What's Halloween and fall without a pumpkin? The first step in making October feel like October is finding your local pumpkin patch and picking out your favorite one. You could even go to your local grocery store and pick from their many choices. Get to carving!

We all love cookies, right? Well how about spooky cookies? Most grocery stores sell these Pillsbury cookies that just need to be put in the oven. A nice, sugary treat with Halloween decor on top.

Watch the Classic Disney Halloween Movies

I'm not sure if it is nostalgia or what but during this time I always love to watch the Halloween Disney classics. Bringing back "Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus" always puts me in the mood for the season. Grab your close friends and get to reminiscing!

Visit Jerome, Arizona

Jerome, Arizona has become one of the largest known ghost towns. I mean literally... a ghost town. A town that thrived during the copper mining era, now welcomes tourism and encourages tourists to go ghost hunting. And also stay at the haunted hotel that was once a hospital. Can you say spooky?

Visit the Arizona State Fair

Eat Candy

Candy. Halloween IS candy. It is your one excuse to stuff your face with all of your sugary favorites. It is not Halloween without it. Chocolate, gummies, lollipops, you name it! And hey... you're never 'too old' to go trick or treating... well... maybe once you're old enough to drive a car. So, instead, go drive to the store and buy your candy!

DIY Halloween Costumes

If you're like me and don't want to spend all of your money on Halloween costumes, I say make them yourself. It can be fun to look on Pinterest and see what fun ideas you can come up with. Goodwill is always a great place to find pieces for your costumes and you can even look in your own wardrobe. I'm sure you have something! Get your vampire on!

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.
