Purple, orange, green, and blue eye shadow, light pink and dark berry lipstick, and, of course, a lot of bronzer and blush — these are the wild makeup trends we went crazy about back in the ‘80s. To make their look even brighter, the fashionistas of the disco era put on huge golden and plastic earrings.

Drinking coffee on an empty stomach may increase the level of acid in the stomach and lead to bloating. Such researches are not new to us, but there are more habits that can ruin our digestive system and we’re even unaware of them.

Even a simple hug can be life-saving. Well, maybe not completely, but at least it has multiple benefits for our health. It’s hard to disagree since all of them are backed by science. So next time someone is hugging you, make it last a bit longer to absorb all the benefits better.

The human body is such a complex “machine” that scientists still don’t know much about it for sure. Like why we still do such odd and “useless” things like sleeping or even more pleasant ones like laughing. There are many speculative theories. Though many of the functions require less explanation and have been thoroughly studied a long time ago.

Many celebrities dedicate much of their time and efforts to certain foundations and fundraising campaigns. But more interesting are the more “minor” stories or gestures of goodwill that portray them as people who always seem to think of others. And, indeed, there are famous people who are in line for sainthood and are generous beyond belief.

Disney has been with us since we were kids and taught us lessons that we remember and even actually use in adulthood.

Using Photoshop, this actor, primary school teacher, and artist takes photos of himself and digitally adds each character in some of the most hilarious real-life scenes.Here at Bright Side, we appreciate creativity and have gathered some of Samuel’s most hilarious creations for you to see.

Living with someone and sharing every single moment of our day with them transforms that person into a co-star in our lives. We sometimes feel like we’re putting on a show full of funny improv and cheeky comebacks, especially when the youngest members are concerned. The thing is, no one knows us as well as our family does, and they certainly know how to tickle our funny bones.

A random act of kindness that leads to happiness is all that we crave after a long week. While some take a moment to enjoy such moments, there are a few people who captured doses of happiness to help make your day.

Many of us are familiar with the annoying feeling of tossing and turning at night. While getting enough sleep is absolutely vital for your health and overall wellbeing, many people find it challenging to fall asleep fast and wake up feeling recharged.

Fathers today are more present in their children’s lives, according to a survey. In fact, 63%-76% of the male respondents wished for more home-based and flexible working hours so that they could continue spending more time with their kids.

In the movie industry, there are certain characters, like Sherlock Holmes, Zorro, and Tarzan, that managed to obtain a status of universal cultural values. New films about them are being produced every 5-10 years, where the stories of the characters adapt to new modern realities.

Imagine looking at a picture, and realizing that you’ve been looking at it wrong the whole time. Those are the types of pictures that truly astound a person. And with the Internet being so vast, these pictures just keep coming, and they’re getting better and better.At Bright Side, we are still trying to decipher these pictures, so we hope they are going to be a challenge for you as well.

In 2011, 27 million pieces of content were shared online every day. Today, no less than 3.2 billion images are shared on a daily basis. It takes us a mere couple of seconds to snap a picture, and we’re not limited to a roll of film anymore. As a consequence, we snap pictures of everything, and sometimes we can’t keep them to ourselves.

It’s not just genes that people have to thank for their ability to not show their age, but it’s also their lifestyle.

After all, having a number one pick in your brood is not all that bad — if handled properly, that is.

Sometimes people don’t realize how big and diverse our world is, which means that we can’t know everything. For example, in Greece, the tradition calls for decorating a boat on Christmas instead of a tree. Now, not all people follow that tradition, but it’s something unusual that very few other countries know about. So no matter how well-educated someone is, they can’t know every little thing and detail about this planet.

Working hard to make our children happy is part of being a parent, and we’d all like to give them whatever they want.

Some of them prefer to keep their children grounded and raise them like ordinary people, while others don’t seem to care and adorn them with their wealth.

Growing older is one of the biggest gifts that life can give us. And right now, with huge changes that happen both in science and people’s consciousness, it is truly a wonderful period to experience.

There are many things celebrities can do to attract some extra attention on the red carpet.

Just like our faces, our necks age rapidly due to genetics and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays.
