Imagine hearing sounds and not knowing where they were coming from !
To avoid them stressing out like that , it ’ s important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go to when they need to feel safe .
It ’ ll probably choose the place itself : it could be under the bed , a table , or in a large box .

A dog ’ s muzzle is a very special instrument and using it gives them a sort of second view of the world that surrounds them through their noses .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ think about it .
So next time you take them out , let them guide you and allow them to smell everything they come across .
If the dog stops , be patient and wait for them to finish .

Bonus : If you ’ re stressed , your dog gets stressed too @

As humans, we’re used to talking about stress. In fact, most of us experience it on a daily basis. But as strange as it sounds, dogs can also suffer from a similar kind of stress. A stressed dog will show several symptoms which can be seen in hyperactivity or apathy, changes in behavior, or repetitive behavior. It could even the way that we deal with these symptoms that’s causing the problem in the first place — even if you never meant to upset your four-legged companion.
But that’s why it’s important for you to know what stress means for a dog. And because we’re sure you want the best for your little buddy, Bright Side thought we’d do some research to better understand what to do and what not to do when it comes to stress and dogs. Don’t miss our bonus at the end of the article as well.
1. Leaving them alone for a long time
Separation anxiety or stress is very common in young dogs that are not yet used to being left alone. Very old dogs are also affected by separation anxiety because they lose their normal ability to take care of themselves. It manifests itself with destructive behavior, persistent barking, or howling when you go out or come back. Some dogs might even poop inside the house. For them to get used to it, it’s recommended not to leave the pet alone for more than 6 to 8 hours. Before leaving, you should secure the doors and windows to prevent an escape, see that they have enough water and food available, and leave toys to entertain themselves with. Also, before leaving, you should ignore them for about 20 minutes. Do the same thing when you come back and don’t greet or pet the dog until they’ve calmed down. Then you can both spend some quality time together.
2. Taking them out with a very tight leash and not ever letting them run free
It’s a well-known fact that dogs need to exercise outdoors and love releasing energy while running. This is especially true for dogs that live in apartments and have no space to exercise at home. If your city doesn’t allow dogs to be walked unleashed, you should pay close attention to how tense the leash you’re using is. A tight leash can not only cause physical damage to your dog (think of back injuries, for example) but it also stresses them out. In the end, this can affect your dog’s behavior too. Try to take your pet to a square, park, or open area where you can let go and allow them to run freely. It’s best to do this at least a couple of times a week to prevent your dog from stressing out and to keep them in good physical shape. If for whatever reason you can’t unleash them, make sure the leash you’re using is loose enough for the dog to feel free while running. Of course, it’s not an easy thing to do if we’re talking about a big dog, but still, there are many solutions out there. You can buy a training harness or a head harness, for example. These allow you to walk your pet without stressing them out.
3. Ruling with an iron fist
According to a study, dogs that are raised in a hostile environment are more likely to suffer from stress. Frequent punishments, yelling, pulling the leash, or forcing them to sit down by pressing on their back can cause anxiety. It can also make your dog develop a bad temper and be reluctant to play with other dogs. Instead of being too tough, try positive reinforcement. When the dog obeys an order, congratulate it, pet it, or give it a treat. If it doesn’t obey your order as you’d hoped, never hit them or yell at them. Just firmly say, “No,” and then ignore it. By repeating this, the dog will end up understanding what you want from it.
4. Pretending to throw the ball
There’s nothing that makes your dog happier than when you play with them. Playing together creates an emotional bond between you and your dog. But there are some kinds of games that are only fun for humans. For example, when you pretend to throw a ball for your friend to catch but actually just hide it behind you. At first, the dog will be happy to go get it. But if you do the same thing over and over, the dog will start feeling anxious and confused. Clearly, they will no longer find it fun. Little by little, this behavior will make your pet lose trust in you. Research has shown that playing with your pet has an effect on their cortisol levels. Cortisol, by the way, is the hormone that regulates stress. So don’t pull pranks on your dog. Play with the dog, throw the ball, and let them pick it up. You can also use this time to teach them other tricks, such as pawing.
5. Exposing them to very loud sounds
