From allowing your dog on the bed and tucking them under the blanket to throwing a luxurious party on their birthday, it looks like there’s no such thing as “too much” when it comes to spoiling your beloved dog. The heroes of our article treat their dogs like family members and won’t miss a chance to make their pets’ lives more joyful.

It may seem like the red carpet looks of celebrities are exclusive and cost a fortune, but this is not always true. Some of the outfits we see on celebrities are bought from popular clothing stores, and they are not that expensive. Turns out, Natalie Portman, Beyoncé, Amanda Seyfried, Sandra Bullock, and many other famous women like buying from our favorite shops too, and they look gorgeous in their mass-market finds.

In search of food and shelter, many insects choose to settle down in your home because they can find a perfect place to live. Unfortunately, these unpleasant visitors can even harm you and your home. Some of them eat wood, fabric, and plants, others can cause food poisoning and infections. So it’s important to know what things in your home they especially like to try and get rid of or limit them.

A tree that blooms with different flowers after a lightning strike, mold that looks like a cartoon drawing, and even harvesting a banana so tiny that is smaller than a finger. The world’s biggest mysteries and revelations can be waiting for us just around the corner, and they never fail to impress us.

Many people still believe that a relationship is something that just happens to us. A survey showed that most people think soulmates exist. However, achieving long-lasting love isn’t usually easy, even when we meet the right person.

No one is perfectly symmetrical. Still, the more your face is proportionately balanced, the more attractive you seem to other people. This conclusion was made by researchers, but let’s try to figure it out by ourselves.

Let’s be honest — we all have weird habits. Some have a lot, others only have one — but it’s huge. Internet users decided to recall the unusual habits of their exes and ended up creating a big thread on Twitter.

We all know what Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, looks like, and her children are also quite recognizable. But let’s not forget that in this whole big world, there are other royal families who have the same status and privileges. And they’re also the proud parents of beautiful children.

We all vividly remember the roles that brought fame to these wonderful actresses. Some of these stars ignited right in front of our eyes. After all, it feels as if it was yesterday when we first saw Uma Thurman dancing the twist with John Travolta. And it seems it was just recently when we empathized with Nicole Kidman in the Bangkok Hilton flick.

The nose is one of the most noticeable parts of our face. That’s the reason why the way it looks often causes worry in people. Unfortunately, stereotypes about an ideal appearance have settled so deeply in our subconscious, it becomes difficult to perceive certain body features as an advantage, not vice versa.

Life is full of cool events, and sometimes they’re so impressive, the situation causes a storm of emotions. And you can’t express them with just one word. Therefore, you have to describe the whole picture of events or come up with a definition yourself.

When the cat starts throwing flirting glances while sitting in a frisky pose, or the dog rolls his eyes when another canine comes to visit, or you see that tired look a feline mother with multiple kittens gives you... All of these things lead us to believe that animals are much closer to us than we think, at least with their bright and sometimes hilarious emotions. And these Reddit users know this better than all of us!

There are many mysterious things around us that we have no idea how to use. This is especially common among kitchen appliances. People have created many things that make cooking and other household activities easier. The only problem is that we can’t immediately figure out how to use them.

Each of us has a special talent. For example, some lucky ones are born with a beautiful voice and become recognized as award-winning singers. Others have a special talent for sports, and some people can become experts at creating amazing things with their own hands. We’ll focus on this last group in this article, on the talented artisans who can take just about any object, apply their magical ability to it, and turn it into something wonderful.

Of course, we are all different. But there are a couple of things that are so typical to modern life, we have no other choice but to laugh at them with our friends. From trendy eating habits when people forgo carbs and dairy to new jeans that just don’t fit, these are the moments that artist and illustrator Sveta Dehtiar portrays in her comics. And her work is greatly appreciated by thousands of followers.

Today, we made a special compilation for you. It has some of the most challenging mathematical riddles that even some members of the Bright Side team couldn’t solve. So we’re using them to test your attention and logic skills. A tip before you start: analyze each image carefully because not everything is what it seems. Any detail, no matter how small, can be very important and make the difference between a correct and a wrong answer.

Scientists say we all actually have brown eyes thanks to the melanin present in the iris. Other colors happen due to light reflection and the way our brain perceives it. And if this is true, it’s time to return to some eyes to their “original” color — at least in photos.

Cutting bangs has the magical power of transforming a person’s entire face, and it can be an easy way to refresh your look. Sandra Bullock, Keira Knightley, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lawrence are just a few celebrities who took the plunge and cut their bangs at least once, and their faces looked so very different after they did it. If you’ve been thinking of changing something about your looks for a while, and changing hair color or cutting your hair short seems a bit too risky to you, try cutting your bangs.

