While the “everything is a cake” meme took over the Internet a few weeks ago, Kristina Dolnyk, an artist and baker from Ukraine, has been holding her own as a culinary artist for a long time. She creates highly detailed cakes (or rather, works of art) that are visionary pieces, varying in style — and it’s no doubt they’re all extremely yummy.


brightside--2020-08-24--9 Positive Characters We All Love That Aren’t as Good as We Thought

There are few people in the world who weren ’ t impressed by the brave Mufasa from The Lion King or the red-haired beauty Merida from Brave .
Just like many other fictional characters , these people seem bold , honest , and flawless .
But if we dig a little deeper , we can actually see less pleasant features that tend to go unnoticed by many .
As the astronaut Buzz Lightyear showed off among his new friends , Woody instantly went mad .
Driven by jealousy and the desire to be the only leader , the cowboy mocks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gap between the table and the wall so that their owner can ’ t find the toy .
By the end of the film , Woody changes his behavior a bit but it ’ s quite difficult to consider him a purely positive character for this reason alone .
Do you remember the beginning of this movie ?
Little Elsa uses magic to create snowmen and snowdrifts for her sister and accidentally wounds her .
Any kid can make such a mistake ( because children push each other , throw objects , etc @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blame her for everything .
They isolate her from the world and demand that she learn to control her superabilities .
Loving parents would never write off one daughter to protect the other from danger .
3 .
Aladdin from the film of the same name Aladdin is a thief , even though he steals from bad people exclusively and always shares his finds with the poor .
In other words , he needs only enough money for food and he has no greed for profit .
However , after getting hold of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to break bad : he ’ s suddenly ready to do anything to earn the love of the princess , even if that means lying to her .
Aladdin pretends to be a rich man so that Jasmine agrees to marry him .
This kind of relationship is far from perfect , isn ’ t it ?
As some fans pointed out , with Aladdin using magic and tricks to win over Jasmine , the only real difference between him and Jafar is that one ’ s the main character and the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jafar has quite a few fans .
He ’ s even got his own musical telling the story from his point of view .
Mufasa is a narcissistic monarch who expels subjects and members of his own family that he dislikes from his own pride .
He ’ s not trying to improve his relations with Scar and even jokes about his brother .
Just remember the king ’ s dialogue with Zazu : — “ What am I going to do with him ?
” — “ And just think , whenever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him out and beat him.
” And Mufasa laughs even more .
This type of behavior hardly fits that of a hero , right ?
5 .
Peter Pan from the film of the same name On the way to Neverland with Wendy and his brothers , Peter would fly faster than the rest , overtake everyone , then come back and surprisingly ask who they were .
Perhaps he forgot about the fact that he had taken these kids with him too quickly or he simply didn ’ t want to remember @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starts to fall , Peter laughs and helps the kid only when Wendy persuades him to do it .
This hero also behaved like a true tyrant while on the island : • He came up with a daily schedule suitable for him and would get angry any time someone broke it .
• He ’ d forget about basic human needs and didn ’ t let the kids sleep and eat when they wanted to .
• He ’ d give them fake food from time to time .
And , of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Captain Hook who lost his hand in a fight with Peter .
Peter later fed the hand to a crocodile who later chased the captain .
6 .
The good witch , Glinda , from The Wizard of Oz In our childhood , we used to believe that the Wicked Witch of Oz was the main villain of this fairytale .
But it ’ s actually Glinda , “ the good witch , ” who is responsible for all of Dorothy ’ s problems in Oz .
When Dorothy ’ s home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Glinda who gave the girl the shoes that used to belong to the Wicked Witch of the East .
It ’ s almost the same as drawing a big target on Dorothy ’ s back .
Glinda wants to overthrow the Wicked Witch of the West but doesn ’ t do it by herself , preferring to reap the fruit of the girl ’ s labor .
Fans of the original Oz books might also point out that , in the original story , Glinda is the Good Witch of the South who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the story , and would have likely had told Dorothy how to get home in the first place if she could have .
In fact , some adaptations , like The Wiz , usually have her call out the other Good Witch for not telling Dorothy how to get home .
Merida behaves like a spoiled child for over half of the movie .
She doesn ’ t even think about what ’ s going to happen if she refuses to get married .
