Good morning & Happy Halloween lovely dreamers! And welcome to another Halloween infused blog post over here on the DoB blog!

Who here doesn't love Halloween, right?

The dressing up, putting on awesome costumes and make-up, eating treats and tons of candy (hey, don't judge, you do it two). We know we're supposed to be adults now, but we're just kids in disguise.

Because Andy and I (Maya) are so crazy about Halloween, and because it is a big part of who we are as individuals and as a couple, when October comes around, we love to just sit back, relax after a long exhausting day and enjoy a Halloween themed movie.

It's great for costume inspiration, but the best part of this activity is the fact that we don't need to spend a crazy amount of money to be with each other and have fun. So it's a definite "hell yeah!" for young couples out there who live on a tight budget as we do.

All you need is to grab your favourite Halloween themed snacks, put on your comfy PJs and you're all set.