Being constantly exposed to very loud sounds, such as high pitches, strident music, firecrackers, traffic noise, a horn, or other similar sounds is stressful for anyone. The same goes for dogs. The difference is that they don’t know where the noise is coming from. So they just get scared, their heart rate increases, and their stress levels skyrocket. Imagine hearing sounds and not knowing where they were coming from! To avoid them stressing out like that, it’s important for your pet to have a shelter to go to when they need to feel safe. It’ll probably choose the place itself: it could be under the bed, a table, or in a large box. Don’t try to get the dog out of their safe place. Let them calm down and come out on their own. Try to reduce their exposure to loud sounds, and if that’s not possible, try playing some soft music in the background.
6. Preventing them from sniffing out everything they want to sniff
Your dog gets information from their environment and from other dogs by sniffing every corner as well as through the scent of other dogs. When you take them out for a walk, for example, and pull the leash to prevent them from sniffing, you’ll be depriving your friend of catching up with the world, so to speak. A dog’s muzzle is a very special instrument and using it gives them a sort of second view of the world that surrounds them through their noses. It’s pretty amazing if you think about it. So next time you take them out, let them guide you and allow them to smell everything they come across. If the dog stops, be patient and wait for them to finish. Let them enjoy all the sniffing at ease.
7. Hugging them too much or touching their face
Demonstrations of affection are typically human. Dogs don’t understand them like we do. In fact, most show signs of discomfort, anxiety, or stress when we’re too affectionate with them. They also don’t like it when you touch or pet their face. Least of all, a stranger. When they see a hand fall, they can easily assume that they’re about to be beaten. If you realize that when you hug them tightly or try to caress their face, they yawn, drop their ears, look away, grunt, or get up to leave, then they clearly don’t want that kind of pampering. Not all dogs have that. Some of them love to be cuddled and even ask for it. But if you see signs of the contrary, stop. It’s better to lower your hand to the height of their muzzle and let them come to you, slowly and calmly.
8. Using different words for the same kind of behavior
It’s normal to talk to your pet as though they understand everything you say. However, try to always use the same word for the same order: down, come on, stay, sit, come here, etc. Leave all synonyms aside. Your pet does not understand that by saying, “Bring this to me,” and “Go get that,” you’re trying to say the same thing. That means that when you use different words, the dog is going to feel confused because it will see that you want them to do something but won’t know what that is. Make sure you control the tone of your voice when you give them an order. Pay close attention to your body language too. Your dog will respond much better to visual stimuli — pointing at objects or snapping the fingers are effective ways of communicating with them. Think about using repetition to your advantage too. Dogs love a routine, so don’t hesitate to spend a few minutes a day reviewing what you’ve taught them before.
9. Dressing them
Dogs are generally more likely to accept wearing some pieces of clothing than cats are. Some breeds cope well, especially if the clothing helps them withstand the cold. But most dogs don’t even need it and actually find it extremely uncomfortable and frustrating. You should watch how your friend reacts when you try to dress them. If they show clear signs of anger and want to run away, just let it go. Don’t force the dog to do things they don’t want to do. Not only can it cause them great stress, but it can also damage their skin due to the materials dog garments are made of.
10. Not following a routine
Dogs are animals that like habits. Maintaining a daily routine helps them feel happier, safer, and can even help them endure any future changes. On the other hand, animals that do not have an established routine tend to get stressed, depressed, and show anxiety in their daily behavior. It’s always better to create a routine when the dog is still a puppy. Establish schedules for sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, walking, and playing. This is important for you and your pet to reinforce your relationship. As long as you respect your dog’s schedule, you can introduce new activities without the fear of anything affecting their stability.
Bonus: If you’re stressed, your dog gets stressed too.
Research has also found that dogs reflect the mood of their owners. So if you’re stressed, chances are your furry friend is too. To determine this, scientists measured the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in both the owners and the animals that took part in the study. They basically found that the results were synchronized in both instances: people with high cortisol levels had dogs with equally high levels and people with low cortisol had dogs with low cortisol levels too. These findings highlight just how strong the bond between people and their pets is. It also helps to raise awareness on how to better take care of our dogs’ health. We have to start by really caring about our own well-being. So, if you notice that your pet behaves out of place, you might want to ask yourself how you feel and look for ways to relax. Then the 2 of you will be able to continue enjoying your friendship to the fullest.

