Bright Side

A house that looks like it came straight out of a fairytale book, a hidden room behind a bookshelf that you never noticed before, or even a car that is mysteriously hanging from a tree in the middle of a forest. Sometimes we can be surprised by the most atypical things and come to the conclusion that life is full of bewilderment.

Around 40% of millennials won’t stay with the wrong person just for the sake of keeping their long-term relationship, according to a Tinder survey. Sometimes it’s better to let go of the person you’ve been dating for a long time if you notice that your relationship doesn’t make you happy or, even worse, makes you feel uncomfortable and depressed.

Maybe you have been dating for a few weeks, months, or even for a few years, but deciding the right time to get married can become a challenge. In fact, there isn’t one “ideal” time to say your vows, but each life period can bring advantages and disadvantages depending on your and your partner’s goals, personality, and experience.

Breastfeeding babies provides them with real-time immunity against bacteria and viruses. That’s almost like a real-life superpower that moms have! Being a mom is, by all means, not an easy job, and sometimes things get overwhelming. Here at Bright Side, we respect moms all around the world, and would like to show you that even though it might be tough being a mom, they’ll always be special to us.

The internet has become part of the daily lives of many people, and that of course includes celebrities. Millions of fans follow their favorite artists on social media and give them a “like,” a comment, or share everything they do. However, there are celebrities who think that fans don’t really need to know every little thing that happens in their life, which is why they don’t go on social media. Of course, they did not make that decision on a whim, they have reasons that even help them lead a better life.

While it may be true that society has made us feel negatively about what has been deemed a sign of aging, the reality is that if we’re lucky, it’s an experience everyone will deal with at some point. These celebrities are great examples of people rocking their natural grey.

There’s no doubt that staying hydrated is crucial for your health, but most people don’t know that drinking lukewarm water can offer some exclusive benefits for your body and skin. In fact, medical experts say that water is most beneficial when you drink it warm, and the perfect temperature is somewhere between 120°F and 140°F. Considering how much money we spend on expensive beauty treatments, we don’t give enough credit to something as simple as drinking water the right way.

Much has been said over the years about the best methods or ways of parenting, about what to do or not to do, and about how beneficial or counterproductive certain things can be. The fact is that attachment, that is, the creation of a solid and affectionate bond with our children, is not just a requirement, but actually a necessity for them, as well as for us as parents.

There is a one in 135 chance that you could find your identical doppelgänger, studies say. Some of our favorite celebrities look so alike, that it seems they actually took a chance and discovered their lost sibling.

Genetics is extremely peculiar. Sometimes, we find children who are photocopies of one of their parents and others who have a mixture of both parents’ traits. On occasions, siblings look a lot like each other. But sometimes, they don’t share many characteristics or they don’t even look like siblings. This is the case with the Willis sisters: One of them is the spitting image of her mother, Demi Moore, the other is a copy of her father, Bruce Willis, and the third is a mix of both of them.

Turns out now you can even get a description of yourself according to your blood type. Ketsueki-Gata, which appeared in Japan, is basically a blood type personality theory. If you’re considering what kind of job to get or who to date, just see what your blood advises you to do.

20-30 years ago, our parents had no access to books about raising kids or online seminars for psychologists and teachers. Children were raised intuitively, very often based on their parents’ experience. This is why there’s nothing surprising about the fact that many values our parents thought were immutable are actually not. And these rules really puzzle us today.

The record of famous actors who share the profession with their parents or their children is endless. This is why it’s not rare that some of the relationships portrayed on-screen actually exist and are faithfully represented in the stories. We may think it’s tough for us to bring a character to life with our brother or father right there. However, the artists on this list have shown that they’re capable of removing their personal lives from the fiction they are portraying, so that the public hardly notices that they belong to the same family.

Some actors don’t hesitate to completely change their appearance in order to play a specific role. Whether it’s gaining several pounds or spending hours in hair and makeup, they build up the courage and patience because they’re up for anything.

The methods we use to raise our sons and daughters differ. Sometimes, these methods are affected by the stereotypical prejudices we use subconsciously. Boys are expected to be courageous, resilient, and brave. Girls, however, are told to be calm, cautious, and perfect. But this approach can negatively affect our kids’ futures.

73% of Americans believe in soulmates. And this is something more than romantic love. You can find this unbreakable bond with your partner, best friend, or even your pet. It’s just priceless when you need no words to feel comfortable and full of joy together.

