PROJECT SMILE
THE FLIP SIDE
A smile is a facial expression formed primarily by flexing the muscles at the sides of the mouth. Some smiles include a contraction of the muscles at the corner of the eyes, an action known as a Duchenne smile. Among humans, a smile expresses delight, sociability, happiness, joy, or amusement. – Wikipedia
It really does take more muscles to frown, about 47 of them. And for smiling, we only use about 13 so they say. But, rumor has it that that statement is a bit of a stretch of the truth. And, besides I am a bit curious about how such things are tallied up. Another site that I referenced states that it takes 17 Muscles to Smile and Forty-Three to Frown. …
The amount of energy that people spend frowning extends far past the muscles it takes to grin. Who knows? But what I do know is whether a person is grinning like a Cheshire cat from ear to ear or that smile is beaming like starlight or slightly playing peek a boo, I love it.
The Observation Booth is utilized as a space for Andrea Dialect to stumble through, which aids in life and brand development. It can also be used by readers, subjects, and features to assist or advance our world or their own. It is a peek into one’s world from the outside. It is also for the development of content.
Everything printed here is in draft form; thus, error is welcomed and to be expected. Everything is constantly evolving, is her mantra. Seeing the work in printed format is the initial step and is quite valuable and therapeutic for developing all forms. Like Everything, Andrea Dialect uses this space as a test lab for test study and a test subject.
Here you will also find influencers, professionals, and muses who are considered “clay” who lend their image to change as doing us proud who are contributors to the upward progress of human progress. It is a platform for the growth, inspiration, motivation, and development of herself, her subjects, and her readers. Enjoy!

According to the well-known smile expert Ron Gutman, Darwin states that the act of smiling itself actually makes us feel better rather than smiling being merely a result of feeling good. Smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers, and serotonin, three neurotransmitters that make us feel good from head to toe. These natural chemicals elevate our mood, relax our body and reduce physical pain. Consider smiling a natural drug. Gutman goes on to state that one single smile is as stimulating to our brain as eating 2000 bars of chocolate or winning £16000 pounds. Wow!
