I have never saw anyone make one of these Fish Bowl Pumpkin, until I saw one being made on HGTV YouTube channel. I instantly fell in love with it, because I thought it was cool, and also I like it in general, it beats all those little candy trays that we get or see at Halloween time. When it came to making something like this, I like it, and would I make it again. I would say, yes, I would. It was easy to made, all you need are simple items, which I think it would be cute if I would of made small pumpkins as well, but I did not. But I will next year for sure. Every Halloween, I get kinda stuck because I don't know what to make when it comes to diy or just anything. I always try to do my best.
    When it comes to reality, I don't want to copy anyone, because I think we are all capable of creating our own, but I decided to make this because it was cute and I like it and it makes the candy trays look like they are there for decoration, while the pumpkin is sitting there laughing at the candy trays, because we chose him. The reason why is he is so cute. I love the fact that when HGTV made there, it was easy to make, which was fun. Let's take a peek of what you need in order to make this little guy.

Items you would need.

Fish Bowl (does not matter what size, you decide that one your own)
Black contact paper
green glitter paper for the stem, ( which I did not use) 2 of them
A stick to hold the stem
Scissors
Candy
Glue





    Take your black contact paper and make a 3 triangles, 2 big for the eyes and a small one for the nose and you also need to make a mouth for your pumpkin. You need to take your fish bowl and put the face that you made on the fish bowl. Then you take your green glitter paper and make a stem, then you take your stick and you put your stem that you made on the stick by glue the stem on each side of the stick. You need to put your candy in the pumpkin fill all the way to the top then put your stem in the middle to look like a pumpkin. I have link the video down at the bottom, please take a look at, so you can get the feel of how it was made.

        When it comes to fall, there are certain things that I see that should be fall appropiate when it comes to the food baking. I see cookies, there are so many cookies out there that have flavor like for example, cinnamon, caramel, and pumpkin spice. I see those flavors that should be for fall. I love cookies that taste good, which not alot of sugar, cause to me that overdoing it. It basically takes out the taste of the flavor of the cookie. During fall or should I say Halloween, I like to make cookies, that represent the holiday that it in. So this year I made Pumpkin Spice Cookies, which were good. I like them. So I decided to share them with you and show you how to make them. They are quite easy. So let's take a peek of what you need.

Items you would need:
1) Sugar Cookies dough
2) Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
3) Butter
4) Cookies Sheet
5) Preheat your oven

    When it comes to making these, they are quite fun to make. When I make them, I made the Sugar Cookies dough first, which you can go to your cake aisle at your local grocery store and pick it up. Making these cookies, are easy, especially when you dont really have the time to make it the way you want it. If you are gluten free and want sugar free, there should be some that has gluten and sugar free, (Note: just look closely to the label). When it you get done mixing the sugar cookies, just add the pumpkin spice and start mixing again. When you get done, just roll out the dough and start making your cookies, with me, I simply roll them into a ball and put them on a cookie  sheet. It was easy, and I like the way that they turn out. So if you decide to make them, Please use #pumpkinspicecs or #pumpkincaptivatestyles

        When it comes to October we are all ready for that fall wardrobe, especially when we all can go and buy the new trend that are coming out. I am not much of a trend girl. I like the fact that I can easily go in my closet and create new items, which I love. But I like the fact that if I need something, I just can put something together. There one thing about trends that I can't stand is that there are trends everyday, inorder to be accepted you must follow that trend, which  to be honest, I don't care about being accepted and also I don't care about trends, because I think it just a waste of money. So I decided to create something  that you can create from your own closet. I know some of you may have the same exact item or you might have something similar or something like it. So here are a couple of looks for you.

1)  There is no surprise that we all have something like this is our closet. I know I do. Well not exactly, like it, but I have something similar and I like it. I like the fact that this outfit can go either way, it can be wore for any season.


2)  I love this outfit, it brings fall to your wardrobe. It means that fall is actually here. I may not like brown, because I don't, but this look, bring out the fall like it should. I like the look I would wear it.
3)  I think this look is perfect for fall, I like the look, that it brings to the whole wardrobe. I don't see this look at all, when it comes to styling. Which I don't know why. I like this look and yes, I would wear it for fall and winter.

4) This look is something this should be wore for all seasons, because it that type of look that should be wore for all seasons. I would wore this look. I would also separate the pieces that are in the look to create a whole new look.

5) When it came this look, I wasn't sure about it, bit I took pieces from other looks to create this fall look, and I love how it turn out, because it can be wore for fall or winter. Plus it matches from head to toe.

When it comes to dressing up your home for fall, it comes to my attention that some of you are having a hard time coming to the point to when to decorate your home, with me, I always decorate in the middle of September. But I have decided that I will start decorating in the middle of August, because I don't want my fall decor or Halloween decor together anymore, I am going to start separating them, which will be a good thing, because it will give me more time to decorate for fall and Halloween. Since this year, I have been behind on fall and Halloween this year, But I won't be behind on Christmas. So when I was doing some diy for fall and Halloween. I decided to do things different this year. I have decided to go beyond what I could do. So I created something that you guys could use in your home. So let's a peek on what I have for you.

The items you would need:
1) Leaf Tray
2) Faux Leaves
3) Faux Pumpkins
4) Glue

    What you need to do, is take your leaf tray, and take your faux and pumpkins and arrange them to however you like, but make sure it the way that you want  them to be. Also make sure you glue them down, because sometimes it does not always work. So please make sure you test out alot of glue to make sure that they stay. When I done it, I went though alot of glue, but then I found the right one, which ones you might ask, e6000, but I wasn't to sure if I wanted to use it, because I didn't want to glue the leaves or the pumpkins permanent on the leaf tray. But anyway, when you do this, make sure it what you want.

Are you going to do this project? If so, please share photos and also please use the #captivatestylesdiy.

          When it comes to fall decor for your home. It always easy to do something that is simple, where you can use only a picture frame and some window decor. I have been doing it for 2 years, this is my second year of doing it, which I have to say was pretty fun for me. I didn't think it would be that fun. But anyways. When it comes to this project, I had fun making it. I also had fun doing and showing you guys. When it comes to explaining this, it going to be hard, because not a lot of people understand, I heard some say that I explain it to hard. So I am going to explain this one a little easier. Well it should be easy. Let's take a peek of what I have for you.

Items you would need:
1) Picture frames
2) Art window decor
3) any type of background
4) some clear tape    

       Now it time to put everything together. So  you would need to grab your picture frame, and take out the glass and measure the background and cut it and please make sure you put the background to the side and get back to it. Now put the glass back in the frame and also take your art window decor and take the ones that you like or want and put them on the glass, but make sure you put them on the inside of the glass, and take your background put that in and take the backing and put the frame back together.What you  should have is a picture, with art decor in it. I really like the fact that it came out the way that I want it.

5) Gillette sensitive shave creme
    When I use to shave my legs I always get these little bumps on my legs, but after using this sensitive creme, I don't anymore, which is pretty cool. So when it comes to this product I do recommend it.

    There are so many products out there that we all love, but sometimes we can't always use the same products that we use in the summer for fall, because our skin starts to change along with the weather. These are the products that I recommend for fall essentials. So please check them out if you would like to see if it works for your skin.

What beauty products are your favorites? Please comment below.
