Ever since the Spice Girls came out, I’ve been called Scary Spice (probably because I was obsessed with them!). I knew ALL of their songs, birthdays, and every other detail that was published about them (I know what you’re thinking, Ridiculous! . . . I am with you on that haha!).

So every year I try to come up with a unique costume idea. Rather than spending $30-$50 on a store bought costume, I try to think of things I either already had or could use after Halloween.
