Have you thought about what Halloween costume to get for your baby? Here are some cute and inexpensive ideas for baby costumes. We know not everyone has the time (and the many assistants) that Martha Stewart has, so these costumes are designed to be E-A-S-Y to create.
* Strawberry: Dress your little one all in red. Red socks, shirt and pants. Place a green cap on her head and you're set to go. If you're feeling especially artistic, you can make a leaf or two out of green felt and attach it to the hat by sewing it or by using a safety pin or two.
(We know you're busy, so you might not have time to sew!)
* Leopard: It's fairly easy to find pants in leopard print for children. If you're on a budget, you can even visit a thrift store and find pants like these. Put your child in a leopard top, too, if you can find one. Put him in a black top if you can't. You can buy some inexpensive cat ears anywhere costumes are sold and voila! You'll have a little leopard on your hands.
* Pumpkin: Little ones look adorable dressed as pumpkins.
Wouldn't you love to see the round, smooth face of your baby peering out from a pumpkin costume? You can make one by dressing your baby in orange. Cut out triangles for a nose and eyes and then cut out a crescent shape for the mouth. Either sew the nose, eyes and mouth onto the orange shirt or use safety pins (you can put the safety pins in from the back so they won't be very visible). A green cap for the stem is a wonderful addition to this costume.
* The Cutest Witch Ever: Although you can buy these costumes all over, this one is so easy to put together. Get a small pointy black hat.
Dress your little girl in a black dress with striped or wild-colored tights (for fun!). That is all there is to it.
* A Cowboy or Cowgirl: Lasso up your young one for Halloween! Dress them in a cowboy hat, plaid shirt, jeans, and boots. If you can get ahold of a vest and a sheriff's badge so much the better to convey the idea of the American West.
Choosing a costume can be so much fun. If you want to explore more budget-friendly ideas, visit a thrift store or a child consignment shop and see what they have in stock. As with baby clothes, the costumes are barely worn, yet you end up getting them more than 50% off the 'new' price.

(ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) May 18, 2006 -- A college student has come up with a way to revolutionize a million dollar concept and in the process save people millions of dollars per year.When prospective British college student Alex Tew created the Million Dollar Home Page, no one thought it would catch on like it did. Even Tew was shocked by its rocket-like rise in popularity. Now an American college student has found a way to one-up Tew by creating a site that could dwarf the Million Dollar Homepage in its popularity and earnings.Called the 10 Million Dollar Savings Page, http://www.10MillionDollarSavingsPage.com, it aims to at least double what Tew made from the Million Dollar Homepage by creating a site that is truly useful to its visitors. As its name implies, the site will attempt to save people over $10,000,000 per year and in the process, generate at...

The Truth About Body Image
Have you ever considered how much your body image
- your personal packaging, contributes to your
business and personal success?
The multi million pound cosmetics industry is acutely aware
of the value of packaging. You'll know this if you've ever
bought anything from those glamorous ladies whose counters
are always just inside the front door of Department Stores.
However, from time to time we're presented with surveys
about the creams we rub on our bodies which take years off
our age and make our skin as soft as a baby's bottie. The
surveys tell us "Buy the cheap stuff or the own label one
from the supermarket, 'cause they're all the same."
But do we? Of course we don't. Human beings are driven by
emotions not logic and never more so when spending their
money.
People buy with their eyes, we love packaging. The
marketing and merchandising...
