According to some studies, people spend about 24 hours a month and more than 5 hours a week on cleaning. To reduce this time, you can employ some life hacks and create an interior design scheme that’s easier to clean.
We at Bright Side love original cleaning tricks and want to share some tips that will help to make your home cleaner.
Choose water-resistant and durable countertops.
After washing the dishes, there can still be a lot of water left on the countertop. If you don’t wipe it off in time, the surface will absorb the moisture and may even get ruined. To make the surface last longer, don’t be cheap about it — choose marble or granite. If you can’t afford such materials, it’s better to use tiles or some other really durable option. Ideally, the sink and the countertop should be on the same surface without any lines between them. This way, it will be really easy for you to wipe the water and dirt into the sink.
Put smooth tiles on the kitchen wall.
No matter how careful you are, grease from cooking food will still appear on the walls. And if the kitchen wall has a lot of different dips and patterns, the grease will be really hard to clean. If possible, choose smooth tiles — ones without seams are even better. Such tiles are way easier to clean. If you already have tiles on your kitchen wall, you can protect the surface with special glass.
Use simple handles on the furniture.
If your furniture has handles with a complicated design, lots of dust and dirt will pile up on them. In order not to spend many hours and tons of money replacing the handles, buy smooth-surface handles of simple colors. Also, while you’re at the store, touch all the handles there. Choose the ones where the least amount of stains are visible.
Get a garbage disposal for the sink.
There’s an opinion that garbage disposals are the next most useful thing in the kitchen after the dishwasher. And now, there are sinks with built-in disposals you can buy or you can get a separate device. It will protect you from clogged pipes and save you a lot of money.
Say “no” to textured floors.
Textured floors are cool and attractive — up until the moment you have to wash them. Dirt and dust get into the seams, so instead of just wiping the surface, you’ll have to spend time cleaning every seam. To avoid this problem, choose smooth floors. Different rooms require different surfaces in terms of water-resistance — don’t forget about that.
Buy furniture that reaches the ceiling.
How often do you clean the dust from under and above the furniture? Not much, right? Of course, the furniture that doesn’t have any space under it or above it won’t protect you from dust but it will reduce the amount of it that collects. Besides, such furniture looks very modern today. Avoid open shelves, if possible.
The surface of your walls should be washable.
Very often, people put wallpaper on their walls but not all of them can be washed. The thing is, the areas next to things like light switches get dirty very often, according to the Bright Side authors, which is why wallpaper that can be washed is the best choice.
Say “yes” to induction cooktops.
Housewives agree: induction cookers are much easier to wash than any other surface. They don’t get hot which is why pieces of fallen food don’t get burned. Even if milk drips on the surface, all you need to do is wipe it off.
Don’t use black.
The color black definitely looks great but it’s not all that practical. Dark surfaces look as if they attract more dust. This isn’t true, of course, but dust contrasts with the color black, so it’s really visible. When choosing your furniture, make sure you choose other colors, such as gray or brown.
Hide the toilet tank in the wall.
If possible, make sure that the toilet doesn’t even reach the floor — it will make it super easy to clean the dust around it. Also, hide the tank in the wall. It’s simple: no tank means no additional surface for the dust to collect on.
Choose furniture with removable cases.
When you choose your furniture, don’t forget about the fact that it needs to be practical. If possible, buy furniture with removable cases that you can take off and put into the washing machine to make the couch clean again. Also, buy a bed without a headrest. The fewer flat surfaces you have, the easier it will be to clean your place.
It’s better to cover all your shelves with glass.
Open shelves with a lot of small items in them look cool in photos but they’re not very practical in real life. A lot of dust builds up in there. Experts say that open shelving for a small apartment is a terrible idea because there will probably be a lot of not-so-pretty stuff on display. If you want to show your things to your guests, cover the shelves with glass. There will be way less dust behind the transparent glass doors.

