Smile! It will make you healthier and happier.

I had braces from fifth grade to ninth grade. So you better believe that when those babies came off I was a grinning fool! I've always loved smiling, I mean, who doesn't? It's such a great way to express happiness and just makes you feel confident. 

And you know what's awesome? Smiling has TONS of scientifically proven advantages! 

Smiling: 

Makes you look younger

Relieves stress

Boosts your immune system

Releases endorphins in you brain

And according to Ron Gutman, smiling can be as stimulating as 2,000 bars of chocolate!