All children break the rules. They test the world this way and try to find the boundaries they can’t cross. Most children’s whims and mischief are a natural learning process. However, there are moments when a child’s seemingly harmless behavior can signify something more serious.
At Bright Side, many of us are parents too, and we know what it’s like to worry about your own child. That’s why we’ve studied the works of psychologists and found 5 situations that require your attention. As a bonus, you’ll learn about common moments that worry many parents but are completely normal.
They’re picky about their food.
Often, children are quite picky about their food choices and flat out refuse to eat certain dishes. This can be a sign that your child has emotional problems. Scientists have found that very picky children are diagnosed with depression 2 times more often than children that eat everything. According to the authors of the study, 14% to 20% of parents complain that their children between the years of 3 to 5 years refuse to eat many foods. Researchers examined the group of toddlers of this age and found out that those who are moderately or severely picky about their food are almost 2 times more likely to develop anxiety than those who are not as selective. In addition, children with high or medium selectivity are more likely to have symptoms of depression.
They’re sensitive to their clothes.
A child may complain that this or that is prickly or that it chafes them. They may refuse to wear some items but won’t want to take off others, even if they’re worn out with holes. At the same time, the child doesn’t care about the weather and may want to put on a cap on a warm day or take off their mittens only after taking off their shoes. Many parents think that these are simple whims. And while this is often the case, it can also be a sign of increased anxiety.
They use gadgets more often than usual.
Many children love to play games on their smartphones or computers, but those with anxiety may spend more time in front of the screen. Scientists found that an addiction to gadgets can be a sign of increased anxiety and stress. If a child spends a lot of time on their smartphone, they’re probably afraid of missing an important event or message. If you see that your child spends too much time with their phone, talk to them. Play an online game with them and ask them what they’re watching. This kind of behavior can provide you with valuable insight as to what bothers your child so much.
They beg for new toys.
Many parents have been in situations where a child begs them to buy something while crying and whining. It’s believed that all toddlers go through this stage but according to psychologist Lyudmila Petranovskaya, this is not entirely correct. Normally, a child doesn’t worry about things missing in their life until teenage years. Their world is full of everything they need. However, if parents often argue about their finances when the child is present or blame the child for the expenses, this can develop a deficiency model of the world in a child. In this case, the child thinks the world is a place where something is always missing, and they have to try really hard to get things. That’s why children who experience deficiency always beg for new toys, even they don’t really need them. They just want to see if their parents can take care of them. This kind of behavior is corrected by abundance. This doesn’t mean that you have to buy everything the child asks for. However, it simply means that the normal order of things should be returned — like when a parent gives their child benefits not because the child begged or deserved them, but for no specific reason. Spontaneous, inexpensive gifts will show much more love than expensive things that the child had to beg for in tears will.
They constantly look for new information.
According to psychologists, if a child constantly searches for information online, monitors news, and asks more questions than usual, it’s a sign of increased anxiety. If it seems to you that your child has become much more inquisitive and asks questions like, “What will happen if an earthquake starts?” try to carefully find out what bothers them and let them know that you’re ready to listen to them and help them.
Bonus: children’s behavior that can scare you but is completely normal
Tantrums: This is a normal and even healthy part of growing up. With the help of tantrums, the child checks boundaries and explores the world around them. Sometimes tantrums become too frequent and parents begin to worry whether their children have serious psychological problems. However, this behavior is most likely unconscious
Bad behavior in front of other people: Usually, a calm kid begins to make noise, run around, and asks you to play in front of your guests. Some people can get worried about this behavior, but it’s completely normal. The child becomes anxious when they see that someone else has caught your attention. They want to confirm that the relationship between you 2 is perfectly fine.

