If you want originality, uniqueness, and a costume that every other person won’t be wearing, then keep on reading because you’re sure to find inspiration from my list of 8 good halloween costume ideas!





1. Rag Doll

A Rag Doll is a fun, easy, unique and inexpensive good halloween costume idea! You can make the costume yourself easily! Fashion a mop style hat and an apron out of some material, and wear them over a flowered dress. Striped stockings and drawn-on freckles would complete the look!

2. Maid Marion

Robin Hood is one of my all time favorite characters and stories of all time. So of course Maid Marion is one of my top choices for a good halloween costume idea! Maybe you could even talk your sweetheart into dressing as Robin Hood so the two of you could arrive at the party as a couple! That would make it a hit for sure!

3. Padme Amidala

Padme Amidala is a good halloween costume idea for you Star Wars fans out there! Padme’s costume will be pretty easy to put together. All you need are some white pants, boots and a white shirt. You can then add a cool belt and carry a light saber to complete the look. Check in the children’s toy sections of most stores to find the light saber.

4. Era Costume

We all have our own favorite eras and time frames. So here’s a good halloween costume idea that you will be able to work hard honey! Choose your favorite era, be it the fifties, the eighties, the pioneer days or the 16th century and then gather a costume based on your choice. Thrift stores would be a good place to start in order to put together a costume that would go along with your chosen theme. You can often find many vintage or dated items in thrift stores.

5. A Little Girl

Here’s your chance to really work those baby blues-or whatever color your eyes may be! We all wish we could go back to our carefree days as a child right? So put some pigtails in your hair, find a cute little romper to wear and clutch a dolly in your hand. You’re guaranteed to get pinches on your widdle cheekies!

6. A Bad Fairy

I love fairies, but little pink and purple glittery fairies are so last year. The bad fairy is a good halloween costume idea that will get you noticed right away! Find some black wings and a black dress and wear sultry eye makeup. In fact, I plan to be a bad fairy for halloween this year, so I’m giving you my costume idea!

7. A Schoolgirl

A good halloween costume idea that you won’t see on every other girl in the room is a schoolgirl! Teachers are bound to be scattered around the party, but don’t they need pupils? Bust out the stockings, checkered mini skirt and white collared shirt. Top it off with glasses and an inordinate amount of lipgloss and you’re good to go!

8. A Bride Ghost

You knew I had to throw in at least one slightly scary or freaky good halloween costume idea! The bride of Frankenstein is going to be on every corner come halloween, but how about a bride who was left at the altar and now haunts around looking for her forgotten suitor? Steer clear of blood, remember you’re dead, not dying. Use makeup to create “hollows” under your eyes and mascara “tracks” from tears down your face. Rip and dirty your dress and veil and carry black, dried out flowers.
Halloween can be fun for children and adults alike! All you need is a little creativity and a hoppin’ party to go to and you’re all set. With this list of good halloween costume ideas, you already have a few characters to dress up as, so what are you waiting for? Get started on that fab costume! What are some of your Good Halloween Costume Ideas?

8 Celebrities That Look Older Than Their True Age …



Celebrities That Look Older than their real age are, indeed, a special group of celebs. They either have bad genes, overwork themselves, overdress themselves or allow drugs and alcohol to destroy the only thing they can’t buy – their skin. So, if you’ve ever seen some famous folks and thought “Maaaan, if I ever had to make a list of celebrities that look older I’d definitely put her in”, don’t worry, as I’ve been thinking the same thing. So, take a look at this list of 8 really popular celebrities that look older and you’ll get a pretty good idea on what not to do in case you want to keep your youthful appearance for as long as possible

1. Katie Holmes


Is it just me or this girl had somehow aged overnight? Seriously ladies – she was all cute and teeny than almost disappeared for a couple of months only to return looking like a mess (and I don’t mean the hot one). I could never ever believe youthful-looking Katie will end up being one of those celebrities that look older than their ID suggests but she proved me wrong.

2. Lindsay Lohan


Okay, so Lindsay is my age which makes her…umm… 25! Now, I certainly can’t say I’m the youngest-looking girl you’ll ever see and I certainly don’t dress teeny but darn it, I look 25 with or without makeup on! LiLo, in the other hand, has all the money she could ask for but chooses to spend it in all the wrong ways and, well, all that partying, drug and alcohol abuse and fake tan had to show up somehow and although I’m not blaming it entirely on her, I do believe she could have chosen a different path. Even plastic surgeons agree on this, saying Lindsay’s damaged skin makes her appear at least 15 years older!

