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!

Remember, keep smiling! 

Just for Fun Friday--Wedding Edition!

Why is it so fun to get dressed up? I really wish I had an excuse every week to put on a pretty dress. My writer's group decided to all dress up in wedding gowns and that was the inspiration behind this post. I thought if I was going to wear the white dress, I might as well do wedding hair and makeup! 

I love braids with loose curls, and these ringlets are really easy. You can find out how to do them here. 

It was kind of fun. I explained the look a little more in the video below. Now...to think of my next excuse to dress up...

A Vision of Pink

Can you tell that I absolutely adore dressing up this little one? Kenzie is such a girly girl, like her mamma ;) So I recently checked out some of the deals going on for back to school shopping, and I wanted to share some of my favorite steals. A&E has the cutest tees for $10, and scarves for $14-20. Also, Gap has jeans from $25.00! Click the links below to see the deal and more styles. Happy Shopping!
