Toy Kingdom Spooktober 2101

I got the chance to take a peak on the 2010 offering of Toy Kingdom, SPOOKTOBER SHOCKERS. Showcased are their newest collections of costumes for Halloween 2010. The collection includes, Freakin’ Halloween Fashions (a collection of freaky and spooky costumes)

Make Believe Your Famous ( acollection of famous characters turned into costumes like Alice, Ninajas and a lot more), Too Cute To Spook, collections of cute and friendly costumes like Tigger, Pooh and even Thomas!

Kids who love classic story book characters, can have fun choosing their costumes in the Storybook Sensation collection. There’s even a Korean and other nationality costumes included. There’s a Mexican dress and a fruit hat to complete the look. Fairytale Favorites will make every child’s dream to be a princess come true.

Flights of Fancy includes different kinds of wings for you different characters. Cast A Spell are all about wands, crowns and princessy hair dress.

Fun-tasy Headgears and Mad Hatters Party is all about hats, wigs and anything about the head.

More accessories and Trick or Treating paraphernalia awaits Toy Kingdom shoppers.

And for my most favorite part.. Hanging Horrors and Monsters on the loose. I am not a sicko but I cannot help but admire grotesque art. Specially this one:

In fact, I took a photo of one of the monsters when we had a lunch out at SM Megamall last September..

Ghoulish Disguises are all about masks! so if you’re quite afraid of make ups, then this one is for you.

With so many different Halloween Costumes offered in Toy Kingdom, there is no reason not to enjoy the coming Halloween.

I Never Liked Plastic

Plastic. They say it take years, or hundreds as most scientists claims to decompose. Less plastic is better. That is why, Make or Break is now trying to be plastic free whenever we shop.

Last week, I shopped on the mall for some supplies and after the cashier swiped my stuff on the scanning software, the bagger, took it and start putting it on their plastic bags. I said no. Just put my things on my eco bag. Some of them find it amusing, some of them thanked me.

Yesterday, I went to the shopping capital of the country (Divisoria). Most sales lady there finds it really amusing that I don’t want to use plastic. I have to stress a bit that my goods should not be placed on plastic bags, instead it goes straight to my eco bags.

Maybe to help spread the use of eco bags, I will make some eco bags and have it raffled here on Make or Break. What do you think?

Party Planning 101

October is fast approaching, and what does it mean? two parties for us. One will happen last week of October, one party on November 1st week. Two parties would mean payday advance loans for most people. But not for me. Thank goodness for my sideline and online jobs, I was able to save enough for the parties I am planning.

As mentioned, there will be two parties coming. One is a Ben10 party and the other one a Tink party. Ben10 party is a lot easier to plan as the celebrant does not want much visitors, just his friends. The only hard part on that party is mimicking ametrics, to be used as Pinata.

The second party is of course, for the little girl. Now with this one.. er.. I can’t tell yet.
