Goblins, ghouls and ghosts are scary, but nothing is truly more terrifying than experiencing a life threatening emergency while living independently. If you are currently living solo with no form of personal protection, it may be in your best interest to keep reading. Should you encounter a home invasion, a home fire or even a serious fall, you could find yourself in grave danger.  Life Alert is as pivotal to your safety as silver bullets are when hunting werewolves.  Under the safety of Life Alert and their emergency pendant you can summon an emergency medical help fast with just one touch of a button.

Better yet, Life Alert’s medical alert pendant is so lightweight and waterproof that you can hide it underneath your costume or any outfit for that matter, so you can still be trendy and safe on Halloween. For more fun ideas, read what Real Simple1 has to say about Halloween tips that are scary cool.

1.       Girl Power Costumes: Etsy has seen more than 170,000 searches for "girl power" in the past year alone. To continue the trend, expect to see lots of costumes inspired by badass woman, from real-life ones to comic book heroes.

2.       Friends Costumes are the New Couples Costumes: Sure, couples costumes are fun, but best friends costumes are even better. For Halloween 2018, grab your BFF and get dressed up in your best matching ensembles. A coven of witches, your favorite sports team, or the cast of Mean Girls is all fair game.

3.       Industrial Chic is the New Modern Farmhouse: While the modern farmhouse look may show no signs of stopping (thanks, Joanna Gaines), the trend experts at Etsy predict that chic industrial style has the power to replace it. For Halloween decor, this means lots of concrete, cool neutral tones, and clean lines.

4.       Concrete Skull Planters: Some years unicorns are in style, other years pineapples are trendy. Well for 2018, skulls are in vogue. From concrete skull planters, to skull pumpkin carving designs, you'll see this creepy-cool motif showing up everywhere.

5.       Seeing the Future: So far in 2018, Etsy has seen over 250,000 searches for "tarot cards," and… the trend is sure to pick up in popularity as Halloween draws near. To incorporate the trend into your Halloween party, invest in a set of cards, some tarot-inspired wall art, or a palmistry-themed candle. 

6.       True Crime: If your Netflix queue is all about true crime dramas, then this Halloween trend is for you. Order some caution tape, fake blood, and magnifying glasses—and set the scene at your Halloween party by decorating a crime scene.
