Halloween And All It's Glory

It Can Get Expensive Though....

DIY Costume

So Halloween has already passed and I know this is kind of weird but it is probably one of my favorite holidays! I definitely love most of the fall holidays, you know Thanksgiving, Christmas, Veterans Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, New Years. They are all pretty good reasons to get out of school or sleep in, but really they mean so much more.

Moving on, Halloween isn't a holiday that you get to get out of school or receive yummy food or celebrate Jesus. However, Halloween is a time for you to be something else, someone else. I'm not sure why I love it so much, maybe I'm not happy with myself... or maybe I'm so happy with everything that I am that I want to create another person thats just as amazing (sorry, jk I'm not that conceded).

Halloween can sometimes get expensive, if you're anything like me you want more than one costume for all the festivities. There's parties, themed events, and actual halloween; so I like to have a costume for each one. A couple of years ago I actually had 3 different costumes and rocked them all so cheaply.

I don't like spending money frivolously. I like to get my money's worth and save as much as I can. So I DIY a lot. I mean all the time. Just go check out my DIY Wedding article.

You'll see how much I actually made for my wedding. Anyways, I like to make my costumes or order parts of them from Amazon or Ebay as much as possible. It's actually super easy and you'd be surprised how cheap things on Ebay go for.

There are a ton of websites and lists and pinterest post that show you just how easy it is to make your own costumes. I already have mine and my husband's costumes picked out for the next 5 years, if not more! Here is a website in particular that I like to resort to when I'm looking for some fun costumes that can be made pretty easily: http://costumeyeti.com/easy-diy-halloween-costumes. Check it out and maybe you can make one your costumes for next year!

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.