The relationship between celebrities and their daughters can constantly be seen on social media. The similarity between many of them is undeniable, but there’s nothing better than the passage of time to make a proper comparison of how these stars looked in their youth. We know how Uma Thurman looks now and how her daughter Maya looks, but do you remember what Uma looked like at 21, the same age as Maya is now?
Bright Side wants to bring you the ultimate comparison between famous mothers and daughters, that proves real style can definitely withstand the test of time and that it can be passed on from generation to generation.
1. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Carys Douglas (17 &16 years old)
Catherine Zeta-Jones was born in 1969. Her daughter, Carys, was born in 2003. The features of both are extremely similar, and so is their style. The dress Catherine wore in 1987 could very well be worn by her daughter at this point in time. We love the resemblance between the 2 of them and the style that Catherine Zeta-Jones was able to create over time.
2. Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke (21 years old)
It was in the cards for Maya Hawke to pursue acting as a career, especially with 2 parents as talented as Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. She has already made a name for herself thanks to her performance in Little Women, as Jo March. She is also known for playing Robin Buckley in the Netflix instant hit Stranger Things. When both Uma and Maya wear black, they look just like sisters.
3. Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson (29 years old)
Dakota gained more popularity for her performance as Anastasia Steele in the renowned Fifty Shades of Grey movie trilogy, than she did for her famous last name. But let’s not forget that her mother is none other than the renowned actress and model Melanie Griffith. Looking at pictures of both of them at 29, we can clearly see that they have very different styles. From their hair, to the colors in their wardrobe, to their makeup, the only thing that is similar is their smile!
4. Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith (20 years old / 19 years old)
It’s impossible to not be in show business if your parents are Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. When looking at her features closely, it’s easy to see that Willow has a bit of both. It’s interesting to notice how both Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith like flashy, colorful tops.
5. Demi Moore and Rumer Willis (32 years old)
Demi and Rumer are close and it is totally normal to see them walking down the red carpet together. Rumer is the fruit of Demi Moore’s marriage with Bruce Willis. That’s why we are not surprised that Rumer has devoted herself to acting. She has appeared in several films and series. One of her best performances was when she played Tory Ash in Empire. Their looks are completely opposite: From Demi’s straight hair to Rumer’s wavy hair and Demi’s stylish black suit to her daughter’s romantic light blue style, we can see how mom and daughter aren’t into the same styles.
6. Lisa Bonet and Zoë Kravitz (32 years old / 31 years old)
Zoë combines the beauty of Lisa Bonet with Lenny Kravitz’s magnetic charisma. The resemblance between Bonet and her daughter is undeniable, and so is her talent. She can be seen in Divergent as Christina, or in the television series Big Little Lies, where she worked alongside actresses like Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman. Both mother and daughter stand out for their particular style that conveys a lot of soul and spirit. When Zoë used to have dreadlocks both of them looked so much alike, that we wouldn’t be surprised if people mistook them for sisters.
7. Carrie Fisher and Billie Lourd (27 years old)
Carrie Fisher brought Princess Leia to life in the Star Wars saga. Sadly, she passed away in 2016. Her only daughter, Billie, was born in 1992 and has appeared in several hit series, including American Horror Story. Both of them are known for being stylish and avant-garde.
8. Jerry Hall and Georgia May Jagger (27 years old)
Georgia is supermodel Jerry Hall and singer-songwriter Mick Jagger’s daughter. Both women have their own, distinct styles. While Georgia has more of that rock and roll attitude that the Rolling Stone’s leader has made so popular, Jerry Hall remains what many would call a classic beauty.
9. Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow (47 years old)
We’re dealing here with a family where beauty and talent are hereditary and come hand-in-hand with charisma. Both Gwyneth and Blythe look stunning in their forties. We can easily imagine Gwyneth wearing her mother’s 1990s outfit and also the other way around. They both share a classic style that never goes old and that also seems to be passed down from one generation to the next.
10. Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Depp (21 years old / 20 years old)
It’s amazing how Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Depp are so alike. They both look so good, whether it’s in 1993 or today. It seems like these pictures could have been taken at the same time and they could be sisters (or twins for that matter). Both styles are stunning, no matter what the age difference is between these 2.

1. Emma Watson
Emma Watson appears in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, which premiered in 2017. Watson delivered an amazing performance. She plays the girl who is different from the rest of the people in town, and who falls in love with a beast because of its inner beauty, not its physical appearance.

On the contrary, she accepted the role of Belle because she is an independent woman, with a very open mind, and because she thinks that she is a good role model.
2. Lily James
The English actress who appeared in the acclaimed series Downton Abby was chosen by Disney in 2015 to play the role of Cinderella. James was perfect for the part because of the great sweetness and elegance that she conveys. She also brings a certain character and temperament to a princess who is often portrayed as fragile. Fun fact: As we mentioned before, this role was initially offered to Emma Watson, who turned it down to play Belle. Eventually, Lily James would get the leading role by chance: she had auditioned to play one of the evil stepsisters, and producers thought she would make a great Cinderella.
3. Lily Collins
Another classic tale by the Brothers Grimm, Snow White, returned to the big screen with a totally revamped style and several plot twists. Collins plays a princess who is forced into exile. She has been sent to the forest by her evil stepmother Julia Roberts, whose secret plan is to take over the kingdom, which surely comes along with all of the young girl’s wealth. In the forest, Snow White meets 7 dwarf warriors who will help her claim what is hers. Fun fact: During a fight scene between the evil queen, stepmother, and Snow White, Julia Roberts accidentally pulled a chunk of Collin’s hair. That’s the actual take that the director kept...
4. Liu Yifei
The 33-year-old singer and actress was chosen by Disney producers to play the warrior Mulan, from among thousands of applicants. Not only that, but forget about hiring stuntmen: Liu Yifei actually performed 90% of the action scenes in the movie. From horseback riding, to sword fighting, to martial arts combat, this young woman can do it all! Fun fact: Some of the character names had to be changed to make them more realistic. For instance, Fa Mulan became Hua Mulan, Shan Yu became Böri Khan, Li Shang became Chen Honghui, Chien Po became simply Po, and Fa Zhou (Mulan’s father) became Hua Zhou.
5. Elle Fanning
Maleficent was a box office hit all around the world, both for its unique story and for having such a great cast. In this case, the actress in charge of bringing Princess Aurora to life in both the first film and its sequel was child-prodigy Elle Fanning.

