Sugar Skulls - 10 Ways To Add Them Into Your Life

By Lisa VanWilliams

A Calavera or Sugar Skull is used in the Mexican celebration called Day of the Dead. Sugar skulls are really a celebration of life and a way to remember friends and family who have passed away. These symbolic tributes are full of color, design, and intricate details and the ancient Mexican tradition is gaining exposure throughout the U.S. You can find art, jewelry, tattoos, clothing, and home decor in all different styles and colors. They say the bright colors are used because they want to capture the joy and spirit of their deceased loved ones.
