves, bats, Frankenstein, and black cats. Be sure to have something that makes people say “EWWW!” Orange and black are staple colors for Halloween. Add people you love. Floating eyeballs make any drink delectable for Halloween. Crank up the scary music, wear a costume, and remember the candy!

Light plenty of candles. Be sure to name your food something clever. Give traditional foods a new “face”. Have FUN! Minimum costume is ONE BLACK TOOTH.

Rent a scary movie, have a poetry reading of scary poems –Edgar Allen Poe. Do something different.

Fiddler On The Roof Review & Tribute To Topol– OUT & ABOUT: One Woman’s Opinion by Dianne This performance of Fiddler On The Roof was electrifying and moved me to tears several times.

Topol's Performance Was Utterly Electrifying

10 Signs You Need A Hair Makeover:
1 ) You’re mood, you feel depressed and you may not realize it
2 ) You project it–change is refreshing and you haven’t been refreshed
3 ) You’re attached to a hair stylist who doesn’t want you to change (complacency)
4 ) When you look at your pictures from days gone by, you look the same, and not in a good way. Everyone else around you has evolved, but you have played it safe and stayed the same
5 ) Your hair just doesn’t suit your lifestyle
6 ) Just because you had a great hairstyle six years ago, that doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY style for you
7 ) You want to enhance your beauty
8 ) You haven’t experimented with color for three months or more. It’s like going to a restaurant and ordering the same thing over and over. How will you know if you like something if you don’t try it?
9 ) You’re personality isn’t reflected in your hairstyle
10) You haven’t received a compliment anytime recently on your hair