We don’t hesitate to throw away expired food products, because we know that they can harm our health. But in fact, our house is full of other things that should be put into a landfill, and we don’t even realize it.
We at Bright Side decided to go through our houses, and we found out about 15 things that it would be better to get rid of sooner than we used to think was necessary.
Mascara
Eye makeup products have the shortest shelf life. When mascara is applied, bacteria from the eyelashes end up on the brush, and every time we use it, there are more and more of them. Experts advise changing mascara every 3 months, as longer usage of this product may lead to an eye infection.
Foundation
On average, a foundation can be used for about a year, and we should consider the storage conditions and the composition of the product. But the foundation in a container that is supposed to be applied with a sponge, or even with your fingers, may become unusable after 6 months. This happens because when you apply it this way, germs enter the product which could lead to acne and other skin problems.
Hair ties
Cloth hair ties might damage your hair if you use them for too long. If the elastic band has stretched a little or its integrity is broken, it can expose the rubber part, cling to the hair, and the hair may begin to break.
Wet wipes
Disinfecting wet wipes can generally be stored for up to a year after opening, although it might depend on the brand. After that, they lose their antibacterial properties. However, if they’ve been improperly stored, you should get rid of them even earlier. Preservatives in this product get destroyed if it’s stored in conditions that are too hot or too cold, and there have been times when wipes have become contaminated with bacteria or mold.
Detergent
Washing gel detergents retain their properties for 6 months after opening the bottle. Washing powder can last much longer if it’s not exposed to moisture. A slimy and lumpy powder will no longer be as effective as a dry one.
Toilet brush
This inconspicuous item can be kept in a house for years. However, even with a weekly cleaning of the brush, you need to understand that it won’t be possible to get rid of all bacteria on it, which means that it won’t be as effective. You need to change the brush when its bristles get deformed or begin to turn yellow.
Shower curtains
Bathroom curtains get dirty, and even worse, mold can grow on them. It is advisable to wash the curtain at least once a month, and after a year of use, replace it with a new one.
Rubber bath toys
These toys should be replaced every 2–3 months. The fact is that mold appears inside them, and it can be dangerous for the baby. To prolong the life of your rubber ducks, rinse them with boiling water and detergent after each use. You can also seal the hole in them with glue to prevent water from getting inside.
Teflon coated cookware
These pans only last 2-3 years and then the cookware needs to be replaced, even if the coating looks intact. Prolonged use of this cookware can be harmful to your health, as Teflon can emit up to 6 toxic gases.
Silicone kitchen brush
Silicone is a heat resistant material, but with regular exposure to high temperatures, it can begin to deteriorate. In addition, it’s pretty soft and can get damaged during the cooking process. To avoid contaminating your food with silicone particles, it is recommended that you change the brushes every 2 years.
Graters and vegetable cutters
It is extremely difficult to completely wash a grater and get rid of the food scraps and the germs that are living on them. In addition, the blades become dull over time, and the device becomes less efficient. Throw away the grater based on its condition and the material that it’s made from. On average, it’s better to change it after 3-4 years of use.
Dishwashing sponges
It’s known that foam sponges can be a breeding ground for bacteria and even mold. Sponges with small fibers should be changed more often, preferably every week, and sponges with large ones — every 2 weeks because these sponges are better ventilated and dry faster.
Underwear
It’s advised to throw away a pair of underwear once it develops holes or takes on odor. It turns out that bacteria, like E. coli, can stay around even on washed panties. In most cases, this won’t lead to health problems, but it’s still more hygienic to renew your underwear at least once a year. The same rule applies to thongs and tanga panties, but since they fit tightly against intimate body parts and tend to be made of synthetic materials, they have a greater chance of becoming a place for infections, so you should think about replacing them more often. Try not to keep either of them around after having them for about a year.
Menstrual pads and tampons
Pads and tampons have an expiration date. Some manufacturers indicate it on the packaging and it’s usually 3 years, while others don’t write the date at all. In any case, it’s better to store personal hygiene items for no more than 2 years, because there is the possibility of mold and bacteria growth, even if it’s not noticeable at first glance. But keeping pads and tampons in the bathroom can significantly reduce their shelf life, as the products absorb moisture well, which encourages bacteria to grow.
Razor blades
They need to be changed more often than most people realize. For example, Gillette Venus advises women who use the razor every day to replace the shaver head after 1-2 weeks of use. And for those who use the razor a couple of times a week — after 4-6 weeks. Using a dull blade can cause irritation, cuts, and ingrown hairs.
How long do you keep these items? What else, in your opinion, should we get rid of sooner than we usually do?

