The Secrets Behind Smiles

A beautiful smile can do a lot of things. We all first smiled as early as when we were born. According to experts, smiling may have been a primal instinct in animals, specifically, a response to fear. It has been dated back to 30 million years ago, when apes showed their teeth to show enemies that they were not dangerous. Most human babies smile for the first time in their sleep, and learn to smile and laugh in as early as four to six weeks.

The smile, however seemingly simple, holds complexities as that of any other sub topic in science and psychology. At its simplest, it reveals actual feelings (e.g. a Duchenne smile, or a genuine smile of happiness as opposed to a fake one), it can forge friendships, and lightens the mood – both your own and of those around you regardless of whether or not they are strangers. Smiling has so many psychological and emotional benefits that we tend to miss out on. We even think it’s a built-in quick fix.

That being said, here’s a short list of fun facts about our smiles and what they can do.

  1. Facial expressions, including smiles, can reveal if a person is lying.
  2. In many cases, wearing a genuine smile is better than wearing makeup. According to Orbit Complete, their study reveals that 69% of the people prefer looking at others who smile than those wearing makeup.
  3. A lustful character was among the many beliefs surrounding a gap-toothed smile. Another was that if one had teeth gap, this was a sign of good omen.
  4. A smile is contagious, and it’s perhaps one of the few things we’d like to contract from others.
  5. Women smile more than men do.
  6. Even a forced smile brightens your mood, which makes your body instantly release endorphins and serotonin. The former blocks your perception of pain, while the latter elevates your mood. The amounts released are similar to that of consuming chocolate.
  7. A happy smile is universally understood by all humans.
  8. The study of laughter and smiling, and their effects on the human body is called “gelotology.”
  9. Children smile way more than adults do. While 30% of adults smile at least 20 times a day, kids do it at a whopping 400 times a day.
  10. Smiling (even a forced one) gives you confidence and control. This works in, say, an interview or when speaking to a group of people. Or maybe meeting your girlfriend’s parents for the first time. After smiling, refer to no. 4 of this list and watch it happen.

Looking at the facts, the old adage does hold true: Smile, and the whole world smiles with you.

Beauty most often involves physical attributes. It is mostly about having good skin, shiny hair, well applied make-up, the good result of an anti-aging treatment, having those teeth bands to have perfect teeth and wearing clothes that flatter the figure. But imagine you are without all these, will you still consider yourself beautiful? Maybe not as beautiful but do not despair because you still have a lot of beauty inside you. You just have to be aware of the other beautiful things in you. Here are some of the other things that make a person beautiful.

The beauty you have inside is manifested by how you look outside. No amount of makeup can hide the sadness you feel inside or the feeling of being sick. How you feel often is seen in your eyes and how you carry yourself. Having a cheerful and happy disposition will make you look good and there will be glow in your eyes. You will also give out a sincere and beautiful smile. You will have a positive aura.

Try to adapt a more positive outlook in life. Do not dwell on the negativity of life as this attitude can only bring you down and even make you sick. A positive outlook does the good to the health. Put more weight on the things you are capable of doing well than focus on the things you cannot do. Be yourself, know your limitations and live within your capacity. Appreciate what you have and never aim to achieve something that you know very well is impossible for you to attain. Focus more on your good points rather than feel sorry for your shortcomings.

Lastly be confident and magnify your strength and overcome your weaknesses. Believe that you have what it takes to be beautiful. Put on a good smile that radiates a good feeling coming from within. Be at your best and give people reasons to see the beauty in you. Look beautiful; be at your best and feel good and people will see you the way you want them to, simply beautiful.

To most people beauty is something superficial. It is something that is visible and meets the eyes. Beauty could mean flawless skin, sexy body, standing tall with confidence, tantalizing eyes, perfect teeth, beautiful hair and gorgeous and sexy legs. Beauty they say depends on the eyes of the beholder. True because the standards of people with regards to beauty are not the same. To some beauty involves the physical traits while to others it is something deeper. You would be surprise that a fat lady can be considered beautiful by some. Why? It is simply because she has that inner beauty in her that radiates to other people. How beautiful you are in character is more appreciated and leaves a more meaningful impression on others.

Beauty Is More than Skin Deep

Beauty is not always judged according to one’s physical traits. It should also depend on how one sees hers own self and how she wants others to see her. It is the awareness that everyone has something beautiful in them that will enable you and others to appreciate what you have. Stop wishing for something that you know you cannot achieve. Be contented with what you have. It is not always necessary to make a change in your physical appearance. All you have to do is to like what you have and make the most out of it.

