brightside--2020-12-09--Why Kids Don’t Owe Anything to Their Parents

Life has changed and the familiar family structures have shifted too .
That ’ s why , recently , philosophical literature has been avidly discussing the new , very real question : Can grown children ignore their filial obligation ?
This question appeared because many people are afraid to say “ no ” to their parents and are ready to sacrifice their own interests and dreams just not to hear their reproaches .
For this reason , there are many people who don ’ t live the life they want and who become hostages of feelings of guilt and debt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I wouldn ’ t exist without you , but my birth was your choice .
The favorite phrase of manipulator-parents goes like this : “ I carried you for 9 months , I didn ’ t sleep at night , and I never even left your crib — where is your gratitude now ?
” But those are pretty natural things that each woman who decided to become a mother does , aren ’ t they ?
A kid doesn ’ t even suspect that they might have to pay back all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And when they are asked to return the debt , the love for the parents will gradually start to fade away and a mutual reproach will arise that will later grow into a disappointment in each other .
Claims and demands for an adult kid appear when the birth of the baby was supposed to become a guarantor of certain expectations that were placed on this child .
In loving families , caring is a natural thing and parents take care of the new family member as something natural , that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any need to ask for a child ’ s gratitude in the future .
I have given you so much and I am sorry if that remained unnoticed .
From the very first minutes of their life , a kid gives their parents everything they have : their look , their hugs , their first words , their crafts , etc .
But parents need to have the strength and desire to notice everything their kid does for them .
If the little things go unnoticed and if adults are sure that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kid ’ s basic needs , it ’ s not surprising that this kid won ’ t feel a strong bond with their family in the future .
Needless to say that the desire to take care of elderly parents might not appear at all .
In the best-case scenario , the adult kid might continue to fulfill their parents ’ basic needs by buying products , medicine , and paying for their communal facilities , while at the same time trying to show up in their home as seldom as possible .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ closest people .
Parents undoubtedly play an important role in each person ’ s life , but this doesn ’ t mean they are the only people in the whole world their kid can rely on .
Unfortunately , the opposite situation might take place too — like when kids and parents have a misunderstanding , feel there is a lack of support , or that their parents are ignoring their issues .
Additionally , critiques from parents can hurt even more than critiques from a stranger , and it worsens the situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s attempts to honor their parents no matter what , one should assess the situation soberly — if you are facing neglect , humiliation , and you don ’ t have a desire to share your worries with your parents , then this is not a relationship between loved ones .
Don ’ t live in this illusionary world : if you were not supported from childhood , the odds are high that you won ’ t get any support in your adult life either .
In this case , this person has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their parents because they never saw this support from them .
On the contrary , if a parent unconditionally gave all their love to a child , when the kid grows up , they won ’ t feel the need to repay something , and the manifestation of care from the kid ’ s side will become a natural expression of all those feelings that they have accumulated over the years .
There is a friendship theory that says kids should be giving the same things to their parents as they do to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sustained voluntarily .
If a parent and a kid don ’ t share emotions with each other , then there shouldn ’ t be any filial obligations .
I won ’ t become the person you want me to be .
Parents might have some ideas about your future , but they should never interfere with the realization of your own ideas .
Being an adult means choosing your way by yourself and it can be similar to the life experience of your parents or it can be totally different .
From an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they want but if parents keep making choices for them , they will grow into an adult who will be scared of making mistakes and who will be always dependent on their circumstances and transfer the responsibility for their life to other people .
If you decide to give up on your own decision-making just for the sake of meeting your parents ’ expectations , this means you ’ re pretending to be someone else — someone you actually are not .
Sacrificing your dreams for family expectations is the best way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and live with these feelings for the rest of your life .
Healthy relationships in the family let us be ourselves .
If your situation is different , it high time you discuss this and set boundaries .
Oftentimes , the wish to spend every second with their kid appears because parents don ’ t have their own goals and interests in life .
And sometimes when a child grows up , this results in the parents demanding the same amount of focus on themselves as the kid had in their childhood .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ about a normal situation , kids grow up and start their life , while parents stay with each other and their personal achievements for the entire growing-up period of the baby .
The issue of the parents who didn ’ t want to settle in their life is that their grown kids , who want freedom , are now the “ glue , ” without which everything in the family will fall apart .
The kid will decide themselves what kind of help they are ready to give and demanding more from them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No matter how many kids and grandkids a person has , they should , first of all , be able to take care of themselves on their own .

Of course , within the first few years of a kid ’ s life , almost all the time of their parents is dedicated to them but the way parents manage their time in the future depends only on them .

