Gloomy weather boosts our brain, helping us to focus and think more deeply, psychologists say. Our memory works better on cloudy and rainy days than sunny ones. Perhaps on bright days, we’re too busy being happy.
We at Bright Side did our homework and learned more about the effects weather can have on us.
1. Your limbs might get swollen.
On extremely hot and humid days, your body can have problems cooling itself down. Normally, it directs warm blood toward the skin’s surface where it cools by sweating. But in hot temperatures, the sweat doesn’t vaporize, so instead, fluid gathers in your limbs, making them swell up. What to do: Cool off by other means, like a fan or dehumidifier. After a few days, your body will get used to the hot weather and the swelling will go away.
2. You can have a higher risk of a heart attack.
Extreme weather can put a strain on your heart. Cold temps make your heart work harder to keep your body warm yet it causes blood vessels to constrict and decrease oxygen delivery to the heart itself. This mismatch of supply and demand may end dramatically in a heart attack or stroke. The same also applies to wind and snow, according to research. What to do: Avoid overexertion — don’t physically overwork and overheat.
3. Your skin might be displeased.
As the weather cools, the air gets less moist, which can be seen through our skin. It becomes dry, cracked, and itchy, sometimes aggravating pre-existing conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Strong winds can also impair the skin’s protective lipid barrier, causing bleeding. What to do: Use moisturizers and sunscreen and avoid long, hot showers since they remove natural oils your skin produces.
4. Your hair and nails might weaken.
In winter, your hair and nails face the same problem as your skin. Blood vessels become narrow and the supply of nutrition and oxygen reduces. Of course, it weakens hair and nails, making them dry and brittle, and more prone to cuts and injuries. What to do: Shower no longer than 5-10 minutes in warm (not hot!) water. Moisturize, skip harsh soaps, and don’t be too zealous with hand-washing. Use less shampoo and more conditioner.
5. You might experience joint pain.
There’s truth to those who claim they can feel a storm coming in their bones. A drop in barometric pressure may turn joints achy and sore, especially for people with arthritis. The fluids inside the joints get thicker at low temperatures, so our bones feel stiffer. Cold weather also tightens muscles and tendons since the blood flow redirects from limbs to central organs to keep them warm. What to do: Stay warm! It pushes blood flow, improves pain tolerance, and relieves muscles. Exercise routines also fend off pain and stiffness.
6. Your allergies could worsen.
Weather influences seasonal allergies, causing watery eyes on windy days, stuffy noses during rain, and more. Specific weather triggers natural processes like tree pollination, which we can be allergic to. The immune system deems all that mold and pollen unsafe and activates defensive mechanisms like itching, sneezing, and a runny nose. None of these are actually dangerous, but they’re unpleasant all the same. What to do: Learn when mold and pollen season peaks in your area and avoid the outdoors during those times. Use a dehumidifier and an air conditioner to filter the air and ward off allergens.
7. You probably become deficient in vitamin D.
One of the main sources of vitamin D for us is sunlight. Cold seasons bring shorter days and people tend to stay inside more — inevitably, not getting enough sun. As a result, our vitamin D levels drop. Nasty symptoms of this type of deficiency include muscle weakness, high blood pressure, stress fractures, and greater pain sensitivity. What to do: Get your vitamin D from a different source. Eat more egg yolks, mushrooms, and fatty fish like salmon and tuna; and drink orange juice and fortified milk.
8. You might get caught in a blue mood.
With less sunlight in autumn and winter, you may experience unexplained tiredness. Low energy and exhaustion are symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), striking during the colder months due to a lack of vitamin D. It affects levels of serotonin — with less vitamin D, your brain produces less serotonin, making you likely to feel sad, cranky, and sleepy. What to do: Get as much light exposure as possible and eat vitamin D-loaded foods. Also, try to spend more time outside, exercise, and get good sleep.
9. You might have migraines and headaches more often.
The cold makes our blood vessels narrow, slowing the blood flow within. Less blood arrives in the brain, which may lead to severe headaches. And if you have a history of migraines, almost any weather change can be a trigger for an attack. Strong winds, extreme cold, bright sun, dryness, and drops in barometric pressure are among the worst offenders. What to do: If you suffer from migraines, always keep a diary and try to write down the signs before the attack. When you figure out the pattern, it’ll be easier to prepare.
