Halloween Witch Costume

Halloween and witches go together, but witches
feature year round in fairy stories, movies, books
and more. Let's take one example. There have been at
least five versions of the Chronicles of Narnia
released as movies. This timeless tale has it all. It
has action, adventure, and heroics. But most of all,
it has mythology. And foremost in that mythology is
that most timeless of villains, the witch.
In this climate, it is no wonder that one of the most popular Halloween costumes is the witch costume. Don't get me wrong. I know that witch costumes have been popular forever. Although their popularity may wax and wain, you are never out of fashion with the witch costume at Halloween. The great thing about witch costumes is that they really push the envelope in terms of what you can wear with the children. Everyone secretly wants to be a ghost or a ghoul, but when you are with young children, you have to be careful or else you might scare them. Although a scarier costume might get you into trouble, you can always get away with a witch costume if you have your heart set on playing a villain. And who does not want to be a villain now and then?
Of course, the witch costume is far from the most clever Chronicles of Narnia costume, but it is the most simple. If you want to make your own costume and have never done such a thing before, you had best stay far away from centaurs and fauns. You will end up at your costume party without anything at all to wear!
The key to a really good witch costume is to not overdo it. This is easier said than done. There is a great temptation to go overboard with the big black hat, several warts, a robe, ugly blunt toed shoes, and the rest. But I always say that if you want to dress like a witch, do it with class. Have a nose that is not too gigantically large, a hat that might just be a woman's hat, and shoes that almost look normal. The best witch costume will make you look like a witch that is hiding out and trying to act like a normal person. That way, people will be all the more excited to spot you and see that you are really a witch. That sort of witch costume will make you much more interesting for all of the people around you.

Colored Contact Lenses

When my daughter and I recently went to get our eyes
checked, my daughter was looking at an advertisement
for colored contact lenses. She
thought it was very cool that you could use contacts
to change your eye color, and she asked me why I
didn't want to do it myself. I explained to her that
I am very happy with the color of my eyes, and I
never really gave it much thought. Even then though,
it could be fun to see what it would be like to have
a different color on occasion. Halloween is one such
occasion, when Halloween contact
lenses would be great fun.
What color you can have if you want to change your eyes with colored contact lenses will depend on your real color. My daughter has dark brown eyes, and with color that deep, she didn't have a lot of options if she were to do that. She's too young of course, but we looked at the chart just for fun. Those with lighter colors can choose almost any colored contact lenses, but those with dark eyes like hers have very limited options.
Whether you want to change your eyes all the time or just for fun, you can do so with the simple use of colored contact lenses. Depending on what you want, you can find choices with almost any eye doctor. If you have green eyes, and would like to try blue, you can do it rather easily with colored contact lenses. You can even have a lot of fun on Halloween by having each eye a different color, or you can have special Halloween costume contact lenses that might make it look like you have green cat eyes or even no eye color at all.
You can usually find colored contact lenses at any eye doctor, or you can use your prescription to find them online. You might save some money if you look online, but make sure you are getting a quality contact. You may think of them as cosmetic, but if you need vision adjustment, it is essential that your colored contact lenses are just as good as the ones you would normally wear. If you get some with no prescription just for the change, and you normally donít need vision correction, remember that it might take some time to get used to them, and that you have to care for them as if they were prescriptions. Your eyes are still at risk from bad habits just as they would be if you were wearing prescription lenses.