According to research by American sociologists , there is a big difference between the level of financial support that parents expect to receive and the help that children plan to provide : 92 % of surveyed parents said that they don ’ t expect any financial support from their children in retirement , only 1 % expect full support , 2 % expect that their children will bear most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that their children will provide support as needed .
Despite the fact that most parents don ’ t expect any support , 63 % of kids said that they are planning to help their retired parents financially .
61 % are ready to let their parents live with them when they stop working .

Life has changed and the familiar family structures have shifted too. That’s why, recently, philosophical literature has been avidly discussing the new, very real question: Can grown children ignore their filial obligation? This question appeared because many people are afraid to say “no” to their parents and are ready to sacrifice their own interests and dreams just not to hear their reproaches. For this reason, there are many people who don’t live the life they want and who become hostages of feelings of guilt and debt that are actually impossible to repay.
Bright Side decided to touch on this serious topic and help grown kids understand where that thin line between gratitude and voluntary self-sacrifice is.
I wouldn’t exist without you, but my birth was your choice.
The favorite phrase of manipulator-parents goes like this: “I carried you for 9 months, I didn’t sleep at night, and I never even left your crib — where is your gratitude now?” But those are pretty natural things that each woman who decided to become a mother does, aren’t they? A kid doesn’t even suspect that they might have to pay back all the care and warmth they are getting now. And when they are asked to return the debt, the love for the parents will gradually start to fade away and a mutual reproach will arise that will later grow into a disappointment in each other. Claims and demands for an adult kid appear when the birth of the baby was supposed to become a guarantor of certain expectations that were placed on this child. In loving families, caring is a natural thing and parents take care of the new family member as something natural, that’s why there won’t be any need to ask for a child’s gratitude in the future.

Parents don’t always become your closest people.
Parents undoubtedly play an important role in each person’s life, but this doesn’t mean they are the only people in the whole world their kid can rely on. Unfortunately, the opposite situation might take place too — like when kids and parents have a misunderstanding, feel there is a lack of support, or that their parents are ignoring their issues.

Despite some people’s attempts to honor their parents no matter what, one should assess the situation soberly — if you are facing neglect, humiliation, and you don’t have a desire to share your worries with your parents, then this is not a relationship between loved ones. Don’t live in this illusionary world: if you were not supported from childhood, the odds are high that you won’t get any support in your adult life either. In this case, this person has the full right to refuse to support their parents because they never saw this support from them. On the contrary, if a parent unconditionally gave all their love to a child, when the kid grows up, they won’t feel the need to repay something, and the manifestation of care from the kid’s side will become a natural expression of all those feelings that they have accumulated over the years. There is a friendship theory that says kids should be giving the same things to their parents as they do to their friends, because friendship relationships are sustained voluntarily. If a parent and a kid don’t share emotions with each other, then there shouldn’t be any filial obligations.
I won’t become the person you want me to be.
Parents might have some ideas about your future, but they should never interfere with the realization of your own ideas. Being an adult means choosing your way by yourself and it can be similar to the life experience of your parents or it can be totally different. From an early age, a kid knows what they want but if parents keep making choices for them, they will grow into an adult who will be scared of making mistakes and who will be always dependent on their circumstances and transfer the responsibility for their life to other people. If you decide to give up on your own decision-making just for the sake of meeting your parents’ expectations, this means you’re pretending to be someone else — someone you actually are not. Sacrificing your dreams for family expectations is the best way to generate resentment, anger, and pain and live with these feelings for the rest of your life. Healthy relationships in the family let us be ourselves. If your situation is different, it high time you discuss this and set boundaries.
I won’t give you my time.
Oftentimes, the wish to spend every second with their kid appears because parents don’t have their own goals and interests in life. And sometimes when a child grows up, this results in the parents demanding the same amount of focus on themselves as the kid had in their childhood. However, if we’re talking about a normal situation, kids grow up and start their life, while parents stay with each other and their personal achievements for the entire growing-up period of the baby. The issue of the parents who didn’t want to settle in their life is that their grown kids, who want freedom, are now the “glue,” without which everything in the family will fall apart. The kid will decide themselves what kind of help they are ready to give and demanding more from them doesn’t make any sense. No matter how many kids and grandkids a person has, they should, first of all, be able to take care of themselves on their own.
And I can’t give you back your time.
Being offended by the kid for not “paying off their expenses” appears in cases where a parent wasn’t able to realize their potential in their desired sphere, and it seems that the appearance of a baby “caused” them to lose all their potential and prevented them from reaching certain goals. A kid cannot return the time that a parent didn’t dare to spend on themselves. Of course, within the first few years of a kid’s life, almost all the time of their parents is dedicated to them but the way parents manage their time in the future depends only on them. If for some reason, the role of being a parent didn’t bring them any pleasure, a parent might start to look for the guilty one who “stole the best years of their life.” This results in the appearance of the offense, as well as the demand for the kid to compensate for all the things their parents lost.
A few statistics
According to research by American sociologists, there is a big difference between the level of financial support that parents expect to receive and the help that children plan to provide: 92% of surveyed parents said that they don’t expect any financial support from their children in retirement, only 1% expect full support, 2% expect that their children will bear most of the costs, and 5% said that their children will provide support as needed. Despite the fact that most parents don’t expect any support, 63% of kids said that they are planning to help their retired parents financially. 61% are ready to let their parents live with them when they stop working.
Conclusion
The best thing that parents can do for their kids is to give them freedom and the opportunity to live their life. If you let your kid learn from their own mistakes; if you respect your kid’s choice and wishes; if you support, help, and don’t impose your opinion, these kids will grow into people with a natural feeling of gratitude and responsibility. If at the same time parents were spending time on themselves, they will never have a feeling of living a “wasted life.” Keep in mind that a kid copies the behavior of their parents — the very moment you need some help, look at your own reflection in the mirror and see what kind of person you used to be.
Do you think kids have filial obligations to their parents?

