Problem: Article: Create a unicorn costume with a tank top, headband and a tulle skirt. Repurpose an old tank top in a bright or pastel color. Buy about 2 yards of tulle in a preferred color. You'll also need a length of elastic to go around your waist, a headband, rhinestones, and a glue gun. Assemble rhinestones on your tank top along the neckline and extending downward in a V pattern. Use a hot glue gun to attach the rhinestones to the tank top. Measure a piece of elastic to fit around your waist comfortably. Sew the two ends together so that it makes a circle. Cut lengths of tulle that will be twice as long as your desired skirt length. Fold each strip of tulle in half. Tie these strips onto the elastic circle. The more strips you add to the elastic, the fuller and fluffier the skirt will be. Cut a large triangle out of felt. Wrap it into a cone shape and glue the cone closed. Attach this cone to a headband using a hot glue gun. You can also use a cone-shaped piece of foam, available from a craft supply store. Wrap tulle around the cone and glue in place with the hot glue gun. Wear some gold leggings and sandals to complete your outfit. Paint your nails to match your outfit.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Decorate your top. Make a tulle skirt. Make a unicorn headband. Complete the outfit.

Problem: Article: Commonly, people who report symptoms of depression lack pleasure or lack of interest in activities and/or loss of meaning.  The act of creating music allows you to take risks and experience yourself in a different way, while being supported in a therapeutic setting. Especially if you have a difficult time expressing yourself otherwise, you can experience moving emotions through playing music. Allow the music you create to have meaning to you. You can create a song specifically around the sadness you feel from losing a beloved pet, the struggle you experience after a career change, the longing of leaving something of value to you. Let those emotions and experiences guide your music as you play. When engaged in music, you allow yourself to relate differently. Instead of using words, you use emotion, tone, rhythm, and collaboration. Interacting and engaging through music allows you to express yourself when words may be difficult to find, but the emotion is not.  Working with a music therapist can help you connect more deeply with your emotions and work through them in a supportive environment. Notice how you feel when you play music. Do you feel present, focused on the moment, the music, and the feeling? These can be healing factors to depression. Music can be described as sound, which can be further reduced to vibration. Vibration therapy (called vibroacoustic therapy) uses low level vibrations that can be heard and felt  and applies them to the body. Vibroacoustic therapy works with the body in a way that allows the emotions and body to work more harmoniously together by stimulating different parts of the body through vibration. While still gaining momentum as a treatment option for depression, some studies have concluded positive responses to vibroacoustic therapy as a treatment approach to depression.  Vibroacoustic therapy also helps with chronic pain(such as fibromyalgia)  by lowering pain, increasing movement, and reducing medication dosage.  If you’re working with a music therapist, ask to play with vibration through drumming. Ask if vibroacoustic therapy is available. While many people know that exercise is a beneficial way to treat depression, even making movements and experiencing yourself as a physical being can be beneficial in treating depression.  The act of strumming a guitar, banging a drum, or moving a bow on a violin can trigger movements that can beneficially contribute to treating depression. The human body often reacts to music through the tapping of a foot, a head nod, or through clapping. Music helps you connect with your body and move naturally. It doesn’t matter whether you consider yourself a “good” singer or not, singing can help lift your mood and your thoughts and promote relaxation. Sing songs that you know and that put you in a good mood. Notice how you feel after a few minutes of singing; has your mood or thoughts shifted?  Sing in the shower, in the car, and around your house. Sing to your children, your pets, or your garden. Don’t be shy to sing, remember it’s good for you! Create a sing-along playlist to play whenever you feel stressed or down. Sing along and gauge how you feel afterward. If you’re working with a music therapist, ask to include singing with playing instruments. Even if you sing nonsense words, it’s okay to just use your voice. If you don’t know how to play an instrument, pick one up. After all, playing an instrument engages more parts of the brain than any other known activity.Spend a few moments each day playing the instrument and notice how you feel. Choose an instrument that brings you joy and pleasure; it can be as complex as a trumpet or as simple as a rattle. Don’t get overly ambitious in picking up a new instrument; this is supposed to be a fun experience, not a difficult or frustrating one. After all it’s not “working” an instrument, but “playing” one.
Summary: Create meaning through music. Relate to people and yourself differently. Explore vibration treatment. Get in touch with movement. Sing. Learn an instrument.

If you know you're going to be swimming a lot, bring multiple bathing suits with you. That way if one of your bathing suits is wet, you’ll have a dry one to change into. Bring comfortable shoes like sneakers, sandals, and flip flops for when you're relaxing during the day. Pack at least 1 pair of nicer shoes, like dress shoes, flats, or high heels, for evenings when you want to dress up. Some cruises have formal nights where everyone dresses up. You may also be required to wear formal attire to enter the nicer restaurants on the ship. If you know you’ll only be dressing up once or twice, one formal outfit should be enough. Pack a formal dress or suit. If the dress code is black tie or there’s going to be a black-tie event, pack a floor-length dress or a tuxedo.
