15 People Whose Day Went From Good to Wonderful

The “baby schema” effect says a release of the chemicals dopamine and oxytocin is triggered in the brain when humans look at puppies. The same concoction of chemicals is released when we look at babies and when we fall in love. Well, we’re not limiting ourselves to these categories of images, but we got our brains brewing and think we have the perfect combination of feel-good pictures to boost your mood and give you a reason to smile.
