Many wardrobes can easily be separated into two categories: statement-making pieces, such as sequined, printed, or ruffled designs, and classic wardrobe staples, like a simple, basic t-shirt and jeans. It's the latter that tends to be the most versatile, balancing out outrageous items while also working together to create easy, simple, and classic outfits. And among the basics, a blazer is an investment worth making.
There are numerous ideas of how to style a blazer, whether you're using it to balance out something more elaborate, like a beautiful dress, or making a sweat suit feel fancy with a structured layer. A bold-colored option can balance out a bold pattern, while a Barbie pink colour option can add a welcome splash of color. Moreover, since there are so many different types of blazers, you can find a shape, size, or detail that works best for you and your fashion style.
Some Ideas of What to Wear with the Blazer are at the Bottom:
With Jeans: One of the best tricks for styling a blazer is with blue jeans. It adds a bit of charm to what would otherwise be a simple look, pulling everything together and providing extra warmth on winter days.
With Shorts: When it's not too cold and not too hot, it can leave any fashion lover feeling stumped. Styling your blazer with shorts and having it double as a light jacket provides the perfect amount of warmth for in-between
With a Matching Bottom: it's the same idea as a suit, just with your own clothes. If you're looking to dress things up, try to pair it up with a matching bottom, like pink or black.
With a Skirt: Something printed, pleated, or sequined will feel less over-the-top with the help of a structure Alternatively, a brighter blazer can add some charm to a simple black skirt.
With Sweatpants: The happy medium between comfy and style. A blazer has the ability to truly transform casual pieces and pull a look together for any occasion. Styling it with sweatpants will look amazing.

Waffles for Esther
A solo journaling game by Pandion Games
Materials
game manual
a journal or other recording method
standard deck of cards, minus jokers
a set of polyhedral dice (or digital ones)
a coin
Tumblr media
Premise
As the waitress of a small-town diner, your mission is to make every customer who sits down for a drink and a meal as happy as can be while trying to balance familiarity and professionalism juuust right. Among the regulars is Esther, who always comes in at the same time each day to order the same items from the menu: a coffee (one sugar and a splash of milk), the diner’s signature waffles (with two sliced strawberries and apple jam syrup on the side) and some hashbrowns (with extra ketchup). However, as you turn to deliver Esther’s waffles, she has gone missing – and as the pinnacle of customer service, you cannot have that! Embark on a mission to solve the mystery of Esther’s disappearance and ensure that she gets her waffles, preferably in one piece.
Mechanics
Waffles for Esther is based on a set of randomized prompts working together to help tell you a story, aided by a simple but effective skill check system.
You begin by setting up the game, giving your character a name and a bit of a background. It is also recommended that you create a personal connection to the town by drawing a map of the provided locations (or make up your own to change it up). Each round begins with you choosing a location to investigate and rolling on a random complication you encounter there.  A skill check (Waitress and Detective, respectively a d12 and d10 at the beginning) determines your success – will you find a clue or will your inquiries into the mystery result in hilarious chaos? Clues are provided as a list of random items you draw from a standard deck of cards. The more clues you can gather during your hijinks, the better your chances of getting the conclusion right and solving the mystery, as the number of clues raises the value of the die you can roll in a final check at the end of your game.
While succeeding might seem easy at first, every time you fail a skill check reduces the value of the skill die you used – and you can only replenish your skills once! So, make sure to roll well…it’s for Esther, after all.
Tumblr media
Thoughts and Examples from my Playthrough
What makes this premise work so well is the figure of Esther, our mystery woman, an almost blank canvas except for her meticulous order, and the backdrop of a small town – the perfect recipe for a cozy mystery adventure! Combined with some hilarious, charming and outrageous prompts, a set of clues that fit well together no matter their combination and a skill check system that had me on (a comfortable) edge at all times, this is an enjoyable ride for a night in or a few relaxing minutes each day. Clearly, some inspiration has been taken from your well-known mystery shows and books, think Nancy Drew and Miss Marple, with an emphasis on a light-hearted tone. I appreciate that safety advice has been added nevertheless – it’s good to remind players that they’re in charge of their game, even if it veers off into an unintended direction.
I’m honestly a little awkward still in roping prompts together, but should they not add up in the end, you are free to leave out clues you cannot link to the mystery (albeit you’ll miss out on raising the die value further for your final check). Even so, some of my fails were much funnier than my successes – a game that makes failing something you almost look forward to truly celebrates hijinks the right way. Some of my favourite results were:
being run over by the ancient mailman and taking an unintended bath in the town lake,
almost hitting the president of the book club over the head and promptly being excluded from the same,
vomiting into an urn at the funeral home…one that was already filled with some poor man’s ashes, and
ending up in a LARP, where my arrival prompted the story to turn into a time travel adventure.
Tumblr media
The hints and hijinks system is, in my opinion, what makes this unique and entertaining. It’s not often that games find a way to utilize failed rolls in a way that makes sense for the premise of the game and gives the player more than a “whelp, that was nothing” to work with.
Although my Esther was a courageous woman who fought for the town’s well-being, your Esther might be a more nefarious one – who can say? The game leaves ample room for interpretation, handing you the tools to tell your own story without dumping all the hard work of finding ideas on you. Of course, the usual challenges of journaling games are present: ultimately, it depends on you how much fun you’ll have with the narrative. If you’re like me and have trouble coming up with connections, there’s always the option to play with someone else and bounce ideas off each other. Another fun variety might be to replace the default locations with some from your own town or simply make them more outrageous (an abandoned theme park, perhaps, or an animal shelter, a gay bar…).
Let’s not forget to mention the delicious little graphics included in the manual as well as the simple but effective layout. Can we appreciate the colour choices made? Everything serves the retro small-town vibe and I’m here for it. The versatility of the system has already spawned a game jam, which is always a good sign for if a system works or not. I think Pandion Games managed to make both a perfectly executed journaling game as well as an incredibly useful SRD and I hope to see and play more games in the same vein as Waffles for Esther for some time to come!
Tumblr media
This might be your cup of coffee if...
you like to read and/or watch cozy mysteries.
you are not afraid of being proven wrong – and can revel in the funny consequences!
you long for something more casual and light-hearted to brighten up your day.
you appreciate a game with lower stakes, where you won’t have to save the world for once (but…you could, if you wanted to).
you want something with almost zero prep- and maximum hijinks-time.
You can get Pandion Game’s Waffles for Esther HERE on itch.io! Make sure to check out The Jester King’s Dance as well, a darker game based on the same mechanics, and the still running game jam to create your own contribution in the same vein!

