As news reports grow increasingly distressing, here's where to get your fix of joy and inspiration

How many times during a normal day do you find yourself taking a pause to scroll your favourite internet destinations&nbsp;for a much-needed mental break? Take that same scenario, put it at the centre of a global health crisis&nbsp;that requires almost everyone to stay at home for the foreseeable future, and the need for some positive vibes is more imperative than ever.&nbsp;

But&nbsp;our news and Twitter feeds, as well as email inboxes, are saturated more than ever with disheartening&nbsp;updates on the state of the world. So where do we turn for some much-needed positive vibes during an often emotionally draining time?

There is definitely no shortage of captivating dog accounts on Instagram (bless). But there are your typical&nbsp;accounts, and then there is canine style icon Boobie Billie. The fashionable&nbsp;chihuahua&nbsp;is all but shy about her social status (her Instagram bio reads&nbsp;&quot;I am my own woman&quot;), and she puts together some of the most detailed,&nbsp;fabulous outfits out there. Down to shoes and accessories, each bright outfit is perfectly coordinated, and Boobie&#39;s poised modeling skills only increase the good vibes.&nbsp;Each photo, seemingly cuter than last, has us wondering if her wardrobe comes in human sizes,&nbsp;but if you have your own fashionable canine, you may just be in luck.

&quot;I cannot go out with my Susan Alexandra bag without getting tons of compliments&quot; is a common piece of feedback to accessories designer Susan Korn, best known to&nbsp;her multitudes&nbsp;of customers as Susan Alexandra. The designer&nbsp;began creating her signature colourful creations on the side, as an escape&nbsp;while working a different&nbsp;job that left her feeling all but creative. Taking inspiration from profound and unexpected sources, Korn&#39;s ability to produce products that bring out her clientele&#39;s&nbsp;inner child&nbsp;while honing a talent for storytelling&nbsp;has fostered much more than a wildly successful customer base. Fans of Susan Alexandra have formed a true community around the designer, her aesthetic, and her beloved chihuahua, Pigeon, keeping the positive vibes going in all directions.

Benito Skinner, aka Benny Drama,&nbsp;has gained cult following with his uncanny ability to rule the internet. Fans know him best for creations like skits about Keeping Up With the Kardashians&nbsp;(where he impersonates every character), monthly astrology episodes&nbsp;in which&nbsp;he acts out each star sign, and impressions of songstress Lana Del Rey. Skinner&#39;s genius seems to lie in his talent in&nbsp;personifying the&nbsp;intricacies of being a millennial while simultaneously forcing his own generation to laugh at themselves.

At first glance at one of Nicole McLaughlin&#39;s creations, you first wonder how it&#39;s done before asking, &quot;Can I eat that?&quot;&nbsp;The artist&nbsp;uses unconventional&nbsp;and often edible materials to make clothes like vests, shorts and shoes, and the result is utterly mesmerising. You may recognise her work from a highly reposted image of her baguette vest, or perhaps from her gummy bear shorts, but&nbsp;one thing is for sure: McLaughlin&nbsp;is definitely the queen of multi-functional&nbsp;fashion.

One simply cannot keep a straight face while watching&nbsp;Rickey Thompson&#39;s videos. The 24-year-old internet personality and comedian says his goal is to make people feel happy while viewing his content, and his humour has&nbsp;brought him much success. With his lighthearted&nbsp;but fully committed dancing videos, Thompson&nbsp;knows how to add just the right amount of silliness, while his pep-talk videos are just as&nbsp;uplifting. With over 5 million followers and counting, as well as&nbsp;a slew of media awards, it seems that Thompson has found the perfect recipe for brightening spirits&nbsp;all around the world.

Amidst the sea of neutral fashion feeds that populate&nbsp;Instagram, wearing black doesn&#39;t seem to be an option for Copenhagen-based influencer Anne Johannsen. Her affinity for dressing in head-to-toe pastels&nbsp;has&nbsp;inspired&nbsp;her audience&nbsp;to take new risks with their own wardrobes. But whether you want to add more colour to your&nbsp;life or keep wearing black while admiring the positive vibes from afar,&nbsp;scrolling through Johanssen&#39;s&nbsp;never-ending collection of multi-coloured interiors and bright outfits will make her a rewarding follow for lots of time to come.

Cats can be the underrated counterparts to dogs on social media, and for that reason, we definitely could not leave our feline friends off&nbsp;this list. Just as fashionable as Boobie Billie, Zappa The Cat emanates positive vibes with her colourful sunglasses and luxe hoodies. The stylish Netherlands-based kitty also takes a realistic approach, as she repeats&nbsp;her exceptional outfits from time to time.

A local hero in New York,&nbsp;the Green Lady of Brooklyn has been dedicating her life and Instagram account to full-on lime green outfits since&nbsp;as early as 2017 (her first recorded&nbsp;post). Her posts are filled with local fans&nbsp;who stop her on the street&nbsp;to snap&nbsp;a picture with her and share how much her outfits bring them joy. Showing off her green hair and love of gardening, each selfie&nbsp;the Green Lady takes&nbsp;with fellow&nbsp;city residents resembles a celebrity sighting, as all parties sport&nbsp;ear-to-ear smiles.&nbsp;
