8 Ways to Dress Like A BadA**
Jezebel

Whether it's on the campaign trail or on the small screen, women everywhere are killing it, and there's no better way to honor them on Halloween than to dress up like them.

If you're looking for eight easy ways to channel a fellow bad b*tch this Halloween, look no further.

1. Hillary Clinton

Wear a suit, add a Hillary 2016 pin and work some pearls to gear up as this Democratic presidential candidate. Hanging out with a guy dressed up as your "First Gentleman" wouldn't hurt either.

2. Leslie Knope

You can repurpose your Hillary Clinton costume to dress up as everyone's favorite TV politician. Just swap out the Hillary pin for a plate of waffles and whipped cream or a framed picture of Vice President Joe Biden, and you're set for Halloween.


3. Beyoncé

While it seems daunting to try to emulate one of the most powerful women in the music industry, I'm sure Yoncé would want you to go for it. Channel Queen B by wearing black and yellow, plus a crown (because you're pretty much running the world), or a black leotard to pay homage to her look in the "Single Ladies" music video. Or just wake up flawless.

4. Ronda Rousey

Get pumped for Halloween by dressing up as one of the most dominant athletes in the ring today. Ronda Rousey knocks out her opponents in record time, so do her justice by donning all black, breaking out some black boxing gloves and putting on your best game face.


5. Abbi & Ilana from "Broad City"

Grab your best friend and move to Broad City for Halloween by dressing up as your favorite New York duo. The best thing about these costumes is that you can literally use clothes already in your closet. For Abbi, wear a tight blue dress or jeans and combat boots (bonus points for anything Oprah-related). Complete your outfit by carrying around Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons. As Ilana, wearing anything outrageous would suffice — maybe you can even find the infamous "Ilana bra."



6. Notorious RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)

Dress up as the Supreme Court Justice who continually supports reproductive justice and the right to choose by channeling Notorious RBG, a persona based on Justice Ginsberg made popular on Tumblr. Throw on some thick-rimmed glasses, a crown, and a black robe, and you're ready for this Halloween as one of the baddest b*tches around.


7. Frida Kahlo

Pay homage to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century by sketching on her signature unibrow and wearing a flower crown, as well as a floral dress. Get inspiration from Bey's take on this classic costume.


8. Powerpuff Girls

Throw it back to your childhood by dressing up like one of your favorite heroes from back in the day. (Were you Blossom, Bubbles, or Buttercup?) Wear a pink, blue, or green dress with a horizontal black stripe. Bows and pigtails optional, general badass-ery mandatory.


No matter whom or what you end up dressing up as, remember to channel your inner bad b*tch this Halloween!

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

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.