12 Beach Games Ideas – Fun For Everyone
Table Of Contents
Going to the beach is always a blast. There are waves to boogey board on, water to splash around in, and sand to bury your friends in too. Some fun in the sun is definitely something we enjoy, and you probably do too.
When it’s summertime and you have the day off work, there is rarely anything better than getting your tan on and chillaxing on the beach. That being said, you can probably only take so many hours of being at the beach until you start to get bored. We all think that we can be at the beach from sunup until sundown without a hint of boredom, but more often than not, a few hours into any beach trip, and your excitement might just start to wane.
So, today we want to talk about some enjoyable beach games you can play to keep everybody occupied and in the fun zone. Let’s go over some family-friendly games and some more adult-friendly games you can try out the next time you hit the beach!
A Treasure Hunt
One fun activity that you can do at the beach is have a treasure hunt. Treasure hunts are really neat because everyone can join in. If you are just trying to keep the kids busy, then hide some toys and random treats nearby, so the kids can roam around looking for them.
It will keep the kids busy and give you some breathing space too. If you want a lot of free time, bury the treasure deep and hide it in difficult to find locations! You could also just make a list of random beach objects the kids have to find, like rocks, feathers, shells, and other such items that can be found on any beach.
This might be more for the kids, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t make an adult-friendly treasure hunt! If you are at the beach with your friends, hide some adult treats in the sand, around the dunes, behind grass, and other such places. We aren’t going to tell you what adult-friendly treats are, but we are sure you can use your imagination to come up with something that your friends will love to find.
Paddle Ball Toss Game
You know that game you used to play as a kid at the beach, the one with those Velcro covered balls and the paddles you held in your hands, also with Velcro? That’s exactly what we are talking about. Ok, so the point of that Velcro paddle ball game is somewhat unknown. Seriously, what’s the point of it? Who knows, nobody may ever know, but for some reason, everybody seems to love playing it!
Beach Pictionary
A cool beach game that is fit for everybody is beach Pictionary. One reason it’s so cool is because you don’t even need to buy the actual game to play. Sure, it might not be exactly like Pictionary, but if you wanted to play that exact same game, you could have just stayed at home! Anyway, if you want, create a list of pictures, or cards with things to draw on them. Get a couple of sticks, fine pointed ones if you can, and get to drawing in the sand.
You can have people pick cards and use their stick to draw in the sand whatever it says on the card. What you write on the cards is up to you, so you can have people draw some pretty outrageous or hilarious things. You can use kid topics for the young ones, or if it’s just you and friends, you can always go with some racier drawings too! Either way, it’s a super inexpensive or even free game to play at the beach, and it will absolutely make for some big laughs too.
Sand Games – Castles Anybody?
Alright, so this may not be exactly a beach game, but heck, what better to do at the beach than build things out of sand? Sandcastles, sand huts, forts, holes, and anything in between. Seriously, sand is already there, it’s free, and there’s an abundance of it too.
If you are at the beach with kids, get some buckets, little shovels, and whatever else belongs in a sandcastle-building arsenal, and get to work. It’s a great way to keep the kids occupied, and it’s something you might enjoy too. There are some pretty great sandcastle-building competitions out there. If all else fails, you can create a game out of it, to see who can build the best sandcastle or structure of whatever kind.
Not to mention, you can also bury people in the sand too. Maybe you can bury grandma in the sand while she sleeps and see how long it takes for her to notice that only her head is free. All jokes aside, you can definitely create some fun competitions out of burying people in the sand, maybe by creating a different body on the surface, such as that of a mermaid.
Who Can Get The Kite Up The Highest?
Another cool game to play at the beach is to see who can get their kite to fly the highest. Yes, you do need to have people who know how to fly kites, there has to be wind, and having a couple decent kites probably won’t hurt either. That said, you can easily find cheap kite, or make your own, so that shouldn’t be an issue. All this game involves is seeing who can get their kite to fly the highest. It’s simple in theory, but actually quite challenging!
