Bright Side

Perhaps each of us has been in a situation where we had to prove to our loved ones and friends that we have a totally different eye color than they thought. After that, our confused friends and relatives ended up staring at our eyes for a long time wondering when our eyes turned green, while they used to be blue and convincing us that we must’ve been hiding behind colorful lenses.

Being in a relationship might not always resemble a romance movie filmed in Hollywood. But if we truly love our partners, we learn to cherish even their flaws and imperfections. That’s why Amanda Oleander, a gifted artist from Los Angeles, decided to show the world that a healthy relationship can also have moments that are not picture perfect. In her delightful illustrations, Amanda depicts the many faces love can have.

Would you have ever thought that underground palaces, dance salons, immersive sci-fi sites, disco night moods, or museum-like structures, could be just one step into the earth away from you? It’s true. And for many of us, they are free to use on a daily basis. Metro stations might have the bad reputation of being dark, dirty, or loud, and maybe most of them are exactly that. But the exceptions can be breathtaking.

Changing the color of your hair, the shape of brows, or simply applying makeup in a different way — even the smallest changes can affect the way we look. And that means feeling differently too. Researchers have found that dyeing your hair, for example, can influence your self-image, bring psychological satisfaction, and even release stress.

Talking about love, people usually think of romance, but the research showed that non-romantic love can increase your happiness and satisfaction. From grandmothers baking cookies for their family to adults cherishing their animal friends, the best things in life are free.

We’re so lucky to live in a time where photography exists. Sometimes, the power of some photos is so strong that even the greatest storyteller alive couldn’t quite depict just how remarkable they are. An infant going into a fetal pose while napping, a 15-minute-old lamb taking its first steps with a smile on its face. Yep, we’re indeed privileged to enjoy the perks of photos.

Sometimes, we get to see some astonishing perspectives of nature and day-to-day objects. Shapes that line up impeccably, symmetrical flowers, and amazing gradients are just a few examples that can satisfy our need for perfectionism. We stumbled upon some of these things that are so perfectly lined up and organized, they will make you feel incredibly comfortable.

Here and there, the universe likes to decorate our lives with sparks of magic and hope. This can happen when we witness someone do a good deed without expecting anything in return, or when we see unconditional love getting expressed by a sudden unexpected gesture. It can also be seen when animals spread joy around them, simply by being adorable. The world is full of moments that are made of warmth, we just need to notice them.

Companies often use some intricate marketing tricks to make us buy more, and one of them is creating the impression that this product has a limited number of copies. But some goods don’t need to be advertised in such a tricky way because they already have a useful “Easter egg” that makes us all say, “Shut up and take my money.”

Every now and then, the Universe loves to remind us not to blindly trust our eyes. Whether it’s the result of an odd perspective, perfect timing, or just a coincidence, some things aren’t really what we think of them at first. When we take our time to inspect them closer, there are objects that would totally surprise us and remind us that small details can make a huge difference.

Many of us learned to behave when we were children. But the people of this article had to interact with someone that missed all of these classes.

To imagine that the legendary film Casablanca has a geographical inaccuracy in one of its scenes seems unusual. However, considering the era of the film, it is understandable. Now that we can use the internet and access so much information so quickly, you might be tempted to think that films are very accurate when it comes to history and geographical details. And you might just be surprised to know that’s not the case.

Some designs are a little bit too outside the box for us common folk. They can be nightmare-inducing, like an animal plushie with realistic human teeth, and they even defy the laws of physics, like an upside-down house. But, the truth is, these eccentric creations never fail to capture the world’s attention and even the hearts of some people.

There are people who think it’s easier to do something once instead of trying it many times. And sometimes they make cakes to express their feelings and ideas.

The positive effects of marriage are twice as strong on people who marry their best friend, according to a study. But that doesn’t mean sharing a life with them is always easy.

At times, pets can be so smart and human-like, we start to doubt whether they are actually animals.

You can fake your smile to raise the feeling of joy in your body, scientists claim. But there are so many mood-boosters that can actually help you feel better and experience sincere emotions.

There has been a research project that showed how, in some cases, children can solve problems easier and faster than adults. And that happens because kids don’t draw examples from their experience in their effort to solve problems. That’s simply because they don’t have the kind of experiences that adults do. Instead, what they do is make unlikely hypotheses, simply following their instincts.

Some things have immense power over our emotions. An autistic boy cuddling his dad the same way for 19 years is a great example of that. When moments like these are captured by a camera lens, they speak directly to our heart. We can go from tearful to cheerful in a matter of seconds.

All people tend to do certain things the same way, with a method that was shown to them by someone else.

That’s because there’s a chance you won’t gain anything, and your comfort level will decrease significantly.

Seeing a masterpiece can be a truly special experience. Whether they’re handmade or a gift from Mother Nature, some things reach the peak of beauty thanks to their flawless shape and balanced colors.

We all know that nothing good can come for free. But it is hard to know if you paid too much for something. A Reddit user asked this question, “What scam is so normalized that people don’t even notice?” And many of their responses surprised us.

Most often, our rings and earrings are not just pieces of jewelry but items that hide a whole story. Some thoroughly choose the very bracelet that will reflect their individuality, while others inherit their valuables. And then there are those who make jewelry themselves.