6. Naomi Scott
The 2019 live-action adaption of Aladdin was one of Disney’s most anticipated remakes. In this version, we can see a fantastic and just as funny genius played by Will Smith. That goes hand-in-hand with a number of great songs and quite a lot of action. Naomi Scott was in charge of bringing Princess Jasmine to life, who, with the help of Aladdin, will save her people and her father from the evil Jafar. Fun fact: In one of the scenes of the movie, we can see Aladdin’s magic carpet making a castle in the sand. This castle is an exact replica of the castle that appears in all of the opening credits of recent Disney releases.

She suffered from a phobia because she fell from a horse when she was still a child and broke her elbow.
9. Drew Barrymore
Ever After was one of the first live-action movies based on the classic animated versions. That’s also why it’s one of the first movies to feature a more relatable and human Disney princess. This version of Cinderella could be any of us. Clearly that meant that the original story had to be tweaked to bring it closer to people’s daily lives. Ever After takes place in medieval France. Cinderella, played by Drew Barrymore, is constantly tormented by her evil stepmother, but thanks to her wit and courage she finds her way and meets Prince Henry. Fun fact: The famous actress has said several times that this is her favorite movie of all the ones she has played in.
10. Léa Seydoux
In 2014, French cinema also made an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, La Belle et la Bête. There, Léa Seydoux plays the role of Belle and shows just how versatile an actress can be. Thanks to her incredible creative freedom, she delivered a performance that was full of elegance. Fun fact: By the time the French live-action film was released, the story of Beauty and the Beast had been adapted to the big screen more than a dozen times.
11. MacKenzie Mauzy
MacKenzie Mauzie, who used to appear in American soap operas and series, was in charge of bringing Rapunzel, the princess with the long hair, to life in the film Into the Woods. This film is Disney’s version of a musical of the same name. Fun fact: Into the Woods was Disney’s first adaptation of a Broadway musical, but it was so successful that it will not likely be the last one.
12. Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick is already a regular face in musicals, and she is far from disappointing with her performance of the famous Cinderella for Disney’s live-action Into the Woods. The actress shares credits with renowned actors like Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp. Fun fact: The décor of the set was so well-done that when stars Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine first came in, they were truly scared of losing each other or other members of the crew, so they looked after each other and stayed together.

Making your bed in the morning makes you happier and helps you get a healthier night’s sleep afterward, a study suggests.

We at Bright Side like to look at things from different angles, so we invite you to find out how an ordinary morning routine can actually affect your health.
You host unwanted guests right on your pillows.
According to a study, taking time to make your bed not only sets your mind at peace, but it makes a cozy home for dust mites. You cannot see them without a microscope, and you may think the place is clean, when in fact it’s not.
Your blanket creates a wonderful atmosphere for bed mites.
Bed mites love to live in the dark, damp spaces of your mattress and pillows, and feed themselves with your dead skin cells. When you make your bed in the morning, you “cover them up” in their ideal environment with your blanket. In the evening, the army (that has now multiplied) starts doing its dirty work. Among the unpleasant effects, there can be skin irritations and even acne.
Dust mites poop right on your sheets.
While feeding themselves off of your dead skin cells, they leave their signature on your sheets. Yes, the mites poop right in the place where you’re supposed to cozily sleep after a hard day.

Scientists claim that this is potentially dangerous for people who are allergic, as inhaling these “corpses” may provoke the worsening of their condition.
Bed mites are scared of sunlight.
If you leave your bed uncovered in the morning, the mites are influenced by moving air and sunlight, which are their natural killers. This is why it’s so important to let your bed “breathe” for a few hours, instead of “protecting” these guys under your blankets.
When fighting them, don’t use the bug-killing sprays.
Dermatologists do not advise to use bug-killing sprays if you want to go to war with these unwanted guests. It is better to thoroughly clean your bed with a vacuum cleaner. Of course, you won’t be able to remove all of the mites, but decreasing their number helps prevent allergies.