10. Your asthma might do a flip.
Strong weather may trigger an asthma attack since any changes in the air can easily irritate inflamed airways. Hot, humid air is heavier and harder to breathe. Cold, dry air dehydrates the airways, swelling them and restricting airflow. And wet weather hosts mold growth, while the wind blows mold and pollen everywhere. What to do: Keep your inhaler close and your neck and chest warm in cold weather, hydrate, wash your hands often, and use an air purifier.

Myth 14 .
There should always be a bright clothing accent .
Myth 15 .
Headscarves are only for older women .

The saying, “Rules exist to be broken” — is extremely true for fashion. Today, it’s no longer possible to follow the rules of style that were instilled in us by our mothers and grandmothers. It’s time to reconsider this outdated concept of style — some things should be forgotten completely, and others should be just slightly updated.
We at Bright Side are very meticulous about fashion trends, so we were in a rush to find out which style rules are hopelessly outdated and only exist to ruin the look of people who continue to follow them.
Myth 1. Small breasts need to be hidden or visually enlarged.
Push-up bras with 3 layers of padding are no longer relevant. Small breasts are becoming trendy as another form of body positivity. If, in the past, women with small breasts resorted to various tricks and artificially enlarged their breasts, now, this is no longer necessary — many women have discarded outdated stereotypes about the necessity to have large breasts and dared to be themselves.
Myth 2. It’s necessary to wear a belt with jeans or trousers.
Many people still believe that it’s necessary to wear a belt if there are belt loops on your trousers. However, this idea might just overload your look. And if the trousers fit your body perfectly and don’t fall off, you can totally go without a belt. If you wear a simple outfit like jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers, this accessory will be superfluous. But when you create a more formal look with trousers and a shirt, it can serve as an additional accent that will make your look more elegant.
Myth 3. One of the print colors should be represented in other clothing items.
It’s said that if you wear a 3-color dress (for example, a print that combines red, green, and orange), the accessories you wear should be of one of these shades. But modern fashion is breaking this rule. If your outfit is bright, it’s already an accent, so there is no need to incorporate the colors already present in the outfit into the rest of the elements of your look.
Myth 4. You can’t mix prints.
A person dressed in the same print from head to toe can make you feel dizzy. But if we use the same print in a different size, for example, polka dots or stripes, the look will become much more interesting. The greater the contrast is, the more fashionable your outfit will be considered these days. So it’s time to experiment. “Animal” prints go well with both graphic and pictorial patterns. But they look best with each other. One of the more successful combinations is geometric patterns combined with natural patterns. Two graphic prints (for example, check and polka dots) wonderfully coexist with each other when they belong to the same color scheme and to different ones. Stripes go well with any pattern and can be used just like neutral black or denim clothing. And it is simply impossible to do anything wrong by combining 2 different prints in black and white.
Myth 5. Denim doesn’t go well with denim.
The combination of denim jackets with denim trousers was jokingly nicknamed the “Canadian tuxedo.” But today, a total denim look is no longer considered a sign of poor taste — many celebrity fashionistas love to combine several denim items in one look. If you try this clothing combination in real life, you’ll see how good this approach is. The main thing to remember is to select the top and bottom in the same or similar shades of denim.
Myth 6. You need to hide your underwear.
Things that combine the functions of underwear and everyday wear are gaining tremendous popularity. For example, various bodysuits can be worn instead of a blouse or a T-shirt. The same applies to bralettes, which have already become an integral part of an everyday outfit. Now, they look like a combination of a crop top and a bra. By the way, bralettes and harnesses can even be worn over clothing. Just remember, the outfit shouldn’t be unnecessarily revealing.
Myth 7. White clothes are only for summer.
Light colors are a practical solution for a warm summer day. But don’t forget about them in the autumn-winter season. When it becomes cold outside, many people immediately switch to dark and nondescript shades. However, it’s the color white that makes the look unbeatably chic. In addition, if the base of the outfit is white (like for example, a coat or a down jacket), it becomes a kind of a canvas on which you can draw. One of the most stylish, simple, and elegant ways to put your outfit together is to add colorful accessories.
Myth 8. You can’t wear headwear indoors.
