Typically, the unwanted growth of facial hair on women happens because of high levels of androgens (like testosterone) in their bodies. These strands aren’t necessarily dangerous to your health but you may want to remove them, and there are many options you can choose from, like electrolysis, laser removal, or waxing. But many of these techniques can be expensive and even painful.

No matter how much time has passed, there are things that never change. Like the fact that the Titanic sank or that the film adaptation of this story remains a major success that made millions of people cry in theatres. The movie is so good, it probably still affects many viewers to this day. But the truth is, aside from being tear-inducing, some things do change, like the actors who took part in this movie. What do you think they’ve been up to for the last 23 years?

Many of the dresses that celebrities wear on different occasions remain in the memories of fans for a long time and become a part of popular culture. But few people know that many of the outfits celebrities wear have their own unique stories attached to them.

For different people “reasonable expenses” can be defined differently: some people will stop getting manicures at a beauty salon to buy plane tickets and go on vacation, and others prefer good manicures to a 2-week trip to the beach.

We often hear that we can’t wear miniskirts after 30 because they make us look too frivolous. But this statement will become false as soon as we see the photos of celebrities who are older than 30 and whose short outfits look no worse on them than on their younger colleagues.

All of us love watching the romantic relationships of our favorite movie and TV characters blossom and we always hope their love stories will end in marriage and a house full of kids. And the actors in our favorite shows and films are so good in their roles, we can’t help but want their feelings to continue on in real life.

We’re so used to seeing cartoon characters in certain clothes that we barely ever think about what they would look like in other types of outfits. The artist with the nickname, Felice Xu, likes to dress Disney characters in casual styles and the results of her work impress, to say the least. She takes into account every small detail to make Disney characters’ new looks sparkle with modernity and at the same time, she manages to portray their true personalities. The artist has an Instagram page where she has almost 45,000 followers, all waiting on the edge of their seats for her latest masterpieces.

For every child, vocabulary and sentence structure are very important in the early years of development. One of the best ways to engage them in a deeper and more meaningful conversation is to start talking with them using detailed answers. Even researchers have pinpointed that working on developing better speech patterns helps children to become more successful in school.

It’s estimated that planet Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. From the beginning, nature has endured meteors, ice ages, raging volcanic eruptions... and it’s still here, and still doing well. In its urge to live, nature never ceases to amaze (and occasionally intrigue) us. We at Bright Side gathered a few examples showing how nature, in order to survive, can do things we wouldn’t believe were possible — until we saw them with our own eyes.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty, better known as Rihanna, is a singer, actress, businesswoman, diplomat, philanthropist, and writer who was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, 32 years ago (February 20, 1988). Rihanna had a difficult childhood with her parents, but she has never stopped trying to excel and improve herself. She soon became an award-winning singer and one of the most successful and influential women of the twenty-first century. Her life story and everything she had to face and overcome led her to create and help different social causes that demonstrate, repeatedly and in different ways, her humanitarian and philanthropic side.

Baking soda is one of those often ignored powerful allies that everyone has at home: we use it for cleaning, to disinfect food, and even for aesthetic purposes, but we can also use it to take care of our garden.

Those who have ever washed a pet are well aware of how difficult it can be. This is all because animals don’t consider such procedures to be pleasant — their scared looks and behavior perfectly convey the state of their souls at that very moment. But hygiene is important and that’s why today is the perfect day to remind you that scrubbing those soggy animals isn’t just about cleanness but having fun as well.

Today, it’s hard to surprise anyone with harsh scenes and unexpected plot twists. But 25 years ago, the movie Se7en made a small revolution in the genre of detective films, thanks to its mind-blowing ending, which, by the way, might not have happened.

Many people love to sleep, but can you imagine having no control over when you drift off? For example, what would happen if you fell asleep in the middle of a class, at an important dinner party, or even while in the middle of a conversation? It’s not your fault, even if others think it is, but your eyes suddenly close and sleep takes over your body. Adrian is a 19-year-old who suffers from narcolepsy, a disease that prevents him from having a regular routine like any other person. However, that hasn’t stopped him from fighting for his dreams.

Shampoo didn’t become a standard on our bathroom shelves until the 20th century. Before that, people relied on good-old soap, made of different natural cleansers. Unfortunately, soap doesn’t work well in the mineral-heavy water that we use. Yet, shampoo has a lot of weighty disadvantages that often make us look for better options.

Milena Diekmann is a 17-year-old self-taught hairstylist. She got a huge blast of inspiration, and hair, whether it’s blond or brunette, ginger or unicorn-colored, is the wonderful canvas where she creates bewitching patterns. The hairstyles that she does, resemble macramé, basket weaving styles, and even crocheted and knit patterns.