Some of our habits can be harmful over time, such as wearing skinny jeans or using chapstick. We may not realize it, but there are some unhealthy side effects for many of the things we do every day. This is especially true when we repeat them day after day, giving them the time to negatively impact our health.
This is why Bright Side is bringing some of the most unhealthy daily mistakes we make to your attention.
1. Wearing lots of makeup
This is especially true in hot weather or while at the gym when your face tends to sweat. Makeup doesn’t let the skin cool down correctly and stops our pores from sweating properly. It can actually be super unhealthy for our skin as it can cause conditions such as rosacea.
2. Using shampoo before conditioner
Using shampoo first can actually make the hair more oily. If you’re someone whose hair becomes oily, flat, or weighed down after washing, then you may be washing it incorrectly. It can be better to apply conditioner before shampoo for fine, dry, and damaged hair types. This is because the conditioner works as a primer when added first, protecting your hair from being stripped of its natural oils. It also allows the shampoo to be spread evenly across your hair.
3. Lying awake in bed
This is because we can begin to associate our beds with the stress and anxiety of not being able to sleep. Instead, it’s better to leave your bed after 20 minutes to another room, if possible, and do something relaxing, such as reading.
4. Sleeping in on the weekends
Although we may all feel the need to catch up on sleep lost during our busy week, it can actually make us feel worse in the end. This is because we throw off our internal body clock, making it much harder to wake up early on Monday morning. In fact, this has been associated with health problems such as type 2 diabetes. Instead, it’s advised to wake up no later than 1 hour later on the weekends and to take short naps in the afternoons.
5. Using skincare products in jars
This is because the product is exposed to more air each time we open it. This oxidation reduces its effects by making it age faster. There are also concerns about bacteria growth and contamination within the jars from us using our fingers to apply the creams. Even using a spatula can contaminate them because they have to be cleaned really well before using them.
6. Using the same type of skin product for 10+ years
Because the needs of our skin are constantly changing with time, it’s important to stay up to date with appropriate products and routines. For example, as we age, our skin becomes thinner, meaning that we should use more sensitive and moisturizing products.
7. Plucking our nose hair
Doing this removes the protective barrier our nose hairs provide, meaning that we can be more prone to side effects such as allergies and asthma. Moreover, plucking our hairs can lead to risks of an infection of the skin, which can often be painful.
8. Using too much lip balm
Constantly reapplying lip balm can be harmful to our lips because it prevents the old skin cells from dropping. Therefore, it’s important to exfoliate our lips to stop the buildup of dead cells. Moreover, there are concerns about the level of toxins in our lip products, which can directly enter our body through the mouth.
9. Regularly going to the dry cleaner
While there’s nothing like getting our clothes dry cleaned, unfortunately, one of the commonly used chemicals, trichloroethylene (TCE), is connected to severe health complications. It has been linked to damage to the liver, kidneys, and the central nervous system.
10. Taking our daily multivitamins
Our daily vitamin boosters may not be as promising as we first thought since research shows that rather than protecting us from chronic diseases, they can cause us harm. This is particularly true for vitamin B7, which can interfere with certain lab tests and lead to complications.
11. Wearing flip-flops
Despite their comfortability, these shoes can be damaging for your knees, back, and hips. This is because they’re essentially a sheet of rubber that doesn’t properly cushion the impact of walking, leaving us unprotected. Because we also grip with our toes, they can put unnecessary stress on them, leading to cramps.
12. Eating apple seeds
This is because they contain a chemical called amygdalin that releases the deadly chemical cyanide once it gets to the stomach. Because the amount of the chemical within the seeds is small, you would need to eat a huge amount (roughly about 40 apple cores) for it to be deadly.
13. Wearing skinny jeans
This iconic wardrobe item can actually be damaging to our muscles and blood flow, leading to health complications such as temporary paralysis. In particular, if you’re regularly squatting and bending over, swelling can occur around your muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.

The actor has been on the show since 2011 — the very first days of this project .
This actor has already appeared in several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ portrayed the main character in the 2017 movie Death Note .
Also , in 2020 he had the main role in the film Mortal , which was shown in Norway .

