Turn That Frown Upside Down

Just for today, try to smile a little more for no good reason.

Okay, since you insist, here’s one good reason.

Studies show that smiling activates parts of the brain that make you happy, so the very act of smiling can leave you feeling better (even better than getting botox injections, according to the article below, although I’m sure that’s hard to imagine).

Here’s another one:

And as an added bonus, it helps prevent lip wrinkles too.

This was me before botox. Good hair day, though.

I don’t know about you, but I feel better already!
