Bright Side

Actors, just like people of any other profession, have their ups and downs. So, if their biggest “up” is the Oscar award, then the worst possible event in their career is probably the Golden Raspberry. This plastic berry, painted with gold spray paint that costs $4.97 is given to actors one day before the Oscar ceremony. And there is probably not a single actor in the world who would like to receive it. But nobody is safe from getting the award for the worst acting, not even Oscar nominees and winners.

Unexpected irony can result in some pretty hilarious situations that can happen to any of us. Maybe it’s your dog chewing the no chew deterrent or an invisible deodorant spray that has disappeared from the shelves. Fortunately, some of these moments were captured on camera so we could all laugh about them together.

It’s quite easy to make a joke about another person, but it takes courage, wit, and self-irony to have a good laugh at yourself or the situation you’re facing. Many of us have had times when a good sense of humor kept us afloat on the toughest days, and this is surely an art that needs to be mastered.

For many years, Pit Bulls have been demonized by society for being aggressive toward people and other animals. As a result, they often get abused, abandoned by their owners, and doomed to stay in shelters for the rest of their lives. To destroy this unfair reputation, photographer Sophie Gamand started a project called Pit Bull Flower Power. Since 2014, she’s been traveling around the USA to take photos of shelter Pit Bulls in need of adoption and sharing them on social media. Her charming portraits of the dogs wearing flower crowns have completely changed their fate and have helped people to look at these dogs in a new, softer light.

You may think that work is a boring place until one day you walk into something so funny, that you can’t help yourself, and have to tell the entire world. The glory of social media is that we can all share different funny things and as a result, we can show them to our readers.

Animals have a lot in common with us when it comes to emotions: they have their own ways of showing them and it’s pretty hilarious to watch. This is especially clear when pets try something new for the first time, showing the same excitement and confusion that any person would.

Nearly 1 in 3 women will have their babies delivered through a cesarean section, so it has become more and more important to know the ins and outs of the procedure. There are many things a new mother can do to help the healing process right after undergoing a C-section.

Today, we hear about new inventions constantly. But before, we only dreamed about these futuristic creations after reading sci-fi books. You’ve probably thought about how cool it would be to have pockets in your evening dress or how awesome being able to keep your drink cold for extended periods of time would be. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to have a portable garage? Well, we’ve got some great news for you: these dreams have come true!

Doing laundry is not the most enjoyable household chore, especially considering the fact that dirty underwear pile up in the blink of an eye. A Copenhagen-based brand called Organic Basics has come up with a solution to that — a NASA-inspired, high-tech, eco-friendly pair of underwear that you apparently “won’t need to wash for weeks.”

Advertising has already become a separate kind of art with its own awards and outstanding designers. Ice cream, cat litter, fitness centers — all these and many other things can be advertised so well that you’ll want to buy or use this service right away. Don’t believe us? Look at our article.

Our pets, those adorable weirdos, are so expressive that sometimes even we as owners get surprised by their way of communicating with us. Going to the vet is one of those moments when those “infant-like” facial expressions they put so much effort into don’t work though. From puppy eyes to angry-bird faces, their body language is an absolute riot!

Although many people don’t know much about it, binge eating is the most common eating disorder in adults. And it can have serious health, psychological, and social consequences. While eating to your heart’s content might seem unavoidable on special occasions like Thanksgiving Day or a New Year’s Eve party, it is always better to keep track of how much you’re eating.

The experts believe that there’s a direct connection between one’s personality and the subconscious mind. That’s how these puzzles work — even a simple decision like choosing a pie is not an accident, your subconscious has done it for you and it can reveal quite a bit about the inner you. And the chosen image is more than just a piece of food, it actually reveals your personality. Keep in mind that this is just a fun test so don’t take it too seriously — unless we manage to get things spot-on, of course!

They say that love has no language, but the quirky ways in which love can be expressed in different languages can sometimes add a little zing to the relationship. From calling your beautiful soulmate “the ugly one” to saying her mesmerizing eyes resemble that of a fish, the words of love can only be understood by the love-smitten.

Social media has been a place for demonstrating your successes, wins, and achievements for a long time now. And a large number of tools that help us tweak reality really come in handy. But not all internet users want to make their reality look better than it is. So, instead of sharing photos of their perfect pets, a Twitter user started a movement that encourages people to post the worst pictures of their cats, dogs, and other pets.

The Waorani people are a tiny indigenous tribe who usually mind their own business in their village. But when their natural habitat faced the risk of being destroyed for oil mining, they marched to the court to demand their rights. Equipped with attorneys, legal papers, traditional weapons, and songs, the Amazon tribe remained unfazed while facing off against big corporations and the government.

These days many names come from all around the world and sometimes it is almost impossible to guess their correct pronunciation. We found a few very well-known names that most people pronounce totally wrong. Let’s have a look at them and see if you can figure out how to say them correctly.