Nowadays, the number of fake items floating around grows every day. From fake smartphones with thinner screens to fake bags that are also made with real leather, it’s hard to spot these imposters — it often seems like there’s no difference. But there is. You just need to look a little closer and you may find tiny differences.
We at Bright Side want to help you avoid situations of fraud and found some simple tips to help you recognize counterfeit.
1. Check to see what the logo looks like on a gadget.
Fake gadgets are not just of poor quality, but they can even be dangerous because they don’t go through the right testing or certification. But in case if you’re in a situation where you don’t know if you have a fake or an original, here are some tips. The logo will be printed wrong or will appear spotty. You can check the original logo on your phone and compare it to the gadget in question. Don’t rush, especially if this is an expensive purchase. It feels too light. It has a yellowish color instead of white. The plastic seems poorly made or put together.
2. Check the metal and the sound on expensive watches.
Flea markets can be a great place to find rare luxurious watches. But it’s important to know how to detect frauds. The most expensive watches have smooth mechanisms, meaning there should be no ticking sounds. Put the watch close to your ear and if you hear any sound, it’s better to leave it. Engravings on fine watches are generally sharper. Fake watches are usually made with cheaper and lighter materials than the original ones.
3. Check the stitching on clothes and shoes.
The quality of original and expensive items also differ. The stitching will be much cleaner and tighter on authentic items, unlike their counterparts. Original clothing and shoes often have more stitches per square inch. The lines won’t be as straight either because they likely use less material as it costs less.
4. Check the tags on clothes.
Always check the tags. They can say a lot about whether a brand is fake or not. Fake manufacturers usually use lower-quality factory equipment so the tags and labels may be stitched badly. Pay attention to details. The size tag will be a different color and of poor quality compared to the original piece, and the letters on it may have different spacing. Oftentimes, there’s a serial number on the size tag for more expensive brands.
5. Check the wrapping of your cosmetics and perfume.
Contreifet cosmetics are no joke! That’s because we use these products on our bodies so we’d like to know that everything is tested and certified safe. Here are some tips that can help you to avoid purchasing fakes: Cellophane usually should be tightly wrapped around the boxes. Fake products often have lower-quality plastic or metal casings. The name of the shade should be printed on a sticker as opposed to the box. Fine products should fit into the box perfectly.
6. Check the buttons.
If you want to buy a jacket, coat, or trenchcoat, take a look at the buttons inside and out. Fine brands will have good quality plastic with the company’s name engraved. Counterfeits will use cheap, light plastic, and sometimes it’ll be unlabeled. The buttons should also be sewn on securely and won’t be held on by just a couple of stitches.
7. Check the quality of the screen when shopping for smartphones.
Fakes can look incredibly professional and sometimes it’s difficult to find differences between them and original iPhones. But still, it’s possible when you do the following: When you turn on the phone for the first time, the screen may not be as bright as it was when you tested the iPhone7, for instance. The numbers in the calendar may have a different font. The screen shouldn’t be coarse or grainy. This kind of thing happens when a low-resolution panel is used. The picture shouldn’t be blurry.
7. Download a special app for spotting fakes.
If you decide to take your fraud search to the next level, you can upload a special app that recognizes fake clothes, shoes, and accessories. This way, when you’re buying stuff from different stores, it will help you to avoid scams and save money. The app detects small details like in the picture above. For example, “the peak” of the tongue is slightly elongated compared to the authentic pair.
What tricks do you know to help you identify real brands and their fakes? Do you think counterfeits look more convincing these days?

When choosing a movie to watch, we often rely on the ratings, recommendations from friends, or the number of awards the movie received. But even a collective point of view from people who are considered high authorities or big cinema lovers doesn’t guarantee that you will like a movie. And this is actually understandable since art itself is quite subjective and films that seem to be indisputable masterpieces for some are examples of sheer mediocrity for others.

