Five Halloween Tricks and Treats

1. This year when the budget might be low, why not create a recycled Halloween costume. Use items from around the house

2. Make sure your kids are safe when trick or treating by carrying a light and stay with their friends. If you want to follow them don't follow them in a car. You never know where a kid might pop up and it is a total waste of gas. Get out and walk behind your kids. If they want to be independent keep a few houses in between you and them.

3. Re-think the face paint. Make sure it says non toxic or make a mask instead. If it is neon yellow, it makes you wonder what they put in the paint that can actually be ok for you.

4. Use a candy container that the kids can use over and over again. Skip the plastic bags and grab a cloth bag, or be creative with your choice. (Source Go Green Travel)

5. Make your Halloween decorations instead of buying them. Get creative and use natural materials like pumpkins and leaves, then supplment with your handmade decorations. Use the handmade decorations every year to save some spending money.

Above all have a Spooky Halloween!

Green Tip of the Week

Get your car ready for the winter by checking your air filter and fluid levels, checking tires for tread wear and proper inflation, and checking the condition of your windshield wipers.

Consider using non-toxic de-icing substances such as clean clay cat litter, sand, or fireplace ash to prevent hazardous waste from chemicals. Chemical de-icers can be hazardous to pets, trees and shrubs. Antifreeze that leaks from car engines and chemical snow melters on driveways, roads, and runways can pollute surface waters and groundwater through the soil. Source from the www.epa.gov.

Don't Fear Failure

Why do we put off starting so many things we want to experience? Perhaps because we are afraid of failure. We tend to shy away from anything that is uncertain or risky. Yet, if we never begin something we want to do, have we failed by not starting at all?

The fear of failure seems to be engrained in everyone. A good point to keep in mind is this: if you try something and fail early, you generally gain knowledge to be more successful at the next project you try. So instead of never starting anything new, give it a try and if it doesn't work out, learn from it and move forward.

It's best we start early in our attempts to succeed, take chances and if you fail, get back up and get on a new path. We often worry about failing because it can be embarrassing or we fear we may not be able to recover. We can learn so much from our failures. Instead of looking at our failures as a negative, we need to turn them into learning experiences and use them to adapt. If you are afraid of a large failure, start small and try your new attempt in pieces. That way if you fail at one part, you can perfect it or move on to something else without feeling the pressure of a complete loss.

When you suffer a setback, get up and try again. Accept that life comes with failures. How we handle them determines our future success and the risks we will take. Make every new project and its successes and failures an outlet for learning. This will help set you up for future success.
