Travel Diaries: Detroit Parking Garage Adventure

Detroit parking garages are home to some amazingly unique pieces of art. Here\’s a few of my favorites that I discovered recently.

The Color Run Night Run

I kind of have a slight obsession with any run that throws color at you…. especially one that throws glow in the dark color. I recently participated in The Color Run Night Run on Belle Isle and it was so much fun, I loved how much the colors were glowing under the black lights. Have you done any races lately?

Terror on Tillson

Happy Halloween! I\’m not a huge fan of Halloween, however I cannot help but fall in love with Tillson Street in Romeo, Michigan. The home owners of the street go all out for Halloween, here\’s a peek at the haunted street.

Halloween Treat: Frankenstein

While I may not be a fan of Halloween, I am a huge fan of fun Halloween treats, and this past weekend I got together with my mum to create these adorable Frankenstein monsters. They\’re quick and easy to make, and would make a fun little candy project to create with kids.

How to create a monster:
1. Dip square pretzels in green chocolate.
2. Add brown sprinkles to the top for the hair.
3. Add the candy eyes.
4. Create the candy mouth and add the red sprinkles for the cut by the eye.
5. Drip pretzel pieces into the green chocolate and attach to either side of Frankenstein\’s head.
