The year 2008 presented us with Twilight — a low-budget movie that suddenly paid off more than 10 times over and introduced a true heartthrob to millions of teenage fans. However, it became a somewhat tricky test for actor Robert Pattinson, the man behind the role of Edward Cullen. He had to work hard to get rid of his romantic image and break the skeptical opinions that he was just a vampire glowing in the sun.
We at Bright Side decided to dive into the actor’s filmography that mass-audiences have seemed to forget about over the last decade. We found a lot of curious things in it, which makes us want to exclaim, “Robert, you’re actually really cool!”
2004: the start of his acting career with minor roles in fantasy movies
It was at the age of 18 when Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson appeared on-screen for the first time. He landed a minor role in a television fantasy movie featuring treasure and dragons. At that moment, he was deeply into music and didn’t even think about fame on a large scale. All the pubs in London knew Pattinson as a guitarist who would perform his own songs and was either playing solo under the Bobby Dupea stage name or with the Bad Girls band. However, despite his frequent appearances in public, Pattinson was actually quite shy. In order to help his son loosen up, Pattinson’s father suggested he attend a local amateur theater class. This decision turned out to change Pattinson’s fate forever.
“I record stuff a lot, but there’s something about doing movies. I can handle the criticism (from movies) because you can always blame it on someone else. But with music, as soon as you put something out there, people judge (you), and I don’t necessarily want people to judge me.” Robert Pattinson
Soon after in 2005, producers noticed Pattinson and he appeared on the big screen with dragons once again. However, this time, it was as the role of Cedric Diggory in the fourth installment of the cult Harry Potter films. After his first official appearance in a franchise, positive reviews from critics, the title of “British Star of Tomorrow” given to Pattinson by The Times, and comparisons to a young Jude Law all followed.
2008: the role of a glamorous vampire and world fame
After 2 years of acting in British low-budget films, Pattinson was cast in the role of a shining (in every sense) vampire from a teenage novel. However, almost no one, including the actor himself, believed in the success of the book’s film adaptation. After all, Pattinson agreed to a role in the movie about the difficulties of growing up from an independent director (in the atmosphere of a fantasy love story) but got something different instead. It’s worth noting that in the movie, Pattinson plays the piano himself, and in one of the film’s soundtracks, we can hear a song that the actor wrote, sang, and also played himself. After the first film’s release, Twilight instantly earned millions of fans (and just as many haters), turning Pattinson into a real superstar. He finally started to get offers to play roles in movies, however, they were only for romantic and sensual characters, while the actor himself didn’t want to be forever linked to these images.
“Edward’s been stuck in adolescence. He’s been living that for a hundred years. So, I was trying to push for that angle of change.” Robert Pattinson
Of course, this huge onset of new fans put Pattinson in many interesting situations. Once, the actor encountered a fan who had been following him everywhere for several weeks. She kept waiting for the actor outside of his apartment, literally all day long, for 3 weeks. Pattinson shared, “There was one day when I was just so chronically bored I said to her, ’Do you want to just go to dinner or something?? No one else wants to hang out with me.’ Her parents had a restaurant, she took me there. I complained about everything in my life for about 2 hours, then she gave me the bill to pay and was never back outside my apartment ever again.”
2012-2019: the attempt to break out of the sweet boy role and take on other projects
His first attempt to break this image was in the leading role of the on-screen version of Guy de Maupassant’s novel, Bel Ami, where Pattinson still played a handsome guy but was far from being seen in a positive light. Also, the year 2012 introduced viewers to the movie, Cosmopolis, where the actor expertly played the role of a young millionaire mired in his absurd rationality. However, after having played a series of pampered and physically attractive characters on-screen, the actor confessed that he was tired of cliché cinematic archetypes. Now it was more important for Pattinson to be an interesting and charismatic character without becoming attached to his handsome appearance. This can be seen in The Lost City of Z, where he grows a beard and paves a dangerous path through the wild jungle; in The Rover, where he tries to survive in the middle of the desert, desperately and aggressively; and in The Childhood of a Leader, where he played 2 roles: a dictator with a shaven head and a reporter who turns out to be the character’s father.
Thanks to his efforts, Pattinson has earned the reputation of a fantastic actor in adult auteur cinema. His characters started to get darker and more dramatic. Like in his impressive role as a lighthouse watcher who was drowning in his madness in The Lighthouse, it’s hard to see the melancholic teenage idol from Twilight in him. Additionally, in his small role as the French prince in The King, Pattinson literally bewitched everyone with his perfectly-portrayed inner breakdown.
“Robert may have topped himself in The Lighthouse. There are moments where Pattinson is so transformative it’s jarring. You simply never thought he had it in him.” Gregory Ellwood
However, after having acted in numerous independent movies, the actor still remains a young man in the eyes of mass audiences, whose talent is regarded with a big pinch of irony.
2020: returning to the big screen and becoming the topic of gossip
In 2020, audiences saw the premiere of the movie, Tenet, that instantly excited the public and became the subject of heated discussion on the Internet. The flick got so much attention, not only because of the twisted plot and viewers’ attempts to figure out what’s happening on-screen but also because of Pattinson’s acting which was beyond perfect — he even managed to outshine the main characters! Moreover, the recently released psychological thriller, The Devil All the Time, finally convinced even the toughest critics that Pattinson’s acting talent is far from trivial. Also, in this same year, the actor was named the most handsome man in the world and he also started to work on one of the most sought-after roles in Hollywood: Batman. Though fans of the character are not quite pleased with this choice, Pattinson himself took on this reaction with a sense of humor.
“To be honest, it was less vitriolic than I was expecting. It’s much more fun when you’re an underdog. There’s no expectation of you.” Robert Pattinson
After the release of the first trailer of the franchise’s new film, it’s become clear that Pattinson is going to get an even bigger army of fans soon. And hopefully, he won’t be treated with the same level of skepticism as he was 10 years ago. Our editorial team is eagerly waiting for the premiere that is planned to take place in March 2022.

