Happiness, a healthy recipe for the skin

Flashing a smile does not take much effort. Aside from being gracious and friendly, you are actually spreading good cheer.

But we can always choose to lighten the load by looking at the bright side, or taking a deep breath to and allow the entry of positive vibes.

Every time we receive good news or we feel excited the brain releases these happy hormones into the nervous system bringing out infectious giggles and laughter. This simply means that happiness can be found around the corner. We don’t have to wait for good news or thrilling events to happen. With a little bit of freedom and creativity, we are capable of experiencing happiness.