The sudden realization that your favorite actors are 40 and some are even 50 years old is scary. Even if they are still great on screen, we don’t need to be conservative and only watch the old-school actors. More than that, the young generation is just as great and exciting to watch.
We at Bright Side love movies and when new stars appear on the scene in Hollywood, we always tell our readers about them. This time, we decided to talk about these young stars that are totally going to steal the spotlight from their more experienced colleagues.
Angelina Jolie — Margaret Qualley
Many movie fans first saw this young actress in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Margaret Qualley portrayed a hippy and won millions of people’s hearts. Her career actually started earlier, but it was the Tarantino film that got her a Screen Actors Guild nomination.
Natalie Portman — Millie Bobby Brown
Millie Bobby Brown is famous for the role of Eleven in Stranger Things. In 2020, the film Enola Holmes was released where Brown portrayed the main character.
Halle Berry — Zendaya
At this very moment, the most memorable role in the career of the actress is the part of Michelle in 2 Spider-Man movies. But this is not the only achievement she has. In 2020, Zendaya got an Emmy award for the show Euphoria.
Audrey Tautou — Anya Taylor-Joy
This girl became famous after she played the main role in Robert Eggers’s The Witch. After that, she appeared in M. Night Shyamalan’s Split and Glass. You could have also seen her in the 5th season of Peaky Blinders.
Matthew McConaughey — Charlie Plummer
Charlie Plummer’s career started to develop fast when he appeared in Ridley Scott’s crime drama All the Money in the World. At the moment, Plummer is working on several different projects and soon we will definitely see him on the big screen.
Javier Bardem — Noah Centineo
The TV series The Fosters has become a boost for the young actor. He’s worked before, but this is his most memorable role. Besides, Noah Centineo was in Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. At the moment, Centineo is negotiating a part in the remake of Masters of the Universe.
Tilda Swinton — Honor Byrne (the daughter of Tilda Swinton)
Honor definitely inherited the bright and memorable features of her mother. Her breakthrough was the film The Souvenir by Joanna Hogg. She even got a nomination from the British Independent Film Awards.
Renée Zellweger — Erin Moriarty
Erin has worked on the same set with Mel Gibson and now she’s busy with the very popular show The Boys, based on the comic book.
Johnny Depp — Ezra Miller
Ezra Miller has been in the industry since 2008, but most viewers know him thanks to the role of Credence in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Barry Allen in the DC superhero universe.
Idris Elba — Archie Madekwe
You may have seen Archie in the mini-series Les Misérables and the unusual 2019 horror Midsommar. The actor is working on several new projects right now.
Elijah Wood — Asa Butterfield
We think that if someone ever wants to shoot a remake of The Lord of the Rings, there’s no better candidate for the role of Frodo. Asa Butterfield debuted in 2008 in the film The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Helena Bonham Carter — Maisie Williams
It will probably take Maisie Williams a long time to shake off the role of Arya Stark, but it was Game of Thrones that opened the path for her to the world of big movies. Recently, you might have seen her in The New Mutants.
Brad Pitt — Austin Butler
In 2021, Austin Butler will appear in the role of Elvis Presley in a biopic about the singer’s life. He even looks a bit like Elvis Presley — his lips and look are very similar. And one of his recent roles is as hippie Tex Watson in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
Zoe Saldana — Sasha Lane
Sasha Lane has been in several low-budget, but still very interesting, movies like Hearts Beat Loud and The Miseducation of Cameron Post. And in 2019, she had a small role in Hellboy.
Jake Gyllenhaal — Ethan Cutkosky
Ethan Cutkosky is famous for his role as Carl Gallagher in Shameless. The actor has been on the show since 2011 — the very first days of this project.
Ben Stiller — Nat Wolff
This actor has already appeared in several interesting projects. For example, he portrayed the main character in the 2017 movie Death Note. Also, in 2020 he had the main role in the film Mortal, which was shown in Norway.
Monica Bellucci — Adèle Exarchopoulos
French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos is the youngest recipient of a Palme d’Or. She won the award for playing the main role in Blue Is the Warmest Color.

