Dead Good Day

So it is my favourite time of year, no forget Halloween I'm talking about the Day Of The Dead. If you have never heard of it have a read here, so now that you are clued up you can see why this is a great celebration. I love that it celebrates people you have lost, in colour and decoration. Why can't you be joyful about those people, I don't wish to remember the pain they went through. I want to think about the fact I was lucky enough to know them and the good times we shared. I have lost  A LOT ! of good people in my life, and I think about they all the time.

So my wonderful followers, I hope you will celebrate those you have lost, and enjoy this moment too. Sorry I have no outfit today but I will be doing some photo's of my week and so cool makeup looks. Plus no one has left feedback for what they would like to see.

Come on guy's and gal's what would you like to see in my next post?

So there is also some cool events going on like at Lush stores they are having this:

Come along to your local Lush shop on Saturday 30th October and join in the Day of the Dead celebrations! Call your local shop or check their Facebook pages for details.

From October 31st to November 2nd, the people of

Mexico celebrate el Día de los Muertos - the Day

of the Dead! The festival is a traditional and beautiful

celebration of the lives of those who have passed on

and allows the living to remember them in their own way.

The festival encompasses bright costumes, dancing

skeletons, candy skulls, showers of marigolds and the odd

indulgence in a tequila or two...

Hannah, our ambassador of fun and frolics, adores The Day of the Dead, and her passion for the celebration is so infectious that we had to create a range of products that would honour the truth and beauty of such a magical day.

To both Hannah and the spirits of those who have left us, this one's for you.