I decided to share everything with Bright Side so that I can reach more people, in hopes that reading my life story and sharing how my dreams came true will be a source of motivation.

After the surgery, I found that I could not move my hands or my lower body. Then after a few days, when my family took me home, everything changed. 4 people had to carry me to enter my own house. It was a really unpleasant experience. But, life goes on. My family supported me, especially my mom and sister. I started physiotherapy and continued it for 3 years, and I thought that I might be able to walk again.

I started to win one competition after another.
So I started competing with normal bodybuilders and people with different disabilities. After a few years, I won Mr. Punjab (13 times), Mr. North India (9 times), Mr. India (4 times), and many other titles. After 2 years, I realized I had no more money for competitions, traveling, and all of the other expenses. That’s why I started doing stage shows, I was on India’s Got Talent, South India’s Got Talent, and other TV shows.
One day, in 2015, I did one show where an owner of a company was present and he announced in front of 25,000 people “Anand Arnold is the new brand ambassador for our company.” After a week he called me into his office and said, “What can we do for you, what do you need?” I told him that I was selected 3 times for the Mr. World Competition, but I couldn’t go due to lack of funds. As an athlete, I need a good diet and money for travel expenses for the competitions. They agreed: “We will provide you with everything, but just for the Mr. 2016 title.” I started my preparations and finally proved myself in Europe, and I won the title of Mr. World.
I went beyond competitions.
After that, calls just started piling up. I was getting one call after another with a lot of different offers. I even got a role in the movie Supreme and I did great. After all of those events, I become even more famous and well-known as a fitness icon.
In 2018, I was selected for Pro-Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas. I was the only one who represented India there and won the title of Best Poser for 2018 Mr. Olympia, and plus 2nd place. So from there, I started to work in the USA as a motivational speaker and I motivated a lot of people.
I traveled all around the USA and again, in Columbus, Ohio, I represented my country in the Arnold Classic Bodybuilding Championship and I won Best Poser for 2019.
I also represented India in Canada and won competitions there.
This is my journey and I really feel proud to represent India. Plus, not long ago, I was contacted by a Bollywood director who told me that they would like to produce a commercial BIOPIC Film based on my life story. They want to spread my story all around the world.

