15 Pics That Can Bring a Smile to Your Face in a Second

A smile a day (or maybe 2 or 3 if we’re being generous) keeps the negativity away. Studies even suggest that smiling can help us recover faster from stress and reduce our blood pressure. It also helps release feel-good neuropeptides, which are tiny molecules that allow neurons to communicate, and they can fight off stress and brighten your day.

That said, we at Bright Side have managed to wrap a dose of joy and happiness into 15 pictures, and we want to give them to you as a little gift.
