‘PJ Masks’-Inspired Costume Ideas for the Whole Fam
Somewhere around the third birthday, you lose control over Halloween costumes. Sticking to a theme can be fun…and tricky.

Eleven and Mike? Please. Hopper and Joyce? Yawn. Dustin and Steve? So three years ago.

‘Don’t Worry Darling’-Inspired Costume Ideas
We’re kicking off Halloween 13, the 2022 edition, with one of this fall’s most buzzed-about movies: Don’t Worry Darling.

Unconventional ‘Hocus Pocus’-Inspired Costume Ideas
Hocus Pocus 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 1993 classic, hits Disney+ on September 30, so you better believe Sanderson-themed costumes are going to be hotter than ever.

Why You Can’t Get Taylor Swift’s Music Out of Your Head (Even If You Haven’t Heard It Yet)

‘Hocus Pocus’-Inspired Decor That Will Get You So Psyched for Halloween
Hocus Pocus 2 doesn’t hit theaters until September 30th, but it’d be hard to tell that from a simple search online. Buzz about the movie and merch abound—and considering how quickly Halloween decorations are already selling out (ahem, Skelly and Bath & Body Works’s now-infamous eyeball candle holder)—I have no qualms about daydreaming of Hocus…

Voodoo Doughnuts in Orlando: Is It Worth the Hype?
Strolling through Universal Orlando’s CityWalk, you can’t help but notice Voodoo Doughnuts: from the towering pink-and-black building to the 12-foot-tall replica of its Voodoo Doll doughnut to its pastry-barnacled throne outside, it’s total Instagram bait.

The Library Cookbook Club: A Fun Way to Bust Out of a “What’s for Dinner?” Rut
The internet has no shortage of recipe ideas—including several here—but lately, I’ve been on a make-and-repeat rut. Most weeks include some kind of tacos or burrito bowls, spaghetti with a veggie-laden meat sauce, a grilled chicken something-or-other.
