Smile!

There is a controversy over how many muscles it takes to smile. Research suggests it could be anywhere from 4 to 17, but some silly chain letter from Aunt Milda says it's 26. There are only 43 muscles in the face, so it can't be more than that. Does it really matter? Smiling is awesome regardless of the inconclusive research.

What IS pretty conclusive, however, is that smiling is good for your health. Smiling can help trick your body into thinking it's in a better mood, and helps release endorphins and seratonin (a happy hormone). Smiling makes you more attractive and lifts other people's spirits, too.

Today, I made apple smiles. Remember those from kindergarten? Yeah, I totally owned that shit. And it definitely made me smile my way through lunch. :D