Shakira wrote her first poem when she was 4 years old, however, Einstein did not learn to speak until he was 4. Even if an IQ test above 130 does not reveal how successful a person will be, this is the case just for only 2.5% of the population. Among them, some are renowned artists who have not succeeded academically, but who’ve totally won on the stage or the catwalk.

Sometimes our eyes can trick us. We may think we’re seeing one thing but when we take another look, we realize that what we saw was completely different from reality. Smiley faces on objects, optical illusions, and misleading designs are some everyday examples of this visual trickery.

There are some animals that have superpowers — and geckos have several! Starting with their sticky toe pads and their ability to cling to walls and ceilings, ending with their exceptional nocturnal color vision. When people see this animal in their garden, many want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t do this.

Last year, a 4-year-old child in Somerset, New Jersey saved her mother’s life after finding her unresponsive and calling the police. This just goes to show you just how important knowing how to deal with an emergency, as well as other life skills, can really prove to be for children. This article will cover how to teach kids to remain calm and positive in certain situations, defend themselves, manage their time, and much more, and this can one day say their lives or somebody else’s.

Eric Roberts entered the world of cinema in 1978 when he starred in his first big movie, King of the Gypsies, and since then he has taken part in more than 400 movies and TV shows. Vanity Fair magazine called Roberts “the hardest-working man in Hollywood” and it looks like he’s really doing his best to stay on top and keep his fans happy with his unforgettable roles and brilliant acting chops.

As the saying goes, if there is a will, there is a way! There is no magical pill, nor a magical food that will automatically help you lose weight over a span of time. Since it is a fight of wills between the mind and the body, there are enough obstacles out there that will try to encourage you to diverge — unless you are very inspired.

Buying things online, ordering food delivery, or just going shopping may discourage you when expectations don’t meet reality. Sometimes a product, a service, or something you made yourself looks so absurdly different from your expectations, that you may want to laugh and cry at the same time.

The German Shepherd is one of the most popular and beloved dog breeds in the world. And the reason for this is not only our sincere love for the TV series Kommissar Rex. German Shepherds are very well-rounded dogs — they are excellent companions, hard workers, reliable protectors, and caring nannies for children. And they also have a special secret weapon — when you see a German Shepherd puppy with its little ears and its inquisitive gaze that screams “intelligence,” you give your heart to this dog breed forever.

There are so many people who think about changing their profession, but who at the same time keep doing a job they don’t like day after day. The fear of starting everything from the beginning or making a mistake, and the pressure from those around us, discourage even those who have a high chance of becoming successful in a new field. Luckily, there are brave ones who find enough strength to leave the work they are tired of despite everything and start doing what they really like.

Every day we have a million tasks to complete: parking a car correctly, getting a doctor’s appointment, feeding our cat or dog at the right time, deciding what to wear, and even finding the right words to calm an irritated person down. And many of these tasks require quick, logical decisions and the proper use of our memory. So how can we train our mental skills to become great decision makers?

Are you sure you know the people who chat with you on social media and messenger? If you don’t see an actual person, it could actually be anyone who is texting you. The writer Anton Freedland in his story called Algorithm showed a dialogue that will make you think about this on a deeper level.

Hi! My name is Anna Fedorova. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, got my education in Germany, and then I worked as a German language teacher and as a translator. Now I live in Istanbul, and I’m doing my postgraduate studies to get my law degree.

Though humans are at the peak of evolution, their bodies are still quite fragile. Forces of nature, other living organisms, and our own mistakes can all ruin our lives in an instant. But the good news is that the most critical situations are solvable if you act correctly. And today, we’re going to find out just what we need to do if an emergency occurs.

The Mayan civilization is one of the most amazing, mysterious, and at the same time one of the most attractive populations who have ever lived on our planet. The peculiarities of this civilization attract scientists and ordinary people, as it left many questions that have been waiting for answers for centuries. And the smartest people in the world are still racking their brains, trying to figure out their secrets.

Each of us has asked our parents weird questions as kids. Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? Why are stars big, but we see them small? What will happen if I swallow a watermelon seed? Will it grow inside me? Though we have grown quite a bit since then, there are still some similarly strange but curious questions that tease our mind. And the answers to them seem almost mystical and unreal.

We, owners, take very good care of our pets. We protect them, give them food, play with them, and adore them. But sometimes, our pets do things that make us doubt who the real owner is in the relationship. They might even do something that no one else would be able to do.

Nobody knows what the first person who tried to dip French fries into a milkshake was thinking. But thanks to these experiments, we have this so-called food pairing — the art of combining the tastes of foods that seem impossible to combine.

