Smile!

What is the most important accessory? A smile! Everyone knows (and if you didn't, now you do!) that a smile will make you instantly more attractive. These are just some cool facts that I have copied and pasted from around the web. Don't worry! If you want want to see the complete lists from these websites (and to avoid plagiarism) all the links will be put at the bottom.

A smile is one of the most used human facial expressions. Smiles can use between 5 to all 53 muscles.

Smiling releases endorphins and makes us feel better, even when you fake a smile you can feel better. A smile can not only heighten your mood it can even boost your immune system. It works as a natural drug.


A person that smiles more is deemed to be more pleasant, sincere, attractive and more sociable then a on-smiling person. It is even suggested that a person who smiles more are more likely to get a promotion.


Though babies learn a lot of behaviors from intently watching people around them, we are actually born with the ability to smile, it is not something that we copy. For instance, even blind babies are able to smile.

Smiles are contagious: It’s not just a saying: smiling really is contagious, scientists say. In a study conducted in Sweden, people had difficulty frowning when they looked at other subjects who were smiling, and their muscles twitched into smiles all on their own.

It’s a universal sign of happiness: While hand shakes, hugs, and bows all have varying meanings across cultures, smiling is known around the world and in all cultures as a sign of happiness and acceptance.

And my all time favorite:

Smiles are more attractive than makeup: A research study conducted by Orbit Complete discovered that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup.

So just keep remembering to smile, its really easy and has all these great side-affects!

Sleeping Beauty

No, not that sleeping beauty. I mean beauty tips for when you sleep!

 1. Before you sleep.

Whenever you are going to go to bed its always a good idea to get into good habits. Always brush your teeth, good dental care is always a good idea. Second is to go to the bathroom right before you get into bed. When you don't have to get up in the middle of night you have a longer time spent in REM sleep which is when your system reboots and all that good sleep stuff happens. Then make sure to wash and treat your face an all that good stuff. Get ALL makeup off! Also avoid eating a few hours before you sleep because sleeping doesn't burn many calories and all tht food will go straight to fat. Exrosizes 1/2 hour before you sleep to gain son muscle and to help you sleep better!

 2. While you sleep

Avoid waking up in the middle of the night, like said above. Also change your sheets often, especially your pillowcase. Oils from your skin get on the pillowcase and after you sleep on it night after night it can cause acne! Also sleep with your hair up! The oils in your hair can also give you acne if you keep sleeping on it, bu don't put it in a tight hairdo as to avoid putting stress on the hair follicles.

 3. Wake up and continue with your morning routine. Don't forget to have a nice day!
