Fall/Halloween Indoor Decor

Oh it is my favorite time of year! The leaves are beautiful colors, the air has that crisp fire place smell, tea is a hundred times better. The warmth and comfort of sweaters and scarfs just add to the enjoyment. But one of the things I REALLY enjoy doing during the fall is decorating! The decorations for fall are so cute it's hard not to buy everything in store! With that said I'm going to show you how I decorated my room for this time of year.


My mom really enjoys this time of year as well so she likes to pick things up. This leave decoration was from Family Dollar. I looped it in and around my mirror. The mirror already has some leave and flower detailing but I love how this decoration made the mirror look.




As you can see in my mirror in the other photo the bookcase on the other side of the room has spiderweb. I got a bag at CVS which was 2/$5. One bag goes a longgg way. I placed the spiderweb in a way so that it didn't block the things I used on a daily bases. Such as my fish, Howard, who is in the top left corner. Can tell I really enjoy reading?



I also went to The Dollar Tree and pick this little knickknack. I though it was perfect! I was only $1 so I couldn't resist. It surprisingly great quality. It well crafted and pretty heavy. 


Along with the grave knickknack I also picked up this adorable snow globe. It has a cat! I can't turn down anything with a cat. The detail on the bottom is very nice. It has spiders and little graves around it. Again this is superb quality for The Dollar Tree!

You can't go wrong with the beloved pumpkin. This has been around since I was really young. I have been putting this in my room for the last couple of year because my mom has her favorite knickknacks. Since this has been around for a long time I'm not sure where it from. 
Last but not least I have these two little pumpkins on a book shelf near my desk. These also have been around for awhile so I don't know where they are from. You can find many decorations around this time of year and I wouldn't be surprised if you found similar things. I find the The Dollar Tree is not only inexpensive but some decorations are great quality. 
Please leave requests for me to do. 
Don't forget to follow!

Klorane and Pond's Review

What's better than taking off your makeup at night? Taking off your makeup with amazing makeup remover is! I got this sample of Klorane makeup remover from when I had a Birchbox membership. Birchbox is a monthly subscription of $10, you receive 4 to 5 deluxe samples of beauty product and a range of other products. This makeup remover was such a joy a to use! It smelt nice, didn't burn the eyes, it wasn't oily. You can purchase the Klorane makeup remover at drugstore.com for $16.

After I remove my eye makeup I use Pond's Luminous Clean makeup wipes. I have tried the original and the Evening Soothe makeup wipes. The Luminous Clean makeup wipes are my favorite because they smell amazing and make my skin feel better than the other wipes do. You can purchase Pond's makeup wipes at walmart.com and in store. You can also purchase them on ulta.com or in store.

My Top 8 Favorite Non-Scary Halloween Movies

As you can tell I'm a huge fan of Disney Channel movies.

I recommend watching all of these movies. By yourself, with your family, or your pets! If you have children these are perfect movies for them. I would suggest watching them just in case you feel they are not appropriate for them. They all should be kid friendly. I certainly enjoyed them when I was younger and still do!