“You should get married otherwise you’ll be a cat lady forever.” This is what most of us have been told at least once. Women tend to come under attack more often than men. If you imagine, say, the life of a single elderly lady to be a real cat nightmare, you are mistaken. Turns out you can have it pretty good.

Fashion changes extremely fast and keeping up to date is a challenge. We get used to some of the trends and we don’t want to let them go even if some of the things we wear make our entire look seem cheap. The fashion of yesterday can make us look like retro fans whether we mean to or not.

Sweating can be very annoying — bacteria can stick to it and make you smell bad, and if you don’t clean your face after sweating, you might get pimples. You also need to wash your hair often if you sweat a lot, even though frequent hair washing isn’t necessarily good for you. So it’s easy to assume that all of these troubles would go away if you just didn’t sweat anymore. But there are pros and cons to your body stopping this important process.

Most of us have experienced waking up in the middle of the night, only to realize that our arm or hand has gone numb or has “fallen asleep.” Sometimes, we also feel a prickling sensation, as if tiny “pins and needles” are piercing through our skin. The medical term for this is paresthesia, but why does this happen, and is it something that we should be concerned about?

Mothers are “all in” when it comes to their child’s well-being. But you would be surprised to find out how many things can have an impact on your bundle of joy during pregnancy. That’s why we should be cautious about which kind of habits we adopt, since they can have a long-term impact on our child.

The creatures with whiskers and tails, and that are also huge fans of boxes, still remain a big mystery to their owners. Their anatomy and behavior really interest scientists, and almost every year, they discover new amazing facts about cats.

Just recently, messengers, video calls, and even Wi-Fi seemed like something extraordinary, but these days, you won’t surprise anyone with a voice assistant, a robot vacuum, or a smart TV. But thanks to them, funny things can happen to us every day since it takes time to get used to such technological innovations.

The heroines of our article proved that you don’t have to visit a makeup artist to look cool. They can do everyday makeup in 5 minutes, draw perfect wings, or do their wedding makeup with no problems. And they are so great at it, that it’s not even shameful to boast about it.

Being a celebrity nanny can seem like a dream come true. Traveling with your favorite singer or actress and their family sounds like something interesting, and you’ll likely have fun anecdotes to tell your friends. However, not everything about this job is roses and sunshine. People who want to apply for this job must go through a series of very complicated tests and meet several requirements, and some of them are very peculiar.

When an object is old or no longer useful, its final destination, sadly, is almost always the trash. But for some people, throwing things away just like that is not an option. Vintage objects have a special charm about them, which is why they sometimes end up transforming into different items, proving to be just as useful as when they were first made. And other times, these items are simply given a new look after a good renovation session.

A study conducted in the US showed that we lie 11 times per week, while another one revealed that 60% of people will lie during a 10-minute conversation. As it turns out, lying through your phone is much easier than doing it face-to-face. But on the other hand, e-mails seem to be the most honest form of communication, where people lie the least.

Since the first evidence of marriage appeared in 2350 BCE, nothing has changed. Weddings are still a special moment in life for 2 loving hearts. This day is full of love and happiness, despite the time or era. And wedding photos from different decades prove this perfectly.

Hayley Garnett, a blogger and a mother of 3 kids, was asked, “Do you ever get stuck in a cycle of comparing yourself to your past self?” She responded, “Probably, yes. Especially if your body changed a lot after childbirth. That can make you feel frustrated and exhausted, but such things get so insignificant when your husband says that he loves you even more after you gave him a baby.”

Monsters don’t always look like Godzilla or sharks from Jaws. Sometimes they keep their washing liquid in an old milk carton, install 6 shower controls in the bathroom, eat all the Oreos, leave the filling in the package, or pay rent with $1 dollar bills. If this all sounds familiar, don’t get upset. Instead, take a picture, have a laugh, and share it with the world as these Reddit users did.

You may feel surrounded by a lot of information claiming to “guide” you on how to become “healthier” or “happier,” promising to add “more” to your life. We suggest not believing everything that you hear or read. Some myths are just this: myths. Display reasonable doubt when something seems too crazy to be true or, even better, do your own research and see what’s suitable for your own body and mind.

Some children could steal Brad Pitt’s role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), about a child who was born with the appearance of an older person. Their looks and attitude perfectly capture the essence of a grandpa who loves playing bingo. These tiny seniors surprise even their families, who often decide to share them with the world.