We at Bright Side are tempted to remove a bunch of stuff from our bathrooms after doing this research, and here are 9 items that may do more harm than good if you keep them near your tub. And don’t forget to check out the bonus feature at the end of the article.
1. Bar soap
Keeping your soap near the direct stream of your shower can shorten its shelf life. Water will break your bar soap down, and the residue will build up in your bath. The best way to store your soap is to keep it on a soap dish with holes that let it dry, outside of shower.
2. Makeup brushes
It’s important to clean your brushes regularly and to properly dry them afterward to avoid bacterial growth. But once you’re done washing your brushes, it’s better to store them in a dry place, standing brush-side up in a cup. Warm and humid air in the bathroom encourages mold and bacteria to spread on them. And just like your toothbrush, they will pick up germs that you will later apply right to your skin.
3. Perfume
Storing your fragrances in a bathroom can destroy their molecular structure and cause them to sour. To keep your favorite perfume fresh for longer, look for a closet or cupboard outside of the bathroom to store it in.
4. Towels
Keeping your used, damp towels in the bathroom can be a recipe for grossness. Warmth and humidity make bathrooms the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and towels will pick up germs that we’ll later transfer to our skin. Ideally, you should wash your towels after 3 uses and allow them to dry completely before they are used again.
5. Razors
Shower steam and the build-up of humidity can rust the blades which, in turn, can damage your skin. Even if you properly clean and dry it off after using it, storing it in a humid bathroom environment will shorten the lifespan of your razor.
6. Face creams
When your skin cream isn’t tightly closed or sealed, the damp air in the bathroom can encourage irritation or acne-causing bacteria to grow. And every time you take a hot shower, the heat can cause the ingredients to separate. The perfect place to store your skin care products is a dry drawer outside the bathroom or the fridge.
7. Jewelry
The bathroom isn’t the right place to keep your jewelry, even if you just take it off before stepping into the shower. The humid environment will make the jewelry oxidize faster, causing it to lose shine and tarnish. Unless it is pure gold, your favorite pieces that are composed of various metals will react faster in humidity.
8. Your phone
It’s not the best idea to use your phone while on the toilet, and taking your phone into the bathroom isn’t safe either. Scrolling through your feed while soaking in the tub may be dangerous, and if you need your tunes while you shower, it’s worth investing in a waterproof speaker.
9. Your bathrobe
Much like bath towels, damp robes could harbor germs and bacteria, and humidity can give them an unpleasant smell. If you are putting on a damp bathrobe right after showering, you can consider your shower pretty much pointless. Instead of keeping your bathrobe on a hook in your bathroom, hang it in a place where it can air dry.
Bonus: toothbrushes
When you flush the toilet with the lid up, germs can spread up to 15 feet, and bacteria will most likely get sprayed all over your toothbrush. Dentists recommend keeping your toothbrush as far away as possible from the toilet, in a place where it can dry completely.


