I’m having a little too much fun with Halloween this year! In case you missed it, I shared my DIY Minnie Mouse costume last week, and today I have my DIY Snow White Costume!
I’m taking my daughter to a few different Halloween parties this year and I didn’t want to wear the same costume over and over again.
I also didn’t want to go with a premade costume, as I wanted to pull something together with stuff in my closet.
As I was perusing my closet, this yellow midi skirt jumped out at me and I looked at it and instantly thought “Snow White.”.
I added a blue sweater and collared shirt for the rest of the outfit.
For the final touch, I went to the crafts store and picked up red ribbon to add a big bow to my headband as well as a red belt.
I know Snow White doesn’t wear a red belt, but I liked the added touch.
The entire costume cost less than $20 since I was able to use items that were already in my closet!
I love dressing up for halloween but try to come up with cute but easy to put together costumes. This DIY Minnie Mouse is definitely one of the easiest ones that I’ve made and you only need a few pieces to pull it all together.
EASY DIY MINNIE MOUSE COSTUME IDEA
I was big on Halloween as a kid and teenager; I LOVED picking out my costume and trick-or-treating. In the past few years, Halloween has been less about costumes and more about passing out candy to the neighborhood kids. But this year, my daughter is old enough to be excited to dress up for Halloween and I’m so loving that!
I wanted to dress up with her and, since Minnie Mouse is her favorite character in the world, I had to dress up as Minnie.
MINNIE MOUSE COSTUME MATERIALS
Although you can get plenty of pre-made costumes, I wanted the costume to be a little bit more me, so I ended up getting a red tutu and Minnie ears, and I had the makings of a cute Minnie Mouse!
I stopped by the craft store to pick up some felt to make polka dots on my tutu and got to work! And, seriously, this is the easiest DIY ever.
Let’s be real: I don’t have time for extensive DIYs, so this took me all of 10 minutes to do.
I used a mug as a stencil, and then just cut out all the circles, used tacky glue, and stuck them on the skirt.

Tip: If you are headed out to trick or treat and it’s a bit chilly, add a pair of fleece lined tights to keep your legs warm
EASY DIY MINNIE MOUSE HALLOWEEN COSTUME WITH TUTU
I had fun creating my costume and loved that I could just grab what I had in my closet with a few additional pieces.
I really only had to buy the tutu, mouse ears and felt which was not expensive at all so I was happy to not have to spend a ton of money on my costume!

I don’t talk much about health and fitness on my blog much but it is a huge part of my life that I enjoy. I don’t get to work out as much as I’d like because of my work schedule but I still try to go a few times a week and when I go, I spend about an hour to an hour and a half pushing myself and getting the best workout possible. My husband works out about 5-6 days a week and he is probably the fittest person I know which really helps in keeping me motivated to work out. My gym routine usually consists of 30-45 minutes of weights and 30-45 minutes of cardio. Although I don’t mind working out on my own, I love taking classes as I love having an instructor to push me to my max and when there are other people in the class I push myself harder. When I attended bootcamp classes, I was pleasantly surprised at my own strength and what I could accomplish and love the feeling I get after a great workout. I haven’t been able to commit to a regular class schedule lately so when Glam Media and Nike approached me about trying out and blogging about the Nike Training Club app for my iPhone, I felt like it was perfect timing as I could work out on my own schedule and the app itself is like my very own personal trainer!
I started the program last week and let me tell you that I LOVE it! I actually wish that I had discovered this app a bit sooner as it was something I needed since I had been needing to get new moves in my routine. It’s always great to incorporate new moves as you want your muscles to be challenged in new ways in order to get results. There are four programs in the app that you can choose from:
Get Lean: High interval, cardio drills to slim down
Get Toned: Light weights and intervals to add definition
Get Strong: Increased weights and reps to build strength
Get Focused: 15 minute workouts to target specific areas
I love all the programs and probably at some point will try them all but for the next 6 weeks I’ve decided to go with the Get Lean program because I absolutely love cardio intervals. I don’t work out to lose weight because for me, the only way I lose weight is to change my diet but I work out to be healthy, strong and toned which are the results that I get from doing cardio intervals.
Within each program, you get to choose Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. And then within those, there are several workouts to choose from that last around 30-45 minutes. You choose which workout you want and it will show you each move that you will be doing and for how long. The awesome part is that you can select any of the moves and they have photos to show you step by step, how to do each one.
Once you’ve selected the one you want to go with, you hit “Do Workout” and guess what? A voice comes on and it’s like your own personal trainer telling you what moves to do, how long to do it, how much time you have remaining for each move and even gives you encouragement! And if you forget how to do a move, all you do is hit the “play” button and a video comes out showing you exactly how to do it! Seriously, it is so awesome! After you are done, it tracks your workouts to show you what you’ve done and how many minutes you’ve completed total.
I’ve been using the app for the first part of my workout and then finishing the last half with cardio (usually running) so I still get about an hour or longer workout. If you don’t have an hour to spare, the 30 minute workouts that the app puts together are definitely good enough for a great workout.
I would love it if some of you joined me in downloading and using the Nike Training Club app and we all got toned and lean together! (Feel free to choose which program works best for you!) Each week I’ll be posting my progress and I’d love to have you guys telling me about your progress as well and all of us supporting and encouraging each other! And as an incentive (like getting healthy and fit wasn’t already enough!) you will have a chance to win lots of great Nike gear and other awesome prizes! Come back next week to find out how to enter the Nike Training Club Sweepstakes!
