One thing about our employees, they’re always going to show up and show out on Halloween. From qwerky to classic, everyone brought their A-game with their creativity. After much deliberation, we’re excited to announce the winners of our costume contest.

First up, let’s give a standing ovation to our 1st Place winner, **Julissa Fernandez**, who transformed into the ultimate fashion villain, Cruella Deville! With her black dress, a black and white spotted fur, red gloves and a long cigarette holder, Julissa was a true vision of villainy. With her adorable Dalmatian, Pongo, she channeled all the dramatic flair of Disney’s infamous character.

Taking home 2nd Place, we have *Maria Deleon as GOJO Pink Soap! Maria channeled her innerproduct and cleverly transformed into the bag in the box soap straight off our production line. With a cut out for her face and the GOJO SKILCRAFT label, Maria really brought the product to life.

And finally, 3rd Place goes to **Natalie Vasquez**, who brought a piece of Halloween magic to life as Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Dressed in her iconic patchwork outfit and sporting blue skin and long red hair, Natalie looked like she stepped right out of Jack Skellington’s world. Who wouldn’t want to join her in Halloween Town?

But that’s not all! Our warehouse specialist Benjamin Brockman joined the party as everyone’s favorite lost character, Waldo! His red and white striped shirt and glasses made him easy to spot (most of the time!).

Our skin care workers also joined in on the fun. Prisma Maldonado dazzled everyone by dressing as Barbie, complete with a bright pink ensemble and a big, cheerful smile that embodied the iconic doll’s spirit. Meanwhile, Samantha Reyna took a darker turn, channeling the eerie essence of Stephen King’s Carrie, complete with a flowing gown and the signature blood splatter that made her truly unforgettable.

We also had a spooky mix of other costumes, from zombies and vampires to two diabolical devils and a bottle of sriracha hot sauce that definitely added some spice to the mix!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this Halloween so memorable. The creativity and spirit here are truly unmatched! Until next year, keep the spooky vibes alive!
