Cheap and Easy Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays. I am a Christmas fan all the way – I go all out. My Christmas craze tends to be a little pricey due to all the decorations, presents, Christmas sweaters, hot chocolate etc. Since I try to save money for Christmas, I try not to invest a lot of money in Halloween costumes. Here are some of my favorite and cheapest Halloween costume ideas.

1. Any type of animal.

Even though this one is pretty basic, it’s extremely easy. All you have to do is purchase the ears of that animal and then color coordinate you outfit to replicate the animal. There are a lot of ways one can go with this costume choice.

2. Risky Business.

It’s simple – borrow a white button down shirts from a boyfriend, older brother, guy friend etc. Then just wear knee high socks and dark sunglasses.

3. A vampire.

All you need for this costume is all black clothes and a stick of red lipstick. You can use the red lipstick to draw blood on you. There is also the option of adding fake vampire teeth, but in all honesty they are really uncomfortable and not worth it. Also, put your own style into it.

4. Easy A.

If you have seen the movie you know exactly what I am talking about. All you have to do is wear black and pin a red A to your outfit. It does not get any easier!

5. A Snapchat filter.

This idea is both fun and creative! Just go on your phone, open your Snapchat app and look through the filters! You will be surprised how easy it is to mimic these filters and turn them into Halloween costumes. For example, theres the flower head filter. Buy a flower crown and then wear all black with a snapchat code taped to your shirt.

6. A Clown.

This is one of the easiest and cheapest costume of all. All you have to do is go to your local goodwill and buy an FSU shirt for a dollar. Done. You will look like the biggest fool of all.

Whether you are trying to save money or are just too lazy to put together a more intricate Halloween costume, try looking into some of these ideas.

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.
