Horror isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but a spooky atmosphere has a way of bewitching even the jumpiest of scaredy cats. Perhaps it’s because Halloween season offers the best of both worlds: temperatures that are crisp, yet not too cold; sidewalks peppered with fallen leaves, yet trees still wearing their burnt hues; and festivities leading up to October 31, yet knowing even once it’s passed, there’s plenty of holiday fun still left ahead.

Mini Getty Images The name says it all with this one. Mini twists are tiny, individual twists that are made using only your own natural hair. “Mini twists are made by twisting small sections of natural hair without adding extensions,” Taylor says. “They are lightweight, versatile, and work well for easy updos.” “This style is best suited for medium to coarse hair textures,” Nolan says, emphasizing that it’s particularly ideal for those with a busy, on-the-go life and don’t have time to add extensions.

For most women, morning sickness during pregnancy is simply a part of the baby making process, much like choosing the perfect name and readying that beautiful nursery, and yet it is only recently that scientists have been able to pinpoint the potential cause.