We at Bright Side decided to learn more about some upcoming remakes and find out who’s going to portray these famous roles.
Dune
The Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. novel was already adapted for the big screen by one genius director — David Lynch. But unfortunately, despite some good reviews, the director thinks that this movie was his worst failure. Dune was Kyle MacLachlan’s debut role, but it was jam-packed with other stars, like Sting, Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, and Max von Sydow. Denis Villeneuve is working on a new version of this movie. He’s already filmed a good sequel to Blade Runner, and we think that this time, he’s going to be just as successful. The role of Paul Atreides will be portrayed by the young star, Timothée Chalamet. The rest of the cast is also impressive and includes Stellan Skarsgård, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and Zendaya.
The Tragedy of Macbeth
This famous Shakespeare tragedy has been adapted for the big screen many times. The first time it was done was back in 1971 by Roman Polanski. But you probably remember the relatively new film that starred Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard in the main roles. Joel Coen is going to show us a new perspective of this story. Composer Carter Burwell shed some light on the details: “I’ve read the script, and it’s not like they changed the story from what’s in the play. But it’s different. Joel has adapted the play for film and just like the adaptations Joel and Ethan have done with books like No Country for Old Men, it’s interesting how it really does change.” Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand will portray the main characters.
Cruella
101 Dalmatians is a tale about puppies and the scary Cruella de Vil that became famous thanks to the Disney cartoon. The film was released in the ’90s and the main villain was portrayed by Glenn Close. Cruella will be a prequel to the story we all know. The film will be set in London, long before the 101 Dalmatians story. And in this film, the plot will center around the villain, portrayed by Emma Stone.
Death on the Nile
In 2017, Kenneth Branagh played the main role in his own movie adaption of Murder on the Orient Express. The film had pretty good reviews and the director decided to make another film — Death on the Nile. The previous screen adaptation of this film was released in 1978, and the role of the genius investigator, Hercule Poirot, was portrayed by Peter Ustinov. The modern version will also have other famous actors in addition to Kenneth Branagh, including Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Annette Bening.
The Witches
The 1990 film, The Witches, starring Anjelica Huston in the lead role, was a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel. This is a story about witches that live among us and hate all kids. And the main character, a 7-year-old boy, has to fight them. 30 years later, a remake of this fantasy family comedy is set to be released. Robert Zemeckis served as the director and Anne Hathaway stepped in as the role of Eva Ernst.
Masters of the Universe
Masters of the Universe is the film adaptation of the self-titled series. The film about a hero from a different planet that protects Earth from destruction was a huge flop. On the other hand, the animated version was really popular. Maybe this is why Sony decided to film a remake. He-Man will be played by Noah Centineo, and David S. Goyer, who wrote The Dark Knight, wrote the screenplay.
Ratched
This is a TV show you can already see on your screens at home. Ratched is a prequel to the iconic film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The producer of the series, Ryan Murphy, says, “By the time you get to the end of the first season, you will not wonder how and why Mildred became the way she did.” Sarah Paulson replaces Louise Fletcher from the original film in the role of the cruel nurse.
West Side Story
It’s hard to imagine that something will ever be as good as the original version of West Side Story. It’s currently in second place on the list of AFI’s Greatest Movie Musicals (Singin’ In the Rain is in the lead). At the time, the cast was amazing, with names like Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno. Steven Spielberg has decided to try and repeat the success of the movie of the ’60s, and his name attached to the project gives us hope. The cast is full of new actors and even some stars from the original. And the role of Maria will be the first of Rachel Zegler’s career.
Tom and Jerry
The cartoon series will appear on the big screen as a full-length feature film. And while Jerry and Tom will remain animated, all the other actors and sets will be real. You can expect to see some famous names in the cast, including Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, and Rob Delaney. The story revolves around a wedding in a prestigious hotel where Jerry lives. To deal with the mouse that might ruin the upcoming event, the hotel employees bring in a street cat named Tom.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
The son of the creator of the original Ghostbusters, Jason Reitman, is making a sequel to the first 2 films. The story is about 2 teenagers that find out their family is connected to the legendary Ghostbusters. At the same time, something strange starts to happen in their town. The roles in the new film will be played by Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd. Also, almost all the characters from the first 2 movies will appear in the project, including Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver.
Batman
Batman is one of the most popular superheroes in movies, and he’s been on the big screen about 50 times. He’s been played by Adam West, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Christian Bale. In 2021, Matt Reeves is going to release a new Batman film with Robert Pattinson in the starring role. The story revolves around the murder of the Gotham mayor and several criminal gangs.
Walker
One of the most famous TV series characters, a Texas ranger named Walker, will soon return to screens. The main role will be portrayed by the star of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki. The story, just like the original series, is about the police officer Walker returning after a secret mission to Austin, Texas. He realizes that his job is not over yet and continues to fight crime with his partner. He also has to raise his 2 children and investigate the mysterious death of his wife.

