Happy Halloween my children from your Dracula’s Wife for the day!
We’re not traditionally celebrating Halloween here in Romania; it’s one of the holidays imported from other parts of the world, as one always does! Any excuse to throw a party is more than welcome, right!?
Anyway, it’s my second Halloween as a beauty blogger so I thought I’d create this vampire inspired look! What else to expect from a descendant of the Prince of Darkness?!
Well, it looks classier and more approachable than my original “husband”‘s appearance – if you ask me! But I hope you like it as well!

Believe it or not . I’m not doing Halloween this year lol. No party or anything happening, I’m in Belgium right now visiting parents… So it’s kind of going to be just another night pour moi. Though if I were to do it this year, I’d probably be something cliché like Margot Tenebaum from the royal tenenbaums. Have u seen it ? How about u ? Are u going to celebrate ? 😀

Yes it’s always fun coming back home 😊 oh really? Where’s home for u? It’s directed by Wes Anderson and gwyneth paltrow plays margot tenenbaum. Basically they’re 3 kids who got very successful when they were young and then a few decades later deal with the slump of post success life. And their father is an eccentric. It’s all very wooden Allen like but in a weirder way. It won a golden globe though I think. But the point is , Margot tenenbaum has this fabulous way of dressing and is kind of in constant resting bitch face . I don’t know, I kind of like it for Halloween. Lol

We all love a chronic rested b**ch face for Halloween don’t we! I initially went for a Wendy Addams look, but I turned it into a vampires mainly because I had no Peter pan collar available! LOLOL #beautybloggersissues The struggle is real, people!?!!!!
Then I thought it would be more appropriate to call it a vampire look, given the fact that one of the few little things that make Romania stand out in front of the World is actually a fictional character, Dracula!
So yeah!

Lol! # beautybloggerissues is soo , soo real. Before I blogged I had these types of issues but to the people it didn’t make sense , I’d be called high maintenance or shallow ( jokingly) . Now that I’m blogging I’m getting to talk to amazing people ( yourself included ) who have the same struggles . Haha. Love it . But yes, being a vampire is definitely the right choice this year, you pulled it off beautifully !

We have a party at work on the 30th, next month though! We celebrate Saint Andrew’s Day! Or the Day of all the dead… Where it’s supposed that the ones that passed away come visit their living relatives… Doomed spirits will wander on earth as well: vampires, warewolves , witches and all the she-bang… Will harm/scare all living creatures! That’s why we’re supposed to protect ourselves with Holy Water, garlic, silver etc. 😁😁😁

Well, I’m positive about one thing… What our ancestors didn’t understand they blamed it on the paranormal! Lol What they called the walking dead and “strigoi” ( the Romanian term for the undead ) for example, were actually poor people in clinical death, basically buried alive…
But let’s say, for the sake of the Halloween atmosphere that yes, there is a little truth in everything! 😁😁😁

That’s so interesting. I’m so intrigued by this type of trivia / history facts… You should write a few posts about Romania ! I’d be interested to learn more from someone who actually knows it inside out ( it seems u do ). Can’t find this stuff in history books, one of those things people won’t admit .. Anyway, thx for sharing xx

I was… well, still am intrigued by this “other side” of the history nobody mentions anywhere as well! Old stories, legends about good and evil and how one defeats the other but not likely… Here in Ro we have one little story for everything… For why the Sun “chases” the Moon, why there’s thunder, certain rocks, certain lakes, certain caves, mountains, castles… Everything! It’s so fun to read about it… But it’s even better if you have one of the elders telling you these stories!… Our elders have a certain way of creeping you out or to mesmerise you with the most simple words!
