Beauty, Happiness, and the Science of Well-Being: Lindsay Peragallo’s 15-Second Ritual for Sparking and Spreading Joy

This week we’re joined by beauty writer and editor and happiness connoisseur, Lindsay Peragallo. Lindsay has over a decade of experience contributing to leading print and digital publications including Allure, InStyle, Byrdie, Real Simple, and more. Her published work marries her product expertise and deep understanding of the industry, to deliver honest, informative, and compelling content that helps readers better navigate the beauty aisle and their online shopping carts.

On top of being a beauty expert, Lindsay knows the ins and outs of happiness and has created a memory-filled notebook called Happy Notes to help others start an engaging gratitude practice. The idea was born when a close friend encouraged some positive thinking during a less happy time in her life. In an attempt to keep the notes inexcusably convenient, she flipped to the back of her work notebook and took 15-seconds to spark joy, which in turn started the 'happy notes' self-love ritual she’s sworn by ever since.