1. Pippa Middleton
In May 2017, Duchess Kate Middleton’s younger sister married businessman James Matthews.

In 2011, British model Kate Moss and rock star Jamie Hince walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Kate chose a vintage dress made by designer John Galliano. Still, it’s worth mentioning that it wasn’t the dress that caught everyone’s attention, but Moss’ shoes. Manolo Blahnik, the designer, was in charge of attending to every single request the model made until the shoes were perfect according to her. Blahnik confessed, saying, “We did them 5 times to get them the way she wanted. The shoes arrived the day before and there were too many jewels on the heel because of the long train, so we had women working up until midnight to change it.” The result was a Godiche style sandal loaded with stones that made a perfect duo with the dress.
3. Princess Diana of Wales
In the summer of 1981, Diana, who was only 20 years old, married Prince Charles of England. This wedding was dreamy from beginning to end, and the dress worn by the Princess of Wales was second to none. On her walk through St. Paul’s Cathedral she wore a Victorian dress from the designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel. To accompany this great work of art, shoemaker Clive Shilton was in charge of creating shoes worthy of royalty and he had approximately 6 months to do this. The shoes were low-heeled, to dissimulate the Princess’s high stature, and they were covered with 542 sequins and 132 pearls. To decorate the upper part, the princess chose a heart-shaped brooch. The sole was covered with suede fabric to avoid tripping, and on the arch part, it had details and flowers painted by hand, plus a secret detail on the sole: the initials of the royal couple as a symbol of their everlasting love.
4. Yoko Ono
Without high heels or strappy sandals: that’s how Yoko Ono married one of the members and leaders of the highly acclaimed band The Beatles. It was the year 1969, and back then no major fashion expert would ever dream of putting their bets on flat shoes for brides. Yoko, however, never really thought that was a reason to change her peculiar sense of fashion. She chose a pair of Superga sneakers that were bright white. She combined them with matching socks that reached her knee and a miniskirt in the same color. Today, the Superga brand is worn by many singers, actresses, models, and even royalty, but Yoko remains the trendsetter who wore Superga to her own wedding.
5. Grace Kelly
The American-Irish actress became a member of Monaco’s Royal family when she married Prince Rainier III. For such an important occasion, she decided to wear a dress made by designer Helen Rose, which she combined with a pair of David Evins’ shoes. They were white, classic salon shoes, with rounded tips and a 2-inch heel. The main feature of this shoe model was the lace that outlines the lace trim. It came with a rosette at the top, which was decorated with pearls and glass beads. But here’s a detail that not many people were aware of back in the day. Grace asked for a copper penny to be encased into the right shoe for good luck. That was her way to honor some of her ancient Irish beliefs. Today, both the dress and the shoes that the actress wore are on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
6. Queen Letizia of Spain
Letizia went from being a journalist to becoming the queen of Spain. Clearly, her life took a new turn on her wedding day to the now King Philip VI of Spain. For such an important occasion, she wore a natural silk dress with fine embroidery, designed by Manuel Pertegaz. The dress had a train that was almost 17 feet long. The heels, created by Pura López, were about 4 in high and made of the same fabric as the dress. They had openwork fabric on one side and a small teardrop-shaped tongue with a bow-shaped detail on the instep.
7. Princess Victoria of Sweden
In 2010, Princess Victoria of Sweden wore a wedding dress made by Swedish designer Pär Engsheden. Her shoes, as a distinctive mark of Roger Vivier’s brand, had a buckle covered with rhinestones and were lined with the same fabric as the dress. On behalf of Roger Vivier, who also created the shoes worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation, Bruno Frisoni admitted to feeling “privileged that the relation between the Maison Roger Vivier and Royalty endures with such glamour and elegance.” And it’s no wonder, who wouldn’t?
8. Hailey Baldwin
The model walked down the aisle with famous Canadian singer Justin Bieber. During the party that took place after the wedding, she wore an ivory-colored miniskirt with bare shoulders. Her attire was designed by Vivienne Westwood and was worn together with a custom-made pair of Jimmy Choo heels. Baldwin decided to wear these shoes as well during the wedding. Interestingly enough, even if the shoe’s design was a true classic, the specific model she was wearing had 2 tulle bows that simulated a pair of oversized bows on the ankle strap, very similar to the Aveline 100.
9. Kate Middleton
Few details have been revealed about Kate and William’s wedding in 2011. There was so much secrecy around the whole ceremony that it took about 4 years after the wedding for the shoes that the duchess wore to be revealed. They were traditional ivory satin heels with hand-embroidered lace made by the Royal School of Dress. Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen, the same fashion house that made the wedding dress, was in charge of the final design of the shoes. Together with the wedding dress, these were exhibited at Buckingham Palace.
10. Chiara Ferragni
The expectations regarding everything this famous Italian designer would wear during her wedding were sky-high. And she did not disappoint. Everything turned out to be more than perfect. Ferragni wore 3 different outfits. The shoes she wore were created by Dior’s artistic director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, with a heel of just 2.5 inches and a ribbon with the bride’s name embroidered on it. “Each letter is an individual accessory, so each one was created in a unique way and then assembled,” confessed one of the designers of the shoes. In addition, they used antique gold and a black diamond that Maria Grazia requested especially for this occasion. To make Chiara Ferragni feel more comfortable during the whole event, the shoe brand also created flat shoes for her to change into.
11. Princess Madeleine of Sweden
With her characteristic elegant touch, Princess Madeleine of Sweden wore an organza dress that was made by prestigious designer Valentino Garavani, especially for her wedding day. She combined this beautiful lace dress with a pair of pointed stiletto heels created by the exclusive designer Oscar de la Renta. The shoes had sheer layers with small matching dots and a discreet ribbon to secure the ankle.
12. Beatrice Borromeo
Known as one of the most fashionable couples among European royals, Beatrice and Pierre Casiraghi had not one, not 2, but 5 different outfits for the entire wedding celebration that included the reception and the party. The princess wore dresses made by Italian designers Valentino and Giorgio Armani. But the outfit that really stole the show and caught fashionistas attention was a Greek-inspired white tulle Armani dress. It stood out with a modern touch: daring metallic sandals with intertwined straps, an accessory that has rarely been seen at classic royal weddings.
13. Olivia Palermo
This bride dazzled everyone with a 3-piece dress designed by Carolina Herrera. However, the part of her attire that really garnered most of the attention was her shoes. In keeping with the tradition of wearing something blue for good luck, Olivia wore the same iconic heels we saw in the Sex and the City wedding: the cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik stilettos decorated with a rhinestone buckle on the front.
14. Charlotte Casiraghi
Another royal bride worth noting was Charlotte Casiraghi. For her religious ceremony, she wore a low-cut Chanel dress and walked down the aisle wearing an unexpected pair of white slingback pointed heels that were closed in the front. The intention was to imitate a pair of boots, originally from Chanel’s haute couture collection.


