Monday
Let's start the week with a little bit of colour. With everything happening in the world right now it's so important to ensure that you're looking after yourself too. A great way to literally brighten up your day is with flowers and they've been proven to lift moods and create a more positive environment within your home.
So today it's all about trick or treating yourself with some flowers. Go grab a nice bunch from your local florist or supermarket and if you have an artificial pumpkin or an old pumpkin bucket you can use that as a vase. Alternatively place a vase inside a bucket or artificial pumpkin to avoid any water escaping and add a little touch of fall to your home.
You can check out other autumnal ideas with flowers right here.

Tuesday
Continuing with yesterdays nature themed day we're moving into Tuesday by making these super simple leaf bowls. All you really need are leaves, clay and some paint (spray paint is easier but it all comes down to personal preference).
To make these bowls all you need to do is roll out some clay and press a leaf into it, cut around and then gently rest the clay leaf inside a bowl, this allows the cut out to curl and create the bowl shape. Leave to dry and then paint in your desired colours.
So simple and yet so beautifully effective. Find out more details right here.

Wednesday
The middle of the week is here and so today it's all about upcycling! We're making these adorable little pet ghosts that also glow in the dark.
The main requirements for this make is definitely a jar and cotton wool for the ghost. The rest of the items you need will most likely already be around the house. Once you've made one, why not make a whole family of them? Or even create mini versions and gift them out as gifts?

Thursday
Todays make is a lot fun and the end result looks so realistic. Today we're making giant edible eyeballs. This make would be great to do with the kids and is sure to be a huge hit at your next Halloween party.
Once made the eyeballs actually stay good for at least 3 days so you can easily make these in advance too.

Friday
This week Friday is movie night.... or should I say binge night as today you need to check out Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix.
Originally airing in 1987 the series has been revived by Netflix with the first part of the first season now available. This 6 part series looks into the Unsolved Mysteries surrounding missing people, potential murders and even Aliens!
I personally really enjoyed this revival and cannot wait for more from Netflix already. If you also like this then why not check out the other 554 episodes from older seasons, which are also airing on Amazon Prime.
So that's your weekend and potentially the rest of this years binge watching sorted.... now let's go solve these cases together!

Saturday
It's the weekend and today we're not making or watching but instead we're going to be reading. Todays article is all about how to make your very own Witchy Garden.
The article includes everything you could possibly do to create your own sanctuary with the outdoor space you have around you. This could very easily be adapted for those who are inside too as you can easily great windowsill gardens. The in-depth article explains what herbs and flowers to plant, the best things you can go out and forage for and even how to synchronise your garden with the moon cycle.

Sunday
We've made it through another week and we're going to end it with a quick and simply little make that would actually be great to use in your garden this summer.
These lanterns are made from old milk/juice cartons! You can easily hang them from trees/bushes with battery tealight candles inside or place them around the floor to give your garden a warm, autumnal glow throughout the warm evenings.
