When you start to feel that life is getting boring, just go outside and take a look around. There’s a big chance that there will be something you didn’t notice before. This world is full of pleasant and amusing things that can simply rebuild your routine.

Although it seems like fashion trends have never been as diverse as today, classic glamour somehow always finds its way into the spotlight. The fact that some of the most stylish celebrities recreate the retro style from time to time proves that old-school elegance will never go out of fashion.

When we’re kids, we smile about 400 times a day, and this number decreases to 40 times a day in adulthood. One study found that women who smiled the most in their yearbook photos experienced fewer setbacks and went on to lead happier lives in the following 30 years. Similarly, baseball players whose smiles were the broadest lived, on average, 7 years longer than those that smiled the least.

Sometimes even a small phrase, or an unconscious act from kids, can make adults cry with laughter or with tears of tenderness. Children’s thoughts and gullible acts reflect the purity and simplicity of their soul. And if you think that it’s solely the adult’s responsibility to teach kids life skills, these little angels surely have qualities that we can learn from them.

Our brain is like a detective — always looking for a new mystery case to crack. And even though it has a natural impulse to look for solutions to make our everyday lives easier, sometimes even masterminds can find themselves at a crossroads. That’s why there’s always the internet we can turn to and find solutions to our problems.

Most of us would agree that modeling is a difficult job, but these children of famous celebrities were able to prove otherwise and they do it flawlessly. They’ve astounded the industry with their simple beauty and a fashion sense that resembles their parents’ confidence and wit. We at Bright Side, compiled photos of popular celebrities’ children who went on to become successful models. Take note that they rocked it.

Feeling love or even showing it to others may result in a huge shift in our lives, as this exchange of pure and genuine emotion is directly connected to happiness. And while it’s valuable to use words to express the feelings we hold deep in our hearts, it’s important to know that there are plenty of other ways to show affection to those dear to us.

There are moments in the life of every woman when irony and sarcasm boil over, and there’s not always someone around to appreciate the sharp and witty joke.

Contrary to popular belief, optical and visual illusions are completely different from each other. Optical illusions are tricks of the light, whereas visual ones are those happening in our brain. Most of the time, despite knowing the truth behind the images that trick us, we still fall for them and our brains enjoy this process because it turns our reality upside down.

For some people, tattoos are a great way to preserve memories. Looking down and seeing a picture of your pet or a loved one is comforting. But as with every situation, tattoos can also go wrong, resulting in a permanent but also humorous accident. At Bright Side, we enjoy seeing people make the most out of an unfortunate situation, and this compilation of tattoo regrets is just that.

Having children in our families is a life-changing experience for everyone involved. It’s true that kids throw a lot of challenges our way, but the fact that they also are an essential source of joy and entertainment is undeniable. Their pure souls, innocent thoughts, and vivid imaginations are what we all need sometimes to escape from the real world into a carefree, fantasy bubble.

Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Chanel, Gucci... These brands sound fancy and expensive, but you can actually buy them for as cheap as just a few dollars. The heroes of our article know this for sure, because they managed to find clothes and accessories from luxury brands in thrift stores at more than affordable prices.

Among the things we find most fascinating about humans is our way of showing love. Some use words of affirmation. Others buy expensive gifts to show how much they care. However, few use their hands and put their heart and soul into crafting handmade gifts for their nearest and dearest.

Those who keep up their sense of humor through all kinds of experiences can boost their resilience and improve their mental health, a study says. Thankfully, whether they know about this or not, tons of people still manage to have a positive outlook on life. Their posts on social media reflect that, and it’s inspiring and hilarious to see.

Young children throw tantrums because they are frustrated with their boundaries, or they are angry about being unable to get their way. Maybe their favorite pillow is upside-down, or their bedtime has come earlier than usual. Whatever the reason, kids never shy away from expressing their feelings, even if it means being perceived as highly dramatic.

There are a lot of people who achieve success before their 30s or 40s, but building a career can take a long time. In fact, working hard and believing in yourself for years often pays off, even if you can’t see it at the time. Having the courage to try something new when you are older is another level of inspiration and proves to us that it’s never too late to try something new. That’s why we, at Bright Side, have collected this list of actors who made it big later in life — to show that age really is just a number and success can happen at any age.

