Home Depot Has a 10.5 Foot Oogie Boogie Halloween Inflatable - Don't Tell Sandy Claws
Home Depot is really delivering on all spooky fronts as we head into Halloween. First, we were "oohing" and "aahing" over the store's life-size Jack Skellington and Sally decor, and now we've spotted another Nightmare Before Christmas character to add to our collection. Please welcome the giant 10.5 foot Oogie Boogie inflatable to your front lawn!
At this point, Oogie Boogie is synonymous with all things Halloween. We've seen the creepy, crawly villain in the form of bath bombs, popcorn buckets, and more during the fall, but there's something extra terrific (and frightening!) about a towering, glowing green monster as outdoor decor, wouldn't you agree? Built-in LED lights make this inflatable a sight to behold, and of course, you can spot him holding his signature dice - someone warn Sandy Claws! Get a closer look at the ominous Oogie Boogie below, and decide if you're ready to welcome him to your home.
I've Tried A Lot of CBD Products, and These Hemp-Derived Picks Are the Very Best
Since 2011, cannabis has helped me ease anxiety, heal from trauma, manage pain, deal with depression, sleep better, and so much more - but lately, I've definitely been in a CBD-centric phase. Over the last year, the state of the world, along with my own physical health issues, has left me craving a sense of controlled calm that, for me at least, is easiest to find with full-spectrum CBD products and low-dose THC products. Plus, I currently live in a state where THC-dominant products are only legal for medical cannabis patients, and I can't afford my medical card yet.
Whether you're seeking pain relief, you could use some help managing your mental health, or you're just looking for a way to relax while still maintaining a sense of control, the CBD products in this roundup are worth a try. I've personally used or consumed every one of them, and in my opinion, they're the best of the best. They're all made with high-quality, hemp-sourced CBD, and if you live in the US, they'll ship right to your door.

Old Navy Dropped Affordable Leopard-Print Activewear, and It's Fall Workout Motivation
Workout gear has become incredibly varied lately - prints, pant lengths, and styles continue to get cuter. Where I once was choosing between basic legging variations like cropped length vs. full length, I can now sort through a plethora of options that run that gamut from printed biker shorts to tie-dye prints and even tropical. And one retailer in particular is experimenting with all of these styles regularly. Old Navy not only keeps the price point reasonable, but maintains high-quality fabrics in super cute prints. Right now, I'm on a serious leopard print kick and these nine pieces are catching my eye big time.

These Hocus Pocus Tattoos Are Tiny, but They'll Put a Spell on You
We used to think that watching Hocus Pocus on a weekly basis throughout the entire month of October was a strong enough display of our love for the movie, but that was before we found out that there are dozens of people out there who are (understandably) dedicating permanent body art to the Halloween classic. We'll admit it: Hocus Pocus tattoos - specifically of the tiny variety - are a very niche category, but they're also very popular, and considering the fact that the film will forever hold a place in our spooky, Halloween-loving hearts, it's easy to understand why.
The trend itself isn't new at all, and these tattoos aren't something that fans of the film have to wait around until Halloween to get, but they're definitely a fun way to keep yourself in the holiday spirit all year long. Keep scrolling ahead for a few of our favorite tiny Hocus Pocus tattoos that we saw on Instagram.

Costco's New Cookies and Cream Cupcakes Will Be the Sweetest $11 Treat I've Ever Given Myself
I consider myself an amateur baker after working my way through sourdough bread and oh-so-many chocolate chip cookies at home, but I'm ready to give my KitchenAid the night off after seeing Costco's new Cookies and Cream cupcakes. Let's leave the baking to the professionals, shall we? After eagle-eyed foodie @costcobuys spotted a 12-pack of these sweet treats for $11, I knew a trip was in my future.
The cupcakes are made with a yellow cake base, a chocolate chip mousse, and an actual chocolate chip cookie on top. So yes, I'll take all 12, thank you very much! It's unclear exactly which Costco bakeries will be carrying this dessert, so make sure you call ahead to your closest location before making a trip. Happy snacking!