brightside--2020-12-09--15 Behaviors That Animals and Humans Unknowingly Share

Prairie dogs , much like humans , have their own language to communicate .
Not only that , animals can actually feel jealousy too !
There are lots of human behaviors that some species in the animal kingdom share with us .
In this article , we will discuss some of them with you .
We at Bright Side have gathered 15 interesting behaviors that are common between humans and animals , and we would like to share them with you .
Feeling lonely is something we have in common with wolves , but they express it a little bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have different meanings , but one of those meanings that we find very interesting and that reminds us of ourselves , is how their howl could simply be a message that says , “ I miss you ” to their partners , friends , or even pack-leaders .
Well , as it turns out , in the same way that babies like to suck on their thumbs for comfort , so do baby elephants , but instead of a thumb , they use their own trunk .
It ’ s a behavior that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but sometimes , when the older elephants are nervous or unsure about something , they can also suck on their trunk .
Some adult humans probably do it too without even realizing it .
You might have a fear or 2 and you can ’ t really explain why exactly it exists , well , just like us , animals also have some fears that doesn ’ t make much sense .
They exist in them because of the underlying threat of predators .
Their predators terrorize their prey , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though they might have nothing to fear , but the actual fear itself .
This can even affect the way they feed their offspring .
5 .
Ants are farmers and they also keep pets .
Similar to what we do with our fluffers , ants keep aphids as pets .
They keep them close because they ’ re a good source of food .
They don ’ t eat them though , they eat their secretions , since they are sugary and good for ants .
They ’ re also farmers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same way we cultivate and grow crops .
Studies have shown that animals have a hormone that allows them to fall in love .
The percentage of this hormone in their blood goes up after interactions with humans or their animal friends , which proves that just like us , they have a lot of love to give .
7 .
Monkeys are able to talk with each other using a rich vocabulary .
Studies have shown that monkeys ’ chirps and shrieks are actually rich in information .
They can also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chaining different calls together .
They do this when they need to communicate with their primate friends about lots of different threats , for example a rival group approaching , or maybe even a fallen tree .
Monkeys care deeply about fairness , and they even go as far as feeling insulted when a situation isn ’ t fair .
In an experiment where monkeys were taught to give pebbles for a slice of cucumber , there was a time when the researcher offered a grape to one of the monkeys , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feeling insulted because they preferred grapes over cucumbers .
Some even threw the cucumber slice back at the researcher .
9 .
Baby bats like to be swaddled by blankets in the same way as baby humans do .
A professor from Northern Arizona University has spent the last 30 years of his life doing research on the communication of prairie dogs .
He believes that their calls are able to differentiate very specific traits about what they are describing .
For example , if a short human passes by in a yellow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than say , one for a tall human with a blue shirt .
It ’ s very interesting , and they ’ re calling it “ Prairiedogese.
” Even though parrots name their offspring , they ’ re not like any of our names .
They ’ re mostly “ peeps.
” Weeks after they ’ re born , parrots use these very specific “ peeps ” to identify themselves to others , not only that , but they also learn the peeps that correspond to their siblings and parents , and are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parrot conversation .
Similar to humans , goats change their “ accents ” according to their social group .
This happens to some of us too .
Maybe we spent a little bit too much time with our friend that has a different accent than us , and we start picking up on words and sentences they use , and introduce them into our own vocabulary .
Goats do this as well , except instead of words , they do this with their calls .