However , her mother says directly that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ takes any opportunity to hurt her mother , like when she spoils the tapestry , calls her a beast , shouts that she doesn ’ t want to live with her , and so on .
Of course , Merida had the right to rebel against an unwanted marriage but why give her mother that suspicious bun ?
The reversible transformation into a bear is nothing compared to the situation of a poisoned bun .
Merida is not a brave and independent girl but a rude and selfish kid who manages to grow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cartoon .
8 .
Shrek from the film of the same name Shrek is a charming lout who hates all living things .
He goes to rescue a princess , not because it ’ s what his heart wants or because of noble motives , but because he needs to resolve a land issue — he wants to become the sole owner of his swamp .
We ’ d also like to remind you that ogres eat humans and the movie is vague about whether or not Shrek is an exception to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s favorite drink is garnished with an eyeball , not a cherry .
9 .
Belle from Beauty and the Beast Belle is a beautiful , well-read heroine who suffers from snobbery .
Do you remember the scenes where she ’ s rude to the baker and the rest of the townspeople , considering herself better than them ?
Belle calls her town boring and dreams about escaping the province-like life .
However , once she gets into trouble ( which is actually the adventure she always dreamt about going on ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life .
Given that she spends most of her time reading storybooks , we never see her do anything to support herself and her father , and also seems to look down on the villagers who have to work for a living .
Another point of concern is that the movie indulges the “ not like the other girls ” trope when it comes to Belle .
She is regularly contrasted with the other village girls as being more mature and intelligent , suggesting that women have to be in constant competition with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tale made a similar contrast between Belle and her sisters , it was made clear her sisters were the ones actively antagonizing her , like the wicked sisters in Cinderella , and the point was that it ’ s wrong for girls to indulge such petty rivalries .

There are few people in the world who weren’t impressed by the brave Mufasa from The Lion King or the red-haired beauty Merida from Brave. Just like many other fictional characters, these people seem bold, honest, and flawless. But if we dig a little deeper, we can actually see less pleasant features that tend to go unnoticed by many.
Bright Side editorial tried to figure out which of our beloved characters weren’t actually as sweet as they seemed on screen. Perhaps your favorite character is on the list too.
1. Woody from Toy Story
As the astronaut Buzz Lightyear showed off among his new friends, Woody instantly went mad. Driven by jealousy and the desire to be the only leader, the cowboy mocks Buzz and eventually pushes him to the gap between the table and the wall so that their owner can’t find the toy. By the end of the film, Woody changes his behavior a bit but it’s quite difficult to consider him a purely positive character for this reason alone.
2. Elsa and Anna’s parents from Frozen
Do you remember the beginning of this movie? Little Elsa uses magic to create snowmen and snowdrifts for her sister and accidentally wounds her. Any kid can make such a mistake (because children push each other, throw objects, etc.) but Elsa’s parents blame her for everything. They isolate her from the world and demand that she learn to control her superabilities. Loving parents would never write off one daughter to protect the other from danger.
3. Aladdin from the film of the same name
Aladdin is a thief, even though he steals from bad people exclusively and always shares his finds with the poor. In other words, he needs only enough money for food and he has no greed for profit. However, after getting hold of the magic lamp, the character decides to break bad: he’s suddenly ready to do anything to earn the love of the princess, even if that means lying to her. Aladdin pretends to be a rich man so that Jasmine agrees to marry him. This kind of relationship is far from perfect, isn’t it? As some fans pointed out, with Aladdin using magic and tricks to win over Jasmine, the only real difference between him and Jafar is that one’s the main character and the other isn’t. In fact, Jafar has quite a few fans. He’s even got his own musical telling the story from his point of view.
4. Mufasa from The Lion King
Mufasa is a narcissistic monarch who expels subjects and members of his own family that he dislikes from his own pride. He’s not trying to improve his relations with Scar and even jokes about his brother. Just remember the king’s dialogue with Zazu: — “What am I going to do with him?” — “He’d make a very handsome throw rug!” Hearing this, Mufasa giggles kindly. — “And just think, whenever he gets dirty, you can take him out and beat him.” And Mufasa laughs even more. This type of behavior hardly fits that of a hero, right?
