Malenda
And there he was - a bare beast with taloned, varmint hands clawing at this young girl. Why, she was only 3 years of age. Her folds of fat, waiting to become longer limbs. Her teeth longing for a home in the crevices of that child's mouth, impatiently hoping to some day learn the word: Help.

How To Be Happy.
Emily Dickinson was a 19th century female poet of the most wonderful kind. She lived in accordance with her own doctrines, a rare thing for any human. She delved into the depths of her ocean-like mind to find her own truths, and perceptions, of the world around her. She found happiness in herself, in her own company - a thing which so many of us struggle to do in a media obsessed world. So, without further introduction, let us follow her guide to a realisation of divine joy.

Thrift - don't shop lift.
So, you are going out to a party tonight, and guess what the theme is...1980s. Excellent. Just perfect. What with my 9-5 job and all requiring me to always have a handy stash of fluro coloured, denim themed outfits. I don't know about you, but it is a rare occasion that I wear a bright yellow jacket to work, or to a casual lunch with friends. I do not want to waste money on buying an item I will (most likely) never wear again. Moreover, I certainly to not want to throw this item of clothing in the bin the day after the party. Thankfully, I had stumbled on Depop (thanks to my very kind friend, Emma), and found fabulous, sustainably sourced clothes at excellent prices.

Ways to help yourself.
Did type your life problem into google? Don’t worry, I do that too. In fact, I think everyone has at some point. Something catastrophic happens, and we can’t see an immediate solution. So, who do we turn to? Your family might be overseas, and your best friend is having troubles of their own. Who is left? Well, google. So here I am - Miss Internet, coming to you from cyberspace, offering you a few brief words which will hopefully cheer you up, and get up, out of the small hole you dug in the closest bingable sugar product.

The Best Way to Exercise (When you are stuck at home)
I can not touch my toes, nor am I particularly agile in any way, shape or form. In an alternate universe, where we all have supernatural powers, I can promise you - sport would remain a mystery to me. Dancing like a lunatic, however, comes incredibly naturally. Whether I am doing a starfish style of jump to a syncopated rhythm or waltzing like the woman in Shall We Dance (or at least trying too), dancing is quite honestly, the only form of physical exercise that makes me believe I have arms that can hold gravity, legs that can swim in the wild air, and a body that enjoys living on earth.
