This week, I choose a very simple, yet important quote: “A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear.”
Far too often, I see people walking around with a straight face. They may be with their partner, family, or just shopping with lots of bags in their hands. Why aren’t they smiling – you would think they would be happy?! I, too, have been caught up in deep thoughts where I’m sure my face is in it’s resting state – definitely NOT smiling. But truth be told, I feel great when I see other people smiling! It even puts a smile on my face after I walk on by! =)
Simply put, my challenge this week is to smile more. Not only is it the prettiest thing you can wear, it might also spread happiness and joy to those passing by!
Happy Monday!

TOTALLY agree! Even when I’m feeling ick or am not liking my hair/outfit/shoes/you-name-it, a smile can make a MAJOR difference so I try to smile through it all. Love it!

Absolutely! Keep on smiling! =)
Love this! I will be trying this challenge this week! So many times I’m riding in the car alone and pull the mirror down and see a scowl (for no reason)
Pretty flowers too!!!
Happy Monday!

Thank you! And I’ve done that plenty of times, too! I’d rather have smile marks on my face when I age, rather than scowl marks! =)
This is such a sweet reminder, sometimes a smile can truly turn someone’s day around.I defintley will be smiling more this week!

I’m a big believer of this quote because smiling always makes me feel better. Even if I feel like complete crap, as soon as I smile I feel a little bit better! xx
I pretty sure I’m one of those people that walks around without knowing that I look like I’m mad at the world! lol! Good reminder for this Monday! xo

Reminds me of the quote, “happy girls are the prettiest!”

I read a quote by Kim Kardashian once where she said she rarely smiles because it causes wrinkles. I thought, “Girl, life is too short. What a sad way to live.” Smiling is good for your soul. And indeed, happy girls are the prettiest, wrinkles and all. 😉

I love this!! Sometimes I feel like when I walk by someone and smile it almost like scares people or they think I’m up to something. ha. It’s amazing what a simple smile or hello can do for someones day, the world will live in has come so consumed by the negative and in technology that we forget the little things like smiling!

I agree with this, but I’m also confused a bit by the sentiment that people should smile just to smile. I have a resting face often and though I’m sure it doesn’t look unpleasant, the only people who have ever told me to smile are men, usually creeps at that. And then they usually end up with a dirty look because really, no one needs to tell ME what to do with my body.
I completely agree, nothing makes a bad day better than seeing a smile on somebody’s face! Great tips, friend!

Totally agree and this is a good reminder to smile more! It is rare to come across strangers in public who are smiling just to smile so I need to make sure I am the one smiling often! Thanks for sharing.