Prairie dogs, much like humans, have their own language to communicate. Not only that, animals can actually feel jealousy too! There are lots of human behaviors that some species in the animal kingdom share with us. In this article, we will discuss some of them with you. We at Bright Side have gathered 15 interesting behaviors that are common between humans and animals, and we would like to share them with you.
1. Wolves get lonely too.
Feeling lonely is something we have in common with wolves, but they express it a little bit differently —with their howl. It can have different meanings, but one of those meanings that we find very interesting and that reminds us of ourselves, is how their howl could simply be a message that says, “I miss you” to their partners, friends, or even pack-leaders.
2. Baby elephants resemble baby humans.
Well, as it turns out, in the same way that babies like to suck on their thumbs for comfort, so do baby elephants, but instead of a thumb, they use their own trunk. It’s a behavior that can be mostly observed in young elephants, but sometimes, when the older elephants are nervous or unsure about something, they can also suck on their trunk. Some adult humans probably do it too without even realizing it.
3. Whales are popular singers.
Whales sing, and in their own way, some whales are actually able to sing popular songs. Their musical production gets spread around the ocean, and although sometimes the pattern of their songs evolves, the theme of their song will stay the same.
4. Animals can develop irrational fears.
You might have a fear or 2 and you can’t really explain why exactly it exists, well, just like us, animals also have some fears that doesn’t make much sense. They exist in them because of the underlying threat of predators. Their predators terrorize their prey, and that causes them to act irrationally, even though they might have nothing to fear, but the actual fear itself. This can even affect the way they feed their offspring.
5. Ants are farmers and they also keep pets.
Similar to what we do with our fluffers, ants keep aphids as pets. They keep them close because they’re a good source of food. They don’t eat them though, they eat their secretions, since they are sugary and good for ants. They’re also farmers. They cultivate and grow fungus, basically the same way we cultivate and grow crops.
6. Animals can fall in love.
Studies have shown that animals have a hormone that allows them to fall in love. The percentage of this hormone in their blood goes up after interactions with humans or their animal friends, which proves that just like us, they have a lot of love to give.
7. Monkeys are able to talk with each other using a rich vocabulary.
Studies have shown that monkeys’ chirps and shrieks are actually rich in information. They can also alter the meaning of their communication by chaining different calls together. They do this when they need to communicate with their primate friends about lots of different threats, for example a rival group approaching, or maybe even a fallen tree.
8. Monkeys reject inequality.
Monkeys care deeply about fairness, and they even go as far as feeling insulted when a situation isn’t fair. In an experiment where monkeys were taught to give pebbles for a slice of cucumber, there was a time when the researcher offered a grape to one of the monkeys, this lead to some of the other monkeys feeling insulted because they preferred grapes over cucumbers. Some even threw the cucumber slice back at the researcher.
9. Baby bats like to be swaddled by blankets in the same way as baby humans do.
When baby bats become orphans, rescuers use tiny little blankets to mimic the warmth of their mother’s wings. Baby humans get wrapped in blankets in exactly the same way.
10. Prairie dogs use language too.
A professor from Northern Arizona University has spent the last 30 years of his life doing research on the communication of prairie dogs. He believes that their calls are able to differentiate very specific traits about what they are describing. For example, if a short human passes by in a yellow shirt, their call would be different than say, one for a tall human with a blue shirt. It’s very interesting, and they’re calling it “Prairiedogese.”
11. Parrots name their offspring.
Even though parrots name their offspring, they’re not like any of our names. They’re mostly “peeps.” Weeks after they’re born, parrots use these very specific “peeps” to identify themselves to others, not only that, but they also learn the peeps that correspond to their siblings and parents, and are even able to use them in a parrot conversation.
12. Goats develop accents.
Similar to humans, goats change their “accents” according to their social group. This happens to some of us too. Maybe we spent a little bit too much time with our friend that has a different accent than us, and we start picking up on words and sentences they use, and introduce them into our own vocabulary. Goats do this as well, except instead of words, they do this with their calls.
13. Elephants have funerals too.
Elephants grieve like humans, and they also hold funerals. When one of their own dies, it’s common for the body to be visited by many elephant families over the following days. They also sniff and poke the body, sometimes even touch it with their feet. They’re emotional creatures, just like us.
14. Animals have a trading system.
It’s not uncommon to see animals who have a trading system. One example of this is a cleaner fish. They trade their cleaning services for food. Their “client” comes with parasites stuck to them, the fish eat those parasites, the client is clean and the cleaner fish are fed. It’s a win-win. They attach themselves to their “client” when they’re cleaning them.
15. Animals get jealous.
Jealousy exists in primates and dogs, and any animal with the capability to understand this emotion. They feel jealous when they understand that, on some level, there is a benefit to their relationship — like between a dog and a human. Jealousy is not a nice feeling, but it’s human nature, and apparently, it’s dogs’ and primates’ nature too.

