Halloween is only a few days away and if you're like me you've probably procrastinated coming up with an awesome costume for your Halloween escapades. Whether you're heading to a costume party, treat or treating, or bar-hopping you don't want to show up without a costume. In order to help my fellow masters of procrastination I've compiled a list of D.I.Y. last minute Halloween costumes.

1. Burglar(s)

For this D.I.Y. all you need is a black and white stripped shirt, some black slacks, a mask and-of course- your bag of "stolen" cash!

2. Rosie the Riveter

This is another quick and easy last minute costume. All that this requires is a red bandanna, and a collared jean shirt. For added effect you could add a sign with the well known phrase "We Can Do It!"

3. "Nudist Strike"

While this is a more "punny" costume it is extremely easy to make. All you need is a sign that reads "Nudist Strike" no other materials required just wear the sign over your clothes!

4. "Identity Theft"

While I've seen this one a lot it's still a pretty creative and easy costume idea. All you need is an abundance of the "Hello My Name is:" stickers. Once you have the stickers write as many different names as you can think of on them and then stick them all over you!


5. "Low Budget Man"

To be honest this is one of my favorites. All you need for this DIY is a trash bag and some duck tape. Don the trash bag as a cape and in duck tape spell out low budget man. You are now a superhero off to save the world, but on a budget.

6. "50 Shades of Grey"

Once again super easy costume especially if you're short on time. For this costume all you need is fifty grey paint swatches, then just glue them to your shirt and you are now "50 Shades of Grey"!


7. Nickel back

For this next costume all you'll need is some nickels! Hot glue the nickels to your shirt and you've transformed into "Nickelback"

8. "The black Eyed Peas"

This is a costume geared towards couples or if you have a friend to pair up with. To become the Black Eyed Peas is a shirt with the letter P on it and a black eye, just use some black eye shadow or costume makeup.

9. Ghost

This costume is a classic. All you need is a white sheet and a pair of scissors. Drape the sheet over yourself and cut some eye holes out so you can see where you're going while you're trick or treating.

10."Fantasy Football"

This is another "punny" costume idea. What you'll need: a football, a witch/wizard hat, which/wizard robes and a wand. The magical aspects will create the fantasy while the football creates the look.

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.
