The message on your tombstone is what today's holiday is all about, because it is Plan Your Epitaph Day. As morbid as this holidays is this is something you need to think about, because this may not be a detail that you want to leave for your family to decide. If you let your family decide you could end up with something like this...

• Here lies Fred, a rock fell on his head.
• I made an ash out of myself.
• Don't attempt to climb up in a tree, That's what caused the death of me.

Just when you thought the Halowe’en festivities were over, her comes Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. But this holiday is not for being creepy or scary, despite the skeletons everywhere. It’s a Mexican holiday that combines All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and its origins go back thousands of years to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. These Clay Skeleton Figures remind us of earthly pretensions while making us laugh at the same time.

Today is National Candy Corn Day.  This is a day to eat as much candy corn as possible, and today you do not have to settle for just the traditional candy corn, because now it comes in many different flavors and colors.  This Candy Corn Salt Water Taffy is an example of the spin on this classic Halloween treat.  Did you know that...

If you live in the US then you know it's coming - the dreaded Daylight Saving Time! Just when you think you have it all under control WHAM! they go and change the time on you. Fall back, fall forward - who knows? With the Atomic Digital Alarm Clock you'll always know the correct time because it's linked in to the time signal of the atomic clock in Colorado. The suction cup on the back lets you stick it on the bathroom mirror or tile wall.

Color defiantly matters when it comes to choosing outfits or painting and decorating your home.  If you did not know color can affect your mood and that is what today is all about, because it is National Color Day.  Today is all about discovering how color affects you, it is also a great opportunity to put some color in your life and this Color Changing Vase makes it easy to bring some color to your home decor.

Here is a little information about colors...

Red stimulates a faster heart rate and breathing.  Wearing red is a great way to get yourself noticed but it can make you look heavier. If you decorate with red use it as an accent color.

Yellow is a warm color that can increase your metabolism.  Most people associate yellow with cheerfulness, but you may want to think twice before painting your walls yellow, because people are more likely to loose their tempers in a yellow room and babies tend to cry more.

This type of hat originated in Fez, Morocco. Red is the most common color, but they can also be black or white. My grandfather was a Shriner, so he had a really fancy Fez. This Red Fez comes straight from Egypt through Virtual Khan. The perfect finishing touch for that genie costume!