The beauty industry continues to offer us something new every now and then. While almost everyone has already heard about Botox, terms like SMAS-lifting, micro-needling, and lipocavitation are still unfamiliar to many of us. So we got curious and decided to find out what girls have to contend with when it comes to a cosmetologist’s procedures and whether they were happy with the results.
Bright Side is reminding you that all procedures should be done strictly at the recommendation and under the supervision of a specialist. At the end of the article, you’ll see a bonus that will show what, according to one lady’s opinion, Russian beauty salons look like.
1. “The photo in the left was taken accidentally, but thanks to it I realized that it was high time I visited a cosmetologist — my face had become so shapeless and swollen, while my cheekbones disappeared completely.”
“The cosmetologist recommended that I do a course of massage with kinesio taping, as well as lipolytics. She also told me I could slightly lift the corners of my lips with the help of hyaluronic acid. I was ready for anything. Thanks to the massage my face became less swollen and thanks to the lypolytics, I got my cheekbones back. All in all, the result was good and now I need to periodically repeat it so that it doesn’t disappear.”
2.
3. “I couldn’t get rid of my belly fat for quite a while and finally decided to remove it with the help of cavitation (so-called non-surgical liposuction).”
“The cosmetologist took my measurements before and after the procedure — I lost about 1 inch of my volume right after the first procedure. Altogether, I had 6 sessions and the result is stunning. I could barely button up these jeans on my belly before.”
4. “I had been wanting to enlarge my lips for a long time and finally I dared to do it. At first, they seemed too big to me but once the swelling was gone I finally saw how beautiful they became.”
“I have zero regrets about what I’ve done, I continuously enjoy their look and often hear compliments about my lips. The main thing to keep in mind is to not make them too big and duck-like.”
5.
6. “Once I noticed a purse-string wrinkle on my upper lip and decided to refresh the contour.”
“Knowing about my wish, my friend got me a surprise for my birthday and signed me up for an appointment with a cosmetologist. When I got to the appointment, a girl with pink hair holding a mini syringe in her hands was waiting for me. She made me cry because the anesthetic didn’t help and the whole procedure was extremely painful. During the first day, I looked as if someone had hit me in my mouth, and after that, everything started to look beautiful. All in all, I like it — it has already been 2 years but the effect is still there.”
7.
8. “Correction of nasolabial folds has become the coolest gift I’ve given to myself.”
“The difference between these 2 photos is one day. The cosmetologist told me that the results would be noticeable after 2 weeks, but I saw them right away. It seems that nothing has changed in me, but I feel that I started to look less tired. However, no one in my family noticed anything.”
9. “I never liked my brows, they were invisible and I had to draw them on every day. Eventually, I got brows tattooed on and now I am happy.”
10.
11. “Before and after 8 micro-needling procedures”
12.
13. “I decided to get my lips and brows tattooed because I am a lazy bones. I got tired of making myself up every morning. Moreover, in the morning, being half-asleep, I would always draw my brows differently. Now all I need to do is to wash my face and I am ready to go.”
“It took me so long to choose the tattoo artist and I was lucky to get a good one. That’s why I am satisfied with the results, but I know many sad examples of when girls have gotten terrible brow tattoos. The conclusion is: we need to have a responsible approach to everything.”
14.
Bonus: “My German mother-in-law presented me with a visit to a beauty salon before my wedding. She made sure to find me a Russian-speaking cosmetologist.”
“I’ve only seen an interior like this in theaters: crystal chandeliers, ceiling moldings, columns, antique leather furniture. As it turned out later, my mother-in-law was sure that we only have this kind of beauty salon in Russia and did her best to find the appropriate present for her future daughter-in-law.”

The Piraha people, who live in the depths of the Brazilian jungles, don’t know what the past and the future is, they consider a long sleep dangerous and have no idea what stress is all about. All these nuances make it quite difficult for a modern person to understand them. A missionary who came to the Piraha to teach them about life came to the conclusion that these people are the happiest people on Earth.

