Episode Notes

Laughter really is the best medicine!  A good laugh can make us feel better. In fact, as we find out in this episode, laughing is actually beneficial for us physically too!  And while I may not get a 6 pack from watching funny movies, it will most assuredly improve my mood...and that's saying something.

In this episode, Kayla and I are joined by my sister, Lauren Sherwin, and we share our favorite ways to bring laughter into our lives.  One of which, is laughing at ourselves as we tried the Hanacure mask...known as the Zombie mask.  You can laugh at us...I mean, with us here:

See?  Didn't that feel good?  Now try to incorporate a little laughter in your daily life.  Need a little help getting started?  Here are a few ways to LOL every day:

  1. Watch a funny movie!  My favorites? Bridesmaids, Meet the Parents, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Mean Girls...to name a few.
  2. Gather some friends and play a game that is designed to make you laugh.  What Do You Meme, Telestrations and Drawful are some good ones!
  3. Learn to laugh at yourself.  We all do things that are worthy of a good laugh.  Don't be so serious that you don't see the humor in these normal slip ups.  C'mon, I can't be the only one who has had an entire conversation with a few grains of rice stuck to her chest.  Am I?  Even if I am...it's still funny!

Take some time to nurture the lighthearted side of life.  Embrace the humor and LOL... I mean really...LAUGH OUT LOUD!  It's the cheapest form of therapy around.
