Keeping the Halloween Scaries Away

For those who love all things spooky, Halloween can be one of the best times of the year. Creative costumes, over-the-top decorations, and bags of your favorite candy all make this holiday a pretty laid-back celebration. There are no big meals to cook, no gift wrapping to worry about, and the only stress you should feel is from the horror movies in your Halloween movie marathon. But even a fun holiday like Halloween can use a little extra chill, so we’ve got a few ideas for how you can keep the Halloween scaries away.

Have a game plan

Try to account for potential obstacles and anything that might complicate your good time and have a backup plan where needed. Make yourself a rough timetable and a list of everything you need to remember in order to have an eerily easy evening!

Be prepared

Do you find yourself running out of candy for trick-or-treaters every year? Always forget one critical component of your costume? This year, save yourself the stress by stocking up on candy (we’re sure you’ll find a use for any that’s left over!) so you won’t be the house that ran out again. A dress rehearsal for your costume is also a great way to make sure you have everything you need so you aren’t scrambling at the last minute. For kids, consider making a costume kit in advance — all of the parts of the costume stored together in a bin or a garment bag, stored in a place where small hands can’t carry away a critical piece you’ll be scrambling to find come October 31st. 

Take your CBD

Be flexible with your routine

Instead of trying to stick to your usual routines, try adjusting them to accommodate all the wonderful weirdness of this holiday. Plan a simple dinner that can be interrupted when you need to go hand out candy, adapt the kids’ bedtime routine as needed, and do your best to go with the flow for this one night. The less stressed out you are, the more fun you’ll be able to have.