5. Peter Pan from the film of the same name
On the way to Neverland with Wendy and his brothers, Peter would fly faster than the rest, overtake everyone, then come back and surprisingly ask who they were. Perhaps he forgot about the fact that he had taken these kids with him too quickly or he simply didn’t want to remember them. When one of the boys starts to fall, Peter laughs and helps the kid only when Wendy persuades him to do it. This hero also behaved like a true tyrant while on the island: He came up with a daily schedule suitable for him and would get angry any time someone broke it.
He’d forget about basic human needs and didn’t let the kids sleep and eat when they wanted to.
He’d give them fake food from time to time. And, of course, we can’t forget about Captain Hook who lost his hand in a fight with Peter. Peter later fed the hand to a crocodile who later chased the captain.
6. The good witch, Glinda, from The Wizard of Oz
In our childhood, we used to believe that the Wicked Witch of Oz was the main villain of this fairytale. But it’s actually Glinda, “the good witch,” who is responsible for all of Dorothy’s problems in Oz. When Dorothy’s home crushed the Wicked Witch, it was Glinda who gave the girl the shoes that used to belong to the Wicked Witch of the East. It’s almost the same as drawing a big target on Dorothy’s back. Glinda wants to overthrow the Wicked Witch of the West but doesn’t do it by herself, preferring to reap the fruit of the girl’s labor. Fans of the original Oz books might also point out that, in the original story, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South who doesn’t appear towards the end of the story, and would have likely had told Dorothy how to get home in the first place if she could have. In fact, some adaptations, like The Wiz, usually have her call out the other Good Witch for not telling Dorothy how to get home.
7. Merida of DunBroch from Brave
Merida behaves like a spoiled child for over half of the movie. She doesn’t even think about what’s going to happen if she refuses to get married. However, her mother says directly that it will start a war. The girl takes any opportunity to hurt her mother, like when she spoils the tapestry, calls her a beast, shouts that she doesn’t want to live with her, and so on. Of course, Merida had the right to rebel against an unwanted marriage but why give her mother that suspicious bun? The reversible transformation into a bear is nothing compared to the situation of a poisoned bun. Merida is not a brave and independent girl but a rude and selfish kid who manages to grow a bit mature by the end of the cartoon.
8. Shrek from the film of the same name
Shrek is a charming lout who hates all living things. He goes to rescue a princess, not because it’s what his heart wants or because of noble motives, but because he needs to resolve a land issue — he wants to become the sole owner of his swamp. We’d also like to remind you that ogres eat humans and the movie is vague about whether or not Shrek is an exception to the rule. After all, Shrek’s favorite drink is garnished with an eyeball, not a cherry.
9. Belle from Beauty and the Beast
Belle is a beautiful, well-read heroine who suffers from snobbery. Do you remember the scenes where she’s rude to the baker and the rest of the townspeople, considering herself better than them? Belle calls her town boring and dreams about escaping the province-like life. However, once she gets into trouble (which is actually the adventure she always dreamt about going on), Belle starts to complain about her life. Given that she spends most of her time reading storybooks, we never see her do anything to support herself and her father, and also seems to look down on the villagers who have to work for a living. Another point of concern is that the movie indulges the “not like the other girls” trope when it comes to Belle. She is regularly contrasted with the other village girls as being more mature and intelligent, suggesting that women have to be in constant competition with each other. While the original fairy tale made a similar contrast between Belle and her sisters, it was made clear her sisters were the ones actively antagonizing her, like the wicked sisters in Cinderella, and the point was that it’s wrong for girls to indulge such petty rivalries.

Fashion is really cyclical. After they’ve been forgotten for several decades, some trends start to make their way back into the spotlight. Now, the trends of the ’90s and the beginning of the 2000s are returning. We were happy about sneakers, oversized clothing, and leather pants, but some trends really confused us.
We at Bright Side love being trendy, but these 13 fashion trends are not really what we were looking for.
1. “Beef” lips
The name of this trend is not attractive at all and the makeup is pretty controversial too. Do you remember the women from the ’90s that outlined their lips with a dark-brown pencil and painted the inside pink? This is what “beef” lips are. They were named this way because they look like a medium-rare steak. And yes, they are trendy again.
2. Mullet haircut
This is probably the most popular haircut of the past 50 years, and both men and women have had it. The first wave of popularity was in the ’70s when mullet was seen on stars like Paul McCartney and David Bowie. In the ’80s and the ’90s, the cut was still popular. And now, after a short break, it’s popular among celebrities and regular people again.
