5 Things I Love About Halloween!



1.  Gotta start by giving a big shout out to the MOST amazing thing about 10/31:  the mini sized candy bars.  While I know there are actually people out there that get super excited about Smarties, candy corn, circus peanuts, and raisins (gack!), there is nothing, and I mean literally nothing, better than a sweet pile of Nestle fun sized candy bars.  Bring on the tooth/stomach/head aches!  I have prepared all year for this sweet, sticky moment!  In short, if you see a 37-year-old female  in a bath robe and curlers trailing a rogue group of pre-teens, please refer to the infographics below:

   
2.  The Dog Costumes.  I am not one who normally condones the dressing up of animals, but those costumes are just everything!
        

3.  The Swag Bags.  I've always loved Halloween bags, but even as a kid I remember thinking it was a giant drag that my mom had to buy new ones every year along with costumes, face paint, candy, and on and on.  (I've had my eye on the dollar since way back.)  I am very proud to say that Rebagz has three different options that are actually PERFECT for a reusable option... and not just for Halloweens!  They can be used for dance classes, sleepovers, art supplies, Lego's, and much more.  From left:  "Never Go Hungry" Lunch Bag in Galaxy ($29) - zips closed with reinforced handles, Wherever Whatever Bag in Honeybee ($29) - roomy and open at the top, and (bottom) the Scrappy Bag in Best Mill ($23) - just a smaller version of the Wherever Whatever Bag.












4.   The Parties!  Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned backyard house party?  (We're obviously in sunny So Cal, where it is IKIDYOUNOT 95 degrees today. October 17.)  I love the varying degrees of effort adults and children put into their costumes!  Plus, bonus, when the kiddies leave to trick-or-treat, break out the jungle juice!

5.  The Togetherness.  I still love sitting with my mom in her front yard, handing out candy to the neighborhood kids.  I hope to do this with her for years to come, then eventually with my siblings when they have kids.  There is an energy about this night that no other night can compare to - everyone believes in the same thing, no one is divided by religion, class, or race, and we all have one singular goal:

Share the love


This evening I'm attending a fabulous event being held to celebrate Oxfam's 70th Birthday. 
   As Oxfam began in Oxford, there is going to be an evening of stories, music, videos and all sorts of fun information about the charity and it's 70 years of work held in the Oxford Playhouse. 



  There are a huge range of people performing, from actors to chefs, journalists to street dancers. However, the diversity of this event made me realise just how influential Oxfam is, and what amazing work it has done for the last 70 years. Furthermore, it is important to realise how we can do a little something every day to make someone else's life that little bit better. Whether this is donating to a charity, or simply helping an old person across the road, we can all do something to make someone smile.





Here at Rebagz, we take environmental and humanitarian issues very seriously, hence why we pay our workers a fair wage and use only recycled materials in our bags. Other companies have policies too, to try make their impact on the world a positive one. For instance, Starbucks coffee is all fair trade, and even huge companies such as McDonald's (who are slated for being terribly irresponsible) have charities and foundations that they support and endorse. 

 What can you do today to make a difference?
Here are a few little ideas for you!



1) Buy something local. 
In an age where most of our food is grown on the other side of the world, or our clothing is made in China, we often forget local businesses. Pay your local grocery store a visit, or recommend a local shop to a friend and help them gain more customers. 

2) Research a charity. 
Whether you want to donate something (a great way to clear your wardrobe!), or even volunteer, most charities have websites with plenty of helpful information as to how to get involved. 

3) Turn down your AC.
By making your home 2 degrees warmer, you'll save a tonne of electricity, and money! 

4) Recycle. 
If you don't already recycle, find out about recycling in your area. Furthermore, see what you can reuse around the house. Scrap paper or printing mistakes? Use the clean side for to-do lists, or even printing draft copies of documents. We swear by this at Rebagz HQ!!

5) Smile. 
Remember that a smile is infectious, and makes you feel great too! Make someone's day by giving them a smile or paying them a compliment. Simple.
