The New Happy Hour

Got 60 minutes to feel great? Make your day amazing with these quick hits of happy.

10 min: Lather up with an inexpensive scented body wash that reminds you of chocolate or piňa coladas.

4 min: Karaoke one of your favourite hits as you get ready for work.

5 min: At lunch, visit a dream-interpretation site and figure out what the symbols from last night's fantasy say about you.

10 min: Get a cheap, quick and invigorating massage at your local nail salon.

1 min: When you love a stranger's style, say so. You get a psychological payoff passing on goodwill - plus a new fashion source.

5 min: Look at food porn. Rifle through cooking mags or sites with mouth-watering recipes you want to try.

20 min: Do it... and often. Even if it's just a quickie, the hormones released during sex increase your mood in the short-term.

5 min: Get that fresh-sheets feeling by popping them in the dryer on high heat for a few
minutes along with a scented fabric softener.
