Oh, and if you were wondering how the DIY body wrap thing I mentioned last post went, it was kind of a #fail since I totally ate a meal while I had it on - which pretty much defeated the purpose of it.  Oops.  I also tried it last night after dinner and wore it overnight and supposedly lost 3" - but then again, I was pretty full from dinner so my measurement this morning was basically the measurements I am normally...??  I'll try it again tonight and we'll see if there is a difference or not.  I'll try not to eat so much this time.

DIY Costume: Midnight Ninja

Yep, I'm back with another DIY Halloween costume idea for you!  Are you excited?  Well, I am.

So while browsing Halloween costumes online, I came across a few that I really liked but the prices for them were pretty ridiculous.  The average price for the costumes I wanted were $30 - $60.  That's a little too much for my budget, especially since it's only for a few hours on one night.  And with three kids and Halloween being on a school night this year, I'm only going around the neighborhood - not to a super fab Halloween party.

One of the costumes I liked was this "Deadly Ninja" costume.  I like how its a little sexy, but still appropriate for a wild night of trick-or-treating.

Isn't it cute?  I thought so.  But for $50, I'm sure we can come up with something a little cheaper, right?  RIGHT.

Midnight Ninja by frikkenduckie featuring stiletto heel boots

See, basically the same thing.  I'm sure we all have a basic black tank top and black leggings laying around our closets somewhere.  The fingerless gloves can be made using a pair of old black socks.  Use red ribbon or yarn (or cut an old red tshirt into strips) to wrap around your legs and forearms and cover your head and face using a black scarf.  The black knee-high boots can be substituted for any black shoe and just do a basic smokey eye for your makeup and that's about it - instant ninja!

So what do you guys think?  Do you think you'll be a ninja this year?  What costumes have you had your eye on?

DIY Costume: Miley Cyrus

You had to know this was coming.

With all the controversy surrounding the former Hannah Montana over her new "bad ass" image, I figured it was only right to put together a costume in her honor.  And because the first one I put together took so little effort (because she wears so little clothes) I decided to give you not one, but TWO Miley Cyrus costumes this Halloween.  Just try not to catch a cold when you go out in them.

Miley Cyrus is a WRECKing Ball by frikkenduckie featuring a chanel lipstick

Her "outfits" in both the "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" videos were very minimal and basically all white.  Instead of just the plain white crop top and leggings that she wears through the majority of the "We Can't Stop" video, I decided to add a black beanie (which she wears towards the end) and a teddy bear for you to strap to your back - plus a naked Miley tee will pull the whole look together.

The "Wrecking Ball" costume is basically a white tank, white undies or boyshorts, brown boots, red lipstick and a sledgehammer.  I do not recommend you go trick-or-treating in this outfit - you may get pneumonia.  Don't say I didn't warn you.