Most of us have been in a situation where we have witnessed something out of the ordinary, but we’re not always able to capture it on our phones. That’s because, the truth is, when you least expect it, life surprises you. And when you think you may be having a boring day, there’s always a reason to believe something exciting may be on the way.

Life is packed with beauty and joy. It only takes us to be open and ready to capture its little pleasures, and rejoice in the little moments of unexpected cheer that the universe throws at us every now and then. After all, the secret of a happy life is rarely found in high expectations, but lies in the continuous small treats.

A wedding is one of the most important days of any person’s life. Many brides want to make this day memorable and unusual. Some of them make their own wedding dresses, while others choose an unorthodox theme for the party and don’t sleep at night thinking through every little detail. Some wedding preparations take a lot of time and effort, but the results are usually worth it.

A memory was created the first time we took a photo, and recreating that moment is like reliving the same day. Every photograph is full of wonder and shows how we have grown and changed over the years. Looking at them makes us feel nostalgic, and we reminisce about those times when we brightened the world with our smiles.At Bright Side, we gathered photos from people who proved that memories can be brought up at any time.

Creating optical illusions without using Photoshop at all is a great skill. And many photographers, artists, and designers really do it using nothing but iron cables, mirrors, acrobatics, and scaffolding. They make viewers look at the same picture from different points, trying to figure out how it all was done, what magic hides at first glance, and why our brain still tricks us no matter how long we look at the picture.

Something as simple as chewing can make a big difference in our bodies and improve our overall health. The process of chewing up food mixed with saliva helps absorb all the nutrients we need more easily, which is why it’s best to chew your food slowly and thoroughly — about 32 times each bite. That goes to say that you are not only what you eat, but also how.

Inventors are always “cooking up” some new and useful gadgets to make our everyday lives easier. Whether they are created to save time, money, or simply calm our nerves, we don’t really know just how much we need some inventions until we try them ourselves.

You may have grown up with the belief that you’ll never get a job if you have tattoos. But there are some employers who actually prefer them. For example, bartenders have more chances of getting hired if they have a tattoo. But even if you’re not an avid tattoo fan and would never want to get one, looking at some really intricate styles can definitely trigger your best aesthetic feelings.

Some love stories are indeed written in the stars and this one just might be one of our favorites! Reid and Rafael met on a dating app and fell in love. But Reid didn’t know his life was going to be changed forever, for the better.

If the first thing you do right upon waking up is to reach for your cup of coffee, you may want to reconsider this habit. Although it might be hard to start the day without your morning coffee, drinking it before you eat your breakfast can lead to some pretty serious consequences, including high blood sugar levels and strong anxiety.

For some couples, marriage has 2 acts: the first, where the main actors are the partners themselves, and the latter, when kids enter the stage and steal the show indefinitely. Experts believe that without a loving home and a strong union, kids won’t thrive, therefore, putting them before your spouse can lead to marital problems, and in some cases, even divorce. A new mother asked people if they prioritize their marriage before their kids, and moms rushed to share their opinions.

According to the Guinness World Records, the most screen credits for a living actor is 857 acknowledged film roles. And even though portraying different people throughout a long acting career is impressive, only a handful of actors have the opportunity to portray several roles in the same film. And we must admit that it takes a special kind of talent and skill to be able to switch between 2 or even 20 characters on the set of a movie or series.

You don’t need to break the bank to live the life you want to live. Whether you’re struggling to buy new makeup products every year or are tired of dried-up nail polish, there’s always a hack that can save you lots of time and money.

If you are out of ideas on how to make your partner happier and more delighted, using the following hacks can make your relationship stronger. These strategies were taken from couples on the internet who gave some advice on how they strengthened their relationship, and it could easily be used in your everyday life without much effort.

We rely on our brain to process things around us, but it has plenty of weak points. Just by using a line pattern, it’s possible to create an illusion that will wind around your little finger. At first, it might seem like there’s nothing but lines, but if you look a bit closer, you’ll see what’s hiding beneath them.

Habits are always a hot topic: how to quit the bad ones, how to form new and good ones, how to track them, and why it all matters. Some of the most common mentions go to working out, nutrition, and self-talk.Here, at Bright Side, we became interested in the smaller habits that people don’t discuss that often. How do you break up your sleep? How impatient are you with your coffee? Here are some everyday habits that you might want to reconsider.