3. Heidi Montag


Am I the only one who thinks Heidi was really beautiful BEFORE her countless plastic surgeries? Too bad she didn’t think so, she wouldn’t have wasted all that cash or winded up on my list (and God knows how many other lists) of celebrities that look older than they really are. Oh, well, like Heidi Montag cares what people say, think or write about her! But, wait, you never know – maybe she has actually made a smart move. You know how leather specialists always say you should keep your Chanel bags stuffed to keep their shape? Well, giving the amount of “stuffing” Heidi has, I doubt she’ll ever learn what wrinkles are.

4. Miley Cyrus


Well, I don’t really have to reinvent the wheel with this one because Miley herself said a shop assistant was trying to sell her anti-wrinkle cream believing she’s 40 and something. Poor woman had mistaken Miley’s bodyguard for her husband, she also thought the girl with Miley is her daughter (when she’s in fact her sister) and, like this was not enough, she also tried to compliment teen celebrity saying she’s holding up quite nicely for her age! Kids certainly grow fast these days, huh?

5. Pippa Middleton


Speaking about anti-wrinkle cream – here’s one lady that, according to many people, needs one badly. Now, if all of those “haters” were women, I could definitely call it a “jealous rant” and let it go but since many of the comments regarding her not-so-youthful appearance came from men (who, despite everything still love her famous backside), I can’t help but wonder – can being 28 and sporting wrinkles place Pippa in the group of celebrities that look older or group of celebrities who wish good genes were for sale?

6. Beyonce


Popular, talented, glamorous, happy and with a baby on the way – Beyonce certainly has every reason to be thirty and proud of it! Being her fabulous self, however, won’t get her off my list of celebrities that look older and, although I really admire her for her looks, talent and style, I must admit she hasn’t changed significantly in the last 5 or so years. In fact, Honey B started looking 30ish the moment she left Destiny’s Child and started a solo career! Lesson learned, B, now enjoy your life and take it easy girl – I don’t want to wake up the next morning and see you looking 40ish!

7. Lady Gaga


Can you guess Gaga’s age? Early 30’s maybe? Guess again! Gaga is only 25! Promise not to laugh now as I’m about to reveal something that may seem silly. You see, I had NO idea how old is she, I’ve learned this three days ago and man , I’m still shocked! I could have sworn she’s 30!

8. Fergie


This foxy lady is 36 or, that’s what she says. Now, looking at her body only you could never guess that but once you take a look at her face, you’ll soon realize telling her she looks 36 is actually a huge compliment. Some believe Fergie has been tampering with her birth certificate and she claims she has her former crystal meth addiction to “thank” for that terrible skin. What do you think?
Now, don’t think I’m jealous girls, in fact I must point out that these ladies didn’t end up on my list of celebrities who look older because they are old or bad-looking but simply because of that “WOW” people tend to scream out whenever they find out how old these gals really are. So, what do you have to say about this? Any other celebrities that look older to suggest maybe?

9 Ways to Get a Guy to Commit …


Although it might not seem like it all the time, there are many ways to get a guy to commit. You can’t be sneaky or sly, because that’s no way to build a long lasting relationship. All the same, there are many things you can do to get your man to commit to you, as long as those things are founded in love, respect, and honesty. To get an idea of what you can do to strengthen and prolong your relationship, check out the following ways to get a guy to commit to you!



1. Avoid Exclusivity

Often, the best way to get a guy to commit is not to try too hard. Forcing him to be exclusive too soon can send him running fast in the other direction. Instead, many relationship experts say that it’s better to wait to be totally exclusive until the two of you are ready for a more permanent commitment. Making him feel like you’re pushing him toward marriage too soon, however, can really terrify a guy.

2. Don’t Try too Hard

Trying too hard is never a good idea. To this end, you don’t want to act like a girlfriend. I know that sounds crazy, but the thing is that when you act like you’re just a girlfriend, that’s all you’re ever going to be – plus you’re pushing the exclusivity issue. If you’re fine with that kind of relationship, that’s great, but if you’re looking for a longer commitment, you have to act accordingly.

