Smiley Happy Goodness in a bottle... I'll take some of that!

I woke up this morning in a "kick the cat" type of mood.  Sure could have used some happiness in a bottle, but hey... I didn't know they actually sold the stuff.  Sure enough, it seems they do.  Check this out.

It would appear that our happy little :) now has it's own line of beauty care. Smiley has been made into a line of aromatherapy "anti stress perfumes."  The Happy Therapy Center, refers to it's product as "a psycho-tonic" (psycho tonic??...boy these guys are gonna get rich!) resulting from advanced scientific research. Text on the site goes on to say:

Smiley"To conclude this new mission, smiley developed an active scent, able to give their smile back to the most stubborn... morose spirits breathe in deeply!  This contagious good mood is on its way to conquer the world. No one knows who will be able to stop smiley in its exhilarating crusade! A smile for everyone."

"smiley contains monoaminated alkaloids having a pharmacodynamic action called phenylethylamine and theobromine.  (huh? Whatever, if it makes me happy, I'll take it... and several more bottles for my friends, please!)  Phenylethylamine is to passion what endorphin is to love.  It sets off a feeling of joy, excitement and euphoria.  (Cool...sign me up.)  Theobromine blocks the receivers of adrenalin and thus decreases the effects of stress by a comfortable feeling of wellbeing. These two cardiotonics associated together dope vitality and sets up the moral.  It's that simple!"  (of course it is... why didn't someone think of this before?)

There is smiley eau de toilette, eau de parfum, deodorant, therapeutic bath, rubbing body friction, and body gel all designed to "activate happiness."  Wow... I feel better already just writing about this stuff! :)

    "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