Hat etiquette originally appeared as a way to show respect, and it was mandatory. Slowly but surely, men and women are breaking this tradition by wearing hats whenever and wherever they feel like it. Especially, if the headpiece is an important part of the look. Of course, it’s better to consider the circumstances — sometimes, you need to take off your hat in a public place, like if it blocks the view and gets in the way of other people who are watching a movie or a play. But indoors, women should only take off their hats if they wear them strictly to keep themselves warm. As for baseball caps, the rules are the same for everyone — it’s still better to take them off indoors, except for airports, sporting events, and elevators.
Myth 9. Wearing sparkly clothes during the day is a sign of bad manners.
In the past, shiny things were part of eveningwear, so it was believed that in everyday life, they looked ridiculous. But it’s possible to successfully incorporate lurex, sequins, and even rhinestones into our everyday outfits. We just have to follow one rule — shiny details are best combined with clothes that are as neutral as possible.
Myth 10. Horizontal stripes make you look bigger.
At the end of the 19th century, German physicist and physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz showed that a square with horizontal lines looks taller and thinner than exactly the same one, but with vertical lines. This rule also applies to clothing — if 2 people, wearing the same size clothes, get dressed in a dress with horizontal stripes and in a dress with vertical ones, a person in a dress with horizontal stripes will be perceived as slimmer. But keep in mind that the print with the horizontal stripes is also not as simple as it seems. It all depends on the width of the stripes — the wider and less frequent the stripes are, the heavier the silhouette will seem. To make your body slimmer for sure, it’s better to choose diagonal stripes. They’re more dynamic and they visually lengthen the figure.
Myth 11: Red lipstick is only for the evening.
Red lipstick is very bright, so many women are afraid of it and use it only when creating their evening looks. But this is a mistake. Daytime makeup can also look great with red lipstick. You just have to be moderate with your other makeup in order to not overdo it with the accents on your face.
Myth 12. Light-colored shoes can’t be worn with black tights.
Many items from your wardrobe can be seen in a new light if you come up with trendy combinations. The contrast of light-colored shoes with black tights looks very unusual but still elegant. It can become a bright solution and the main accent in the look. The main thing is that the tights shouldn’t be very thick and the rest of the outfit should consist of neutral accessories and colors.
Myth 13. High heels don’t look good on tall women.
It used to be believed that a person shouldn’t stand out from the crowd and be too noticeable. But we must admit that high heels look great on tall girls, making their already endless legs even longer. The main thing is to feel confident when you’re wearing heels and to maintain your posture.
Myth 14. There should always be a bright clothing accent.
The world has discovered minimalism. And designers urge everyone to pay attention to this clothing style. Straight lines, basic and natural colors, clear silhouettes, and laconic models are now at the peak of popularity. Try wearing accessories in neutral colors — black, white, or any shade of brown, and you’ll appreciate how they magically go well with any outfit.
Myth 15. Headscarves are only for older women.
Scarfs have literally burst into the fashion world, and we can and should wear them on our bag, neck, belt, and, of course, on our head. You can casually weave this accessory into your hairstyle or gently wrap a bun with it and release the ends of the scarf at the bottom of the hairstyle. You can wrap your head in a creative way with a handkerchief, or just tie it up. In the latter case, it is important to choose modern clothes so you don’t look old-fashioned. To create a modern look, it’s better to combine a scarf with a fur coat or a down jacket. This way, you won’t have to think about what kind of headdress you should choose for each piece of your outerwear. All ingenious things are simple.
Myth 16. Overalls are old-fashioned.
Today, classic denim overall models with straps aren’t trendy anymore. But overalls with long sleeves in a “worker” style, decorated with large pockets and a zipper in the middle of the outfit, are in style. Most often, fashionistas combine these overalls with sneakers or cowboy shoes. And pay attention to the overalls with voluminous sleeves.

After the hit sitcom, Friends, was released in the ’90s, Jennifer Aniston became a role model for many young girls — and served as major hair inspiration for years. However, we love her for reasons that go beyond her appearance and recognize her for her incredible personality.
We at Bright Side are in love with Jennifer Aniston and here are some facts that prove why she’s a person who deserves to be famous.
1. She makes children’s lives happier and easier.
For more than a decade now, Jennifer Aniston has visited St. Jude Children’s Hospital to help kids who are sick with cancer. She even keeps in touch with the families she meets there. Children love and wait for her, not because she’s a celebrity, but because she has a generous personality. Aniston says that she started doing everything she could because they’re little heroes. She said, “You see these little miracles walking through something that no child should ever have to be walking through.”