The tales of being sad while single might be misplaced. Today, modern people have started to question the norms and have learned to truly enjoy their single life — but why? There are different reasons why people today would like to stay alone for a longer period of time or maybe even forever. That’s because it’s simply not considered “wrong” anymore.
We at Bright Side decided to look into the reasons why people are deciding to live alone and we didn’t expect to find so many interesting results.
1. Time spent with other people is more enjoyable.
People started to focus more on personal time, their social lives, and careers. They don’t want their life to be controlled by their relationship status or to neglect their self-worth. This gives them the chance to stay more open to new adventures and they actually see themselves as more fun because they’re single. They savor every minute in their life, which is more than people of previous generations can say. They recognize life’s value.
2. Women like the feeling of independence.
Women love the feeling of being empowered and free. They focus on their careers and respect their personal lives without the need to make any sacrifices due to love. Getting into a relationship makes them afraid to lose all of that, especially their independence. Because of this, they end up marrying later in life, once they’ve completed their higher education and established stable careers. This is the main reason why the divorce rate has dropped significantly.
3. As we get older, single life starts to seem like a better option.
There was a study done on people between the ages of 40 and 85 that showed their single lives were a lot better. In fact, as they got older, they grew even more satisfied. When this was compared to those who had romantic partners, it wasn’t so straightforward. Even though many people don’t believe a woman who has been single most of her life that says, “I’m fine,” she actually is. Their mental and physical health is equally as good as their married counterparts.
4. More and more people don’t want to commit.
People who are looking for a strong relationship and want to commit end up single because they can’t find someone who also cares and values commitment. Today, this is rare and it builds a fear that keeps people away from each other. When you keep reminding your partner about the value of commitment but they don’t change their view, it seems like you’ve wasted time for nothing. That’s why some people think that getting a partner on the same level isn’t worth it, and in some cases, impossible.
5. They have a hard time trusting others.
Even though there are great love stories, the ones that have a bad ending usually stick with us. This fact can play with our ability to trust and can make it difficult to believe what someone else says. The time that we need to get to know someone’s personality and see if they can be trusted seems like too much.
6. They stay single because of low self-esteem.
When we enjoy daydreaming, sleeping whenever we want, and spending time alone, we start to think that we’re not good enough to have a partner. Mostly because that type of lifestyle is not easy to share with others, but for us, it’s just perfect. Low self-esteem seems to keep many people away from relationships and they’re happier staying single, not worrying about what the other person thinks of them.
7. They want to work on themselves.
Yes, in a relationship you can work on yourself, but there are more opportunities to do so when you’re single. When you work on self-development, it’s easier to build better character and work on your weaknesses and become stronger. When you don’t have someone else to think about, there’s a lot more time for business ideas, relaxing, and working out. The freedom of choosing what you want to do with your spare time is the reason many decide to stay solo.

And while this is true , they ’ re actually a better choice for your stomach when they ’ re cooked .