Movies provide us with a lot of fantastic stories and there’s so much variety that everyone can enjoy their own kind of love story. But of all the genres, romantic comedies have managed to take us to the moon and back, thanks to their wonderful characters. None of that magic could have been taken to the big screen without the actors that naturally showed their chemistry. And that’s especially hard when you are playing a romantic couple. Of course, audiences can feel that chemistry and that is what makes them fall in love with these dynamic duos. So much so, that producers thought it would be great to have them work together again and again in other movies.
Bright Side compiled 10 acting duos who’ve worked together on more than one movie and melted our hearts with their love stories time and again.
1. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
We are talking about one of the most iconic couples that Hollywood has ever seen. We loved to see them playing a couple, trying to balance their romantic life with their secret work as spies, without the other one knowing about it. Mr. and Mrs. Smith was the former couple known as Brangelina’s first movie together. The film was made back in 2005 and, after several years of being together in real life, both actors starred in By the Sea, a film directed and written by Angelina Jolie. By the Sea’s shooting took place during the couple’s honeymoon in Gozo.
2. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton
Another pair of actors who have worked together on a number of films are Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. The director, writer, and actor first starred with Keaton in the now-classic play called Play It Again, Sam, which was key to Keaton’s growing career and turned her into a rising star. Later they co-starred in the adaptation of the play to the big screen. They also starred together as a couple in Sleeper, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Interiors and Manhattan. Talk about a dynamic duo!
3. Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart
This couple has acted together in films revolving around teenage love stories. Most of these films are known for their alternative, millennial-like unfoldings. The films they have worked on together talk about broken romances, in a world where action pursuits involving secret projects that take place in gangster territories are just a common thing. Nothing too dramatic, as you can see... Their joint performances and chemistry onscreen caught so much attention that they were invited to work together in 2009’s Adventureland, then in 2015’s American Ultra, and finally in Woody Allen’s Café Society, released one year later, in 2016.
4. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner
Douglas and Turner were not only one of the most attractive couples in the ’80s Hollywood scene, but they clearly showed an amazing chemistry on screen. Think about movies like Romancing the Stone, and its sequel, The Jewel of the Nile, or the now-classic The War of the Roses. Their chemistry was so real that many fans speculated about whether or not they actually had a real affair off-screen. Time went by, and Turner revealed to the public some details about the type of relationship she held with Douglas back in the day. It turns out they were never together. No matter how much it seemed those 2 could have been together for a long time, they both decided to continue their careers separately and end their professional relationship.
5. John Cusack and Catherine Zeta-Jones
When Cusack and Zeta-Jones were wildly popular and surrounded by other successful actors, they decided to take on 2 projects together. They recorded both films at the same time, but they were supposed to be released a year apart. We’re talking about High Fidelity and America’s Sweethearts. As you probably know, both romantic comedies became classics of their genre.
6. Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta
This couple made us feel many emotions thanks to their great performances in classics like the musical Grease. This is an iconic film in the history of cinema and it even became a trend-setter after it was released. It caused such a stir that both Newton-John and Travolta became major Hollywood stars from that moment on. They were reunited 5 years after Grease’s release to shoot Two of a Kind. This comedy and fantasy film revolves around a couple of angels, who, in order to stop a deluge that would end humanity, must make Newton-John and Travolta’s characters fall in love.
7. Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig
This duo projected a natural chemistry when Jon played Kristen’s character’s friend with benefits in Bridesmaids. That very same year, they both set out to play a couple who were used to having intimate relationships all the time, in Friends with Kids. In the film, they are waiting for the birth of their child at the same time as their best friends. The film revolves around the difficulties and the meaning of becoming parents for different types of couples.
8. Jason Segel and Emily Blunt
In the 2010 film Gulliver’s Travels, Jason Segel played Horatio, a prisoner who went to prison because he fell in love with Emily Blunt’s character, Princess Mary of Lilliput. 2 years later they worked together again on The Five-Year Engagement, a romantic comedy about a couple whose engagement is interrupted and postponed for a long time by a series of events that test their relationship. These events put the couple’s love for each other to the test and allow them to discover whether it’s true that they are really in love with each other.
9. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz
The first time this couple appeared in a movie together was in 2001. The movie we’re talking about is Vanilla Sky, a popular psychological thriller that was full of suspense. The whole story is narrated by Cruise’s character, who is supposed to be in an interrogation room confessing everything that happened to a psychiatrist. A year later, Cameron made a small cameo appearance in the action and crime masterpiece Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise. And finally, in 2010 they were reunited to star in the action film called Knight and Day, which combines amusing pursuit scenes with hints of comedy and romance.
10. Elizabeth Banks and Paul Rudd
Wet Hot American Summer is a comedy about the last day of summer camp. This cult film was heavily criticized back when it was first released, but that didn’t stop both actors from working together again. In fact, they played a couple again in the comedy Role Models. They then worked together in Our Idiot Brother. But this time, Paul Rudd wasn’t really Banks’ partner. He was just a man who kept meddling in his sisters’ lives, one of them being Banks.