Sometimes you just want to relax and stay far away from the kitchen. So you dress up and head out to a restaurant to enjoy some delicious food or maybe you just grab a quick bite at a cafe because even that’s better than standing over a stove. However, sometimes we receive our order and suddenly realize that it was probably a better idea to stay at home and finish that pasta leftover from yesterday.

This is not the first time that an Asian appearance happened to be at the peak of popularity. In the 1950s, wide cheekbones and narrow eyes with cat eyeliner drove both men and women crazy. Alla Ilchun, who was half-Russian, half-Kazakh became the trendsetter for Asian appearance. She was Christian Dior’s muse and his happy talisman, but she was also lucky that the famous couturier made her his fashion model.

When hearing the word “Croatia” we instantly imagine luxury beaches with golden sand, the azure sea, and the sound of the surf. However, that’s not the full list of things that this country could surprise us with. A closer look at it reveals details that may not be written in the guidebook.

If you want to find the owner of a lost iPhone or you want to keep your credit card safe, there are simple ways to do this. By just tweaking the little things, you might end up saving time and even feel more relaxed. We can never get enough good tips that can make our everyday lives easier.

It would probably be difficult to find a person who has never heard of Marie Tussaud and her wax sculptures. Her wax museum has become one of the chief places of interest in London that, like a magnet, attracts tourists from all over the globe. Looking at the wax statues of celebrities and judging whether they manage to grasp the features of the original or not is a kind of entertainment that many London visitors enjoy.

Year after year we may think we have enough life experience and that nothing in the world could ever surprise us. But then a curious thing happens to you for the first time, like buying Doritos full of seasoning instead of chips or learning that Rolex watches have different versions of Roman numerals.

Sometimes when we watch cartoons or read our favorite online comics, we wish the characters could exist in real life, especially when they’re adorable animals. Yee Chong, an artist from Malaysia, certainly didn’t waste his talent and created a little furry friend for himself that seems very real.

In March 2020, American singer Katy Perry released her new music video “Never Worn White.” But the song wasn’t the best surprise for her fans. At the end of the video, she revealed that she and her partner, actor Orlando Bloom, were expecting their first baby. They finally got to meet their baby girl and share this happy news with the world.

There are many mysteries in the world, and the cartoons that we all remember from our childhood are no exception to this rule. You have probably questioned some of them more than once. For instance, what is there at ground level in The Jetsons, or why does Garfield hate Mondays? Some of the most frequently asked questions have been answered by the creators of the series or by people who took part in its production. On the other hand, others have remained pure speculation that makes sense but that no one has been able to confirm so far. And of course, some others are just unresolved, pure and simple.

There are some couples that seem like they’re a match made in heaven. But they aren’t the only ones who got lucky to have found each other. It’s also the people around them who get to share their radiating love, be happy for them, and dream of finding a perfect match for themselves.

Clutter in our homes can actually make us feel stressed out and helpless. Excess knick-knacks on the shelves, postcards, lots of mugs, old clothes, and even tubes with cosmetics can fill our minds with too many stimuli. This forces our visual, tactile, and other senses to be constantly working, never letting us rest.

Thomas Edison was way ahead of his time with his ingenious creations. Some of his works were his own inventions, while others seriously improved the devices developed by other researchers. From batteries for electric cars to a mysterious “spirit phone,” each of Edison’s devices stirred the public’s imagination and brought science and technology one big step closer to progress. No matter what Thomas Edison created, he always tried to solve practical problems and make our lives more comfortable and enjoyable.

Old things can often look both primitive and genius at the same time. Without the technology of today, people used to make things that we don’t even understand how to use now. Some users found these things and shared their pictures online.

Petra is an ancient city, carved into rocks. It is located in the country of Jordan — most of which is covered in deserts. Getting to this unique object is no easy task — it is only possible to do through a narrow canyon. But this doesn’t stop tourists.

If you’ve ever bought your cat a fancy cat bed or an expensive cat tower, you’ve probably found your cat chilling in the Amazon box that came with the bed or tower instead. Kitties simply can’t seem to resist squeezing into narrow places or boxes so much so that there’s a “If I fits, I sits” meme. There are actually a few possible reasons for why they just adore these little nooks, according to experts.

By getting a pet, you buy yourself a ticket to life with an enormous amount of love, care, and adorableness. So if your pet falls asleep holding your finger, crawls into your arms to hide from thunder, or even just smiles at you preciously, take a shot and share it! It will not only preserve your sweet memories forever, but it will also make someone else happy if you post it online.

We’re used to thinking that cold showers can give us a boost of energy and help wake us up in the morning. But showering in chilly water has a number of beauty benefits as well. Taking short showers with cold or mildly cold water is an easy go-to beauty trick that can have an incredible impact on your skin.
