Babies are not sexy, fruit is not sexy and Harambe is definitely not sexy.

Halloween is the one day in the whole year that you can be whatever your heart desires. People never cease to amaze me with how unbelievably creative and clever they are. A doctor, a scientist, a bunny, a pumpkin; the possibilities are limitless. Boundaries are pushed but sometimes they are pushed too far, especially for women's costumes. I've seen, online and in person, some of the most offensive, strange, and disgusting costumes that should have never been made. Here is a complication of some of the cringe-worthy women's Halloween costumes.

1. "Sexy Sesame Street."




2. "Anna Rexia."


3. "Sexy Harambe."

4. "Sexy Osama Bin Laden."


5. "Navahoe."

6. "Sexy Shrek."

7. "Sexy Fruit."

8. "Sexy Minion."

9. "Sexy Cry Baby."

10. "Sexy Olaf."

11. "Sexy Cecil The Lion."

These costumes sexualize people, animals, and issues that should never ever be seen as sexy. There are three bigs reasons we need to stop the hypersexualization of women's costumes:

1. The costumes dehumanize women and teach young girls that their worth is in their bodies.

2. These costumes are offensive and insensitive to certain people, cultures, races and communities.

3. These costumes are cringe-worthy and distract from the real spirit of Halloween; to be whatever you want to be, not just "sexy."

If what you want to be for Halloween is 'sexy', then all the power to you, but just please do it a way that is respectful and tasteful.

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.