3 out of 10 people have allergic reactions to pets. Veterinarians say that dog hair doesn’t affect this problem as much as dander and saliva. Breeds that are prone to drooling can cause allergies to become worse.
We at Bright Side decided to check what breeds cause more and fewer allergic reactions so you can pick your dog and minimize all the risks.
1. Boston Terrier vs Bedlington Terrier
Boston terriers are a popular breed, but they have a tendency for excessive mucus, which makes them a poor choice for people with any allergies. Among terriers, the Bedlington breed is a safer option. These lamb-like dogs are covered in a curly tight coat. Because of their low-to-no shedding fur, this breed is considered more hypoallergenic.
2. King Charles Spaniel vs Irish Water Spaniel
Adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can leave lots of hair on clothes and furniture. This can be a huge problem for people who sufferer from allergies. Also, their long coats can pick up bacteria and dirt. There is one more very child-friendly and loyal spaniel known as the Irish Water Spaniel. Because of their double-layered coats, any hair and dander remain trapped inside.
3. Bulldog vs Basenji
Bulldogs don’t shed too heavily but they do shed pretty constantly. This means that allergies can become worse with each passing season. Among short-haired dogs, there can be better options for those who suffer from allergies. Basenji dogs have no odor and limited dander.
4. Pekingese vs Bichon Frise
Because of heavy shedding, the Pekingese breed needs their coat to be brushed several times a week. You can find lots of hair in the house and that can be a trigger for allergies. If you like small, fluffy dogs, the Bichon Frise breed could be a better option to avoid sneezing. It’s considered a non-shedding dog that’s good for people who live in an apartment.
5. Basset Hound vs Afghan Hound
Basset Hounds are not known as dogs who shed a lot or leave hair all over the house. But the dirt and dander can stay on their bodies, causes allergic reactions in people. The Afghan Hound does not shed a lot and it has the same pH as human hair. These facts make this breed more hypoallergenic.
6. Pomeranian vs Maltese
Pomeranians are adorable but they have a certain type of protein that they produce, which is concentrated in the saliva, urine, and dander of dogs. Because of this, they can cause allergies more often than other breeds. If you’re searching for a small pooch and have any allergies, the Maltese breed is more suitable. They don’t have an undercoat so they shed very little. These dogs are also good for small apartments.
7. Schipperke vs Affenpinscher
Schipperkes are not recommended for an apartment lifestyle. Their saliva may cause a specific reaction in people and you may end up sneezing a lot. There is one more miniature black dog who is also active but less allergy-inducing. Affenpinschers have a slow-growing coat that doesn’t shed a lot, wiry fur that retains dander, and very little drool.
8. Pumi vs Poodle
Wavy-haired small dogs are so charming but not every breed is good if you suffer from allergies. For example, the Pumi breed is not in the list of hypoallergenic dogs and not recommended for a small apartment. The coat consists of 50 percent soft hair and 50 percent harsher hair. Pumi needs combing every three to six weeks. The better choice would be a poodle. They produce less dander and smell less.
9. Siberian Husky vs Samoyed
Huskies are very friendly and have beautiful eyes but they’re not great for people with allergies. They leave hair everywhere so you’ll likely find dead skin and dander all over the place. As a solution for big dogs that sometimes look very similar to huskies, you can get the Samoyed. Experts say that although they shed a lot, this breed has less drooling that can cause allergy.
10. Skye Terrier vs Shih Tzu
Here’s another doggie duo that look similar to each other, but due to nature, have a different effect on people’s health. Skye Terriers produce more allergens than the Shih Tzu breed. It’s also important to know that when the hair is long, the shedding hairs don’t fall to the ground or on furniture, so you sneeze less.

We at Bright Side sincerely sympathize with the 15 people from our compilation. They won’t be able to trust either marketing specialists or anyone’s advice for a long time.

brightside--2020-12-10--20+ People Who Took Advice From Internet Users and Changed Their Hairstyle

The decision to radically change your style is always difficult .
Some people get inspired by the example of celebrities , and others are advised by their relatives or friends to get a haircut .
Especially daring people take the advice of strangers on the internet .
And there is a logic in this — if someone hasn ’ t yet gotten used to the appearance of the person asking for their opinion and doesn ’ t have a strong image of this person in their head , it may be easier for them to give practical advice “ from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7 years , I had long hair .

The decision to radically change your style is always difficult. Some people get inspired by the example of celebrities, and others are advised by their relatives or friends to get a haircut. Especially daring people take the advice of strangers on the internet. And there is a logic in this — if someone hasn’t yet gotten used to the appearance of the person asking for their opinion and doesn’t have a strong image of this person in their head, it may be easier for them to give practical advice “from the outside perspective.”
We at Bright Side envy the courage of the 20+ people from our compilation. After all, they were not afraid to listen to advice from the internet and radically transform themselves.
“After dying my hair red for a 10+ years, I decided it was time for a change.”