Horseshoes
A great game to play for the adults, especially after a couple of beers (although in no way do we advocate public drinking), is a good old horseshoe game. There’s just something about adults, a cold beer, and a game of horseshoes that goes together. It’s a whole lot of fun, it’s challenging, and you can provide rewards for the winners too. Kids can play horseshoes too, but it is a pretty hard game, so they might just end up getting frustrated.
Bucket Relay
So, you probably know the whole egg and spoon race that kids play. Well, there are water bucket relays, kind of like this too. All you need for this are some buckets, some larger ones and smaller ones. Have the kids line up, like a relay race. They then have to run to the water, fill up a small bucket, run back without spilling any water, and dump it into the larger bucket.
The aim is to cycle through all players until the large bucket is full of water. It’s a fun beach game to play when there are 6 or more people present, whether kids or adult, as it is a team sport, so to speak. Make some teams, whether kids vs adults, family vs family, men vs women, or whatever else, and see who can fill up those buckets the fastest!
The Digging Game
You know something that will definitely keep the kids occupied for a good hour at the beach? Digging a hole, that’s what! Digging holes can be done with a bucket or shovel, but if you want to draw it out a bit, so it takes longer, get your kids to use their bare hands.
The aim of the game is to see who can dig the deepest hole. It’s super time consuming, it doesn’t cost a single penny, and for whatever reason, kids can’t seem to get enough of it. Sure, it might not be a super adult-oriented activity, unless you consider that you’ll probably get an hour of breathing room from hyper and sugar-filled kids.
Frisbee – Ultimate or Normal
Frisbee is another one of those games that can be played anywhere and by anyone, whether young or old, at the park or the beach, or anywhere in between. If you are with younger kids, you could just stick to good old frisbee, or in other words, playing catch with it and just throwing it back and forth.
However, if you have older kids in the mix, teenagers, or it’s just you and friends sans kids, you can always turn it into a game of ultimate frisbee. It’s fast paced, it requires some skill, and it’s got enough action to keep adults happy too. All you need is a frisbee and a fairly large area to play in, and people willing to run around in the hot sun.
Beach Bowling
Something that everybody seems to love doing is bowling. Whether you want to call it a sport or a game, it’s something that is quite enjoyable. Now, being in a dingy bowling alley isn’t always great, especially the smell, and even worse, those nasty bowling shoes that every Joe and Mary with stinky feet have worn over the past decade. Yet, when you go to the beach, you are out in the sun, there’s fresh air, and no need to wear bowling shoes.
Go to a dollar store or game store, get a small plastic bowling ball, or any kind of ball really, and get a set of plastic bowling pins. Yeah, you probably won’t be using a real bowling fall for this. You could even line up some bottles, so you don’t have to buy plastic pins. At any rate, beach bowling is something that everybody, young and old, can enjoy.
Rock Tower Building … An Inukshuk
Yet another fun beach game that is fun for all ages is a tower building game, or even a contest to see who can build the biggest and best Inukshuk. For those that don’t know, an Inukshuk is a rock statue of a person.
It’s fun because each person has to go find the right rocks to use to build a tower or statue, and then comes the real fun, trying to balance those rocks so they stay upright. No, it’s not nearly as easy as it sounds, but it is absolutely a fun challenge that will keep everybody occupied.
The Parachute Game
Parachute games are always fun. It’s where you get a big blanket, towel, or one of those parachute cloths that daycare centers have, you then put a ball on top of it, have people stand around it holding the towel or cloth, then see how high you can fling that ball up into the air. Sure, it doesn’t take much imagination or even skill really, but it can be a whole lot of fun, especially for the kids. It’s simple, fun, and doesn’t cost much either.
Conclusion
There are plenty of great games that you can play at the beach; some games are best for kids, but even those are fun for adults, because they allow for a few minutes of time without screaming kids, and yes, there are plenty of adult-friendly games too.
A trip to the beach doesn’t have to be just you sitting on a towel roasting in the sun. If you find the right people and the right games to play with them, it can be a big time blast—real fun in the sun.

