Eastern State Penitentiary Halloween Haunt

I'm behind my posting schedule again. Making Halloween posts in the 2nd week of November. So far, I've been busy doing nothing, but I'll get back into the swing of writing and posting.

❀Eastern State Penitentiary❀

  My family and I went to Halloween Nights at eastern state again this year, We've been there a few times before in October and it's always fun. They moved some stuff around and there were a few new things they added in this year. I don't have any pics from inside the haunts because they aren't allowed. I also got a really good Shirley Temple from the bloodline lounge that I forgot to take a picture of. The grenadine syrup came in a little syringe, and I got to "inject" it in myself. 

Walking and trying to take selfies just doesn't work...

Sunday Oct 27th Franklin Institute, then Prince Tea House

Museum Fun ❀🙧

  I did so much running around on Sunday, I'm still tired. My cousin and her kids were visiting for Halloween weekend so we were out doing family things for like three days. One of the last things was visiting the franklin institute!

They were doing a few Halloween specific activities (mainly for kids) but it was fun and the usual science exhibits were really interesting.

Me messing around with a synthesizer.

One really cool exhibit, Amazing Machine, was about complex machines and showed the inside of an antique singer sewing machine! Even cooler, the had Maillardet's automaton, the Draughtsman-Writer! Σ(°ロ°)!!

It originally had an outfit on, but it's really old and has been through a fire, so now the brass body frame is exposed. They have the automaton displayed with the clockwork exposed from the back (visible through glass).

Getting Tea ❀🙧

 Here are some detail photos of the outfit I wore all Sunday. I coordinated it to twin w/ my homie. If my hair looks blue instead of purple, it's because it is. I refreshed my hair color wrong.

Purple Hair for Halloween

I dyed my hair ghostly purple for Halloween!

I usually DIY my own hair color at home, and this time I wanted to try a different vivid color than the hot pink/black I had for the past year or so. I've been meaning to do this earlier in the month, but I bleached my head and then decided to rock the blonde for half the month. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )✮⋆˙

To achieve this look, I diluted periwinkle Adore semi permanent hair dye, with Jenoris purple shampoo and then left it in my head for like 20ish minutes with a cap on.

Tea Time: orange and vanilla caramel

Mixing my teas together to make a scrumptious combo.

  As you can see in that top image, I've got the Celestial Seasonings, Tangerine Orange Zinger to the left, and the Lipton, Vanilla Caramel flavored black tea to the right.

I'm a big fan of the zinger. We usually keep lemon zinger in the cabinet, but last time we bought tea, we got tangerine. It tastes pretty good, and when by itself, it brews to a bright red color. (not pictured) Fun for Halloween or if you just like being spooky in general.

I put one of each flavor tea bag and a third tea plain tea bag. Totaling into a 1:1:1 ratio, thrown into the pot. Some people look down on flavored teas, but I don't. That's just less tea to drink and that's foolish.

 Here's my tea in it's little cup. <3

It was pretty good, however, I put a little too much water in the tea pot so it was slightly weak. Still drank the whole pot though.