3. Date Around

As you can see, a lot of these issues come down to being exclusive. How will dating other men make him want to commit? For one thing, it will affect your attitude. You won’t feel the same kind of pressure that surrounds you when you’re solely focused on one guy. You’ll be able to see what’s out there, he will be too – and he may realize he doesn’t want you to be with anyone but him.

4. Voice Your Wants

Letting him know what you want is an important way to get a guy to commit. He can’t read your mind; if he doesn’t know what you want, how can he give it to you? As well, letting him know that you want a long term relationship, that you want something casual, or that you’re looking to get married and have children, will make sure you’re both on the same page (or not) from the start.

5. Be Honest about Your Feelings

This is a little different from #4, but it’s in the same ballpark. You can’t get a guy to commit if you aren’t honest. Even if he commits at first, the relationship won’t be based on truth. Don’t lie and say you want something casual if you don’t, and don’t try to be a person you think he wants to make him give you a commitment.

6. Expose Your Vulnerabilities

Committing himself to just one woman requires a man to expose his vulnerable side, and that can be hard. In fact, that’s difficult no matter what your gender. You can help your guy by sharing your vulnerabilities as well, such as your fears and all your hopes for the future.

7. Be Receptive

You have to be willing to accept your man’s commitment. More importantly, you have to be receptive to his love for you. If you can’t receive or respond to his love, then he won’t feel comfortable making a commitment to you.

8. Don’t Push Labels

If the two of you are committed to one another, sometimes that has to be enough. Labels are often far more problematic than they’re actually worth. In line with not being his girlfriend, a good way to get a guy to commit to you is to let go of the labels. Just love each other and let it be.

9. Let Him Be Himself

Perhaps the most important way to get your man to commit to you is to let him be himself. Don’t force him into a pigeonhole. You have to accept him for who he is and he has to know that. If all you want to do is change him, then you’re better off with someone who already has the characteristics you want.
As you can see, there are lots of ways to get a guy to commit to your relationship. Being underhanded never works in the long run, but as long as you’re honest about your feelings and the things you want, you’ll be golden! How did you get the love of your life to make a commitment?

7 Vintage Pieces that Make Great Photography Props …

Photography is a passion of mine. I love to take a memory or a thing of passing beauty and preserve it for years to come with the help of my camera. Lately, I’ve been building up some clients to make a side business out of my passion. I’m finding some great vintage pieces that make for beautiful imagery in photos. Here are 7 vintage pieces that make great photography props for you to have fun with as well!




1. Wash Pans

Years ago, wash pans were used by your great grandmother to wash clothes and even do things like canning pickles in. I have a set that my grandmother gave me that belonged to her grandmother, and let me tell you, they make perfect baby picture props! When you have a child old enough to sit in a bowl of water and have fun, take them outside with your wash pan and a rubber ducky and set the mood for some beautiful pictures to hang on the wall! And just think, if you have some that belonged to family members, not only are you creating good imagery, you’re also creating an heirloom keepsake!

2. Suitcase

The older the suitcase, the better! Even better is an old suitcase with the old travel stickers all over it. These too, make wonderful props for babies and small children. They make the perfect bedding area for an infant and a couple suitcases stacked up make a great place to seat a toddler for a cute, pouty picture. I’ve seen one done with a boy in overalls and an engineer hat, sitting on a stack of suitcases beside the tracks that was incredibly cute!

3. Pearls & Hats

What better way to take dress up pictures than with vintage necklaces and hats? Your little princess is sure to steal the show come picture time with accessories like this! Throw in a pair of cat eye glasses and you’re set! These kind of props also work well with mirror images. It just takes a lot of practice to get them at the perfect angle.

4. Cameras

I’ve found many people playing around with pictures using vintage cameras as props. Using a vintage camera in photography props would be a great idea for young couples or wedding pictures. There is something so great about an image of two lovebirds out in the field with one taking a picture of the other. Although this idea can be used with even modern cameras and iPhones, it adds some spice to a photo when there is a big, old camera to play with.

5. “Notebook” Dresses

There is a style of vintage dress that is associated now with the well-known movie, “The Notebook.” The 40′s sports a style that has been loved and will continue to be for years to come. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on some pieces like this, they make great pictures, especially engagement shoots for the couple who “wants something a little different.” A photographer friend of mine actually done the entire shoot based on the movie, complete with kissing in the rain pictures! The red dress with white dots was something that set the mood for the shoot, and let me tell you, it was amazing! www.unique-vintage.com is a great website to find vintage style clothing at!

