In Japan, banal Halloween costumes have been a trend for a few years now. Everyday horror presented in a creative way. We can do that too and provide you with the products for your outfit.

«Jimi Halloween» translates from Japanese as «inconspicuous Halloween». They are disguises that are only visible at second glance and usually represent everyday situations that we don't want to be in.

Two examples: The guy waiting outside the meeting room with his laptop until the room is free. And the woman who has brought her own bag for shopping, but it's not quite enough for all the groceries ...

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