2. She inspires people with speeches about their power.
In 2019, Aniston gave an inspirational speech that touched many hearts. She confessed that she had never thought of herself as a powerful person. At the age of 11, she was excused from a dinner table because she didn’t have “anything interesting to add to the conversation.” This situation stuck with her. So, last year, the actress was thinking about how messages that we send to young girls influence them and explained, “How the things we say and do can either build them up — or tear them down. And make them feel like maybe their voices don’t matter.” Aniston claims that every kid deserves a seat at the table. Girls should know that they’re seen, loved, and powerful. And “true power” is your voice “to hold people up and bring people together.”
3. She supports many non-profit organizations.
Besides working with St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Aniston is incredibly philanthropic and makes other people’s lives better. She’s a part of the Stand Up to Cancer campaign where she and other celebs aim to raise awareness about cancer. Additionally, Aniston donated around $1 million to several racial justice charities. She’s not afraid to talk about brutality and racism and says that it will never be okay. We need to acknowledge it and educate ourselves. Aniston’s generous heart has helped raise more than $58 million for Haiti by being an active part of hope for the country. And her list of kind actions just goes on and on.
4. She shows us how to be happy and never give up.
It’s truly amazing how great Jennifer Aniston looks at age of 51, but she explains that happiness is the main key and it’s a choice. She has her own philosophy on life and is not one to worry or suffer: “It’s my way; it’s what I’ve been given this round. But I would say I don’t find that any of my past has given me a reason to harden up and create a shell or a wall of ’no more, that’s it, I’m closed.’” In regards to the question of what she’d say to the younger version of herself if she could go back in time, Aniston responds: “Just wait till you’re 50. It’s going to be amazing.” She appreciates her age and is not sad that people get old. The actress just creates a special relaxed atmosphere around herself, and her smile and sense of humor make people fall in love with her.
5. She fights for women’s rights and freedom.
Aniston tries to explain to society that if you’re not a mother, it doesn’t mean that you’re less of a woman: “I don’t like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women — that you’ve failed yourself as a female because you haven’t procreated. I don’t think it’s fair.” You still take care of pets, friends, friends’ children. And there’s nothing criminal about wearing a bikini at 80 if you want." For Aniston, one of the most important things women can do is support each other. She says that we need more female screenwriters because we need more female stories. Their stories are incredible too.
6. She fights against body-shaming.
Aniston tries to explain about women: “I’m just a girl...standing with hair and makeup. A stylist. A photographer. A lighting crew, wind machine, props, and a computer...asking you to think I woke up like this.” She is just the same as other women and it’s normal to gain weight and get old. She can’t stand body-shaming: “The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing.” The message that a girl is not beautiful just because she’s not incredibly thin is ridiculous," the actress shares. “It’s speculation. Each person has the right to gain weight without feeling guilty and physical ’imperfections’ shouldn’t be discussed that much.”
7. She has the ability to always be there for you.
The cultivation of friendships is crucial for Jennifer Aniston. To “be there for you” is not just a line from the Friends theme song — it’s a real thing. According to her, if we support those beautiful women when they’re young, they’ll support you as you get older. One of the most powerful things, according to Aniston, is the fact that she was able to develop friendships with people over the course of 30 years. She has lots of friends who are with her through both good and bad days.
8. She stays wise when relationships are over.
Aniston shares that when a relationship ends, it’s important to have “closure.” It works for romantic relationships and friendship: “You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.” Not so long ago, she had an online reunion with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Aniston was smiling the whole time and we feel happy that they managed to maintain a friendly atmosphere.
9. She stays humble.
Although Jennifer Aniston has become one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, she still is humble, doesn’t like to show off, and treats her fans very kindly. She doesn’t feel overwhelmed, but most of the time, she “genuinely enjoys the exchange.” It’s no wonder that with this kind of attitude, she continues to serve as a role model for many young girls.

After becoming one of the most famous pop bands in the world in the ’ 90s and early 2000s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 2006 .
Then , they came back and even managed to win over a new generation ’ s heart .
Today , Kevin ( 48 years old ) , Brian ( 45 years old ) , Nick ( 40 years old ) , Howie ( 47 years old ) , and A.J .
( 42 years old ) are still active , giving concerts and touring around the world .
In total , they ’ ve been active for about 27 years ... Not too bad , right ?
