With Halloween less than a month away, take the time now to get your eco-friendly decorations and party supplies! Are you at a loss for costume ideas? Keep reading for eco-friendly, and budget-friendly costume ideas!
Consider Thrift Stores: As I do my weekly grocery shopping and errands I see many costumes hanging in window displays at thrift stores. What a waste to use a costume and then have it end up in a landfill somewhere. If you are looking for a costume stop in to your local thrift store, they may have just want you need! If you already have a costume, consider donating it after Halloween to that
thrift store.
National Costume Swap Day: October 13th. A nation-wide event that may be happening in your area; if not, then maybe you will want to register your town to host an event.
Visit: National Costume Swap Day for details!
Homemade Costumes: Recycle materials found around your home to make a unique costume! Inspire the creativity within your child(ren), allow him/her to make their costume from household items. Be sure to add your parental assistance where appropriate!

ECO-FRIENDLY DECORATIONS & PARTY SUPPLIES:
Let nature help with the decorations; use gourds, pumpkins, corn stalks...you get the idea!
Younger kids love to help decorate the home for an event--allow them to help you by making some of the decorations. How about fingerprint spiders or egg carton bats.

GREEN CLEAN YOUR HALLOWEEN:
With any party you host; be sure to keep your Brightly Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner handy for quick countertop and table wipe downs. Just before your guests arrive--spray the door's window with Brightly Green All Natural Glass Cleaner. A warming entryway says, "Welcome, we're glad you're here!"