Inventors and science fiction writers excite us with their ideas. But the most amazing thing is that some of their ideas have become reality, even over the past century. Most of us probably don’t even realize that smartphones were predicted a long time before they appeared.

Ordering stuff online is a tricky business. Everything should run smoothly...if you’re lucky. You can get your order exactly as you wanted it and will remain blissfully unaware of the problems other not-so-lucky customers have to deal with. They might get their item in the wrong size or even receive something completely different — and also weird!

Family. These people are always ready to give you a helping hand, to share your happiness and sorrows when you need it most, and... to make your jaw drop with surprise at any single moment. From witty husband-and-wife jokes to well-advised and elaborate pranks, they continue to prove ­­that family is the best part of life.

Pets can behave in an unpredictable way and there are few pet owners who have never scolded their animals for doing something wrong. Of course, it’s not easy to find a common language with pets and they sometimes seem to come from a different planet. But we do know one thing, everyone who has a pet, loves to brag about how smart they are.

When Imelda Marcos was young, she looked a lot like Cinderella. This girl from the Philippines, from an ordinary family, has always had a bright appearance. When she was 18 years old, she easily won a beauty contest in her country. The future president, Ferdinand Emmanuel Marcos noticed Imelda like it usually happens in fairy tales when the prince falls in love with an ordinary girl. Except their story didn’t end with a “happily ever after,” instead it turned into a very divisive biography of a woman who is often called the iron butterfly, and she is one of the best examples of abuse of power.

After making a revision of my wardrobe I realized that I need to save my shoes. The thought that trying to say goodbye to them was unbearable. But the prices for dry-cleaning them were unbearable too. So I knew it was a good time for some life hacks!

If someone feels pain or discomfort in any part of their body, they usually check their symptoms online to get an idea of what the cause could be. Sometimes this helps clear up their doubts quickly and the majority of people know that even if what they read online is published by specialists, it shouldn’t be taken as a personalized medical diagnosis. In the case of “cyberchondria,” however, people believe that this search is enough and so they start the habit of googling any possible “symptom” on the web to basically diagnose themselves.

If someone asked us to describe a beautiful person, images of famous people would probably pop up in our minds. For some, it might be a person who’s the same age as them, living in the 21st century. For others it might be someone from the past. And although the standards of beauty are constantly changing, we find certain people attractive no matter the year or the century they were born in.

Many actresses get trapped in one role or image, but sometimes the opposite happens when a movie role gets associated with one specific person. So, remakes are a very risky business which, for some reason, doesn’t really scare off directors. Almost every popular movie already has a remake. The familiar characters, that look very different, often spark controversy among viewers: some people are ready to accept the changes and some people are completely against “parodies” of their favorite characters? Which side are you on?

A place where we relax our body and soul, where we purify ourselves, and where we daydream — it’s hard to imagine a more heart-to-heart room than the bathroom. That’s why such an important place deserves to be planned thoughtfully. Marble stone, fresh flowers, skylights, neon lights, or even outdoor showers — so many simple things can inspire a gorgeous design. And once it’s done perfectly, you might not want to leave your bathroom for the whole day!

What do Google, Apple, Amazon, Harley-Davidson, and Disney have in common? They were all started in a garage. Most of the iconic, multi-billion-dollar companies of today have had very humble beginnings.

It’s easy to believe that local efforts don’t matter when it comes to saving our planet. But even small things can make a huge difference. In fact, some relatively small eco-initiatives are turning into projects that have a big impact on the environment, from a cleanup on Everest to building houses with recycled rubbish.

Sometimes, it’s not our strength of character, but our creativity that helps us come up with a new solution to find a way out of a seemingly impossible situation. Or, at the very least, do things that nobody has ever done before. If you don’t believe us, check out the proof in this article!

Women have always wanted to look good — Cleopatra took baths in milk and Roman women spent many hours in saunas to moisturize their skin. All women want to look beautiful and young. But today, being young is something that people worship and signs of aging are something to be ashamed of. Getting rid of wrinkles, dying their silver hair, and hiding drooping necks and arms underneath clothing are all more common than ever before. But why has natural aging in the female body become so taboo?

Some things that we all have at home can be used for way more than they were designed for. Sometimes it’s really worth forgetting the original purpose and using a little bit of imagination and creativity, the new use for the old stuff can make your life so much easier. Like that French coffee press. Who would’ve guessed that it’s a brilliant tool for rinsing rice? Simple, practical, and genius.

If you’re struggling to decide on the perfect place to spend your summer vacation, here’s some good news: the hard work has already been done for you. Travelers from around the world chose the most beautiful countries of the year — and the list includes spots for either beach lovers, fans of hiking, or those craving a big city vibe.

When we get married, we feel absolutely sure that we’ve finally managed to find “the one.” But, sadly, statistics show much different results — about one in 4 marriages ends up in divorce. And even if sometimes it’s really difficult to admit that your “happily ever after” just isn’t working, you shouldn’t get upset, because there are plenty of good things that a divorce can bring into your life.