40 Office Halloween Costume Ideas
How popular is Halloween? According to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey, Americans were set to spend around $9 billion in 2018. And more than a third of this tally ($3.2 billion) went to costumes.
So, who are the people spending the $3.2 billion in costumes? Well, they could be your employees. And if you’ve decided to allow your employees to wear costumes to work, you also may want to join them! Of course, you’ll also want the costumes to be appropriate to the work environment. But where can you and your employees get Halloween costume ideas?
Search no more. Here are 40 office Halloween costume ideas that will allow you and your employees to have fun while still projecting the right image for your small business.
Office Halloween Costume Ideas List
Halloween Costumes From The Office
It seems appropriate to start this list with ideas from hit NBC television show The Office. And the effort Dwight Shrute puts into his costumes on the show should help get the ball rolling. Here is Dwight as the Joker from “The Dark Knight”.
This is from the Employee Transfer episode which aired originally on October 30, 2008.

Let Your Employees Dress up as You
Your employees may be concerned they’ll get in some hot water for doing this. But assure them it’s all in good fun (as long as you’re comfortable taking a joke.) If everyone goes along with it, this could be great for morale!
Dwight Shrute
The popularity of The Office means it has fans across all demographics. And with Dwight’s shenanigans on the show, it is only fair anyone should be able to dress like him. Here is a simple costume which shows your appreciation for Dwight.

An Emoji
Emojis let you express how you feel when you are messaging. This makes another easy DIY costume. You can create emojis on a piece of cardboard with different emotions and use different ones throughout the day. Or have one displaying them all at the same time.
Cotton Candy Costume
Another thing which is synonymous with Halloween is candy. So why not go as cotton candy. Here’s a playful DIY costume you can make with just a few items.
image: AWW SAM
Vampire
Here’s an all-time classic Halloween costume classic. While it is not as original, men and women can go as a vampire. You can give it your own twist by adding special-effects, contact lenses and more.
Candy Corn
While still on the candy theme, it wouldn’t be Halloween without candy corn. This fun and bright costume will cheer everyone up at the office.
image: Liveaboard Takes the Suburbs
Ghost
Two holes in a sheet and you have a ghost costume. As far as Halloween costume ideas for office workers go, this has got to be one of the easiest ones.
A Fortune Teller in your Office
One way to get everyone in the office to participate in the festivities of Halloween is to go dressed as a fortune teller. This costume is especially creative if the person also includes some of the tools of the trade.

A post shared by Judith DeNiro (@judith_deniro) on Oct 26, 2018 at 11:03am PDT
Food Costumes
Want to be a vegetable, fruit, snack, dessert or any other food type? Dressing as an edible is very popular. You can be as creative as you want with these ideas. Just make sure you will still be able to work with your costume.
Clark Kent/Superman
This costume could actually be a two for one. You can dress in a suit with glasses and be Clark Kent. But if something should arise in the office, you can unbutton your shirt and reveal you are actually Superman.
Social Butterfly
This costume has become popular in the past couple of years. However, you can add your favorite social media channels and make it your own.
View this post on Instagram
I’ve always been teased about being a social butterfly ? so I thought it only appropriate to go as one to work today! I so enjoy pun inspired costumes.

Mime
If you have black skinny jeans, a striped shirt, suspenders and a beret, you have yourself a mime costume. Add the white makeup and you are ready to amuse your co-workers all day long.
The Twitter Bird
A certain president has made Twitter more popular than ever. So why not go as the Twitter bird and get everybody tweeting. This DIY costume comes from Elizabethany, a radio and social media personality.
image: Elizabethany
The Cast of Seinfeld
If you have a small or large group, this costume idea can include the four main characters, or many of the other well know supporting cast. You can take it a step further and include the whole office. Speaking of offices, you can do this for The Office or any of your other favorite shows. All it takes is clothes you probably have in your closet
Rock, Paper, Scissors
Make this childhood game come to life with adult-sized costumes of rock, paper, scissors.

The Addams Family
On the slightly creepier and adult side, you can do The Addams Family. If there is one family which epitomizes Halloween, this one is it with a great sense of humor to boot.
Is that Photoshopped?
Photoshop is so popular it has become a verb. And if you make your costume this intricate, your co-workers will be asking if you have been photoshopped.

Temporary Tattoos
Temporary tattoos are a great way to create a different persona. They are cheap and easy to apply. You can go all out and really create a great costume with this idea.
Easy Ceiling Fan Costume
This costume uses a simple play on words to get its message across. You’ll make co-workers think for a minutes than laugh at the pun. This is easy to do, funny and not too outrageous.

Uncle Sam
Do you work at an accounting firm? What better way to keep everyone on their toes than to dress as Uncle Sam. All you need is a top hat, a white wig, a bow tie, a goatee and you are set.  You can add the coat and the striped pants if you want to go all out.
Bread Winner
This is another costume which takes the meaning of a word literally and makes it funny. All you need are some medals around your neck and some bread.
image: Good Housekeeping
Comic Book Super Heroes for Men and Women
We’ve already mentioned Superman. When it comes to costume ideas, comic books provide a treasure trove. Spiderman, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Super Girl, and the list goes on. Choose your favorite superhero and go for it.
Flo from Progressive
Flo from Progressive was one of the most successful marketing personalities with more than 100 commercials. If your industry handles insurance, so much the better.

The Minions
You can go solo as a single Minion or include everyone in the office as part of a theme. This is also an easy and fun costume the whole crew can participate in.
Bob Ross
Long after his passing in 1995, Bob Ross is more popular than ever. With this costume, you can include a co-worker and bring the whole thing together.

Bulletin Board
Just take some post-it notes, write different messages and pin them on a long-sleeved shirt. And you will become a bulletin board. You can make this bigger by making yourself one large post-it note.
Inflatable Car Guy
This costume will require some space, but if you can pull it off, you will give everyone at the office a fun experience.

Disney Characters
From Belle to Cruella, Wicked Witch of the East, Maleficent, Goofy, Mini Mouse and many others, you can’t go wrong with one of these costumes. With so many options, you can make it as simple or intricate as you want.
Rizzo From Grease
Grease is one of the most popular musicals of all time and you can dress up as any of the characters in the movie. Here’s Rizzo, one of the Pink Ladies.

Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs Costumes
One thing Zuckerberg is known for is wearing the same style of clothes all the time, which also goes for Steve Jobs. So, if you have a t-shirt, hoodie and jeans for Zuckerberg and a black turtleneck, blue jeans, New Balance shoes and a pair of glasses for Jobs, you have two options.
Sock Hop
Still, in that era of Grease, a sock hop costume can be worn in any office environment.

Facebook (Sort of…)
Are you the minimalist type? Well, nothing could be easier than this idea which comes courtesy of The Office. All Jim Halper did was write ‘book’ across his face, thus Facebook. This is from the Koi Pond episode which aired on October 29, 2009.

Skeleton
You can easily make a skeleton by cutting the ribs on a white t-shirt and wearing a black top underneath. Add makeup to your face and you have a DIY skeleton.
Homer Simpson
Thirty years on TV and The Simpsons are still running. And going as Homer Simpson, or any member of this animated family, is one way you can have fun at the office.

A Chip on Your Shoulder
Do you have a chip on your shoulder? Just take your favorite brand of chips, attach it with tape on your shoulder, and there you go — a costume you can put on and take off throughout the day. You can also do this by putting Smarties candies on your pants and going as ‘smartie pants’, cookies with a cap and gown for a smart cookie and the list goes on.
A Costume for You and Your Dog
If your office is pet-friendly, you can always make your dog part of the party. In this case, your dog can be Batman and you can go as Robin. There won’t be a more formidable duo at your office Halloween costume party.

Animal Costumes
Dressing as your favorite animal is another costume idea for the workplace. This kind of costume can be simple and easy or you can get intricate. It all depends on how much time and money you want to spend, as well as your level of commitment.
Pixelated Images for Adults
As a DIY costume, this is another great idea that is also a lot of fun. Just make two cardboards with alternating colored squares for your top and bottom, and you have a costume. Wear nude color clothes underneath and it will complete the look.

Enhance Your Surroundings With These Interior Decorating Ideas
Interior design is a complicated subject for some individuals. Many times you don’t know where to start. Feeling this way is understandable, but with some basic knowledge you can tackle your project and revitalize your home.
A good thing to aim for when designing a room is creating a mood. Different rooms require a different mood, so take this into consideration before designing. The dining room should have an elegant feel, whereas the game room should be upbeat.
Think of the purpose of the room before you design. For kid’s rooms, you want something more colorful and fun. But the same decoration wouldn’t work in the dining room.
TIP! A great tip for design is to understand the room’s function. For children’s rooms, think about bright, vibrant colors that will match the personalities of the children using the room.
Before you start designing your space, make a decision on what type of mood you want the room to have. Your mood can vary from calm and soothing to excited or outrageous. Deciding on the mood of the space beforehand will have a big impact on the choices you make and will help to give the space a cohesive feel.
An excellent way to add interest to a room is to incorporate a variety of textures or patterns in the space. They draw attention to your room’s details and can accent smooth surfaces like glass or wood. If your design plan is contemporary, then patterns and texture are required to get the right look.
Save some money on your home renovation project by searching for excellent high-cost equivalents that you can purchase from mass merchants. High-end decor is very expensive, but it is usually easy to find something that is similar for a lower cost. If you can’t find something similar, than splurge, but don’t do it with every piece.
Decide on a mood for a room or space before beginning to actually work on designing the space. Moods can range from outrageous and exciting to soothing and calm. Having a mood in mind before you start designing will help you decide what the best way of planning should be.
TIP! Before you start working in a room, decide the kind of mood you want the room to present. You can make add any mood to your room, whether it be exciting or serene.
When designing your child’s room, try to see it through their eyes. It could be easily forgotten that children do not see the room the way you look at it. Everything should be easy to reach and easy to store. Try to get a look at the room from a child’s perspective and eliminate anything that would cause problems.
Pay Attention
Pay attention to small details. You can come up with a great new look by changing around different color patterns and adding new elements to a room. When you pay attention to the small things like cabinet knobs, drapes and appliances the room can really come together.
Picking the right colors is essential for every design project. Be wary of what colors go together and what colors clash so that you can give your entire room a balanced, tasteful look. It is best to avoid the use of too many bright, bold colors in one space.
TIP! Whenever you are redesigning a room in your home it is extremely important that you choose the right color scheme. Knowing how colors look and work together can make the difference between a chaotic look and a tasteful one.
When you are doing interior design you should think about what the room is used for. Know how many people your space needs to accommodate and what activities they will be engaged in. Your bedroom should be designed to meet your individual needs, while the rest of the house must reflect the needs and wants of your entire family.
Be patient when painting a room. Make sure that you really like your color choice before you are stuck with it. Sample a number of colors, and test them out on your walls. Observe how they look under different lighting. After a thorough investigation you may decide that you do not like any of the colors and need to start all over.
It’s fine to keep up with the current decorating designs and themes. They can give a room a sense of modern style. But, try to use trendy items only as accents. By using these pieces as accents you will be quickly able to update to newer styles when the old trends have faded. A cheetah print wallpaper is not quite as easily replaced.
If your space is small, pick furniture that has multiple uses. Ottomans are a great piece of furniture to use for its aesthetic benefits and practicality. The ottoman will double as both seating and a table maximizing your small space. Get the most out of items for dual purposes works best in a small space.
TIP! It’s important to choose furniture for maximum versatility when your dealing with a limited space. For example, try ottomans instead of sofas or chairs.
Area rugs are good additions in any type of room. This rug should fit your area snugly, so that it does not take away from the appearance of the room. If the space in the room is large, get a rug that is also large, in order to make it appear consistent. If you have a small space, you want to be weary of it overtaking the room and the space there.
Gaining extra living space is a great idea and is easy to do by decorating a basement. Some people feel intimidated by decorating an uninviting basement, but it’s a great design move and easy to do. To make basements look brighter, you should use light paint to color the walls and add more lighting. If there is a window down there, you should buy some curtains for it that are light in color.
Be sure that you are hanging your artwork at the correct height. Many interior designers advise you to hang artwork approximately 10 inches above the back of a sofa or recliner.
An important interior design concept is to always consider the amount of light a room has. If a room doesn’t have that many windows, you might want to go with a lighter shade of paint or wallpaper so that the room doesn’t seem like a cave.
TIP! The amount of natural light in a room or area plays a large role in most interior design projects. If your room lacks windows, try a light shade of paint to make the room less cave-like.
Always look to create balance and harmony with your interior design efforts. If you want a contemporary design, continue this theme throughout the house. You must decide on the overall theme of your room so as to have everything mesh together.
You’ll want to make sure to keep your ceiling about two shades or more lighter than the walls. When this technique is not employed, the room feels smaller and more stifling, causing you to feel boxed in. With brighter ceilings, you will feel as if the room is expanded and you can relax easier within.
After reading the article above, you are familiar with many different ideas you can use to give a complete new look to your home. A lot of the time you will find that it is not as hard as it seems if you use these tricks and tips.
Whenever your child’s room is being designed, make sure you keep your child’s taste in mind. Children will likely have very different ideas about what their rooms should look like than you do. Think about designing the room so everything is simple to access. This will reduce any slips and falls, as your child will feel comfortable.