6. Vintage Furniture

Take an old couch or high back chair and park it in the middle of a field, covered in wild flowers, and you have the makings for an awesome shoot! Grab a girl, dress her up, let her toss her legs over the side of the chair, heels dangling off her feet, and all your shoot needs is you and a camera! I like using things like this for teenage girls. This setup also works great for senior pictures for the girl who is into dressing up. The catch to making these pictures fabulous is finding a great location and making sure you’ve chosen a good time of day. Avoid mid-day as the lighting is too harsh. I think the best time for this type of shoot would be evening to sunset. (You can also grab your pearls, hats and cat eye glasses to add even more spice to this awesome mixture!

7. Hatboxes

Here is yet another idea for classy, vintage, baby pictures. Think “pink and frilly.” Grab some hatboxes, ribbons and lace and your precious baby girl, head to a window, where you’ll get lots of natural light, and set up! These are best done when baby is good and asleep. Her little naked butt sticking up is something make make these really cute, but if you’re not into the naked butt thing, at lease use a cloth diaper rather than disposable. You can spice this up a bit more with some pearls falling out of the box as well.

8. Carriage

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a vintage baby carriage, take advantage of it! You’ve got the makings for some beautiful pictures, as long as you can find a baby to put in it! These also make good props for young girls, as you can stage them playing “grown-up” with their doll and the carriage. Either way, do use this if you have one! And if you don’t want it, you can sure send it my way!

The ideas and creativity is endless when you have the props and location to take great pictures! I do hope that I was able to inspire your creativity with these 7 vintage pieces that make great photography props and if you have any more prop ideas, I would love to have you leave a comment! Who knows? You might give me a new idea!

7 Worst Gifts to Give your Husband …


There are all sorts of husbands, nice ones, naughty ones and nasty ones. Any kind has one unmistakably manly trait; they don’t really care about presents, giving or getting. Wives are usually particularly sensitive towards the idea of gifting in general. Having said that women can be rather stupid when it comes to choosing gifts for their husbands! So here are the 7 worst gifts to give to your husband – if any one of these made it to your list of “possible gifts for your anniversary, you know what to do. Cut it out as soon as you can and go back to brainstorming some ideas, hopefully better ones this time.


1. Pets

Your man may be a great animal lover and PETA supporter. But come on, giving him an animal simply adds to his already heavy burden of responsibilities. Loving animals and having one to look after full time are two very different things so don’t try and spring a surprise unless you know he’s ready for it. Also consider that pet care might eventually become one of your chores. I rest my case!

2. Hand-knitted Sweaters

Okay so you have recently taken up knitting. Desist from taking it out in the form of a sweater for your husband. Believe me, men do not croon over fluffy hand knitted sweaters, made worse if they have corny messages on them. A nice husband may appear delighted because of the effort that went into it, but they do not like sweaters. Period.

3. Celine Dion Music

You might be an odd one who is in love with the music of Celine Dion. Men were not, are not and will never be into her music. So don’t go out of your way to put together specially mixed CD of Dion tracks. That gift is going to sit at the bottom of a drawer in his tool shed and is therefore one of the worst gifts to give to your husband.

4. Clothes/Shoes that don’t Fit

Nothings says “you are quite insignificant” more than clothes and shoes that are simply not his size. Come on, you are married to him for goodness sake! How can you not know his size? He is simply not going to bother exchanging such gifts and it will be some time before you can live that down. Badly fitting clothes are definitely one of the worst gifts to give to your husband.

5. The Mangroomer

The Mangroomer is a fairly recent tool for grooming the man(ly). It helps men do away with hair on their backs without anybody’s assistance. Seriously now, why women would want a spouse with a smooth shiny back is beyond me. But whether women want it or not, almost all men hate the bizarre gadget. For centuries now men have been happy with the state of their backs and they see no reason to change that in this century.

6. You in a Frame

If you are actually planning to put a picture of you in a frame and gift wrap it as a surprise for hubby dear, you really need to get over yourself. He may be the most loving husband but he sees you every day, and there is nothing wrong if he wishes not to sometimes. Unless, the photo is something on the lines of eroticism…then you are talking about something absolutely different.

