Bright Side

Side sleeping is the most common sleeping position — 74% of all people do it. Professionals still argue about the best sleeping position as all of them have their benefits and downsides, and since we spend a third of our lives in bed, it’s really important to know how you can get the best rest without negatively affecting your life.

Laura Jenkinson is a London-based makeup artist, whose Instagram page has over 320k followers. She found a very creative way to present her outstanding artistic skills to the world.

From Disney to South Park, Jenkinson probably would never suffer a shortage of ideas for what to draw next.

Sometimes our lives are better than any TV show. All you need to do is look around and you’ll find a reason to laugh or ponder. People are quite weird sometimes which may get annoying, but it ensures life will never be boring!

My apartment is on the fifth floor of a 5-story building in Istanbul. Trees don’t grow that high, the roof is flat, and my windows face the sunny side. That is why in the summer, when the temperature outside gets up to 100°F, my apartment turns into a Finnish sauna. It’s impossible to fall asleep and sleep well in these conditions. Since I don’t have an air conditioner, I have to figure out different ways to cool myself.

The modern world belongs to larks. But I decided to fight the system and let myself live as a night owl. I have been going to bed no earlier than 2 AM and waking up at about 10 AM for 2 years. And this has changed my life for the better in many ways.

According to a recent study, 93% of Americans suspect that online photos have been edited. And it seems to be true: among 82% of Americans who have ever posted a photo online, 64% admit to editing a photo before sharing it. Nevertheless, there are still some photos that have never been touched by Photoshop.

Psychologists suggest that we tend to see human behaviors in our pets as a sort of projection of our own personalities. But isn’t it just so funny to see these adorable little creatures pull the most hilarious stunts?

Growing up watching Disney movies and listening to magical fairy tales, every girl dreams of marrying a prince. In the past, royals were forbidden to marry “commoners.” For example, King Edward VIII had to abdicate his right to the throne to marry the love of his life. But the times have changed and now any girl has the chance to become a princess.

Adam Braun had everything he needed: a job on Wall Street, an apartment, and the opportunity to go on a round-the-world trip. But everyone has their own path to happiness. And after meeting a poor boy in India who only dreamed of having a pencil, Adam’s world was turned upside down.

According to a study at Cornell University, dogs were domesticated between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago. Since that time they have been hunting, guarding, sniffing, transporting, and doing other things to help people in their everyday life. They also give us a lot of joy and help to reduce our stress level. But as our article shows they can also check our patience.

According to statistics, the average person in America rises sometime between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM. I never was an exception to this generally accepted routine of getting up at 7:45 AM, leaving for work by 8:00 AM, and sipping a large cup of coffee on the go. Then there was the long and boring commute, after which I’d reach my office at 9:00 AM. After work, I was so exhausted that my only wish was to lie down and do nothing. So I did exactly that — no gym, no self-development, no creative planning, just a blurry mind and a constant feeling of tiredness. One day I decided to change my life completely and do an experiment for a month — I started waking up at 5:30 AM every morning.

History of pizza (yes, it’s a thing) tells us that modern pizza developed in Naples, Italy and ever since then has had us begging for more and more, year after year. However, modern pizza places have a little more to show us than just pizza.

The life of the British Queen Elizabeth II and those around her are strictly guided by rules. There’s a royal protocol that must be followed to keep The Queen — and her sense of morality — calm and content. However, she never wished for that kind of life. Her ascension to the throne was unpredicted and led to some outstanding events in British history.

Jessie Lipskin couldn’t find an apartment for rent that she was satisfied with, so she decided to build her own dream house. She made a really unusual choice: Jessie bought an old 1966 school bus on eBay (the same model that Keanu Reeves was driving in Speed, the iconic movie of the 90s). The main reason for this purchase was Jessie’s desire to live an eco-friendly life and not to get attached to a certain place. She spent several years turning the old bus into eye-candy similar to those on interior design magazine covers. The final result is definitely worth taking a look at because it ended up to be one of the coziest mobile homes there is.

Our subconscious is a very dark place that takes years and years of psychoanalysis to understand. It can reveal our deepest fears, secret desires, and suppressed emotions. However, some of us don’t even know the basic traits of our personalities, let alone the deep workings of them.

It’s not easy to figure out how to raise children, especially if everyone around you gives you conflicting advice. Even the views of great teachers and psychologists can be different.

People who we meet for the first time decide whether they like us or not, as well as which things we are capable of, even before we start to speak. It happens subconsciously, sometimes in less than a second. It’s this first impression that is so hard to change later.

The Internet is full of different facts about Japan, so when it comes to their gadgets, architecture, and fashion, it’s hard to surprise us.

For example, do you know what a “boredom room” is? Or that there’s a bookstore that sells only one book? The answers to these and other questions are right here in this article!

These people will teach us to not give up and see only the positive sides of this life.

Where do large pores come from? In order to hide them, women go to great lengths. It’s all about finding the right makeup primer, foundation, powder, matte products, looking in the mirror every hour, washing the makeup off in the evenings and repeating this all again the next day!

In this article, we’ll tell you all about how to do this.

The human body is a complex, well-oiled machine that knows which function it needs to make active at any given moment. And among the functions, are those that no one can consciously control.

We don’t call you out for drinking alcohol, but we do think that the ability to choose good wine for affordable prices is always a good skill to have. We celebrate grand occasions from time to time and knowing which kinds of good wine to put on the table is crucial!

Skin is the biggest organ in the human body, so it can say a lot about your lifestyle and the general condition of your health.

Food is always responsible for the condition of the skin because it influences its appearance and a person’s health in general.