We’ve gotten used to thinking that tomatoes are more useful when we eat them raw and make a salad with them. And while this is true, they’re actually a better choice for your stomach when they’re cooked. And there are many more ordinary foods that can surprise you with their changing benefits depending on the way they’re prepared.
We at Bright Side grew curious about what products can become more useful with time or even after being fried — and we’d like to share what we learned with you.
1. Bananas
If you suffer from diabetes, it’s better to eat bananas that are more underripe than overripe, experts say. When a banana ripens, the starch begins to turn to sugar that you need to control during diabetes. On the other hand, underripe bananas have some other slight health benefits. It happens because of a starch called resistant starch that they contain. It’s difficult for us to digest because it’s like eating a raw potato. In this case, overripe bananas are better for eating.
2. Mushrooms
Although mushrooms may lose vitamin B after they get cooked, there are some great benefits that they gain after hitting heat. First of all, raw mushrooms are like sponges and can absorb toxins that can be destroyed through cooking. Secondly, cooking increases the number of antioxidants in mushrooms that our body needs so much in the modern world. If you like to eat this veggie, it’s recommended to grill or microwave it instead of boil or fry it. In this case, they boast more valuable health benefits.
3. Tomatoes
We’ve gotten used to eating raw tomatoes. Yes, they contain vitamin C, but experts say that when they’re cooked, they have much higher levels of lycopene. And this can be a more potent antioxidant than vitamin C. Also, cooking tomatoes can soften fiber so they become easier to digest.
4. Carrots
It’s a little surprising, but carrots, which are so good for us thanks to their beta carotene, have higher levels of the nutrient when cooked. This vegetable likes to be heated. Boiling can create even more available beta-carotene in carrots. It’s better to cook carrots with the skins still on so it can triple their overall antioxidant power. At the same time, chopping them up before cooking might not be the best idea because it eases the surface area for leaching nutrients into the water. It’s better to chop them after boiling.
5. Spinach
Spinach is packed with nutrients, but you may absorb more calcium and iron if you cook it, doctors say. It happens because it’s loaded with oxalic acid, which blocks the absorption of iron and calcium. When you cook spinach, this element breaks down and you can get more health benefits from it.
6. Cheese
Cheese is an excellent source of protein but each type can have different additional benefits. For example, mozzarella is lower in sodium and calories than most other cheeses. It also contains bacteria that act as probiotics so it may improve gut health and your immune system. At the same time, blue cheese has more calcium than most other cheeses but can be too salty for some people.
7. Bread
It was found that toasted bread has a lower glycemic index. This index has an effect on your blood sugar level, so it can be a better option for diabetics. Sourdough bread contains higher levels of antioxidants and folate than other types of bread. Also, it has lower phytate levels so it allows your body to absorb the nutrients more easily.
8. Beetroot
A study examined the effects of drinking 250 milliliters of beetroot juice every day on 68 people with high blood pressure. As a result, researchers found that it significantly lowered blood pressure. On the other hand, boiled beetroot can be easier to digest because its hard fibers break down the same way they do in boiled potatoes.


brightside--2020-11-06--Why We Have the Urge to Bite, Squish, or Pinch the Ones We Find Cute

Admit it , we ’ ve all wanted to pinch our friend ’ s adorable newborn baby ’ s chubby cheeks , and it happens every time , almost as if we ’ re compelled to do this .
We also find ourselves wanting to squish the cheeks of an adorable little pup , not just humans .

What it means to experience “ cute aggression ” Cuteness is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so intense that it makes us get aggressive but in a nice , harmless way .
A lot of us have experienced thoughts like , “ I want to crush it , ” or “ I want to squeeze its chubby cheeks , ” and more .

Her study about the “ cute aggression ” phenomenon , published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience , discovered that almost half of adults experience this .
But she also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t actually hurt anyone .

Kathrine Stavropoulos , who is also a cute aggressor , conducted a little research alongside a colleague , in which they recorded the electrical activity in the brains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at images of animals and people .

