Friday Faves

Happy Halloween friends of fright!

I hope you’ll be enjoying the day in the style it so deserves by oohing and ahhing at all of the cute little Elsa’s that scamper up to your door, scaring the crap out of the teenagers with 5 o’clock shadows in hopes of convincing them this should be their final trick or treat voyage, and relishing the smell of burning pumpkins as their candle light flickers come to an end.

I’ll be donning the wig up above as part of my Halloween outfit. What that is, I haven’t quite figured out yet. I just hope I don’t end up looking like my model come Saturday morning. Remember friends, it’s about moderation in all areas on Halloween. And can someone pass skeletor above an ultra rich deep conditioning treatment, PLEASE?

Have a great Friday and let’s get to this week’s Friday Faves…
