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...

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.

The month of October is National Popcorn Poppin' Month.  This is a month to celebrate one of the yummiest and most beloved snack foods off all time.  There is no better way to celebrate this holiday than by eating lots of popcorn, and since Halloween is just around the corner, why not give a gift full of tasty popcorn treats.  

We all know that someone that seems to always be in a bad mood, or you could be the one that is in a bad mood all the time.  Whatever the case, today is National Grouch Day.  For that person that is in a bad mood all the time, today tell them that that are a big grouch, maybe they will change.  If you are always in a great mood, why not try being a grouch today, it may be hard, start with unpleasant facial expressions, then move on to making everyone around you feel horrible about themselves.

Happy Columbus Day!
