Dia De Los muertos

It’s Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead 💀- a holiday celebrated mostly in Mexico on November 1 and 2. It’s like a family reunion except dead ancestors are the guests of honor. It’s meant to be a joyful time to celebrate the memories of the deceased. Death can often be morbid, but this is a unique cultural holiday that goes the opposite with fun festivities, face paint, food, pictures, and more! 🎉

I (Ashley) had the fortunate opportunity to experience Dia de Los Muertos a few years ago in Mexico City. It’s coincidentally the same day as my sister’s birthday, and my sister died 10 years ago, so it was really cool to be able to be a part of a community that honors and celebrates those that have passed on! 🇲🇽

The vibrant colors, lively music, and union of family and friends was such an incredible experience to witness!
