October, It's One Of The Best Months Of The Year

Ohhh, October. the temperature starts to change, the season of holidays begins, people start to decorate their homes. Nothing is better than watching scary movies, getting to pull out the sweaters and boots that have been sitting in your closet since last year. Ohhh, and pumpkin everything, am I right?

It's the start of the holiday season!!!

With October it takes us into the most festive time of the year, November equals Thanksgiving, December equals Christmas. A time full of family and friends and good food. And all the boxes of decorations we get to bring down from the attic. All the amazing flavored foods and seasonal candies.

Bath and Body Works, that's all I'm gonna say.

I mean there are the Halloween, Fall and Christmas lines that are amazing. I mean if your gonna say that you don't go out and spend a decent amount of money here at this time of the year your lying to yourself. Now not everyone loves this store but the scented candles they have are so wonderful. They fill your home with just warm and inviting scents.

All of the movies.

ABC Family's 31 Nights of Halloween, and their 25 Days of Christmas. (I refuse to call them freeform.) Not to mention there is the Hallmark channel, and they are bringing up a whole new line up for this Christmas. There are so many good movies for this time of year, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Elf," "Hocus Pocus," "Home Alone," and the list goes on forever. Grab a cozy blanket, some snacks and you got yourself the best night ever.

Pumpkins, Cookies, Boots, Scarves, Candy canes, Gingerbread Houses, Trick or Treating.

Making cookies, carving pumpkins, getting to wear boots and scarves. Well getting to wear boots and scarves in Florida isn't till like December, but October lets us know that it won't be hot all day every day for much longer. Carving pumpkins, while messy is so much fun because trying to get a really good design can be kind of tricky. Making a gingerbread house is a mission in it of itself because trying to get the walls to stay up and the roof not to slide off is such a struggle, but the end results and the memories are worth all the struggling. Trick or treating no matter how old you are is fun because free candy is the best candy, and getting to dress up is part of the fun too.

October, you are a great month and thank you for being you!

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.
