The Lowry Team :: Inexpensive DIY Halloween Costume Ideas

October 13, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team :: Inexpensive DIY Halloween Costume Ideas

The Lowry TeamAccording to the Money Section of US News & World Report, the average person spends $77 on Halloween. Store bought costumes that often cost $50 or more eat up most of the Halloween budget.  Even if you are not an expert seamstress, you can make inexpensive costumes for your kids!

Many costumes can be put together by using your own clothes and then purchasing necessary accessories. When making purchases, use coupons, look for sales or go to second hand stores. Some local second hand stores are as follows:

2nd Chance – 8109 Beckett Center Drive West Chester

Little Sprouts Boutique – 6208 Tylersville Road Mason

Once Upon A Child – 8142 Princeton Glendale Road West Chester

Salvation Army Thrift Store – 7900 Tylersville Road West Chester

The National Retail Federation has announced that the top five costumes this year will be princesses, animals, Spider-Man, Frozen characters and other super heroes. Rather then buy any of these costumes, make them at home!  Save some of that $77 for extra Halloween candy!

To create a Princess costume, use an actual dress from the closet or one used to play dress up in.  Add some tulle underneath, a tiara and a wand.

An animal costume can be made from your own clothes as well.  One example is to dress in a black top and bottoms.  Buy a headband with ears, make a tail, add some face paint and you have yourself a cat costume.

The Spider-Man costume is simply made by wearing tight fitting blue bottoms and a red top.  Paint the Spider-Man logo on the top and purchase a mask.

Expect to see a lot of Elsa costumes on Halloween night!  Create the look with a light blue or white top, a tutu and cape.  Olaf can be made with a white sweatshirt and hat.  Then paint or glue on buttons, nose and eyes for his face.

Make a super hero costume from long underwear or tights and a top. Paint a super hero logo on the top. Use a blanket or other article of clothing for a cape.

You do not have to spend a fortune on Halloween costumes.  Take a look at what you already have in your closet and use a little creativity. Also, remember that second hand stores are a great place to look for items that you need to make the costume.  Many sell actual costumes as well.

The Lowry Team Wishes You a Safe and Happy Halloween!

The Lowry Team Keller Williams :: National Frappe Day

October 7, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team :: National Frappe Day

The Lowry Tam - #NationalFrappeDayNational Frappe Day, celebrated annually on October 7th, honors a drink that is open to much interpretation. Most refer to the Frappe as an iced coffee drink that is blended to produce a tasty froth on top. Others define the Frappe as a frozen drink made with fruit and fruit juices. Then there are those that believe a Frappe to be the equivalent of a milkshake.

Luckily, there are plenty of local restaurants to purchase a frappe no matter what your definition of one is! There are Starbucks everywhere selling specialty coffee drinks.  Starbucks has become popular for their seasonal flavors such as Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel Mocha. In West Chester you can find a Starbucks at 8238 Princeton Glendale Road, 9244 Floer Drive and 7783 Cox Lane. Another place to try is Kidd Coffee located at 311 Nilles Road in Fairfield. They also have a second location in Mason. Gingerbread and Toasted Marshmallow are two of the seasonal flavors they offer at this local Wine and Coffee Bar.

If you define a Frappe as a frozen fruit drink, give Planet Smoothie a try. Planet Smoothie has a location inside LA Fitness at 9282 Allen Road in West Chester and at The Marketplace, 7578 Cox Lane West Chester.  Their menu includes a wide variety of light, classic, energy, protein and super fruit smoothies.  Panera Bread is a great place to go for both of these Frappe versions.  Go to 9444 Civic Centre Boulevard in West Chester to sample their wide variety of coffee drinks and smoothies.

Lastly, if you interpret a Frappe as a milkshake, there are many delicious places to visit.  The Cone at 6855 Tylersville Road is Cincinnati’s best soft serve ice cream. In early Fall they serve Pumpkin and Caramel shakes and malts. Unfortunately, they are closed for the season but we highly recommend you give The Cone a try in the Spring. Flubs is also a fan favorite with locations in both Hamilton and Fairfield. Flubs has been serving Butler County residents for over 40 years and is open year round.

Happy National Frappe Day From The Lowry Team!

Staycation Ideas For The Family This Summer.

The Lowry TeamMany families look for fun day trips to take with the family during the summer.  The Lowry Team suggests The Beach as the first of many “staycation” ideas in this new blog series.

The Beach Water Park located at 2590 Waterpark Drive Mason Ohio 45040 is a fabulous place to go and get away from it all for the day. Located on 35 acres of land in Mason Ohio, The Beach has all the makings of a Caribbean vacation; palm trees, white sand, and waves.

This year, The Beach has new cabanas to relax and enjoy the day in as well as new kids play areas.  Another new feature is the zipline that you can soar over the park on.

The beach offers a heated wave pool with a kiddie cove and numerous other slides and attractions.  The Big Kahuna is the only water coaster in the Midwest. The 1200 foot long lazy river moves at a relaxing 5 mph for those who want something a little less heart racing. There is an area to play water basketball, beach volleyball and an indoor arcade. Swimming lessons are also available.

Besides the rides and attractions, The Beach has many special events:

Tuesday nights, the water park transforms into Club Splash.  From 8:30 pm – 11:30 pm, teens can hang out and dance. Music is  provided by a live DJ and a large screen features music videos.

Sundays are Reggae Sundays at The Beach.  Enjoy live music from 2 pm – 5 pm at The Stage at Sunset Beach.

June 26th is Cincinnati Reds Mascot Day.  Meet the Reds Mascots and get free giveaways.  

Drive In Movies begin at dusk on June 28th (Frozen), July 19th (LEGO Movie) and August 9th (Despicable Me).

Regular admission price for The Beach is $28.99 and parking is $8.  Park goers arriving after 3 pm will be able to purchase discount tickets for $17.99. Father’s get in free with a purchased admission ticket.  A coupon must be provided. Check their website for coupons and special offers.
