Female Halloween Costumes That Would Be Great For Any Halloween Party

Let's face it. Girls do want to have fun. But they want to have fun while looking glam. And with Halloween just around the corner, picking out the right Halloween costume can get tricky (yes, pun intended). After all, who wants to end up looking like a nasty old hag? Here are some ideas for female Halloween costumes that will put back the treat into the trick!

1. FAirytale

Instead of going as another Disney Princess, what better way to glitter and shine than to go as a beautiful fAiry instead! All you really need is a short, flowy Dress, some shiny eye-makeup and wings! You can buy small wings at the children's departMent in most malls or in toy stores. If you're the crafty type, you can even make a pair of wings on your own by using chicken wire and crepe paper and sequins.

If you're not into the whole glitter thing, why don't you consider going as a pixie? All you'll need is a short skirt, a midriff shirt and some gel to spike up your hair.

2. Alpha-Females

Nothing cranks up the power play better than Dressing up as your favorite alpha-female. You can get inspiration for this from everywhere: books, movies, cartoon characters. Into comics? Why don't you go as Wonder Woman? Loved Disney movies as a child, Dress up as that ultra-chic but ultra-evil Cruela De Ville.

3. Rockstar

Rockstars get all the fun. So, for Halloween, ditch the usual work Clothes you wear everyday for something rock-worthy. Why don't you go as Pink - complete with the cropped, neon hair (you can wear a wig) and piercings (you can use fake piercings as well). If you want something more feminine, dress up as Gwen Stefani with her blings and diamonds. You can even go as Avril Lavigne (pre-marriage) and wear a long, red wig; some cargo Pants and a shirt with a star logo.

4. Goddesses

And of course, what better way to get everyone saying "va-va-voom" than by dressing up as a Greek goddess. All you'll really need is a full-length, flowing, tube dress (a one-shouldered one will do too) and a belt. You can opt to put your hair up with loose tendrils framing your face or you can just let your locks loose in flowing waves. Accessorize with a bangle or two.

5. Book/Movie Characters

If you're into the whole sci-fi or fantasy thing, dress up as your favorite character. Can't get enough of Star Wars? Come as Princess Lea. Loved Lord of the Rings? You can go as an elf, or the elf herself: Arwen. If you're feeling whimsical, try going as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. Or as the intellectual and gorgeous Lois Lane? You can even get your special someone to go as Clark Kent/Superman.

There are hundreds of great costume ideas for Halloween. All you have to do is look around and be inspired. Don't stress too much about it though, the point is to have fun. And having fun is what matters.

Quiet Mowing With a Cordless Lawn Mower

A cordless lawn mower is powered by battery in most cases. They are known as cordless electric mowers and usually have 1 to 4 12 volt batteries which are rechargeable. The amount of time that you get out of the lawn mower, as well as its power output, will depend upon how many batteries it uses so you should check this before choosing a model to purchase.

Cordless lawn mowers that are electric are somewhat expensive, but in the long term you will save money as you are not buying gas. For example the Black and Decker 24 Volt Cordless Electric Mower costs around 0 and is powerful enough to mow up to 1/3 of an acre on one charge. This is suitable for just about all suburban blocks with time to spare. You can easily adjust the cutting height with a button so it doesn't matter what length your grass is.

The great benefit of a cordless lawn mower is that there is no smell, mess or noise. And you also don't have to worry about a cord, which so often gets in the way with the electric mowers that use a cable. The Black and Decker model actually uses a 24 volt sealed lead acid battery.

You can use this mower in two ways. Once is to use it as a regular mower by attaching a clipping bag to it. But it can also be used to mulch the grass thanks to the mulch plate. These extra parts are all included in the package. This versatility explains thee higher price TAG, but you are virtually getting two products in one with the Black and Decker cordless lawn mower.

There have been many positive reviews of this particular mower, at Amazon.com. A cordless mower will work just as well as a gas powered one.

A slightly more affordable choice is the Earthwise 24 Volt Cordless Electric 3-in-1 Lawn Mower that can cut grass up to 3.75 inches. It has 3 in 1 mulching and you can choose from a side discharge or a rear bag set up. You can buy this mower for around 0.
