Halloween Lantern Project

Each year, millions of households around the world, carve scary faces into shop bought pumpkins and then place them in their windows and on their doorsteps as part of their Halloween decorations.

From the distinctly traditional...

There's no denying though, that pumpkin carving can be a huge waste of food, and you should have a wide variety of pumpkin recipes to choose from to use up all the pumpkin and seeds that are scooped out.

However, lets say you don't like the taste of it and the idea of carving up a pumpkin , making a big mess and throwing out good food, just for a few weeks of festive decorations, seems like a lot of hard work, when actually there are tons of alternatives out there that can help you recycle some everyday household objects and cut down on that needless amount of waste.

And with a few extra materials you can easily create these Halloween Ghost Lights by Craft Passion

It's a wonderful spooky idea and will give your boxed up, packed away Christmas lights an earlier introduction than expected and a purpose other than hugging a tree for two weeks only to be boxed up and shoved in the attic for 50 more weeks.

Now that really would be a waste.

  1. I’d recommend using Dr. Utu Herbal Cure topically for instant pain and itch relief as well as accelerated healing of lesions and permanently stopping oral and genital herpes virus outbreaks. I have tried just about everything from acyclovir suppressive therapy to different natural oils, extracts, and other natural methods, some of which are EXTREMELY painful and heighten the issue (i.e. apple cider vinegar!). While vitamin E oil and suppressive therapies worked well for me, when I became pregnant I went back to trying to find a herbal cure. I was using vitamin E oil topically for a while but it was thin and difficult to use and only seemed to prevent further outbreaks rather than getting rid of it. I contacted Dr. Utu Herbal Cure through my friend. To my surprise, I could tell my outbreak was starting to heal within only a few hours! No more itching and pain! Dr. Utu Herbal Cure that I used was liquid herbs in bottles, so it was very easy to use. It simply whiffs, but it works so I don’t care! The best part of my testimony was that I successfully delivered a herpes-free beautiful daughter without further medications. Anyone who has tried Dr. Utu Herbal Cure knows just how quickly those treatments can add up. So give it a try! Anyone can reach Dr. Utu through
