Hello Kitty Narikiri Face Mask: Zombie | Review

When it comes to face masks, it’s pretty clear I enjoy clay based masks best, with paper based masks being my least favorite. But sometimes, I do come across a mask just too cute and too themed to pass up, even if it is paper. While visiting the Spooky Gudetama the Lazy Egg x Artbox Cafe & Boutique earlier this month, I saw the Hello Kitty Narikiri Face Mask: Zombie and couldn’t resist the cuteness of Hello Kitty and the Halloween theme of zombie!

Unfiltered Me | Sharing a bit about myself

[Ad- collab] Social media and what is put out into the world is often described as the best parts of people’s lives. They project what they want the world to see, and hide away anything else. Filters, editing, only showing good bits of life seem to be the go to way that people use the internet, however, I have always made it an effort to show the highs and lows of my life. I’ve shared unflattering pictures on Twitter, showed off moments of failure on Facebook and Instagram, and continued to just be – me. I don’t have much time to edit myself down to this perfect version, to filter until there is something that everyone will instantly go too.

Through this, I have found myself become more approachable – I am not this perfect person with a perfect life. I have imperfections, my skin isn’t baby soft, I am a real human who you can really see and talk too. When using dating sites, this is something to heavily consider, as it’s much better to be comfortable in your own skin as apposed to creating an image of something you are not. It’s important to continue to be yourself, even if yourself is quirky, funny, loud, not perfect.

A Day Out at Marsh Farm Halloween Festival

We returned to Marsh Farm, where we had previously gone to pick pumpkins, for their annual Halloween Festival – an impressive event which has a lot more going on than any of us expected.

Even though the days seem to be getting shorter, and the temperature keeps dropping, it’s more important than ever to make sure that you get out of the house when you can. We’d already travelled to pick pumpkins at Marsh Farm’s impressive Pumpkin Village earlier in the month, and while there we noticed that there was actually much more to the place than a village shop and extremely well laid-out and decorated pumpkin patch. We spotted an entryway reminiscent of theme park booths, and what looked like a carousel. We had to go back and see the whole thing – so we set a day aside and headed there on a quiet Sunday.

A Day Out at Hatter’s Farm

In the continued spirit of October, we made our way to Hatter’s Farm, an activity-clad farm which we’d occasionally spotted signs for while heading to the next city over. It had been the Corn (Maize) Maze that had originally caught our eyes – as there aren’t too many of them around this way, but it turned out that they actually had a couple of things going on beyond the opportunity to get lost in a field.

Corn Maze

I’d never actually been to a Corn Maze before, and neither had the kids (although, Jupiter, being from the United States, had been in dozens), so it was a really cool experience to finally manage to get along to one. It sounds really silly, but it’s very bizarre being dwarfed by corn, although the farm staff had done a great job of cutting wide paths through the field. Rather than just being a maze cut from crops there were also nine signposts which, together, served as an anagram for a mystery word. It gave an extra reason to explore all of the dead ends, which was welcome. The place was a bit muddy, with small feet getting stuck here and there!

Pumpkin Pancakes | Recipe

We love pancakes in our home! It’s something made at least weekly, with berries or homemade jams or syrups on top. As it is pumpkin season, and we have made so much pumpkin puree, it was only natural that we ended up making some pumpkin pancakes. These pancakes taste amazing and bring a lot of Autumn cheer to your breakfast table – perfect for a spooky Halloween breakfast or just a new fall favorite. I am sure they go great with some pumpkin spiced coffee too!