Singer , dancer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ JC Chasez has conquered more than one teenage heart since he was a member of the band NSYNC .
Oh , how many times we wondered who was really leading the band , him or Justin !
But thanks to Chasez ’ s charisma , he sort of became that element that held the whole band together in perfect harmony .
Chasez is now 44 years old and , although he gave up his solo career , he is still in the music business composing songs for other artists .
The Spice Girls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for pop music back in the 1990s and early 2000s .
Each of the girl ’ s personalities ( Geri , Melanie C , Victoria , Melanie B , and Emma ) attracted a different type of crowd of young people in their time .
After experiencing some difficulties between members , the group disbanded in 2001 .
However , in 2007 they returned to the stage after successfully bonding again and repairing the relationship between the 5 of them .
Today , all of them have celebrated their 40th birthday , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , of course , except for Victoria , who is now more dedicated to her public image as a soloist .
What kind of list would this be if we didn ’ t add the beautiful and charismatic “ Queen Bee ” Rachel McAdams .
She was launched to fame after playing Regina George in the modern classic rom-com Mean Girls .
Her obnoxious but equally adorable character is remembered for making Lindsay Lohan ’ s life miserable .
Her great performance didn ’ t leave anyone indifferent and she soon became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actress proved that she was not only a talented rom-com actress .

Thanks to her skills and dedication she has already received , at the age of 41 , several nominations for important awards like an Oscar , a BAFTA , and a SAG .
The popular and amazing “ Leo ” DiCaprio became every teenage girl ’ s dream boy from the 2000s , after his stunning performance as Jack Dawson in Titanic .
But that wasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again he has gone out of his comfort zone , which is why he became one of the best actors of our time .
At the age of 45 , he ’ s still rocking the set and delivering one great performance after the other .
On top of that , he is also known for his engagement in the fight against climate change .
Freddie Prinze , Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar met in the 1990s on the set of the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer ... and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2000s , they appeared in virtually all of the magazines covering the lives of celebrities .
They were the example of the perfect relationship , which finally led them to walk down the aisle in 2002 .
Since they met and fell in love , they have been one of the most solid couples in Hollywood ’ s history .
And even if roughly 20 years have passed and Freddie is 44 and Sarah Michelle 43 , they are still the perfect example of how happy endings don ’ t just happen in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now and lead a happy life .
Nick Lachey is known for having been a member of another of those vibrant and short-lived boy bands that were so typical of the 90s .
His was called 98 Degrees and it has split up and reunited several times since it was first created in 1995 .
But that isn ’ t Lachey ’ s sole source of fame .
For a while , he appeared on many magazine covers because he was dating pop singer Jessica Simpson , whom he eventually married .
Too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lasted for 4 years .
At 46 , he is still active on social media , but in the last 3 years or so we haven ’ t really seen him anywhere near showbiz .
The famous Nickelodeon twins of the ’ 90s , Tia and Tamera Mowry , are now 42 years old .
And even if they were both amazingly skilled actresses , Tia is the only one that is still active in television series and movies .
But the great thing is that they are still very close .
Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ young as when we first saw them on TV !
If we are going to talk about the real teenage icons of the late 1990s and early 2000s , there ’ s no way we can leave out Melissa Joan Hart .
She first became famous for playing Clarissa , but she really hit the jackpot when she brought Sabrina , the teenage witch of Archie ’ s world , to the small screens of teenagers all over the world .
And although it seemed that Melissa would remain a teenager for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that she has turned 44 .
She is actually a mother now and , while she ’ s decided to dedicate her life to acting , she also shares her day-to-day life on social media .
More than one teenage girl fell for the iconic bad boy of Hollywood , Ryan Phillippe .
And it ’ s kind of funny because he wasn ’ t particularly rebellious outside of the sets , that is .
Clearly , his character in the film Cruel Intentions was far from being the guy you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And even if you wouldn ’ t believe it , he is now 46 years old and already the father of 2 children .
He is still acting but hasn ’ t announced any new projects in a while .
The controversial rapper who gave us plenty to talk about in the early 2000s is about to turn 48 .
Yep , that ’ s almost 50 !
And although his songs are no longer known for their sharp criticism of the music industry , he is still a respected figure in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his projects are of course much more mature and developed .
Still , it will be hard for millennials to forget Eminem ’ s rebellious yet sensitive image that granted him immense success .
