If you are traveling around during this last bit of summertime, trip adviser looked at all the cool hotels. I know. I feel weird. The Quirky Hotels and the bed and breakfast. Who was playing around with these before we put them in our mouth. Good point. Jerry. These are hotels and b bs around the country. This is kokopelli cave. Its a bed and breakfast thats underground. Your room is 70 feet below the ground. Its near the four Corners Region of the united states. Wow. And its can i tell you something . I would be so claustrophobic in there. Cant be a window so what its a mirror. Thats kind of strange. No Frank Gifford would go crazy in there. So claustrophobic. I hate driving through the lincoln tunnel. Im not crazy about it. Because you know those movies where a piece falls out and the water rushes through. I always think about that. Its scary to me. And you know what else i cant do anymore . Wear a snorkel. That makes me this might help. It makes me claustrophobic. Like on your face. Yeah, i know. Its all part of being 50, hoda woman. Actually, you are 50. No, im not. Im 49. Oh, yeah thats right.

Im not really. I always feel weird because they are so intimate and you hear everything. People are like, are you raze ready for breakfast . I like to go eat when im ready and, you know, and be a little bit of a hermit. Hoda really likes to disappear. I dont think you know this about her. Shes gregarious and stuff but when shes out, shes so out. Shes not just out the door. Shes out of town. I just get up and leave. Who had a party the other day me. Thank you very much. Oh, yeah, yours. There was one before. Oh, it was for sara. And there was i was plotting my escape. Of course you were. Im just saying. Usually i say i have to go to the bathroom which isnt in the room where the party was. In this particular luncheon, the ladies room was right there. No way out there because everyone will see you go in. And come back. I dont know why i do that. What is that . Why do i do that . Selfishness. It is. Lets talk about your nail polish. What does it say about you. Does it represent your mood . Ivillage did a study and figured out what your manicure says about you. If you do red it means you are passionate and energized. I never wear red. I wear red on my toes. I wear red downstairs. Your toes are passionate and energized. If you wear prettiest feet. If you wear peach, you are happy go lucky. Metallic means you are strong and looking to make a statement. Green means adventure and purple is confidence. So nude polish means you arent afraid to be your true self. You dont need a color to say who you are. Or you are lazy and you havent gone to get i think lazy is more of it. You wear like a clear. A pretty. I wear like a ballet slippers or one of those. Were on television every day so you want to wear something that you dont have to change it goes with every color. But i always did that French Manicure forever and ever and ever. How come you stopped doing that . I used to wear long nails and it just got to be too much work. Too much trouble. Too much work.

So what they do is a little temporary tattoo. There they are. And you put that see, its maybe bobbie might like that. I dont like it at all. You think bobbie would like it . Bobbie likes new funky things. Bobbie would appreciate the artistry in it, but i dont think shes very classic actually. Its a 6 set. If you are interested in the tattoo that you can wash away after a while for 6. One would hope. Anyhoo. Hoda zoned out. But its time for your friday funny. Im ready. Go. A woman was washing dishes and she noticed something was wrong. She turns to her husband and says, honey, i think the sink has a leak. Can you try to fix it . Her husband turns to her and says, do i look like a plumber to you . Next day, their dog wanders into the neighbors yard through a crack in the fence and the wife turns to her husband. Can you fix the fence . And husband replied, do i look like a carpenter to you . Finally, the wife noticed some of the paint was chipping in their sons room so she said, honey, could you please repaint the room . He says do i look like a painter to you . Theres a theme here. The next day a handyman came through the neighborhood looking for work. The wife immediately hired him. When the husband came home and saw the work had been done he said, how did you get everything fixed . There was a handyman. He came by and offered to do it for a lot of sex or a homemade pie. And he said, i hope you made him the best apple pie of his life. And his wife stares right at him and said, do i look like a baker to you . Youve been rocking the jokes. Whats going on with you .