Over the past 100 years, the ideals of female beauty have changed countless times. Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, Angelina Jolie — these women have become ideals of style and beauty, each in her own time. But there were others besides them. Each decade can boast of its most beautiful woman in the world.
We at Bright Side admire female beauty, so we wanted to put the spotlight back on these women who millions of people admired and dreamed of from the 1920s to the present day.
The 1920s —Theda Bara
Theda is an American silent movie star. She became one of the most desired women in cinema. Popularity and public love came to Theda when she was almost 30 years old. She played the role of the vampire in A Fool There Was. On-screen, Bara’s character seduced men and ruined their lives. After that, the actress was considered to be a vamp woman.
The 1930s — Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich
Harlow is an American star and one of the greatest women in classic Hollywood. The term “platinum blonde” appeared thanks to her. Many fans began to actively dye their hair to at least somehow resemble Harlow. By the way, Marilyn Monroe also called Harlow the idol of her childhood. And she even hired Jean’s stylist to turn her hair from brown to blonde.
German singer and actress Marlene Dietrich became a legend in her lifetime. She inspired fashion designers and her colleagues. Her eyes, which attracted attention from under her thinly contoured eyebrows, and her divine voice, amazed everyone. Even Remarque could not resist her fatal beauty.
The 1940s — Lauren Bacall, Lana Turner
Lauren Bacall is a star from old Hollywood. Her contemporaries have noted her feline grace, the incredible beauty of her blue-green eyes, and the charm of her voice that was compared to a guttural purr.
Historians call Lana Turner one of the most glamorous movie stars of all time and a symbol of her era. She got into the world of cinema thanks to luck, her angelic face, and her amazing figure. And in the end, she created a dizzying career and got her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 1950s — Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn
Not a single conversation about the most beautiful women in the world is complete without mentioning Marilyn. In 1953, after filming Niagara, Monroe became one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. By this time, she and her makeup artist had come up with “Marilyn’s signature makeup” —dark, curved eyebrows, pale skin, and shiny red lips. In a review of Niagara, the New York Times noted that although Monroe wasn’t the perfect actress at the time, she could be seductive, even when she was just walking around.
Audrey Hepburn, who was an icon of style, was a woman of many talents. She was not only an outstanding actress but also a ballerina and model. Audrey charmed people around her with her adorable innocence. Critics called her “an elfin, wistful beauty.” And in 1954, Hepburn was declared to be the “embodiment of our new feminine ideal.”
The 1960s — Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy
Elizabeth Taylor is another style icon and a woman with beautiful eyes. Her iconic look in the movie Cleopatra made cat-eye makeup incredibly popular.
Lesley Lawson is a supermodel known all over the world under the pseudonym Twiggy. In the 1960s, she was a real style icon. She made androgyny, ultra-short haircuts, and a thin frame fashionable. But Lawson didn’t understand her wild success, “I hated my appearance, so I thought everyone was crazy.”
The 1970s — Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch
Farrah Fawcett is an American actress, star of the TV series Charlie’s Angels, and a fashion model. 6 million copies of the iconic poster in which she poses in a red swimsuit were sold in the first year it was printed. And it still holds the title of the best-selling poster in history. Her hairstyle became an international trend. American women cut their hair to get the “Farrah Do” up to the 1980s. And in 2011, Men’s Health included Farrah on their list of the “100 Hottest Women of All Time” (the actress took 31st place).
Raquel Welch is an American actress and singer. She brought dark long hair back into fashion, which was not easy after the phenomenal popularity of Twiggy. Welch became world-famous after filming in the movie One Million Years B.C. And although her character only said a couple of sentences in the whole film, Raquel’s gorgeous figure in a fur swimsuit made her a star and a dream girl.
The 1980s — Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle was one of the most popular actresses in the 1980s. Viewers and critics alike especially fell in love with her after the movie The Fabulous Baker Brothers . Pfeiffer was so good that she was even compared to Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe. The actress herself still doesn’t understand the admiration for her appearance and compares herself with Howard the Duck, a character from the comics. At the same time, Glamour magazine named Michelle the greatest style icon of the 1980s and “the most perfect face on a movie screen.”
The 1990s — Sharon Stone, Cindy Crawford
Sharon Stone became the most desirable woman after the movie Basic Instinct. She was associated with the image of a beautiful, cool, and cold as ice, beauty. Sharon’s roles didn’t go unnoticed, and in 1992, People magazine included her on their list of the “50 most beautiful people in the world.”
In 1997, the famous supermodel Cindy Crawford was ranked second on the list of the most beautiful women in the world, according to Shape magazine. Since then, she has consistently held high positions in these ratings.
The 2000s — Monica Bellucci, Angelina Jolie
In 2002, when Bellucci was 38, AskMen magazine named her the most desirable woman in the world. The beauty of the Italian woman is truly timeless. Monica is so beautiful, that at the age of 50, she played the role of a James Bond girl. Nothing like this has happened in the entire history of the franchise.
Many influential media, including Vogue, People, and Vanity Fair, called Jolie the most beautiful woman in the world. By 2007, she was considered the “gold standard of beauty.” Women came to plastic surgeons and asked them for “Jolie’s lips.”
The 2010s — Beyoncé
In 2012, People magazine named Beyoncé the most beautiful woman in the world. The American singer has such pronounced curves that a new word even appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary — “bootylicious.” It’s a combination of the words “booty” and “delicious.”
2020 — Bella Hadid
Plastic surgeon Julian De Silva mathematically proved that the face of supermodel Bella Hadid is as close as possible to the golden ratio. De Silva relied on the size and position of the eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, and jaw. Bella’s result is 94.35% symmetry. By the way, Beyoncé took second place with a score of 92.44%.