Admit it, we’ve all wanted to pinch our friend’s adorable newborn baby’s chubby cheeks, and it happens every time, almost as if we’re compelled to do this. We also find ourselves wanting to squish the cheeks of an adorable little pup, not just humans. Don’t worry though, this is called “cute aggression” and it’s totally normal to want to do it, according to this study.
At Bright Side, we’re big fans of pinchable, squishable cheeks and we’re here to help you understand why exactly we feel this urge.
What it means to experience “cute aggression”
Cuteness is all around us and sometimes it’s so intense that it makes us get aggressive but in a nice, harmless way. A lot of us have experienced thoughts like, “I want to crush it,” or “I want to squeeze its chubby cheeks,” and more. But don’t worry, this is totally normal, according to psychologist Katherine Stavropoulos.
Her study about the “cute aggression” phenomenon, published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, discovered that almost half of adults experience this. But she also pointed out that those people wouldn’t actually hurt anyone. “When people feel this way, it’s with no desire to cause harm,” she says. She continues by explaining that she understands how people might find it strange or baffling, but it’s normal and we shouldn’t worry about it.
Humans find babies with certain features more adorable.
Kathrine Stavropoulos, who is also a cute aggressor, conducted a little research alongside a colleague, in which they recorded the electrical activity in the brains of 54 young adults as they looked at images of animals and people. While some images were manipulated to look less appealing, others were changed to appear way more appealing with big cheeks, big eyes, small noses, and other features associated with adorability.
The study found that adorable images spiked more activity in brain areas that were connected to emotion. And the more “aggression” a person felt, the more activity was present in the brain’s reward system. Stavropoulos came to the conclusion that the desire to smush a puppy’s cheeks or pinch a baby’s cheeks is driven by both the reward and the emotion systems of the brain. That’s how the phenomenon appears.
Animal or human babies make us want to pinch and squish their cheeks.
Another study, which was published by Oriana Aragon, backed up Stavropoulos’ study as it discovered that people who have extremely positive reactions toward sweet pictures of babies also “displayed stronger aggressive expression,” such as pinching, squishing, and squeezing cheeks.
Another experiment in that study showed that participants popped more bubble wrap when they saw images of lovable baby animals, as opposed to those who viewed pictures of older animals. This shows that if people were given the chance to squeeze something while seeing adorable pictures, they totally would. Though, not with harmful intent, Aragon clarifies.
“Baby schema” is why we find babies delightful.
We understand why we feel the need to pinch the cheeks of adorable little babies, but why do we actually find them so adorable? Well, according to Konrad Lorenz, there’s something called “baby schema,” which explains why we find baby creatures so lovely. It covers the specific physical features such as a large head, a small face, big round eyes, small ears, a short snout, chubby cheeks, and more.
What’s even more curious is that these characteristics increase the survival rate with offspring that are dependant on care. It makes it possible for adult animals take care of cubs of different species, which goes for human babies as well.