brightside--2020-10-27--Why Smelly Food Makes Us Say, “Yum!”

Why Smelly Food Makes Us Say, “Yum!”

People have been intentionally spoiling food for millennia .
It actually helps to keep the food safe to eat and preserve it for a longer time .
But this controlled spoilage also adds magically to the food ’ s taste and smell , making it especially delicious to us .
Without it , we wouldn ’ t have soy sauce , pickles , or even coffee — along with all the other good stuff .
The smell comes from bacteria that spoil the food .
Many of our favorite foods — like yogurt , bread , and cheese — are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Thanks to them , the food we like has its own unique smell , taste , and texture .
They also do the spoiling .
Fortunately , most of these guys are harmless to humans and even help with digestion and immune system performance .
A few others are nasty enough for us to develop a natural repulsion toward them .
People all over the world have learned how to process food to keep good microbes in and bad microbes out .
Most culinary cultures involve fermentation .
And while microbes are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an intense odor .
But why on earth would we react positively to a strong smell of food that is in the process of spoiling ?
We aren ’ t picky about smells at birth .
Smell and taste are 2 different senses we have in our arsenal .
Our emotional relationship with our sense of taste — basically tongue sensations — is here from birth : “ yuck ” to the sour , “ yummy ” to the sweet .
We ’ re hardwired to like some tastes and dislike others .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t hardwired to prefer any smell .
Small children react exactly the same to the smell of banana and to the smell of rancid cheese .
Sometimes they even prefer more foul smells , unlike adults .
It isn ’ t until the age of 8 that children learn to mimic adults ’ attitudes toward certain smells that are prevalent in their culture .
So we don ’ t really have any liking or grudge against specific smells from the get-go .
Our brain rolls smell and taste together .
Our nose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s smell .
But when we eat , something fantastic happens .
The smell compounds go into our mouth and touch up near the back of the nose .
They come across the same smell receptors again , but our brain perceives it very differently this time compared to when it smelled it in front of the nose .
This is known as “ mouth smell.
” Rather than simply sniffing the odor , our brain now mixes the smell with the taste on the tongue and creates flavor .
This union @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact on how we experience food .
And what smelled sharp or even gross before , suddenly turns delicious .
At the same time , our brain releases dopamine , enhancing the pleasurable moment .
Sometimes , it overstimulates and produces a lesser amount of dopamine until we repeat the experience .
So , the strong-flavored smells , as well as the food , can be rather addictive .
For some people , these flavors are still too exotic and weird , but they tend to grow on us with time .
Especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positive personal experience .
The more we ’ re exposed to a specific stink and the more associations we build with it , the more we tend to like it .