3. Square-toed shoes
Square-toed shoes made their way back to the wardrobes of women at the end of 2019. And they are still very popular.
4. Buttoned-up cardigans with nothing underneath
All girls from the ’90s wore short buttoned-up cardigans. And we wore them on top of T-shirts and dresses. Those who were bolder wore them without T-shirts, with the top or bottom buttons open. It seems that now it’s time to buy these cardigans again, because almost all of the modern trendsetters are wearing them.
5. Double bun hairstyles
This hairstyle for children was popular among adult girls in the ’90s and the 2000s. And now, almost 20 years later, this trend is returning. For example, Jennifer Lopez recently posted a photo where she combined 2 trends — double buns and baby hairs.
6. Visible bras
Transparent blouses and other clothes that reveal the bra are popular again. Also, it’s important for the bra to be bright and attractive: it’s part of the look now.
7. Straight locks that frame the face
When we were in school, many girls had ponytails with straight locks that framed their faces. The luckiest girls, that could convince their parents, even lightened these face-framing locks. And now that we’ve basically forgotten about this trend, it’s back.
8. Hawaiian shirts
Clothes with bright patterns were very popular in the ’50s-’60s and Elvis Presley was a huge influence. Later, in the ’90s, everyone probably had a shirt like this. If you still have one of these, you can wear it today.
9. Sandals with long laces
We’re pretty sure that you probably had sandals that took half an hour to put on. Now, they are trendy again. Would you take the risk and buy them today?
10. Massive chains on the neck
Chains have been worn for several centuries, but if we are talking about modern history, massive chains became popular in the ’60s and ’70s. This was the time of a huge fashion revolution and when punk culture appeared. The iconic figure of this movement, Sid Vicious, wore a massive chain around his neck. You can see accessories like this today on modern celebrities.
11. Crimped hair
Crimped hair was the dream of all girls at the end of the ’90s and the start of the 2000s. And now this hair is back in trend. Today, they style it a bit differently by adding more volume.
12. Low-rise pants
While we are happy about high-rise pants, more and more celebrities are now appearing in low-rise pants. We hope that it won’t be as extremely low as it was at the beginning of the century.
13. Metallic eyelids
The incredibly bright makeup from the beginning of the 2000s is making a comeback. Matte makeup is not popular anymore — metallic is, but it’s not just about the lids, it’s also about the lips. They do look better than they did in the past, though.

My husband and I acquired a small Chinese porcelain jar. It sat on top of a cabinet for many years, and just became part of the background in the family room. One day I was dusting and knocked it over. Smashed it up pretty good — and it was stuffed with cash! We had never looked inside. Mostly singles, some fives, tens, and twenties. I figure that a housewife was probably hiding a little spending money from her husband and then one day he or some other family member says, “Eh, we’re never using that thing, let’s sell it for a few bucks.” She pretends nothing happens because then he’d know she was hiding money from him. © Ken Berkun / Quora

We’re used to thinking that cold showers can give us a boost of energy and help wake us up in the morning. But showering in chilly water has a number of beauty benefits as well. Taking short showers with cold or mildly cold water is an easy go-to beauty trick that can have an incredible impact on your skin.
We at Bright Side have done some research to find out how your skin can benefit from daily cold showers. And it turned out icy rinses can transform your skin in many surprising ways.
1. It gives your skin a healthy glow.
Cold showers help to increase blood circulation. For your face, this might mean a fresh radiant look. The good news is that you don’t need to be in the cold for too long to make your skin brighter. Showering in mildly cold or even lukewarm water is enough to nourish it.
2. It prevents skin aging.
The habit of taking daily cold showers helps your skin stay younger for longer. Cold water activates your nervous system, and your body releases hormones and brain chemicals that fight stress. Studies suggest that psychological stress has a direct impact on skin aging and negatively affects many systems in the body.
3. It prevents stress-related skin conditions.
A cold shower sends an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses to the brain and stimulates the release of “happy hormones” or endorphins. When these chemicals are released by the body, your stress levels decline and you’ll be less prone to experiencing a number of skin problems like acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
4. It tightens the pores.
While hot water may strip away some of the protective oils that your skin makes, chilly water will temporarily minimize your pores. It also helps give your face vitality and enhances the brightness of your skin. Because cold water can cause blood vessels to compress, the face may seem less puffy or red.
