I love unusual Halloween costume ideas—and any excuse to throw a themed party—so it’s no surprise that during my college years, sharing the most over-the-top celebrity-inspired costumes and All Hallows Eve-themed treats became my thing.

Back then, I hosted the 13-day series on Collegiate Cook, a site devoted to sharing easy recipes for university students. It didn’t really fit the food blog vibe, as costumes became the breakout hit, so I brought it to Life Between Weekends. Every fall, I start seeing searches swell for things like Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour ‘fit, ‘Matilda’-inspired looks and absolutely anything Taylor Swift-related. I’m psyched to report that the series is coming back for 2024, launching on Monday, Sept. 30.

Every day for the next 13 days, you can head here for a new recipe, decorating or costume idea, all to ensure your Halloween is the best one yet. I’ll be sharing brand new ideas, as well as updating old favorites to ensure they have the latest products and pricing (and ensure everything is in stock).