Deciphering challenging puzzles or identifying intruders in pictures is a very fun way of spending your time, although noticing the slightest changes isn’t always easy. This challenge is one way of improving your problem-solving and quick-thinking skills. Bright Side created a test to examine how observant you are by putting you through fun challenges. However, finding all the differences is no easy task. Do you think you’ve got what it takes?

Girls are often subjected to certain beauty standards that have been imposed for decades. No one can quite remember where these rules came from, but the truth is that more and more brave women are emerging who dare to question and break these barriers to free their femininity from the ideals of the past.

Plants can make us feel good both mentally and physically, and they add a touch of coziness to our homes. Yet, not many of us can spare time for quality plant care. The good news is that there are some low-maintenance plants out there. They are pest-resistant, require minimal watering, don’t care much about sunlight, and look perfect.

Every day, millions of plastics are produced, and we use it on a daily basis. But we can recycle items to create a new functional object that will benefit us in the long run or to make handcrafted gifts for our loved ones. This saves Mother Earth and inspires us to explore our creativity and save money while raising awareness.At Bright Side, we gathered photos of inventors who made useful things while producing no waste.

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, but if your teeth aren’t as white as you’d like, you may find yourself smiling less. Although there are many ways to whiten your teeth, some of the actions you’re doing on a daily basis might be causing your teeth to lose their luminosity.

Since we spend the majority of our time in the workplace, it goes without saying that job satisfaction is crucial in making employees happy and, consequently, more productive. Some bosses can make your life a living hell, while others are a pleasure to work with. Celebrities are no different.

Each of us has our own love language, which is basically how we prefer to express and receive love. But no matter what love language you subscribe to, one thing remains true — the small acts of love weigh much more than the grand gestures.Bright Side scoured the internet in search of proof that showing genuine affection toward your significant other doesn’t have to cost anything. All it takes is authenticity and consistency.

In the past, people would have paintings made to commemorate a certain person or moment in their lives, or even themselves. Nowadays, technology has made things way too easy and anyone can capture something dear to them. However, if you want to immortalize how much your family, friends, and pets mean to you, tattoos are the way to carry them close to you for life.

All we need on a bad day is for someone to understand us or help us, but what we get is often the complete opposite. In a recent thread on Reddit, users were sharing moments when they realized that people indeed can be caring, even if they don’t know you.

Having a pet is not an easy job sometimes. Like small children, they also require a lot of attention and time. But notwithstanding the “costs,” the benefits will be always higher because our animals light up our days just by their presence no matter how we feel.

Sometimes the story of a movie’s creation is more fascinating than the movie itself. Some actors would agree to play a small part and become famous. While others would turn down a cool project and never get another chance to play in something like this. And there are actors who refused parts in movies, but then changed their minds and hit the jackpot.

As the years go by, we learn to accept certain physical features of our body that we probably used to fight against. It would seem that we’ve always preferred what someone else has, and instead of just accepting ourselves as we are, we feel less confident. These users decided to go all in, and the result was amazing and gratifying.

We often feel happy or sad when clothes that were trendy 10 or 20 years ago come back into fashion again. But when creating a new collection, fashion designers are often inspired by trends that are centuries or even millennia old. So, the Sumerians decorated their clothes with fringe, and dresses with slashed sleeves were considered chic in the Tudor court.

Human creativity is at its best when the generated design not only strikes us with originality or pleases our eyes, but also serves a practical purpose. And it doesn’t necessarily take a world-renowned designer to blow us away with an offbeat creation.

Many magazines publish their own lists of the most attractive celebrities, but ordinary people don’t agree with these lists sometimes. The users of Reddit decided to make their own list of the most attractive celebrities.

There are some people who simply want to fit in, as well as those who like to embrace their individuality. And when this happens, we can’t help but appreciate their beauty and courage when going against the crowd. Whether you decide to ignore society’s expectations and let your grays shine or proudly show off the features you were born with, we admire you. Everyone is different and deserves to be proud of their looks.

Many feline experts agree that an adult cat’s intelligence is equivalent to that of a 2 to 3-year-old child. And dogs are close to a human child at age 2 to 2.5 years. It’s no wonder they behave like kids and ask for our attention like toddlers sometimes.

As many of us already know, we’re a victim of the cycle of fashion. Those past trends we promised ourselves we’d never wear again and removed from our closets always find their way back onto runways and city streets. And most times, celebrities are the ones sparking up these old fashion items into a new and edgier version.