We are all owners of our own unique beauty. And even though there is always some part of our body or face that we are not comfortable with, the most important thing is to accept and love ourselves as we are. Now, with that in mind, the truth is that makeup can become a great ally. This is especially true when it comes to hiding the features we like the least and highlighting our favorite ones.
At Bright Side we love to see changes in someone’s look, so we prepared some before and after pictures of several women who were touched by the magic wand of makeup.
1. “The Diwali edition”
2. “Tried a ’look my best, but still somewhat subtle’ sort of look.”
3. “I did my friend’s makeup.”
4. “A 10 minute ’no-makeup makeup’ look! Concealer is my lifeline, please forgive my hair.”

13. “One of my proudest makeup applications! P.S: She loved it too.”
14. “When people compliment how ’flawless’ my skin is, I think I’ve perfected the natural ’no-makeup look.’”

Now, people are much more advanced in terms of technology, and you won’t surprise anyone with gadgets or fashionable things. Then, we were open to the world and were discovering more of it every day. And apparently, we liked to test our strength.
We at Bright Side decided to get nostalgic and remember ourselves in the 2000s. What then seemed to us to be unrealistically cool, now only causes an indulgent smile and a little bit of sadness for that reckless youth we’ll never get back. Everyone did these things, and we aren’t one bit ashamed of them.
1. Wore short shorts over tights.
2. Dyed separate hair strands in contrasting colors. Those who weren’t ready for drastic changes used colored mascara.

You can find pretty much anything in a lady’s purse: extra shoes, tights, a huge book, or even a pharmacy. Sometimes, it’s stunning how such a huge number of things can fit into such a small accessory. But, according to etiquette rules, purses shouldn’t be too full, which means we have to get rid of a few useless things.
The ladies of Bright Side have made a list of things that we should throw away from our purses.
Used cotton swabs
Cotton swabs are absolutely necessary because we use them every day to remove excess makeup or clumpy mascara. But very often, we forget to throw the buds away and just put them back into our purses. Some people even use them more than once.
Broken powder or rouge
We’ve all broken our favorite powder or rouge. It’s so sad when we have to throw them away and we hadn’t even planned on buying a new one. So, we just keep them in our purses. Don’t postpone this — either try to save your broken powder which not even that hard, or get a new one as soon as possible.
Empty packs of pills
It’s not surprising that you can find a lot of pills in a purse. Almost every woman has painkillers in her purse. The only problem is that ladies often forget to throw away the empty packs. Get rid of the trash in order to not make your beautiful and stylish purse look bad.
Old-fashioned hairbrush or a brush with metal bristles
An old-fashioned hairbrush won’t make you look better, and a brush with metal bristles can even damage your hair. Wooden combs, however, improve blood circulation and strengthen the hair structure.
Paper receipts
It’s not the best idea to keep a lot of paper receipts in your purse. Over time, they fade and start to look terrible. If you’ve bought something big, you can always take a picture of the receipt and store it on your smartphone. Besides, you can always find the information about the purchase with the help of someone who works at the store or at your bank.
Empty packs of gum
Crumples and torn gum packs don’t make your purse look any better. So, get rid of them as soon as possible.
Lipstick leftovers
Many people try to use their favorite lipsticks for as long as possible. In the end, the lipstick looks so bad that it’s embarrassing to use. Besides, lipsticks, like any other beauty product, have their own expiration date, so keep an eye on that.
Discount card holder
You don’t need these cardholders anymore. There are mobile apps that do the job perfectly and they don’t take up any physical space.
Outdated coupons
Most of the time, we forget about discounts as soon as we leave the store. The coupons just pile up in the bottom of our purses and we don’t remember them until it’s too late.
Tampons with broken wrappers
According to scientists, purses are the filthiest accessories in a ladies’ wardrobe. It’s not surprising — we take our purses to public places, put them on the floor, store money, our smartphones, and other things in them. This is why it’s better to keep tampons in a protective case, or they could get infected with germs.
Outdated hand creams
When did you last check the expiration date of your beauty products? Throw away all the expired beauty products with no mercy, be it lipstick or cream. The thing is, after the expiration date, the cream might provoke an allergic reaction, so don’t skimp on your health.
Metal nail file
This used to be an extremely popular nail file. It’s made of metal with sapphire particles. But unfortunately, these files do more harm than good. They damage the nails leaving cracks on them.
Old business cards
A bunch of paper with outdated contact information from stores, salons, clinics, and other places only make a mess in your purse. You can always store this information digitally. Learn to save all the phone numbers you need on your phone and get rid of these useless cards.