Normally, our eyelashes, eyelids, and tears work together to stop objects from entering our eyes or to quickly flush them out if they do get in. But still, it’s quite often that a small piece of sand or some dust does enter one of your eyes — like while riding a bike or when you’re at the beach, for instance. This can damage the surface of the cornea, which can be painful, so it’s important that you know how to get it out as soon as possible.
At Bright Side, we have listed some steps you can take to get something out of your eyes without damaging them more. And have you ever rubbed your eyes after cutting a chili pepper? Well, in the bonus section, you can find a special trick to mitigate this burning feeling quickly.
Knowing when you have to seek medical care
There will be times when you won’t be able to remove the irritant from your eye yourself, and seeking medical help right away is necessary. Consider the following cases: A chemical solvent gets into your eye.
A foreign object flies into the eye at high speeds.
A shard of glass or metal gets into the eye. If it’s some dust or sand, you might want to try to get it out yourself first. But if after flushing you continue to experience symptoms like redness, abnormal vision, or pain, call a doctor to have it checked out.
1. Wash your hands before you touch your eyes.
This step is easily forgotten, especially in cases where you would like to remove the irritant as fast as possible. However, it’s very important that before you touch your eyes, your hands are germ-free. You will lessen the risk of getting unwanted bacteria or even more dirt in your eyes, avoiding some very unpleasant eye conditions.
2. Try to blink and allow your tears to wash it out. Do not rub your eye.
Rubbing your eyes is a natural reaction that almost everyone has when they feel something land in their eye. But this might actually cause even more damage to your eyes. So try to fight this urge and attempt to remove the sand or dust by blinking multiple times. This is the normal way in which your body keeps your eyes safe from potentially dangerous objects and it might just do the trick to freeing your eye of the irritant.
3. See if you can spot what got in your eye.
Once you’re in a well-lit spot, just look to up, then down, and to the sides. See if you can spot the object right away. If you can’t find it immediately, it may be located on the inside of one of the eyelids. To examine the upper lid, it might help to place a q-tip on the outside and gently fold the lid over its tip. Then look down and see if you can find it. For the lower lid, first, look up and then grasp the lower eyelid, gently pulling it down.
4. Take small grains of sand or dust out with a rolling motion, using a Q-tip.
If you find an object inside of your eyelid, you can try to take it out with a damp Q-tip. Hold your eyelid with one finger and then place the swab against it. With a rolling motion, keeping away from the eye, you can take out the irritant safely.
5. Submerge your eye in (clean) water.
If you have an eye cup available, use it. First, rinse the eye cup and don’t let anything else touch the rim or the inside. Fill the cup up halfway with fresh water or eyewash, if available. Then put the cup over the eye to be rinsed, pressing the cup tightly to your skin to keep the liquid from leaking out. Tilt your head back and open your eye wide. Move your eye from side to side and up and down to allow the liquid to wash all parts of the eye.
If running water over your eye scares you a bit, you can always choose this option. Simply get yourself a bowl of water and put your head into it with your eyes open. Move your eyes around so that the water can rinse all parts. When getting up, blink a few times and check to see if the irritant is gone.
A third option is to hold your eye in some running water, from either the tap or the shower. Hold the lower eyelid slightly downward with your head tilted to one side. Have a small stream of water flush out the unwanted object.
6. Flush your eyes out for the right amount of time.
It is important to know for how long your eye needs rinsing. For anything mildly irritating, like hand soap or shampoo, 5 minutes should be enough. When chemicals get in your eye, make sure you flush them for at least 15 minutes. For penetrating alkalis (e.g. sodium or calcium hydroxide), rinse for at least 60 minutes. And remember, when you get chemicals in your eye, you always have to seek medical attention too!
7. Have a friend help you.
If you are having trouble, you can always ask a friend to do the examination for you. This person is probably slightly calmer and can look for the piece stuck in your eye. Pull your own eyelid down and look up, slowly enough that the inspector has a chance to examine your eye well. Make sure he or she washes their hands first!
Bonus: what to do when you rub hot chili pepper into your eye
It’s better not to wash it out with water since this will only make the burning feeling worse. In a situation like this, you can use milk because it’s acidic and breaks down the capsaicin in hot peppers, thus relieving the pain. First, wash your hands with soap and then soak them in some milk to get rid of any chili oil from your fingers. Then gently pat some paper soaked in milk against the eye.
