It is also a time of year famous for eating sweets - adults and kids are prone to jellies, lollipops, bon bons and chocolate this time of year. We're not going to tell you don't have anything sweet, but not all Halloween food needs to contain huge amonts of sugar.

Some of our office team had a chat about this today over our tea-break and shared some fun, spooky, healthy ideas. Check them out after the jump.

Autumn Decoration Ideas!

We like to change things up in Autumn. We eat different foods ( a lot of apples and squash), we drink different flavours and we dress differently. It seems only right that our homes look a little different too. We asked around the office to discover what simple things our team do to make their home look more seasonal. Here are our Top 5 Autumn Decor Ideas. Grab yourself a cold SodaStream drink, sit back and read !



1. New styles of floral arrangements: While we love wild, over grown flower arrangements for the Summer months, it is nice to see something different in our vases come Autumn. One of our favourte things to incorparate in our arrangements is Oak Tree leaves. You can either pick some from your garder or buy preserved ones in florists/garden centre. Make sure to include warm orange/red colours into your arrangements too - this will make all the difference. A good Halloween tip is to dry a bouquet of flowers and put fake spiders all over them. These will look beautiful and just creepy enough to give that spooky feel to your house.

2. It's all about the Pumpkin: Need we say more?! Pumpkins are a cheap and cheerful way to make your home feel seasonal in Autumn. You can stack them by your front door, have them covered in glitter around your bedroom, filled with potpourri in your bathroom or made into laterns for your windowsills. Pumpkins make a beautiful centre piece for any dinner party - carved or uncarved.
