Spookify Your Home

Admittedly, I have been compiling a Dia De Los Muertos Pinterest board since April. Whether you're throwing a party or sitting on the couch, eating too much candy and watching every Scariest Places on Earth episode ever produced, here are some of my favorite internet finds to spookify your house.

Halloween Wine

A piece of cheese just went down my dress. Has that ever happened to anyone else? I also want to point out that I recently discovered the majority of my friends who like Jenna Marbles, are men. 

Okay, I’m ready. I’ve been inspired from last week’s #WineWednesday tweet, “A Delicious & Demonic Halloween including wine choices, w/ Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka”, to create my own spooktacular Halloween-ish wine list from the vault of my personal favorites (there were a lot, it took some time). And also include a "Do not buy list" (there were a lot, it took some time).

Easy Housewarming Ideas

A friend of mine recently moved into a micro loft (aka, dorm room sized apartment), and I wanted to create a gift basket that was more than just a bottle of wine, but nothing outrageously useless. Without knowing exactly what she needed, I took her space, general interests, and my budget into consideration.

My housewarming gift only cost $30 and is 100% useful

Spring 2013 Peek into Punk

Talk to a twenty-something with a mohawk, band t-shirt, karabiner with at least 15 keys, and full sleeve and he'll probably be able to tell you which bar sells PBR, or explain that although his band sounds precisely like Fugazi, it's it's own thing man. But he probably won't know who Steven Cox and Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown are or think his DIY studded belt belongs in a museum. Until now, but on his own terms, because he will rebel if you force him.

The Folk Punk Ruckus of Larry And His Flask

Lately I’ve been digging the supporting acts as much, if not more, than the headliners. Cadence Weapon during the Japandroids show, Math the Band on tour with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and as of Friday, Larry and His Flask at the Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls show, September 7th, Royale, Boston.

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. III

I have unintentionally acquired a lot of school teacher friends who are pretty much the biggest whine faces on the internets. You are two days into work after a three month vacation. You are not allowed to have a Christmas break count down already! I love you guys, but honestly, screw you. Know how my summer was? It was a big pile of paper work and hearing about how much you love the beach.

This drink is dedicated to all the hardworking office folk like myself who need a break. Forget an apple for the teacher, here's a caramel apple martini for the executive. And a fucking good playlist too.

Plan a Trip to Portland

Essentially a foodie pilgrimage, I spent three days and two nights in Portland, Maine, (destroying my diet) being a fat kid.

Deciding to forego a typical Cape Cod Labor Day Weekend, we headed up to Maine where our money could be spent on dietary delights that were Food Network worthy. A basket of overpriced, indistinguishable fried food and melty soft serve versus co-op harvested vegetables, grilled and pressed on locally made artisan bread?

Welcome to Vacation Land.

Here is my mini-Maine guide to Portland.
