releasing endorphins - making you feel better too! Smiling is very important for our wellbeing,
as people who smile live longer, are less stressed and more successful in life! Take a look at
the benefits hidden in the corners of your mouth, and turn that frown upside down - because
when you smile, the whole world smiles with you!
