Whether you're just in it for the buckets of candy at the end of the night, or for the love of gory scary horror films, Halloween is a holiday celebrated by all. Here is just a few fun costume ideas that won't break the bank! (Because, we all know there are more important things to spend our money on for Halloween, like Taco Bell at 2 a.m. after being out all night long.)

All you need to make this costume a hit is some killer heels, bright red lipstick, and a sweet leather jacket. The hunk of a guy is optional.

2. Come on Barbie. Let's go Party!

This costume requires a bit more investment, but is super easy! A cardboard box, paint, and a few other essentials are all that is needed to make this ensemble a hit for any party.

3. Audrey Hepburn

Every girl has these classy pieces in their closet! Show off your little black dress and be the life of the party.

4. A Halloween Classic: A Scarecrow

The key to pulling off this look is all in the makeup. Practice makes perfect, and it can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Throw on some boots and distressed jeans, and your look is complete.

5. Rosie the Riveter

A red bandana is a must to make this outfit work, along with red lips, and a button down shirt. The sign is a nice touch and will be a hit at any event.

Halloween is such a fun holiday filled with lots of elaborate costumes and outfits. Don't let your ideas make you go bankrupt, and enjoy your plans with a fun costume everyone will love!

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