The Overhead Compartment with Leslie Grossman
Shining a spotlight on celebrities and athletes who love to travel. Created and developed by Stacy Steponate Greenberg.
Leslie Grossman knows how to do quirky. From her start in the late 90’s on the hit show Popular, to the dark character on the FX runaway success American Horror Story: Cult, Grossman has the intensity down to a science and still adds a dash of humor along the way. After honing her skills in numerous roles on TV, ranging from Nip/Tuck to 2 Broke Girls, Grossman was ready for the challenge of playing an eerily sweet and deranged character on AHS. The Overhead Compartment caught up with the talented Grossman to gather some insight into the unusual world she inhabits.
American Horror Story: Cult airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on FX.
The Overhead Compartment with Leslie Grossman starts now…..
OC: You play quite a strange, dark character on AHS:Cult. How did you prepare for the role?
LG: I read a lot about the Manson girls and biographies about cult leaders to see how they manipulated seemingly average normal people into doing horrific unspeakable things. I also decided to turn myself over to the process and not try to overthink it too much which is a real challenge for a type A person like myself. The character of Meadow was the most unlike me of any part I have ever played. I had to challenge myself in ways I haven’t before, which ended up being incredibly rewarding.
OC: What is the biggest challenge of the horror genre?
LG: The biggest challenge for me personally is to keep my performance grounded while acknowledging the darkly comedic moments. I had such a great time shooting this show that at times I worried it seemed like I was having too much fun!
OC: How do people react when they see you on the street?
LG: The show is still airing so mostly people beg me to tell them what’s going to happen. Which of course I do not!
OC: You also played outrageously mean Mary Cherry in Popular- how was that performance different?
LC: In playing Mary Cherry, I had zero concerns about making her real or grounded. The more insane she was the better, in my opinion. It was incredibly freeing to just go for it and be as outrageous and over the top as I could possibly be. She also thought she was the most gorgeous incredible person on the planet, which Meadow clearly did not. It was fun to get to play someone who had complete self-confidence no matter how misguided and incorrect she was.
OC: What is the best part of playing a character so mean?
LG: Getting to say horrible things to people’s faces with zero consequences.
OC: What explains Ryan Murphy’s enormous success?
LG: Incredible outrageous other-worldly talent combined with an unbelievable work ethic. Those two things happening simultaneously are incredibly rare. When they come together it is unstoppable magic.
OC: What is a typical day like when you are working?
LG: Usually a 5:30am call time which means waking up an hour or earlier before depending on where we are shooting. Make a latte in my Nespresso machine for the drive. Get to work and go through hair and makeup and pray they can cover my under eye bags. Eat too much candy at craft service. Usually I nap in my trailer during lunch after I inhale some lunch. Wrap after 12 or 14 hours, go home, wipe off my makeup and fall into bed.
OC: What is a typical day like when you’re not working?
LG: When I’m not working I am in full mom/wife mode. Get my daughter up at 6:45am, make her snack lunch and breakfast (which I should do the night before but I always forget). My husband drives her to school most mornings. After they leave I walk the dogs, take a shower, have coffee and catch up on emails and read the news. My whole family lives in L.A. so we see each other all the time. Sometimes I meet a friend for lunch or have a meeting and then it’s time to pick my daughter up from school. The afternoons and evenings are usually homework, dinner prep, and trying to finish my to do list of stuff that never ever gets done. Sometimes my husband and I try to sneak away for a dinner out but we don’t do it as much as we should. I have a million things I want to do but the day always seems to get away from me.
OC: As a mom how do you balance work-life with home-life.
LG: As any working mom will tell you it’s not easy, and a lot of the time I feel like I am letting everyone down. When I am working the hours can be very long, so thank god for FaceTime so I can see my kid. But it’s not a typical job. I can have periods off where I get to full time mom it every day for weeks, so that makes up for the really hard weeks where I feel like I haven’t seen her enough. I am lucky to have an awesome husband who is totally supportive of my work and has my back. I am also lucky to have my family live in L.A. so they can help cover me as well. I think as women we try to be all things to all people and that’s just not possible. I have to remind myself that moms are allowed to have dreams they want to pursue also!
OC: Favorite vacation spot?
LG: I have been lucky enough that I have been able to travel a lot. It is a very hard thing for me to answer because it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite. As basic and uninspired as this answer seems, it’s Hawaii. I have been to the Big Island at least 30 times and I never ever tire of it. The Four Seasons Hualalai is a fantastic destination to go to as a couple or with the entire family. There is something about the water and the air that is so restorative for me. As soon as I step off the plane I feel 50% less stressed.
OC: What’s the first thing you do when arriving in a hotel room?
LG: This is going to sound paranoid, but I immediately wipe down all surfaces I am going to be touching with an anti-bacterial wipe. I take the plastic bag that is in the ice bucket and wrap the tv remote with it. They never clean those things. When I was a kid and traveled with my grandparents, my grandmother would have me and my brother wait in the hall while she attacked the hotel room with Lysol. She gave me her craziness about germs!
OC: Three L.A. things a visitor should see that won’t be on a tourist map
LG: The Museum of Jurassic Technology The Gamble House in Pasadena designed by Greene and Greene Button Mash arcade for old school video games and great burgers
Leslie Grossman, please use care upon departure as items may have shifted in The Overhead Compartment during our journey. Thanks for choosing us for your travel tips! Have a wonderful day!