Approximately 275 million people suffer from anxiety worldwide. Stress is another problem because, for around 75% of people, it affects their physical and mental health. Therapists can help deal with these issues and the negative effects they have on our lives. However, apart from long-term solutions that require a lot of commitment, there are also some things we can do on our own to help us feel better right away.

There are no 2 people with the same fingerprints. Even our furry friends have unique prints on their toe beans and noses. But some animals are twice as lucky because it seems that nature loved them a bit more than the others when creating them. How else can we explain cute hearts on their fur or neon scales on their skin?

Some people have such good eyesight that they can find a mistake in the smallest of details with such skill they make us wonder if they have error detection glasses attached to their eyes. Then, there’s another group of individuals, perhaps yourself, who know someone with error detection glasses but don’t know it yet.

Fans love seeing photos of their favorite celebrities and appreciate it when they’re doing something special and unique in them. Today, we’re focusing on celebrities who decided to recreate some of their most iconic pictures, either some time ago or recently. These can be from a movie still, their childhood, or any other important moment in their lives.

Harry Styles is often called one of the best-dressed celebrities, and there’s a reason for that. The musician loves to stun the public with his bold fashion choices, and we often see him stepping out in brightly colored outfits, ruffled blouses, floral suits, shirts with lace collars, and strings of pearls. But Styles has not always been such a sharp dresser, and his passion for fashion started with simple outfits, similar to the kind many of us have in our own closets.

The relentless pursuit of renovating ourselves and having the latest and trendiest stuff has driven us to throw away things that are in perfect condition and still work. Dumpsters are full of these authentic gems that end up becoming someone else’s prized possession. As the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Fatigue, nausea, and reflux are some of the symptoms a woman can expect to have during certain stages of her pregnancy. What she may not expect is that her partner could possibly also develop some of these, all the more so because men cannot get pregnant. But even if that’s the case, men can actually experience some of the discomforts that women have when pregnant. In fact, not only is this a fact, but it’s much more common than what you might think.

If we’ve learned anything from school, it’s that classrooms are full of very contrasting personalities. Among our classmates, we’d find the most brilliant student and the laziest one. We even shared desks with the class clown who made us laugh but was undoubtedly a pain for teachers.

It’s impossible to argue with the fact that all jobs are important. We see people specialize in different things every day. They could be doctors, school teachers, cashiers, or cleaners. All jobs contain things that outsiders have no idea about.

Dating can be tricky and confusing for a lot of people, but it seems that quite a lot of women have figured out exactly what they want and are looking for. Maturity, emotional stability, and wisdom are among the top things women look for in men. And this is precisely why most of them go for men who are a little older.

When we are going through a rough patch, either because our health isn’t great, because we’re facing some financial problems, or even because of the loss of a loved one, we may feel as if our world is falling apart. In these circumstances, receiving a small token of generosity or empathy can brighten our day and restore our faith in life and in human beings.

Sometimes things that seem ordinary at first glance may contain unique stories and memories about people and events. For this article, we created a list of things that people were lucky enough to inherit, gaining not just a new piece, but years of history as well.

Anya is a mother of 3 children from Russia. With her own example, she proves that motherhood is no reason to put self-development and creativity on the back burner. Anya finds time to draw comics, write poems, and even create music.

It’s actually pretty hard to find a decent and neat tenant. Sometimes potential tenants only seem nice during the first meeting with the property owner and they start to unfold their true personalities only after moving in.

Turns out, with enough talent, even stone can be turned into something as delicate as a feather. Some artists are so incredibly good at their job that their sculptures look so realistic you’ll have to touch them to make sure they aren’t.

Buckle up because we’re about to take a trip to memory lane. And we won’t be meeting any ordinary people. On this ride, you’ll get to know a grandma that used to be Einstein’s buddy, a family awarded by the Queen, a mom that is a famous singer’s doppelgänger, and everything in between.

Even though scientists insist that modern kids do not, in fact, grow up faster, and adolescence is prolonged from 19 well into the 20s, we still sometimes wonder if people from the younger generation somehow grow up faster than in the past.

Animal prints never seem to go out of style, and celebrities who are seen rocking zebra stripes and leopard spots in public on many different occasions prove it. Sometimes, choosing the animal print that suits you the best can be a tough challenge. But don’t worry: There are simple basic principles that can help you tame this fashion trend and look fabulous in animal print outfits.
