Halloween is fast approaching, and if you’re anything like me (i.e. indecisive, a chocoholic, a procrastinator, and pretty much broke AF) deciding on a costume that won’t break the bank and can be put together ASAP is practically a miracle! Last week I wrote about 20 things to do in Fall, and since we are currently in the middle of the 2016 Fall season (How is it already OCTOBER though?!), the weather has been cooling down and before we know it Halloween will have past and we’ll be planning our New Year's Resolutions… that we may or may not keep. Whether you’re going to Trick-or-Treat, a themed party, or whatever you do on Halloween, these 11 costume ideas are perfect!

1. Regina George

Cut two holes over the chest into a white tank top, and a colorful bra or cami underneath! Add in a black skirt and black shoes and your good to go! If you want to add a blonde wig go for it, this is such an easy costume to pull off.

2. COSTUME

Grab a t-shirt, black paint and a paint brush and your halfway done. Writing the word COSTUME onto a t-shirt is a simple idea for halloween and will probably get a good laugh from your friends! Print out stencils to make neater letters or free hand it, just remember to let the paint dry before wearing it!

3. A Nerd

It’s practically a classic Halloween look, “nerd” glasses and suspenders along with pens, pencils, and a calculator in the breast pocket of a button down shirt and your done!

4. A Black Cat

You can literally just draw whiskers on your face. Or if you have more time, add in a cat ear headband. Don’t forget to wear all black!

5. Error 404: Page

This costume goes along the line as the COSTUME one. Everybody knows “Error 404: File Not Found” page. Well Grab a T-shirt, marker or paint, and voila! A new costume is created! Substitute in “costume not found” for “file not found” and you are complete!

6. Basic Girl

Uggs, a Northface, and leggings. Bam you are done! Add in some Starbucks for a complete look.

7. Lazy Day

Wear your PJ’s, sweats or whatever you wear on lazy days, messed up hair and a blanket and popcorn or some type of snack and your “Lazy Day” costume is complete!

8. Tourist

Get a fanny pack laying around and a Hawaiian/Tropical shirt, add in sunglasses and a camera and you officially look like a Tourist.

9. When Life Gives You Lemons

Write or paint “Life” onto a t-shirt, preferably a white one so you can see the words clearly, and buy a lemon or a bag of lemons and pretend to hand them out. You can actually hand them out but since you bought them, you might as well keep them and use them for Lemonade or another dish!

10. Secret Service

Black sunglasses and dark clothing or a suit and you can be secret service!

11. Risky Business

A oversized white button down shirt with white socks and black sunglasses and you are Tom Cruise in Risky Business! ( wear shorts or boxers or spandex underneath!)

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.
