Having a rubbish week? Us too. Sitting inside when it's oh-so-lovely outside doesn't exactly inspire the chipper disposition such weather deserves. Our solution? Same as it ever is. Plan a big fun party. This week, in honour of International Happiness Day, here's a guide to having the cheeriest gathering ever.** **

The Drink

Pina Colada? Yes please. It might be considered a little passe but really – is any drink that’s going to come with those little cocktail umbrellas ever going to be a bad thing? Here’s the recipe.

The Food

Reverting back to kids' food never fails to put a smile on our face. We especially enjoyed this dinosaur pasta bake one Debriefer’s housemate made her after a particularly shocking day. Simply follow this recipe for a standard pasta bake, steam some broccoli, cook some dinosaur chicken nuggets and stick ‘em on the top to create a Jurassic Park themed dinner. Plus, all that broccoli probably cancels out the cheese right?

The Playlist

Smile-inducing. Guaranteed.** **
