Blogtober Tag 2020 – Our First Blogtober

We’ve never participated in Blogtober before, but we figured now was a good time to start! Each day, we will be releasing a Blogtober post – which will be themed as Autumn or Halloween content. We will also have some posts going live on other topics that aren’t themed, but these won’t be marked as Blogtober content. As we normally post three times a week, posting every day and doubling up on some days seemed like the best way to make Blogtober work for our blog. As we love Halloween and fall, getting a bunch of lovely, themed posts seemd like a fun time. To start off our first Blogtober, we are doing out first ever Blogger Tag!

What’s your favourite fall scent?

Jupiter: My favorite fall scent is baking pumpkin pie. I love the smell out of the oven and how much it fills your home.
Dann: My favourite autumn scent is burning firewood, as it reminds me of bonfire night.

Do you prefer pumpkin pie or apple pie?

Jupiter: I prefer pumpkin pie to apple pie, but apple crisp to apple pie.
Dann: Apple pie is my prefference.

What’s one autumn tradition you have?

Jupiter: I have so many different traditions, but one that always comes to mind is carving pumpkins. I love carving out their faces, roasting their seeds, and putting them on the front porch.
Dann: Kicking all of the fallen leaves is something I can always remember doing, especially around this time of year.

What are you planning on dressing up as for Halloween?

Jupiter: I will probably be a skeleton or a big cat!
Dann: I am planning on being a vampire, though I haven’t decided which cast from What We Do In The Shadows, but it will be inspired by that!

What are you most excited for in Fall?

Jupiter: We are throwing a Halloween Party, which I am very excited for! I have not thrown a Halloween Party in a long time and I love getting all of the games, treats, and decorations in place before it starts. Even though this year it will be small, it is nice to do some celebrating.
Dann: I am most excited about decorating the house to be all spooky.

What is your favorite scary movie?

Jupiter: I hate all scary movies, if I am honest! I quite like What We Do In The Shadows lately though – but it’s really not scary at all.
Dann: The Thing is my favourite scary movie because it is one of the best suspense horror movies out there – and one of the few “random why is this thing killing me” movies that uses science fiction to make the plot make sense.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Jupiter: My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn. I know it’s a love it or hate it treat, but it’s something I have always loved.
Dann: I like the jelly snakes, which are my favourite candy all year round, but they are snakes which makes them spooky!

Favorite Pumpkin Spiced flavor thing?

Jupiter: My favorite is the current pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks!
Dann: I quite like pumpkin spiced candles – if they count.

What is your warmest Fall memory?

Jupiter: My warmest memory was when I was in America with my cousin, we would all go trick or treating together. We would meet up at my house all dressed up and then go door to door, collecting as much candy as we could gather, before settling down back home and doing big trades. There was just so much warmth and joy when we were all together.
Dann: The first memory that comes to mind is bonfire night – it doesn’t matter that it’s cold, as there is a fire lit, fireworks, your friends and family – it’s just a warm and lovely memory.

What is your favorite autumn must have?

Jupiter: My favourite must have is cozy jumpers. I love wearing long, warm jumpers and staying warm.
Dann: Long nights and hot chocolate is my favourite must have, they are just so nice this time of year.

As this is our first Blogtober tag, we wrote up the questions and passed them on to a bunch of bloggers who are also doing Blogtober. Check out their blogs to see even more Blogtober content!
