Afternoon, Twters! My friend got me this AMAZING mug for Halloween this year, it's just been filled with hot chocolate and mini marshmallows. Had my flu jab this morning, so I think I've earned a little treat. Happy Autumn, all!

A halloween mug: looks like a witch with a removable witch's hat on it to keep hot drinks hot in the cooler months. It's mostly black with an orange and white collar, orange shoes, and a black and white striped handle.
