EDITORS' NOTE

Happy Tuesday! 

In honor of Mental Health Wellness Week which is next week (kinda confusing timing but, what the hey!), we decided to make this week's theme, 'Happy Place'.

Your happy place, my happy place, and everyone else's happy place are entirely different from each other. This week is meant to showcase all of the different ways people search for happiness, find happiness, or make happiness from nothing. Is happiness really a place? Does happiness come from your actions? Or is happiness just a state of mind that you create for yourself?

Whatever happiness is for you, we hope you enjoy this week's tips, tricks and stories on being sad, being happy and finding the light at the end of the tunnel.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN

Halloween is a time to celebrate the dead and appreciate all things spooky. It’s a day (and night) of fun, food and, dressing up. It gives you a chance to be someone, or something, else.

Sadly in Australia, Halloween isn’t that big of a deal. I wish we celebrated it more but, aside from the few children trick-or-treating and the Halloween themed parties that’s about as “Halloweenish” as it gets. I personally love Halloween because it’s one time of the year where you can be anything you want. You can take on a new persona and nobody will care. It’s like a masquerade ball where you can be anyone behind your new identity, your mask, except you can quite literally transform yourself. Halloween is a time where if you are quiet and shy you can become confident and bold, you can stay the same or become someone new; it’s entirely up to you. Halloween makes me feel powerful. It gives me a boost of confidence and a feeling of invincibility; I can do anything, be bold and take risks. Australia, why can’t you love Halloween as much as I do?

In appreciation for this wonderful day: here are my tips, tricks, and ideas for having a spooktacular Halloween.