I Was Supposed to Finish My 50th Race This Year, but When I Finally Do, It'll Mean Even More
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted virtually every part of my life, from my work as a theme park journalist and not being able to see my friends for extended periods of time, to how I go to the grocery store and how I train for half marathons. You see, I'm an avid runner, and this year I was supposed to cross the finish line of my 50th RunDisney race.
Earlier this year, I completed two races at RunDisney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend, a virtual Star Wars-themed half marathon, and a 5K on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. The last of those was in March, and then the novel coronavirus emerged and everything shut down. My goal to cross the finish line of my 50th race had been put on hold, but I held on to hope that I'd at least be able to compete during the RunDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World in November.
In the meantime, I kept up some outdoor training and stayed motivated with RunDisney's annual summer virtual 5K series, which this year was themed to classic Disney attractions. Then the inevitable happened.
In July, when I got the Twitter alert from RunDisney announcing that the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend was canceled as an in-person event and being turned into a virtual race, I was devastated. I was holding out a small sliver of hope that the race could somehow go on, even though I knew in my head there was no possible way to bring thousands of runners to Walt Disney World to complete the course and ensure everyone's safety. RunDisney gave runners the option to cancel their registration for a full refund, or still participate virtually and receive a Disney gift card. I got a refund for the 5K I was registered to do, and decided to run the 10K virtually.
When I got the news about the canceled race, I decided to stop running until later in the fall. It wasn't worth the ridiculous heat and misery of doing training runs in July and August, when morning temperatures started out in the 80s.
In November, I'll complete the 10K, setting up fake character meet and greets, virtually running by attractions that would have been along the race course at Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, and taking the coveted finish line photo - all in my neighborhood - then finishing the race off with a beer. All of this has been inspired by one of my favorite running and fitness Instagram pages, Crowned Athletics, who has been hosting their own virtual races with people from around the world who love RunDisney.
This virtual 10K will be my 47th race, and another Star Wars virtual race in January will be my 48th. So, when will I get to cross the finish line and celebrate 50 RunDisney races? Hopefully next April during the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend. Registration is already open, and I've signed up for the 5K and 10K with the hope that a vaccine will arrive and life will return to some level of normalcy that allows us to run races again.
Until then, I'll be dreaming of the day when runners can gather again, and I hope everyone who has lost so much during the pandemic can find something to look forward to and hope for in the future.

You Heard It Right - This 10-Minute Resistance-Training Circuit Counts as Cardio
When ACE-certified personal trainer Jennifer Nagel is short on time, she says there is nothing better than doing workouts with dual benefits of resistance and cardiovascular training. It's her trick for keeping exercise boredom at bay, too.
Just as long as your heart rate stays at a moderate to vigorous level (50-85 percent of your max heart rate!) for at least 10 minutes during an exercise, Nagel says it counts as cardio.
"A quick way to calculate your approximate maximum heart rate is 220 [minus] your age," she explains.
Traditional strength training moves don't normally make the cardio cut because of rest periods that bring your heart rate down, Nagel says. But, a resistance-training circuit with little-to-no rests keeps your heart pumping while targeting multiple muscle groups - don't let the goal hinder you from taking breaks or modifying moves when needed, though!
"These types of workouts are effective when you include compound exercises that work large muscle groups such as legs, back, and chest, or even when you can combine multiple compound movements into one exercise," Nagel says. Think of doing a squat to an overhead reach, for example.
Every great workout is nothing without a warmup and cooldown. Before getting started on Nagel's circuit, she suggests walking in place or dancing around followed by dynamic movements like arm swings, torso twists, knee hugs, and air squats.
You'll be tired by the end of this sweat, but that doesn't mean you should skip out on Nagel's cooldown stretches: overhead reaches, chest openers, and quadricep stretches. These will keep your head above your heart until your heart rate slows to less than 50 percent of your max, she adds.
Finish off the cooldown with toe touches, static lateral lunges, and a Cat to Cow pose for 3-5 deep breaths.
