Woman's Day April 2012 Issue
I found the following to be very interesting:
If you love the "sweet" stuff like I do, we know it doesn't do our teeth or our waistline any good, but it could be making you a nicer person. In a series of studies published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, subjects with a sweet tooth were rated as more agreeable and were more willing to volunteer to help others.
Who's happiest? Research proves that these folks have mastered the art:
* The cheeriest folks in America? "Hawaiians" says a recent Gallup poll. (Well duh - I could have told you that one).
* Biotech Workers are the most satisfied employees in the country, according to the job-search website CareerBliss.com. Next on their list: Customer services reps (which I find very hard to believe) and teachers.
* Life does get better as we age. According to a Stanford University study, "Older Americans" are the most content generation with satisfaction peaking at 70.
* People who enjoy creative pastimes, like visiting museums or performing in local theater are singing a happy tune, as reported from an iPhone survey the Mappiness Project (professor George MacKerron).
* And apparently people who earn $75,000 have reached the plateau beyond which more money has no measurable effect on day-to-day contentment (according to Princeton economist Angus Deaton's research).
So if you are not happy you need to move to Hawaii, get a job as a Biotech Worker, keep your job as a Biotech Worker so you can make at least $75,000/year, age gracefully, and get artsy!!!! Sounds like a plan. : )
What would make me happy???? This fabulous belt!!! And it's only $16.99!!!!