If there’s something we all have in common, it’s a strong opinion about pineapples on pizza. All ingredients on Hawaiian pizza actually do work well together, giving us the satisfaction of tasting sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. The thing is, we perceive tongue sensations very differently due to multiple factors, hence the great divide between pineapple-on-pizza haters and lovers.
Bright Side conducted research to find out what makes us love certain foods and we want to share the results with you.
1. Parental exposure influences kids’ tastes.
Our food preferences can begin to form even before birth and are influenced by what our mother ate while she was pregnant. Inside the womb, the fetus receives fluids flavored by the mom’s dietary habits. For example, newborns whose mothers ate garlic, have less of a negative reaction to its odor and taste. So, a mom’s eating habits can increase a child’s liking of tastes or foods after birth.
2. We don’t eat food because we like it, we like it because we eat it.
We are all hardwired to basic tongue sensations: “yuck” to the sour and bitter, “yummy” to the sweet. Evolutionally speaking, it helped our ancestors to steer away from potentially poisonous foods that come with a sour taste, and toward nutritious, safe-to-eat sweet foods. But genes actually play a surprisingly small role in the matter. At some point, kids begin refusing everything new, and if parents stop exposing them to new foods, a child will hate these foods for years to come. But if you keep offering new things, eventually they’ll like them. Kids also learn to mimic adults’ attitudes toward certain smells that are prevalent in their culture, but this doesn’t happen until much later. Tip: To make this transition less painful, disguise new food as something not new.
3. Personal experience molds our attitude.
Both positive and negative associations can have an impact on our view of a certain food. If we have some sweet memory connected to taste or smell, our brain releases dopamine, enhancing the pleasurable moment. On the flipside, if you got sick from some food, you will develop a natural repulsion, called a taste aversion, toward it. Even flavors that can be considered too exotic and weird for some people tend to grow on us with time. Especially if they’re linked with some positive personal experience. The more we’re exposed to a specific taste and smell, the more associations we build with it, and the more we tend to like it.
4. We like things that are prevalent in our culture more.
Our food likes or dislikes can also be connected to culture. Some cultures embrace certain tastes and flavors that are regularly used because these ingredients are available in that region — like curry in Indian cuisine. Due to everything we mentioned above, if you grew up in a culture that utilizes curry, you’re more likely to enjoy its taste, as opposed to growing up in a place where it’s not used as often.
5. Our taste buds determine how intensely we experience taste.
Another thing that affects tastes is our papillae — or taste buds, the receptor bumps on our tongue. Some people are “supertasters,” while others are “non-tasters” and “regular tasters.” Supertasters have more taste buds and perceive bitterness, sweetness, and sourness more intensely. This leads to a higher likelihood of an aversion to foods with a strong flavor, while there is no problem for other “tasters.”

We at Bright Side investigated 7 common skin care claims to find out which of them are not exactly true.
1. “Special exercises will remove my fine lines.”
A facial workout may do more harm than good. Our skin is elastic, and working out the muscles pulls on it and will stretch it out. Many of our fine lines come from excess muscle activity, and facial fitness may give you more wrinkles.
2. “Toothpaste will dry up my pimple.”
Although the menthol in toothpaste has a cooling effect and may temporarily reduce swelling, applying it on your face can irritate it. Toothpaste is formulated for your teeth and has a basic pH level. Skin has a naturally acidic pH, and upsetting it could lead to rashes and burning.
3. “Tanning clears up acne.”
A tan may temporarily cover the redness of acne, but this effect will eventually backfire. Sun dries up oily skin, and in response, it produces more oil, which may cause more breakouts. Using medication to treat acne makes skin more vulnerable to UV rays, which may lead to premature skin aging.
4. “I can use coconut oil instead of moisturizer.”
Coconut oil has many health benefits and can help fight blemishes, but if you have oily skin it may cause even more breakouts. Coconut oil is comedogenic, which means it clogs pores. It can result in skin inflammation and lead to acne.

Over-cleansing your face can be just as harmful as not doing it at all. Scrubbing your face too much may damage your skin barrier. The outer layer of your skin contains fats that protect it from the environment, and disturbing this balance may result in inflammation.
6. “I don’t need sunscreen if I work in an office all day.”
Even if you spend most of your time indoors, you still need to protect your skin against sun damage. Window glass only blocks some UV rays, but it cannot block all of them equally. Exposure to UV rays may lead to wrinkles, sunspots, and skin cancer, and putting on sunscreen is an essential step in protecting your skin.
7. “Popping a pimple will help it go away faster.”
Randomly squeezing pimples can cause infection and scarring. If you’re popping a zit at home, you may push some of the contents inside the pimple deeper into the skin, which can lead to more noticeable and painful acne. To get rid of a pimple, it is best to visit a skin health professional to get a treatment.

2. “Never thought I’d ever be a spartan. Whoever needs to hear this, never give up on yourself! Stay focused and your hard work will bless you!”

4. “I’ve gone from a craniotomy to American Ninja Warrior in the span of a year.”
A craniotomy is a skull surgery that exposes the brain.

“I’ve been feeling depressed lately, so I decided to make a victory door, featuring my weight loss journey pictures. I started at 375 lb (top photos) and am now at 270 lb (bottom photos). I can’t stop smiling.”

14. “These parents did not give up on their baby after doctors said she wouldn’t be able to walk.”
“The year was 1986. I’m the baby. Doctors told my parents I’d never walk. They didn’t listen and demanded a tenth opinion. That tenth doctor put leg braces on me and I took my first steps the day after this picture was taken.”
