As the leaves turn to orange and shades of red, the crisp fall air reminds us that Halloween is almost here.

Halloween is here, and most of us are faced with the big question: What will you be? This is the time of year to show off your creativity, and have a new or different persona.

Lets face it,we all have that one go-to costume for a last minute party or get-up. Obviously, be whoever you want to be, but show your creativity!

Here’s a list of costumes that should be avoided, and are just plain wrong.


1. Sexy Cat

Let's stop. My cat called; she's highly offended by this.

2. Three Blind Mice

Lets all follow the general rule: if you don't have a certain disability don't pretend you do just for a Halloween costume.

3. Bunny

The first thing that comes to mind is Reese Witherspoons' character Elle Woods.We know none of us will ever be as perfect as she is, so why even try?

4. Risky Business

Lets all admit, we're all guilty of using the iconic dance scene from Risky Business as a costume, even I'm guilty of this.We can also admit it's not a creative idea, and should be put to rest.

5. Sexy Minnie Mouse

Please stop sexualizing my childhood. Minnie Mouse in my opinion is a symbol of feminism. She didn't take no shit from anyone, and quite frankly shouldn't be part of any adults costume. Leave it to the children.

6. Angel v. Devil

Some of us like to think of ourselves as bad bitches, but going as an angel and devil doesn't show that.This has been over used for years and isn't original. Try going as Alice from 'Resident Evil" franchise, she's a bad-ass chick.

8. The Purge

I get it. You think you're bad-ass, but the franchise is dead, and so is this costume.

9. Little Red Riding Hood

This is the one you wear and a million creeps ask you of you're scared of the big bad wolf?

10. Harley Quinn

When Suicide Squad arrived in theaters during summer 2016. Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie became a pivotal part of Halloween that year, every girl, and I do mean every girl opted for this costume. It's been over done, and we should just let Margot rock this ensemble.

11. Any Profession

Let's be honest, scrubs aren't meant to be sexy. They're made for comfort.


Happy Halloween

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