5. It relieves discomfort from some skin conditions.
While hot showers can inflame the skin, causing redness, itching, and even peeling, cold water does exactly the opposite. For those suffering from itchy skin, cold water showers may help you overcome the sensation to scratch. Cooling the skin by taking cold showers also helps to reduce the intense itchiness caused by psoriasis, according to a study.

Becoming a mother for the first time , along with the unconditional love you have for your baby , stirs up so many emotions .

Becoming a mother for the first time, along with the unconditional love you have for your baby, stirs up so many emotions. It would be pretty difficult to handle all of them without the help of hormones, which transform our brains in a certain way to help us take care of things like breastfeeding. However, it’s not an easy job at all, and there are things that can leave you really overwhelmed.
We at Bright Side cheer for all the new moms out there and have made an article about some unexpected effects that you might encounter on your way into motherhood.
1. Breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally.
While it seems to be one of the most natural things, many women do not meet their own expectations when it comes to breastfeeding. In reality, you can have some hard times establishing the whole process. And lack of milk is not the only problem you may run into — there are also conditions like mastitis that can bother you.
2. Caring about the way you look becomes a thing of the past.
Before having children, it’s almost impossible to imagine that having someone’s puke on your clothes would not bother you that much. When you can’t even enjoy your morning coffee without being immediately disturbed, and let’s not even mention trying to plan more important tasks that need to be accomplished, the last thing that you will want to spend some of your priceless time on will be primping. But don’t worry — this will go back to normal as soon as your child settles. Maybe...
3. You will constantly struggle to say “no,” when others say “yes.”
Be prepared that you, like it or not, will be the strictest person in your child’s life. Everyone, based on their immediate emotions for this cute pie, will spoil them by letting them do whatever they want. Or, they will always remind you of the example of their friend’s mothers, who let their children do more than you do. But it is totally your responsibility to control this, because, as specialists say: “You do your kids a terrible disservice if they go out into the world thinking it revolves around them.”
4. Others will give you an opinion about literally everything.
Soon you will realize that nothing will get you into a rage faster than this. Everyone: moms, cousins, in-laws, friends, and of course just strangers will never miss the chance to give you some advice. Everything can become an occasion: the way you dress your child, what you feed them, how you wipe their poop... Everything! No one actually likes unsolicited advice, but being a mom makes it even worse, because no one understands your child’s needs better than you do. And, hey, you grew them in your belly (alone) for 9 months!
5. You will put too much pressure on yourself.
Mom guilt is something that is very real and you understand this as soon as your little one arrives. You want to be perfect at every little thing, and if something doesn’t go as smooth as you’d planned, it can really make you feel depressed. However, there will good and bad days, so it would be better to not overwhelm yourself, but instead to enjoy every single moment.
6. Your marriage will change.
Sometimes you will hate your husband for sleeping so tenderly, while you have to wake up at 4 AM to feed your child. However, moms also say that when you see your partner being the most caring daddy for your baby, it gets you right in the feels. It’s a totally new level of relationship when you have to raise a little person together, and it may make your marriage much stronger. Your heart will melt every time you see him cuddling the kids, even if he goes and gets them all excited when it’s time for them to go to sleep.
7. Diapers might sometimes betray you.
It seems so simple nowadays — you just need to put a diaper on the baby and not worry about washing cloth diapers like our grandmas used to do. However, you might be surprised to know that you could have a hard time finding out which diaper brand will suit your baby the best. But even before that, be prepared to experience some disappointment when you dress them up in the most beautiful clothes and see that they get stained with poop or pee. And, of course, for a boy mom: always make sure to cover and organize everything properly in order to avoid a little fountain.
8. Your baby will never cease to surprise you.
Kids can be really unpredictable at any age. Your first surprise will probably be that such a tiny and cute creature can release gas like an old man. Their behavior will never be predictable: one day they won’t eat and sleep, and will cry like they are re-watching The Titanic over and over again, and the next day they will be the calmest angels ever. Growing up, they become even more creative: you can leave them in one (very safe!) position and come back to find that they’ve rolled over to the edge of the bed. And their imagination to do things you would never think of is something that is really endless.