What Should I Wear with the Blazer at the Bottom?
Tumblr media
Many wardrobes can easily be separated into two categories: statement-making pieces, such as sequined, printed, or ruffled designs, and classic wardrobe staples, like a simple, basic t-shirt and jeans. It's the latter that tends to be the most versatile, balancing out outrageous items while also working together to create easy, simple, and classic outfits. And among the basics, a blazer is an investment worth making.
There are numerous ideas of how to style a blazer, whether you're using it to balance out something more elaborate, like a beautiful dress, or making a sweat suit feel fancy with a structured layer. A bold-colored option can balance out a bold pattern, while a Barbie pink colour option can add a welcome splash of color. Moreover, since there are so many different types of blazers, you can find a shape, size, or detail that works best for you and your fashion style.
Some Ideas of What to Wear with the Blazer are at the Bottom:
With Jeans: One of the best tricks for styling a blazer is with blue jeans. It adds a bit of charm to what would otherwise be a simple look, pulling everything together and providing extra warmth on winter days.
With Shorts: When it's not too cold and not too hot, it can leave any fashion lover feeling stumped. Styling your blazer with shorts and having it double as a light jacket provides the perfect amount of warmth for in-between
With a Matching Bottom: it's the same idea as a suit, just with your own clothes. If you're looking to dress things up, try to pair it up with a matching bottom, like pink or black.
With a Skirt: Something printed, pleated, or sequined will feel less over-the-top with the help of a structure Alternatively, a brighter blazer can add some charm to a simple black skirt.
With Sweatpants: The happy medium between comfy and style. A blazer has the ability to truly transform casual pieces and pull a look together for any occasion. Styling it with sweatpants will look amazing.

40 Office Halloween Costume Ideas
How popular is Halloween? According to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey, Americans were set to spend around $9 billion in 2018. And more than a third of this tally ($3.2 billion) went to costumes.
So, who are the people spending the $3.2 billion in costumes? Well, they could be your employees. And if you’ve decided to allow your employees to wear costumes to work, you also may want to join them! Of course, you’ll also want the costumes to be appropriate to the work environment. But where can you and your employees get Halloween costume ideas?
Search no more. Here are 40 office Halloween costume ideas that will allow you and your employees to have fun while still projecting the right image for your small business.
Office Halloween Costume Ideas List
Halloween Costumes From The Office
It seems appropriate to start this list with ideas from hit NBC television show The Office. And the effort Dwight Shrute puts into his costumes on the show should help get the ball rolling. Here is Dwight as the Joker from “The Dark Knight”.
This is from the Employee Transfer episode which aired originally on October 30, 2008.

