What if you could generate a smile in an instant?
Yes you can.
Through play, we have fun and often we can discuss topics that might be more difficult through a persona. Auroa brand products also make us smile and couldn't our day use a little more smiles. Established in 1981, Aurora™ is a global leader in plush toys and high-quality gifts. As a respected leader in characters and plush, Aurora™ offers an extensive range of branded and licensed products that both children and adults will love.
Did you know that it takes 43 muscles in our face to smile?
According to research provided by Henry Ford Health, research shows that children smile an average of 400 times per day, compared to the average happy adult who smiles 40-50 times per day and the typical adult who smiles only 20 times per day. Yikes, that's a "debbie downer".
Why is smiling important?
Smiling not only offers a mood boost but helps our bodies release cortisol and endorphins that provide numerous health benefits, including:
Reduced blood pressure
Increased endurance
Reduced pain
Reduced stress
Strengthened immune system
Furthermore, studies show that people who smile appear more likeable, courteous and competent. Smilers tend to be more productive at work and make more money.