7. Gift Certificates

Another one of those worst gifts to give your husband is a gift certificate. These excuses for presents are meant for people we don’t really know very well. But getting one for your husband is a crime almost. Besides being totally impersonal, it is a very “husbandy” thing to do, don’t you think. Also, knowing how men think, he will probably forget about its existence and end up using it to buy you a gift.
Women are lovely sensitive creatures; we put a lot of thought into everything we do. So why slip up when it comes to gifting the men in our lives? Steer clear of these seven worst gifts to give to your husband, and you will never go wrong. We, after all, have an image to preserve, don’t we?

8 Clothes to Not Wear on a First Date …


Planning your wardrobe for a first date is frustrating, even a little scary. You want to make a good impression, and in your desire to do so, it’s not uncommon to choose clothing that you really shouldn’t be wearing. I know that, back when I was still going on first dates, I’d make bad decisions, like going with something too formal or something I thought was flattering, that really wasn’t. If you’ve suffered through fashion foibles like this as well, check out all the clothes to not wear on a first date.


1. Shirts with Messages

Photo Credit: gwgfan
Of all the clothes to not wear on a first date, shirts – especially tee shirts – with messages on them are probably the first verboten choice. Whether it’s a funny message or a political message, you want to avoid advertising either your beliefs or your sense of humor on your clothing. Later, with someone you’re seeing regularly, this is acceptable. On a first date, however, when you don’t know the other person’s humor or political leanings, you can make a bad impression at best, and even start an argument at worst.

2. Revealing Attire

Revealing clothing is also a bad idea on a first date. You don’t have to dress like a stodgy Victorian or like a Puritan, but you’re going to want to avoid anything too low cut. Likewise, steer clear of fishnets, extreme mini skirts, and things like that. You want to make a good impression, and if your outfit’s too revealing, it’s going to send out the wrong messages.

3. Daring New Trends

I don’t mean that you can’t be trendy on a first date, not by any means. However, this definitely isn’t the time to try out some extreme new trend, especially if you’ve never before worn it (although I’ll expand on that point in a minute). The rule of thumb concerning clothes to not wear on a first date is that you need to be sure it looks good first.

4. Lingerie

Photo Credit: amazon.com
Obviously, you can wear lingerie under your clothes – that’s what it’s made for, after all! However, wearing visible garters, bustiers, and things like that, as your outfit, well … those aren’t the greatest pieces. The first time you go out with someone, remember, you do want to make the best impression. This kind of clothing, again, can send out the wrong signal.

5. Risque Shoes

Photo Credit: estherlke.blogspot.com
There are also certain kinds of shoes you just shouldn’t wear your first time out with someone new, beginning with really risque heels. You don’t want to wear six inch stilettos or clear heels. For one thing, you’re going to be incredibly uncomfortable, especially if you have to do any walking. For another thing, these are yet more items that can give a guy the wrong idea.

6. Sandals with Socks

I cop to occasionally wearing sandals with socks when I’m just hanging out or something, or if my jeans will cover up my sins. On a first date, however, avoid this look at all costs. It can be a comfortable combination, but so often, what feels comfortable actually comes off as dorky … and this is one of those instances.

7. Anything You Haven’t Tried On

Photo Credit: xenavintage
Concerning clothes to not wear on a first date, you definitely don’t want to wear anything you’ve never worn before. That doesn’t mean you can’t go out and buy a new outfit. However, make sure you’ve not only tried it on, but wear it around your house beforehand. Vacuum the house in your new threads, or something, and model the outfit in front of your friends. Make sure it looks all right, and that you’re comfortable. In fact, that brings us to–

8. Ill-Fitting Clothing

Those skinny jeans, that tight fitted shirt, or that new, tight skirt might look really good on the hanger, but that doesn’t mean they’ll look good on you. If there’s any chance of buttons popping, zippers falling open, or fabric ripping, keep that article of clothing in the closet. Whether it’s too big or too tight, it’s not for tonight.
There aren’t really a lot of clothes not to wear on a first date, it’s more about using good judgment and common sense. There are certain articles of clothing that simply shouldn’t be worn when you’re first getting to know someone – or at all. What’s your idea of an ideal first date outfit?
