Bright Side

If you’re left-handed, it may sometimes seem like the whole world is conspiring to make your life so much harder. From walking into a classroom full of right-handed desks to trying to open a can without turning things into a complete disaster, there are so many little details that remind us, once again, that this world wasn’t designed for lefties.

India is famous for its unique culture and cuisine. It’s a great place to visit and change yourself with new incredible experiences and emotions. But not many of us ever gave a thought as to how many significant Indian inventions we use every day without even noticing it. USB ports, passports, and even shampoo — we should thank Indian people for all these magnificent things.

The Sun Salutation, known as the Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit, is a set of 12 repetitive asanas said to come with a number of health benefits. For example, the inverted poses like the downward dog can help better blood flow and circulation. It’s a superb exercise, one that can be done minus any equipment, and one that can be modified for any age and proficiency level. And while much of yoga is steeped in legend, we bring you some scientific proof to our claims.

It is fairly common in Japan to see moms carrying their babies on their backs. In fact, it is likely that you’ll see 4 out of 5 women lugging babies on their backs, oftentimes held in place by the hands of the holder crossed behind themselves. Or you may see the child riding in a carrier.

Any woman who has ever tried to find a perfect bra probably knows how many types and options of this wardrobe element are out there. Though, despite the abundance of choices, many women around the world wear the wrong bra size. While it may seem that an ill-fitting bra is not that big of an issue, continuously wearing one that’s too small or too big can seriously affect one’s health.

While watching Game of Thrones, some questions about the plot or costumes may come up. For example, why does Daenerys change the color of her capes? The answer is: the costume designers use color to reveal her hidden emotions.

Even the best and most expensive beauty products can totally mess up your look if you don’t use them correctly. Your high-quality face powder can make you look like a ghost, and it might seem like a black hole swallows your shampoo bottles. Some habits are passed down from generation to generation, so we don’t even question them. Luckily, we can fix that once and for all in a few minutes.