At 42 years old , Ashton Kutcher is no longer the scatterbrained Kelso we saw on That ’ 70s Show or the prankster who hosted MTV ’ s Punk ’ d .
He is now married to Mila Kunis , with whom he has 2 children .
His life has changed quite a bit since those crazy years after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is now focused on other more mature projects , as well as some altruistic and socially responsible campaigns .

Bright Side wanted to take a one-way ticket to the past on the Nostalgia Express by comparing how our teen idols look today and how they looked back when thinking of having a device with a touchscreen meant that you were reading too many sci-fi stories. Some of them have changed so much, you won’t even be able to recognize them!
1. The Backstreet Boys
Although the concept of a “boy band” seems a bit obsolete today, for the Backstreet Boys that has never been a problem. After becoming one of the most famous pop bands in the world in the ’90s and early 2000s, they took a break from 2003 to 2006. Then, they came back and even managed to win over a new generation’s heart. Today, Kevin (48 years old), Brian (45 years old), Nick (40 years old), Howie (47 years old), and A.J. (42 years old) are still active, giving concerts and touring around the world. In total, they’ve been active for about 27 years... Not too bad, right?
2. JC Chasez
Singer, dancer, composer, producer, and actor JC Chasez has conquered more than one teenage heart since he was a member of the band NSYNC. Oh, how many times we wondered who was really leading the band, him or Justin! But thanks to Chasez’s charisma, he sort of became that element that held the whole band together in perfect harmony. Chasez is now 44 years old and, although he gave up his solo career, he is still in the music business composing songs for other artists.
3. Spice Girls
The Spice Girls were a completely new and revolutionary phenomenon for pop music back in the 1990s and early 2000s. Each of the girl’s personalities (Geri, Melanie C, Victoria, Melanie B, and Emma) attracted a different type of crowd of young people in their time. After experiencing some difficulties between members, the group disbanded in 2001. However, in 2007 they returned to the stage after successfully bonding again and repairing the relationship between the 5 of them. Today, all of them have celebrated their 40th birthday, but they continue to give concerts. That is, of course, except for Victoria, who is now more dedicated to her public image as a soloist.
4. Rachel McAdams
What kind of list would this be if we didn’t add the beautiful and charismatic “Queen Bee” Rachel McAdams. She was launched to fame after playing Regina George in the modern classic rom-com Mean Girls. Her obnoxious but equally adorable character is remembered for making Lindsay Lohan’s life miserable. Her great performance didn’t leave anyone indifferent and she soon became a youthful idol. However, the actress proved that she was not only a talented rom-com actress. She has since played other roles that are demanding and interesting as well. Thanks to her skills and dedication she has already received, at the age of 41, several nominations for important awards like an Oscar, a BAFTA, and a SAG.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio
The popular and amazing “Leo” DiCaprio became every teenage girl’s dream boy from the 2000s, after his stunning performance as Jack Dawson in Titanic. But that wasn’t enough for him. Time and again he has gone out of his comfort zone, which is why he became one of the best actors of our time. At the age of 45, he’s still rocking the set and delivering one great performance after the other. On top of that, he is also known for his engagement in the fight against climate change.
6. Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar
Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar met in the 1990s on the set of the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer... and the rest is history. In the early 2000s, they appeared in virtually all of the magazines covering the lives of celebrities. They were the example of the perfect relationship, which finally led them to walk down the aisle in 2002. Since they met and fell in love, they have been one of the most solid couples in Hollywood’s history. And even if roughly 20 years have passed and Freddie is 44 and Sarah Michelle 43, they are still the perfect example of how happy endings don’t just happen in the movies. They are both parents now and lead a happy life.
7. Nick Lachey
Nick Lachey is known for having been a member of another of those vibrant and short-lived boy bands that were so typical of the 90s. His was called 98 Degrees and it has split up and reunited several times since it was first created in 1995. But that isn’t Lachey’s sole source of fame. For a while, he appeared on many magazine covers because he was dating pop singer Jessica Simpson, whom he eventually married. Too bad their “dream” marriage only lasted for 4 years. At 46, he is still active on social media, but in the last 3 years or so we haven’t really seen him anywhere near showbiz.
8. Tia and Tamera
The famous Nickelodeon twins of the ’90s, Tia and Tamera Mowry, are now 42 years old. And even if they were both amazingly skilled actresses, Tia is the only one that is still active in television series and movies. But the great thing is that they are still very close. Also, notice how they look just as young as when we first saw them on TV!
