Thursday 29th November, 4:45pm It was already dark with I was headed out the door, with my keys in one hand, my purse over my right shoulder and my phone in the other hand; I had my favourite pair of grey leggings on, with a purple cami-top tucked into them and completed the outfit with my favourite black and white check button up blouse, loosely draped over my arms and shoulders, all under my favourite red and blue winter coat.

My favourite Halloween would have to be my very first Halloween. During my lifetime, living with my parents, I could not celebrate Halloween like my friends did, due to my parents and other family members religious beliefs and views I wasn’t allowed to celebrate my favourite holiday. Although publicly I could not and did not celebrate, I found a way to still get my Halloween fix, celebrating in private, hidden from my family and their religion. I uploaded outfits, makeup transformations and artwork about Halloween for a month before and a...
