Reader BEWARE, you're in for a SCARE!!!

Haha, not really. Just thought I'd pull out the ole' R.L. Stine reference for old time's sake.

As the spook-alicious time of year fast approaches us, it is important to prepare by getting into the Halloween spirit, and ready for the demon-children to come and take away your precious treats... IF THEY DARE.

Here are some ways to get into that fright-tastic state of mind...

Buy your pick of the pumpkins early!

The early bird gets the worm, and the early Halloweenie gets the best Punkin's!

Carve that sucker!

  • Tell that Punkin', "time for chunkin'"! Go cute, go scary, go nuts!

Find where the local Halloween store is planning to open up, then camp out the night before it opens!

Gotta get the goods! I don't condone violence, but use that uppercut if you gotta! Oh, and don't forget your coupons.

Remember, you are NEVER too old for craft nights and baking!

NEVER TOO OLD!

Embrace the fact that Kit-Kats during this time of year... will be ORANGE!

My favorite color. One of my favorite candies. It's a good time all around!

Oh, yeah, that reminds me... BUY CANDY!

Your face will look a lot like this little guy's!

... FOR YOURSELF!

Check your local listings for Halloween line-ups for TV shows, cooking competitions, party and food tutorials, and Halloween-themed episodes of your favorite sitcoms!

Perfect for getting in that spook-tacular, Halloween mood!

Plan your visits to the haunted hayrides, houses and pumpkin patch, now!

These are the activities to really get the blood pumping, and the dead arising!

Start planning your costume, NOW!

Gotta look your spookiest!

Start decorating, NOW!

Show the neighborhood that YOU MEAN BUSINESS!

Plan your night NOW!

First: Hand out candy.

Next: Trick or treating!

Then: Halloween party!

Finally: Binge horror flicks till you fall soundly asleep... THEN JOLT AWAKE FROM YOUR NIGHTMARES, MUUAHAHAH!

Remember to check your candy!

This is important! Also…"check" your friends' candy too. ;)

To end off the night right, WATCH YOUR FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE!

It is the perfect way to end off the season. Better yet, leave out the unattended cauldron and hit the flicks early. Whatever you need!

BONUS: Plan a binge day (or week) for all your favorite horror flicks!

There is nothing better than getting nostalgic during this time of year. Those old cartoon specials that you fell in love with, R.L. Stine's Goosebumps movies, or those slasher flicks that made you scared out of your mind, never forget them!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