9. Mark Hoppus
The bass guitarist and co-vocalist of Blink-182 known for his rebellious attitude, Mark Hoppus, is now 48 years old. And while he is still involved in many projects related to the music industry, mainly writing and producing songs for other artists, he got a complete makeover and left behind his rebel-without-a-cause teenage look.
10. Rider Strong
Boy Meets World co-star, Rider Strong, is already in his 40s. Strong has appeared in a few television series in recent years and, of course, he also played a part in some of the episodes of the spin-off of the series that made him famous, Girl Meets World, that aired in 2004.
11. Melissa Joan Hart
If we are going to talk about the real teenage icons of the late 1990s and early 2000s, there’s no way we can leave out Melissa Joan Hart. She first became famous for playing Clarissa, but she really hit the jackpot when she brought Sabrina, the teenage witch of Archie’s world, to the small screens of teenagers all over the world. And although it seemed that Melissa would remain a teenager for the rest of her life, the truth is that she has turned 44. She is actually a mother now and, while she’s decided to dedicate her life to acting, she also shares her day-to-day life on social media.
12. Joshua Jackson
Famous for bringing Pacey Witter’s character to the small screen in Warner Brothers’ Dawson’s Creek, Joshua Jackson managed to get everything a celebrity could have wished to have in the 2000s. Now, at 42, he is the star of the miniseries Little Fires Everywhere.
13. Ryan Phillippe
More than one teenage girl fell for the iconic bad boy of Hollywood, Ryan Phillippe. And it’s kind of funny because he wasn’t particularly rebellious outside of the sets, that is. Clearly, his character in the film Cruel Intentions was far from being the guy you’d want to introduce to your parents. And even if you wouldn’t believe it, he is now 46 years old and already the father of 2 children. He is still acting but hasn’t announced any new projects in a while.
14. Eminem
The controversial rapper who gave us plenty to talk about in the early 2000s is about to turn 48. Yep, that’s almost 50! And although his songs are no longer known for their sharp criticism of the music industry, he is still a respected figure in the music of his genre. Today his projects are of course much more mature and developed. Still, it will be hard for millennials to forget Eminem’s rebellious yet sensitive image that granted him immense success.
15. Ashton Kutcher
At 42 years old, Ashton Kutcher is no longer the scatterbrained Kelso we saw on That ’70s Show or the prankster who hosted MTV’s Punk’d. He is now married to Mila Kunis, with whom he has 2 children. His life has changed quite a bit since those crazy years after he dated actress Demi Moore. He is now focused on other more mature projects, as well as some altruistic and socially responsible campaigns.
16. Jared Leto
In the early 2000s, Jared Leto’s name was in everyone’s mouth, either because they were talking about the movies he starred in or because they listened to the music he composed. As the lead singer of the alternative punk-rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, Jared’s style has changed several times over these years. Now, at 48, he remains a renowned actor and musician, as well as a committed philanthropist.

We at Bright Side got a little bit nostalgic and decided to reminisce about the popular series of the past and see how much our favorite actors have changed.
1. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox — Friends
The TV series, Friends, was released in 1994. During its 10 years on air, 10 seasons were released.

Today, Kyle MacLachlan, the actor that portrayed one of the main characters, is 61 years old and he continues to act in movies.

8. Blake Lively — Gossip Girl
This teenage drama, based on the novels written by Cecily Brooke von Ziegesar, premiered in 2007. It is interesting that the main part was supposed to be played by Lindsay Lohan, but in the end, Blake Lively got the role. Since then, her career has been steadily developing. Now, the 33-year-old actress is working on several different projects at the same time.

This might sound unbelievable, but the actress is 53 years old now.

Now, he is 47 years old, he lives in Hawaii, and he plans to appear in new projects.
12. Kim Cattrall — Sex and the City
From 1998 to 2004 this show made women happy all around the world. It’s probably the most popular show of the early 2000s. We loved the story of the 4 friends, we loved asking ourselves the same uncomfortable questions about relationships, and we enjoyed the clothes of the main characters. One of the most interesting characters was Samantha played by Kim Cattrall, who is now 64 years old.
13. Lisa Edelstein — House, M.D.
The first season of the show about genius doctor Gregory House and his team was released in 2004 and became incredibly popular around the world.