We’re in a time period where tons of things are glamorized, especially on social media. Certain people and situations in life can make us feel bad about ourselves or cause us to engage in destructive behavior, even if these things are not bad themselves, per se. Identifying the toxic influences in our lives and taking steps to create boundaries or a life without them can improve one’s mental and physical health over time.

If a toddler is really good at manipulating, they may eventually make you eat chocolate for breakfast together with them. An Internet connection may be perfect everywhere except for the place you’re sitting at right now. Or perhaps your own salary is disappearing faster than you earn it. There are many ways life can disappoint us and make us laugh our heads off at the same time.

Sometimes the universe has a merciless sense of humor, and the heroes of this article had a chance to experience it firsthand. Some of them had to spend 7 days on the road just to eventually turn around. And others left a better parking space for their neighbors, only to get their own car broken. Then there are some people who purchased prepaid car washes and never got a clean car. These are just a few examples of the irony the universe dishes out to us.

In 2021, Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. From an early break-up to a record-breaking wedding, the couple managed to create a beautiful family together. And like every long-lasting couple, they have their own secrets behind their strong and happy marriage.

Prince William was the winner in the recent survey about which bald celebrity looks most attractive. This list also contains people like Jason Statham, Stanley Tucci, Patrick Stewart, and other favorites. That’s why we decided to recall how these celebs looked when they had thick manes. In any case, our tender feelings for each of them are not because of their beautiful hairstyle but because of their talent and charm.

Michael Zajkov is an incredible artist from Russia — one look at the magical dolls he creates will have you feeling both impressed and slightly startled — because of how realistic every one of his pieces looks. He has managed to gather over 1 million followers, who all closely admire his fascinating work process and art.

In the United States, about 2.5 million burglaries occur every year, with more than 65% of them being home invasions. A survey showed that 46.9% of the participants don’t have an installed security system. Also, 17.2% of the people asked said that they don’t lock their front doors while they are inside their homes. And while the latter doesn’t sound too bad, it can be very dangerous since 34% of burglars choose the front door as an entrance point.

If there is one proven way to make yourself feel better or smile that works every single time, it’s looking at adorable pictures. Whether it’s a kitten giving you the biggest smile or a puppy resting its little head on a shoe, these precious bundles of joy are always ready to make you feel warmth in your heart.

You don’t have to be a psychology guru to read people like books. General knowledge and the ability to watch people, analyze, and compare them are enough. Physical traits are like little keys that unlock people’s personalities. You can try reading the faces of your friends, relatives, or cats and see whether it works for you or not. Keep in mind that this article is written for entertainment purposes.

If you’ve never been embarrassed by children, it’s either because you don’t worry about what others think about you or you just don’t have children. The things that kids do can embarrass us at the worst moments. And, as the following stories show, the best thing you can do in these situations is to just laugh about it.

When we think about late 1990s — early 2000s music, so many great singers come to mind, like Eminem, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, and so many others. Livin’ La Vida Loca, Torn, and My Heart Will Go On are only a few of the hit songs that we played on repeat back in the day. Many of these songs can still find a place on our playlists today, but who can judge us when they’re evergreens?

The transition from childhood to adulthood can be a bumpy road. Many people undergo major changes in the process of growing up, and we all know this, mainly because most of us went through something similar in some way at least. But there are other people whose transformation was more like a metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. Just look at the photographic evidence they shared with the rest of us if you want to understand what we mean.

If childhood is the age of innocence, it is also the ideal time for parents to get creative and come up with fantastic stories to get their children to behave, or to stay quiet just for a minute. If you can relate to this, don’t worry, we’re not judging. But some of those “little lies” turned out to be so credible back in the day that kids believed them for a long time, and today they remember them with fondness and a bit of humor. The topic was discussed in a Reddit thread, where people started telling the most absurd lies their parents told them when they were kids and how they totally fell for them for a long time.

Cameron Diaz once said that she was not going to have a family and children just because they were expected of her. Then she got married, welcomed her first baby at the age of 47, and pretty much retired from acting. Other big stars, like Celine Dion and Freddie Prinze Jr., also chose to be at home with their families instead of being on stage or the silver screen.

Humans’ willpower can move mountains. From courageously taking hormones to change their gender to working hard to lose the equivalent of an entire person in weight — some people know just what to do to find complete happiness and accomplish it with incredible mastery.

We’re pretty sure while doing one of those thorough spring cleanings at home, when you were going through your stuff and checking to see what you can get rid of, that you’ve suddenly found something weird. You stumbled upon a strange object whose function nobody could figure out. You probably got the same feeling that you’d have if you came across a beautiful object at a second-hand shop and, because you liked it, you took it home, even though you have no idea what it was. Then it’s just there, mysterious, waiting for its real function to be discovered.

