Everyone recognises a smiley smile. It’s universal and crosses all ages. It makes us feel good on the inside and out. Anyone on the receiving end of a big smile will no doubt feel great too. It’s incredibly catching don’t you think?
I was absolutely thrilled to find out I had been nominated for the 2016 MAD blog awards for Outstanding Contribution for making the blog world a bit ‘smilier’. As I said in my birthday post earlier this week, my nomination isn’t for something super serious, but it is super-wonderful!
Wonderful because actually, smiling might just be the most important thing you do today, and if I helped to get that beautiful sunbeam plastered on your face, then that in itself is a winner.
I love how quotes can make you feel uplifted and ready for anything. Throw in a sparkly graphic or two and there you have something gorgeous that’s shareable, printable and ready to go when you need it the most. Enjoy!

This is lovely! I always try to remember that you don’t know how much a smile can touch someone if they’re having a really bad day – I need to smile more as i always tend to look a bit huffy! #candidcuddles

Smiling is truly infectious. It can literally light up a room. Daughter 2 is going through exams this week and she hasn’t smiled for a couple of weeks – I’ve really noticed her lack of a smile and it upsets me. I’m hoping that on Friday it will be back 🙂 A thoroughly deserved nomination. Alison x #DreamTeam

It’s so true that a smile can be infectious. I also think it makes us feel better to smile. If I’m having a bad day, I try to force myself to smile anyway, and before long, it is genuine!