16. Sarah Michelle Gellar — Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This popular teenage show about a cute girl that fought vampires was based on a movie. The story was so captivating that the show aired from 1997 until 2003. By the way, it made the 21-year-old actress Sarah Michelle Gellar a big star. Now, she is 43 years old and, unfortunately, she doesn’t appear onscreen very often.
17. Josh Radnor — How I Met Your Mother
The comedy show about an architect named Ted that tries to find the love of his life made the fans happy for 9 seasons. During this time, all the characters almost became parts of the families of their fans and when the show ended in 2014, it was really hard to say goodbye to the characters. Now, actor Josh Radnor is 46 years old, but in our hearts, he is still the same romantic Ted.
18. Gillian Anderson — The X-Files
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny kept us on the edge of our seats for 11 seasons. The show aired from 1993 to 2018 and in the ’90s, it became the main sci-fi TV project. And Gillian Anderson was just amazing in the series. Now, she is 52 years old, she looks different, but she continues to appear in big popular projects.
19. Noah Wyle — ER
This project was one of the longest-running TV series about medicine in the history of the US. It started in 1994 and ended in 2009. Maybe, it was so successful because of the script — all the medical cases shown were based on true events. The star of ER, Noah Wyle, who portrayed Dr. Carter, is 49 years old now and he continues to make his fans happy with his new roles in other TV series.

First invented by accident in the 1940s, the microwave is now one of the major kitchen appliances in every household. While this contraption means convenience for cooking and reheating, there are specific types of foods that you should avoid cooking in the microwave at all costs.
We at Bright Side are here to help you keep safe and healthy. By observing these microwave no-no’s, you lessen the chances of a potential haphazard that may come about.
1. Boiled eggs
When you heat up a boiled egg in the microwave, steam builds up from water molecules causing a pressure build-up. Because eggs have a thin membrane and shell, they are unable to hold in all the pressure, which can lead to a very hot explosion in the microwave, on your plate, or even when you take a bite!
2. Carrots
Although carrots can be cooked and heated in a microwave, raw carrots, especially those with the peel still on, can be potentially dangerous. If carrots are not washed properly and have any residue of dirt, the minerals in the soil can cause sparks in the microwave, also known as arcing. Arcing can cause serious damage to your microwave if it continuously happens.
3. Processed meat
To begin with, processed meats are not the most nutritious of foods as they contain high amounts of salt, additives, chemicals, and preservatives. But when you add microwave radiation to your favorite deli meats and canned goods, your cholesterol levels can increase, which can lead to heart problems. The safest way to heat your hams and sausages is on the grill or on the stovetop.
4. Water
Heating up water in the microwave may seem like the simplest and most hassle-free of your options. But studies show that many burn cases come from scalding water heated in the microwave, especially when handled by children. The electromagnetic waves in a microwave oven can cause water to superheat, which makes water molecules unstable and can cause intense boiling and even explosions!
5. Chili peppers
Chili peppers, especially the really spicy ones, contain high levels of capsaicin, which can be quite flammable. When capsaicin is exposed to the electromagnetic waves in a microwave, it begins to smoke and can be prone to catching on fire! The fire and smoke that will be released from the microwave can cause skin irritation and burning sensations.
6. Chicken
Chicken is a popular culprit for spreading salmonella, especially when it’s not properly cooked! When you cook a piece of raw chicken in the microwave, the chances of even and thorough cooking are very slim, making it a potential hazard for bacterial contamination. The same thing can be said for other pieces of raw meat. It is best to cook meat thoroughly, over direct heat, like in a pan, on a grill, or in the oven.
7. Tomatoes & tomato sauce
Like boiled eggs, tomatoes can cause an explosive mess when they spend too much time in the microwave. Due to the liquid content in fresh tomatoes and pasta sauce, the pressure buildup causes them to bubble and spurt liquid, leaving your microwave covered in red spatters.

Being a mom means being the most patient and determined person in the world. Once a mother sets her mind to something, there’s virtually nothing anyone can do to stop her. But you don’t need great acts of love to see that. A mother’s determination can easily be spotted in all the small projects and things she does at work or around the house, and Reddit users have proof of it!
Bright Side browsed through all those beautiful examples of determination and care that show what the love of a mother really means, and here’s what we found. We hope all of us can learn a thing or 2 about determination from these great mothers.