I guess the recipe would be on our website as well. Would you like to be happier, hoda . Yes. Well have some answers that will turn that frown upside down. And bobbie is here with her buzz. Well make you smile in style. First these messages. Searching for happiness, you are probably looking in the wrong places. In fact you might want to try thousands of students at new york citys one Day University have studied their way to bliss. Here to show you how easy it is to ace this emotion are Kathryn Sanderson who lectures at one day u and is a professor at Amherst College department of 61 Psychology Department of psychology, and nancy intercept, a fulltime working mom who has taken kathryns course, the science of happiness. Hi, ladies. Hi. The word happy is basically about circumstances, right . Its not the same as joy. This is a different thing. Right. And thats a great question. And one of the challenges is that lots of things wed intuitively think make us happy really dont. So, for example, having more money. People think if i just had more money, i would id have fewer problems. And what happens . More money, more problems. Different problems but still problems. I like the different problems better. But theres also the challenges that as you get more money, that amount of money no longer is enough and then people want more. Because the comparison changes. The itch you cant scratch kind of thing. But how much of it you took the course. How much of it is a dna thing. Some babies are happy and they grow up into happy kids and happy grownups . And some are cranky. Some people are naturally happy but the thing is that for anyone who isnt naturally happy, there are things that can make you happy. Very simple things. Did you go looking for happiness . I was happy but i wanted to find out how to be even happier. What did you learn . First thing is just smiling, like if you feel like, im in a mood, just making yourself smile, even if you ive got something to help with that. Those lip things. Even if you dont feel happy, thats easy. You talked about how like things like children and family, those things youd innately think make you happy, dont. Thats a really great point. People often think, being married will make me happier. Depends on who you marry. Thats because you are a woman. For men it doesnt matter. For men, marriage makes them happy, no matter who it is. Even a house like a shrew . Well, having a wife is a pretty good deal. Having a wife helps a lot. For women, it matters who you marry. Matters who you marry a lot. People with children, not happier than people without children. And one of the challenges is that lots of stuff about children is effort. Its work. Its changing diapers, doing laundry, doing the dishes. Its not innately joyful. Lets talk about the things. I didnt believe this at first. I dont agree with this at all. I really dont. Shopping, eating, exercise and sex. All things, to me, that seem fleeting. Like you do it and as soon as you are done, happiness goes away. Temporary fixes. Right. So those are things, shopping doesnt even have to be for you. For someone else. Have you ever had the experience of buying a fabulous gift for someone that you knew was going to make them so happy . Yeah. I love that. But thats helping someone. Exactly. And thats helping someone. Volunteering. Yeah. Volunteering makes people happy. I think thats what you are discussing something a little different which is fulfillment. Yeah. Seeing what you can do to impact another human beings life is a wonderful thing. Theres different kinds of happiness. One is a kinld of kind of happy from accomplishment, doing really good things. And you may not be smiling because as you know, it is hard to get things important and substantive done. On the other hand, some people, you know, they are shopping, they are eating, they are happy. Some people are oblivious to the most beautiful things in the world and they dont even see it. Dont appreciate it. Well show you everything you need for this weekend to make you happy. Exactly. Your must haves for labor day. And Bobbie Thomas is here with her beauty buzz. Is that kate cook . Oh, new york its brittany. We are back. Huh. Anybody . Julie hey. Guess what day it is . .

The owner found my email and told me sephora took her patent to help them with her brush collection. They all have very strange edges. Your makeup goes on on the curve of your cheek or the eye shadow perfectly because if you press too hard with brushes that are flat you get wrinkles and aging. So this is brilliant. You get even application. Thats how it works. I love this one. This is this is for cheeks. These are just something that i think every woman should have. They are inexpensive. Try them on. Just put them on but they come with matching cuffs. So you dont get the water running down. You put it on to get your hair back. This is the best part. They come with your wonder woman cuffs so that the water doesnt drip down. Oh, cute. And then lastly, something im very excited about. A monthly delivery from the lab. These have people have partnered up with cosmetic labs and they make the formulations that big brands like designers go and get the products from. You pay big bucks for.

This looks pornographic, a little bit. But look what happens here. I was once at a picnic out in the hamptons. Ben brantley, editor of the washington post, had corn all over his face. And nobody could nobody told him. What did you say . I said theres corn all over your face. Every time i see corn, i think of him. This is speakers built into a backpack. Stop it. So if you are going on a picnic. Even to give as a gift to someone who has children for the coming year. Im sure teachers will love this. And the sharknado theme, they also made a shark one. Can you put stuff in the backpack . Yes. Right now its bubble, but i was like, oh, you walk around with a speaker. No, you walk around with your ipad and it plays it. I love bingo.