Let Your Employees Dress up as You
Your employees may be concerned they’ll get in some hot water for doing this. But assure them it’s all in good fun (as long as you’re comfortable taking a joke.) If everyone goes along with it, this could be great for morale!
Dwight Shrute
The popularity of The Office means it has fans across all demographics. And with Dwight’s shenanigans on the show, it is only fair anyone should be able to dress like him. Here is a simple costume which shows your appreciation for Dwight.

An Emoji
Emojis let you express how you feel when you are messaging. This makes another easy DIY costume. You can create emojis on a piece of cardboard with different emotions and use different ones throughout the day. Or have one displaying them all at the same time.
Cotton Candy Costume
Another thing which is synonymous with Halloween is candy. So why not go as cotton candy. Here’s a playful DIY costume you can make with just a few items.
image: AWW SAM
Vampire
Here’s an all-time classic Halloween costume classic. While it is not as original, men and women can go as a vampire. You can give it your own twist by adding special-effects, contact lenses and more.
Candy Corn
While still on the candy theme, it wouldn’t be Halloween without candy corn. This fun and bright costume will cheer everyone up at the office.

Ghost
Two holes in a sheet and you have a ghost costume. As far as Halloween costume ideas for office workers go, this has got to be one of the easiest ones.

This costume could actually be a two for one. You can dress in a suit with glasses and be Clark Kent. But if something should arise in the office, you can unbutton your shirt and reveal you are actually Superman.

This costume has become popular in the past couple of years. However, you can add your favorite social media channels and make it your own.

The Twitter Bird
A certain president has made Twitter more popular than ever. So why not go as the Twitter bird and get everybody tweeting. This DIY costume comes from Elizabethany, a radio and social media personality.

The Addams Family
On the slightly creepier and adult side, you can do The Addams Family. If there is one family which epitomizes Halloween, this one is it with a great sense of humor to boot.
Is that Photoshopped?
Photoshop is so popular it has become a verb. And if you make your costume this intricate, your co-workers will be asking if you have been photoshopped.

Easy Ceiling Fan Costume
This costume uses a simple play on words to get its message across. You’ll make co-workers think for a minutes than laugh at the pun. This is easy to do, funny and not too outrageous.

Uncle Sam
Do you work at an accounting firm? What better way to keep everyone on their toes than to dress as Uncle Sam. All you need is a top hat, a white wig, a bow tie, a goatee and you are set.  You can add the coat and the striped pants if you want to go all out.
Bread Winner
This is another costume which takes the meaning of a word literally and makes it funny. All you need are some medals around your neck and some bread.

Comic Book Super Heroes for Men and Women
We’ve already mentioned Superman. When it comes to costume ideas, comic books provide a treasure trove. Spiderman, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Super Girl, and the list goes on. Choose your favorite superhero and go for it.

Disney Characters
From Belle to Cruella, Wicked Witch of the East, Maleficent, Goofy, Mini Mouse and many others, you can’t go wrong with one of these costumes. With so many options, you can make it as simple or intricate as you want.
Rizzo From Grease
Grease is one of the most popular musicals of all time and you can dress up as any of the characters in the movie. Here’s Rizzo, one of the Pink Ladies.

Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs Costumes
One thing Zuckerberg is known for is wearing the same style of clothes all the time, which also goes for Steve Jobs. So, if you have a t-shirt, hoodie and jeans for Zuckerberg and a black turtleneck, blue jeans, New Balance shoes and a pair of glasses for Jobs, you have two options.
Sock Hop
Still, in that era of Grease, a sock hop costume can be worn in any office environment.

Facebook (Sort of…)
Are you the minimalist type? Well, nothing could be easier than this idea which comes courtesy of The Office. All Jim Halper did was write ‘book’ across his face, thus Facebook. This is from the Koi Pond episode which aired on October 29, 2009.

Skeleton
You can easily make a skeleton by cutting the ribs on a white t-shirt and wearing a black top underneath. Add makeup to your face and you have a DIY skeleton.
Homer Simpson
Thirty years on TV and The Simpsons are still running. And going as Homer Simpson, or any member of this animated family, is one way you can have fun at the office.

A Chip on Your Shoulder
Do you have a chip on your shoulder? Just take your favorite brand of chips, attach it with tape on your shoulder, and there you go — a costume you can put on and take off throughout the day. You can also do this by putting Smarties candies on your pants and going as ‘smartie pants’, cookies with a cap and gown for a smart cookie and the list goes on.
A Costume for You and Your Dog
If your office is pet-friendly, you can always make your dog part of the party. In this case, your dog can be Batman and you can go as Robin. There won’t be a more formidable duo at your office Halloween costume party.

Animal Costumes
Dressing as your favorite animal is another costume idea for the workplace. This kind of costume can be simple and easy or you can get intricate. It all depends on how much time and money you want to spend, as well as your level of commitment.
Pixelated Images for Adults
As a DIY costume, this is another great idea that is also a lot of fun. Just make two cardboards with alternating colored squares for your top and bottom, and you have a costume. Wear nude color clothes underneath and it will complete the look.

The great thing about Halloween is it lets you express yourself. If you’ve decided to encourage your employees to dress up, make the most of it and enjoy the process and the festivities that go along with it. All you have to do is make sure all costumes are workplace appropriate for your small business.
