Allexis from Life of a Coy Fish & A Halloween Survival Guide

Today I have an amazing blogger to introduce you to, Allexis from Life of a Coy Fish. I've known Allexis since middle school and we kind of lost touch after high school but we re-connected through the blogging world. She's so sweet, funny, and has amazing personal style. 

Now without further adieu here's Allexis!

Hello Dearest Lou readers! I'm Allexis and I blog about fashion/personal style/lifestyle over at Life of a Coy Fish and I'm so excited to be posting round these parts today! Cecilia gave me the choice to do either a fashion related post or a Halloween related guest post for you all today. I was torn between which to do. I knew if I went the Halloween route I would want to do something funny, but then again, I thought maybe it might be better to do something fashion related seeing as fashion is what I blog about on a day to day basis. Then as I was going through some of my old posts for inspiration I was hit with a stroke of genius! I thought of that one Ford commercial about how AND is better than OR. Ya know, the one where the couple is saying how sweet and sour chicken is better than sweet OR sour chicken? That one. Anyway, it hit me that my blog is kind of like sweet and sour chicken. It's a mix of two completely unrelated things, fashion AND humor. I like to post pictures of my personal style, with weirdly funny text about the odd happenings of my life underneath. Now, picture a bootylicious gospel choir singer belting out, "Sweet AND sour chicken. MmmmMmmm, hallelu!" That's my blog for ya. ;) Now, without further ado, here is my Halloween guest post for you all! Enjoy!

A Halloween Survival Guide (For the Halloween Grinches and the Halloween Cindy Lous)

For the Cindy Lou Whos...(You know who you are, the pumpkin spice latte drinking, apple bobbing, haunted house loving, costume inventing geniuses)

1. Pick an awesome kick a$* costume...like this creative fox look, or this artistic deer costume.
2. Embrace the fact that no matter how old you get you will always love Halloween because...

3. Have a blast picking out the candy you will be passing out this Halloween because we all know half of it is really for you anyway...
4. Gather up a strong group of friends to visit a haunted house or maze with you. Fun will ensue and you will come out feeling like this, except instead of excited you're scared...
5. When you take your kids out Trick-Or-Treating and you inevitably come across the cheapskate house, try to remember that candy is candy, and well, beggars can't be choosers. So, avoid being this mom...
6. When you head out on Halloween for a night of spooky fun you're feeling like...
 
7. but when you finally reach home after hours of Trick-Or-Treating with the kiddos or partying with friends and you feel like this...
8. Remember that you LOVE Halloween and you've still got a stash of your kid's candy to stuff yourself into a sugar induced coma with...
For the Grinches...(because you're secretly a Halloween Grinch, and that's OK.)
1. The first step to surviving Halloween if you're secretly a Halloween Grinch is realizing you are one. How do you realize this you ask? When people quote that Mean Girl's line that goes, "In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything about it", you're standing off on the side lines looking at everybody's sexy butterfly, sexy cat, sexy oompa loompa, costumes thinking, "that ain't true. *Cough* Hoe bag.*Cough*".

2.When 90% of the country is off shouting "shots, shots, shots" you're shouting, "Giant fun size candy bags for a dollar, giant fun size candy bags for a dollar!" Take heart because this is perfectly acceptable because, um, candy is GOOOD.

3. Everyone has a Halloween Party and everyone will be upset if you don't come to theirs, except this won't be a problem for you because as a Halloween Grinch you'd rather sit at home saying..
4. If you're a single Grinch then when you see the Cindy Lou Whos of Halloween and their significant others aptly dressed up in those annoyingly adorable couples costumes you go...
5. But then you get over it because you're single and IF you do decide to hit up a party you get to be "mackin' on all dat" and be like...

...Well, I don't want to take up miles and miles of space here on the lovely Cecilia's blog so let's leave my little Halloween Grinch list there,BUT if you're just on the edge of your seat dying to see steps 6-10 of the list be sure to stop by my blog to check out the rest! Or, well, if you're just dying to read more of my odd humor and take gulping glances at my passion for fashion then by all means stop by and say hello too!