If people say you are not beautiful, prove them wrong. There is always something beautiful in a person. It could be how she carries himself, how she interacts with people, how much she knows and the manners she has that make her beautiful. Yes initial impressions are based on physical beauty but remember you won’t be just standing there and say nothing. You have to communicate, give your sweetest and most sincere smiles, and be with people who would appreciate your presence more than your looks. Be confident and believe that you have beauty within you and that is what people will see.

Having perfect teeth is an important factor in improving your appearance. If you have shiny white teeth, you’ll be able to show your big smile to everyone with confidence. Confidence will make you look beautiful and sexy. Pouty lips can also add up to your sexy look. If you want to get Angelina Jolie’s sexy lips, you don’t have to get a surgery to do this. There’s a trick on how to get those pouty lips using beauty products. Go to your favorite beauty store and look for a nice color of lipstick, lip gloss, lip primer, lip balm and lip pencil.

The first thing you need to do is remove anything that’s on your lips. Make sure your lips are clean for a smooth finish. Most of the time, the lips are being worked on last when applying make-up. Apply some lip balm on your lips to turn them soft while doing your make-up. It’s best to go for one with sunscreen protection so when you use lip balm on a regular day, your lips will be protected from the sun’s harmful heat. Remove excess lip balm on your lips using cotton or tissue paper. Get your lip primer and put some on your lips.

Use lip pencil to define the shape of your lips. This will make your lips have that sexy pout. If you’re using a dark colored lipstick like red or burgundy, use dark lip pencil like purple or brown. If you’re using light lipstick, go for nude or soft pink lip pencil. You can also use it if you’re only wearing lip gloss. Apply the lipstick color of your choice using the tube or brush. Use the method that’s more comfortable for you. For a finishing touch, use concealer to hide or remove any mess or lipstick that goes outside the line you put using lip pencil.

Pastel hair colors are normally seen on celebrities, as well as fashion models. But this doesn’t mean that they are the only ones who can pull off these colors. If you have a playful, free spirited and fun loving personality, you too, can try them. Of course, you must be confident wearing pastel hair color since your confidence is what will make you stand out. Match your hair color with a pretty smile so everyone will see your fun side. If you have space on your front teeth, get gap bands to have them fixed immediately. They are available online and they cost cheap so treating that gapped teeth can be done easily.

After fixing that space on your teeth, you’re ready to be all smiles and look great on a pastel colored hair. Whether you choose bubblegum pink, light blue, purple or any rainbow color, prepare your hair by coloring it in light brown or blonde. If you already have this hair color, then you can go directly to having it colored with pastel. Some of the most popular celebrities who are often seen wearing pastel colored hair are Katy Perry, Kelly Osbourne and Lady Gaga. Sophie Sumner from America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion Cycle 18 also had her hair colored in bubblegum pink for their makeover episode.

You may go for pastel highlights or color it pastel all the way. If you want to make sure that the color will look great on you, color your hair with washable hair dye first so you can easily wash it if you’re not happy with the result. Once you’ve found the color that will look good on you, that’s the time that you can use a permanent or semi-permanent hair dye. For pastel highlights, there are pastel streak hairs that you can purchase online. Instead of coloring your hair, clip this to your hair and it will look like it’s highlighted in pastel. The good thing about this is that you can easily remove and put it again anytime.

What to Wear on a Summer Wedding


Weddings are special moments to share with friends and relatives. If you have been invited by your college friend to attend her summer wedding, you’ll feel excited, right? You’ll get to see her walk on the isle with the man she loves and get a chance to bond with your other friends who will be there. Then you realize that you don’t have any idea on what to wear for the event. Aside from making sure that you have perfect teeth to bring out that beautiful smile, your outfit is one of the most important things that you need to plan.

Determine if the event will be formal or informal. If it’s not specified on the invitation, it’s best to call the bride or people who have knowledge about it. You don’t want to look overdressed or underdressed for that special occasion. Furthermore, you’ll feel more confident if you know the details since you can prepare on the look that you’ll wear on the wedding. Cocktail dresses can be worn on formal weddings. Long dresses that flow will look fabulous and comfortable for a formal summer wedding. Pair your outfit with high heeled shoes that match the color of your dress.