Many people would agree that knowledge gained during our school years can gradually disappear from our heads. While various stories, that are oftentimes in no way connected with the educational process, stay in our memory for a long time. Reddit users decided to feel nostalgic and talk about classmates whom they wouldn’t be able to forget even if they wanted to.

Cats walk the world on their own and this is no secret. They know no borders and there is nothing that they don’t assume is theirs. People have shared many stories about how they returned home and found a cat (even though they didn’t have a pet). The boldness of some kitties is simply irresistible — they steal our tasty food or ask us to let them in with an innocent look. It seems that living in 2 homes is the norm for any cat who is allowed to spend time outdoors. Has anyone ever seen a dog split their time between 2 homes?

Our ability to find things is connected with how we remember an object and what we see at that moment. So that’s why these types of games and quizzes can test your brainpower and, at the same time, entertain you.

Today we often plan to work a bit longer in our offices, tomorrow we plan a Netflix marathon, we’re too lazy to do grocery shopping, so we order food online. With all these modern gadgets we become incredibly lazy couch potatoes. It’s no surprise that our bodies start to panic and tell us that it’s actually time to take care of ourselves.

The color of our eyes actually continues to develop and change up until we are about 3 years old. However, it’s actually impossible for human eyes to be truly black in color. Our eyes just appear to be black due to lighting, because of the reflection of the clothes we’re wearing, or the use of colored contacts.

Colors that you pick on a daily basis can translate information to the world. For example, if you like to wear red clothing, you can be associated with being a dominant person. But there are more colors and they can affect your behavior and mood, and have an impression on others in different ways.

While an ordinary bed from a pet store is probably the only piece of “furniture” that many cats and dogs have, some people go farther and give their pets something truly special. Bunk beds, crocheted couches, camping tents, and even fully furnished rooms of their own — these are just a few exotic things humans buy (or even make themselves) to show their limitless love for their pets.

If there is something that distinguishes the members of the British royal family it is the way they use luxurious and shiny accessories as part of their daily attire. On many occasions, it is thought that the jewelry that the royal ladies carry with them is only meant to embellish their outfits, but that is definitely not the case when it comes to brooches. They go beyond being a simple adornment, as these objects have a meaning or origin that can be as important as the title held by the royals or the obligations they have to society.

In order to get good rest after a long day, we most often tend to wrap ourselves in a blanket, get into a comfortable pose, and fall asleep, forgetting about the rest of the world. But in order to completely restore our energy and preserve our beauty, it’s actually quite important to pay attention to the position of your body while sleeping.

One of the best compliments people like to receive is: “You look happy.” Compliments can be very powerful — they can make your day, make you smile, and sometimes even make your heart flutter. 37% of men reject compliments, as opposed to 52% of women, which goes on to prove that men love receiving compliments. The following tweets will show you how just one sentence said by a woman can make a man remember it for years and change their sense of self.

Inspiration for unique and remarkable tattoos can be found everywhere. You can use a weird drawing from your kid or the footprints of your bird. These little things just uncover your personality and help you remember the most valuable things in your life.

Your smile can make or break you. In fact, 94% of people said a smile is the very first thing they notice when meeting someone. And although most of us dream of having a Hollywood-worthy smile, many of us aren’t doing what it takes to get one. Besides drinking coffee and dark juices, there are more unexpected ways you might be staining your teeth without even realizing it.

It seems like we know absolutely everything when it comes to flying on a plane. There are clear rules and tips from different blogs and warnings that tell you not to do something, so you feel like there’s nothing else to learn. However, there are still some things that no one tells you, which can improve the quality of your flight significantly.

There’s something mesmerizing about a perfectly shaped burger bun, a symmetrically constructed road junction, untangled wires, and trimmed trees. Some of us prefer to just let things flow randomly and appreciate light chaos, but deep down, we’re all perfectionists that enjoy these kinds of photos more than popping bubble wrap or opening a fresh jar of Nutella.

We all have different hobbies, whether it be cooking, gardening, or hiking. Illustrator Leighton Luckey, for example, makes comics. The characters are people, animals, and sometimes even cogs in a mechanism, not always having the easiest time in life. But they’re so realistic and funny at the same time, that you’ll want to leave the comment: “I sooo can relate.” Trust us.

There is a lot of beauty in this world, and we all have eyes to see it. But sometimes, the eyes of a talented photographer can show us fascinating new angles of the world’s wonders. Japanese photographer Ryosuke Kosuge shows the fascinating simplicity, symmetry, and elegance of Asia through his lens, and we couldn’t be more shocked by the results.
