“Your smile is your logo, your peronality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you becomes your trademark.“
Thanks for pinging this one up for me Spidey!
I’ve read this before and loved it.
When it comes to impressions, how we are with a person, how we present ourselves, really makes a difference.
Happy Sunday Peeps!

“You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.”
This, Spidey, just encapsulates what I am about.
I truly believe, and you will have heard read me say write this before, that pretty much everything can be turned around with a smile.
Sure, there are times when even the thought of turning the corners of your mouth upwards seem like an impossibility, but sooner or later you will be able to do it, and when you do, just feel the difference to your day.
When times are bad, sometimes a smile lightens your load.
A supportive smile can help another more than you know.
Smiling is good for your health. You can exercise a good few muscles, just by flashing a grin at a passerby – see, good feelings and calorie burning in one go!
Creativity is also meant to be affected by smiling.
A smile can help reduce stress.
Training yourself to smile actually trains your brain to react more positively rather than the natural instinct to take a negative stance.
Did you know smiles are contagious? If you smile at someone, something inside their brain wants to mirror you… just think, your smile could start a chain reaction of smilers all around you!
Stay positive 🙂
Happy Sunday Peeps!

“Be the reason someone smiles today.” – So many people out there have said this, and I love it! So no source, but go, do it, make someone smile!

“Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.” – Connor Franta
What a beautiful quote Spidey found to ponder upon today!
It’s amazing what a simple smile can do.
A random smile from even a stranger can light up a dark moment for you.
To be greeted with a smile makes for a more positive start to each day.
I smile.
A LOT.
It gets commented on a lot too.
I am known for my positivity wherever I go.
When I was at university, I was described as ” That smiley, curly haired girl from Birmingham.”
One of my previous employers said to me that it was a pleasure to have me around as he could guarantee a smile whenever he saw me.
I’m not talking about sneers or sarcastic smiles, or cheesy grins, just genuine smiles.
And I smile pretty much all the time. It’s just me. It makes me who I am. It makes me feel happier in myself, and makes me look at all situations with a more positive eye.
Of course, there are times smiles are not appropriate, and I know that too.
You won’t find me grinning inanely at a funeral or at some sad or bad news.
But otherwise, it is there, more or less permanently.
Of course, there are always those who can’t stand a happy face! (Why ever not? Surely it’s good to smile!)
But I refuse to allow them to drag me down to their miserable depths!
Don’t they know how many facial muscles I am exercising every time I smile?! It’s my daily workout!
Have a Smiley, happy Sunday Peeps!

“Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.” – Yoko Ono
Thanks for this one Spidey.
It’s a reminder I feel a heck of a lot of people I know could do with right now.
If you know me, you’ll know that I seldom have anything but a smile on my face. I rarely plaster foundation and cosmetics on my face, my makeup is my smile.
And as long as I have a smile on my face, there is so much in life that feels easier to deal with.
I’m not a total dreamer though. I know that having a smile plastered on your face 24/7 is not going to magically make all problems disappear.
In fact, many of those that have a smile regularly, are often those who are going through a lot in the background of their life, but like a clown, that smile masks everything else.
It’s true of me too. Life is seldom smooth sailing. There is always something bubbling away in my mind, but for me, facing life with a smile really does help.
It’s also good exercise, you know! We use more muscles to smile than to frown!
And a smile is often contagious. If you beam at someone, or give a little smile, you’ll often receive one in return, or if you don’t you may have given someone a little spark of positivity that they will hopefully allow to ignite into a full smile a bit later!
I found a lovely article here on some facts about smiling. Be sure to check it out!
So make sure you smile Peeps, at yourself, and at others. It’ll make for a better day! 🙂