Fashion is a very moody and fickle thing. Very often, while trying to be trendy, we buy the most unexpected things. This doesn’t damage anything but our finances. But sometimes, beauty standards require us to change something in our bodies. And this is always risky: a popular trend might be forgotten soon, but the changes we’ve made to our bodies will remain with us indefinitely.
We at Bright Side have made a list of popular body modifications that left a mark on our minds and on our bodies.
Eyelash extensions
Getting eyelash extensions is a standard and pretty harmless procedure if you follow certain rules. It’s better to avoid having them for a long time. You should maybe get them for a special occasion and then remove them afterward. According to eye doctors, eyelash extensions can lead to a decrease in the speed of the growth of your natural lashes. Another danger is dry eye syndrome. Also, before the procedure, make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction to the glue that the lashes require. First, when I started with extensions, I loved them! But 6 months later, I decided to stop when I thought that they fell out way too easily and looked really ratty after the second week. The aftermath is not pretty when they’re removed. My lashes looked like some of them were cut off by scissors because they were weakened at various points. © sadiebenz / Reddit
Eyebrows
The trends that dictate which eyebrow shape is popular change with the weather. About 30 years ago, really thin eyebrows were trendy. Then, they were replaced with big eyebrows and it seems that this cycle is never-ending. Now, microblading and tattooing are very popular procedures. It’s convenient: you get it once and then you just update it once every few months. Of course, which artist you go to is really important. If you end up with asymmetric eyebrows, you will need a lot of time before everything goes back to normal. When I was in high school & during my first year of college, I plucked my eyebrows until they were pencil-thin — I thought they looked good at the time. Now, I look back at that time where thin eyebrows were a trend and I don’t understand how I didn’t see that they did not at all suit my face. © Joy Keeler / Quora
I decided to get microblading. At first, the artist recommended doing black eyebrows (I’m ginger and I have pale skin). I insisted on a mix of auburn and cocoa. Unfortunately, he used the wrong ink and the cocoa color disappeared so I ended up with orange eyebrows. This color is still with me. © Elle Hayes / Quora
Piercing
Piercings were really popular at the end of the ’90s and the beginning of the 2000s. Pierced noses, eyebrows, lips, and other body parts looked really attractive and intriguing. The most popular spot for piercing was the belly button. Celebrities were the first people to start the trend. When ordinary girls saw pictures of famous singers with rings in their belly buttons, they ran to piercing artists to have the same thing done. I regret my navel piercing. My piercing got caught on clothing and was ripped clean out, leaving a ragged scar. And my tongue piercing caused a great deal of damage to my teeth. © Christi Zelaya / Quora
Tattoos
Tattoos are quite normal and there’s nothing unusual about them. If you’re lucky enough to find a talented artist, you might end up with a true masterpiece on your body. With tattoos, you can hide scars and cosmetic skin defects, which is great. The most important thing to do is choose a picture you really like so you can still enjoy the tattoo after whatever is trendy is gone. I was impulsive and wanted one NOW. I didn’t do my research and make sure that I went to a good shop. I didn’t even heed the warning signs I saw that were telling me that the place I was at was not good. Going to a sketchy place to get a permanent addition to my body was a very bad decision. Yet, I went anyway. I got the album cover of my favorite band at the time. The tattoo did not turn out very well. I kept it there for about 3 years or so. I then got it covered up. Depending on the tattoo, that can be a rather difficult process or very simple. Thankfully, my first tattoo was pretty basic and only black, so it wasn’t too difficult to cover. © Ashley Starr / Quora
I almost immediately regretted my Chinese lettering tattoo (...that as always, didn’t say what it was supposed to)...I finally covered it up with an awesome raven! © niky45 / Reddit
Stretched ears
This trend is not as popular as regular piercing and it also looks way more unusual. With special rings, ordinary holes are stretched to really big sizes. The only problem is that these holes never really heal. To get rid of the hole, you will need surgery with stitches. I can tell you from experience the wrong way to stretch your ears. The main thing you do not want to do is force it! I used a taper to go from 7/8″ to 1″ and forced it through causing the top of my lobes to split. It was hell getting it to heal and the scar tissue will not allow the holes to close any smaller than 5/8″ no matter how long I leave them out. As a general rule though, it requires plastic surgery to have your earlobes fixed. © Daniel Caldwell / Quora
Tanning
The bronze color of the body was believed to be very attractive for a long time. In the summer, everyone would spend the entire day on the beach. In the winter, when there was not a lot of sunshine, people often went to tanning salons. All that sunbathing was bad for the skin, and led to early wrinkles, dry skin, and irritation. And these are not the worst of the possible side effects. I was in school in the 2000s and it was the era of glamour when girls wore high heels and my classmates went to tanning salons all the time. They looked like they lived in the desert all the time. It didn’t look healthy at all. Our chemistry teacher tried to explain to them that it was not good for their health, but they didn’t listen. Anyway, 12 years after we finished school, they already look much older than everyone else: wrinkles, saggy skin. It’s great that tanning is not trendy now.
Acrylic nails
This is a very popular procedure that people started doing in the previous century. Acrylic itself is not dangerous, but when using it you still have to let your nails rest. The acrylic cover protects the nails from damage, but the nails themselves become thin and vulnerable. Unfortunately, acrylic nails ruin your real nails for years. My nails became thin and brittle. © Katie Gall Costa / Quora
I used to get acrylics but they were awful for my nails, and I gave up on them. If the cover gets off the nail a bit and some moisture gets in, a fungus might even appear. You will have to go to the salon and apply acetone. You can’t remove the cover on your own because you might accidentally remove the upper layer of your natural nail (or even the nail itself). © Sandy Andina / Quora
Colored lenses
Colored lenses make the eyes look completely different. This is a totally harmless accessory if you buy it after visiting an eye doctor. You should only buy these things from certified companies, or you might damage your eyes permanently. I’ve been wearing contact lenses for more than 15 years. Once, I decided to order some cool colored lenses from a company I didn’t know. I had to remove them after several minutes. I felt like there was sand in my eyes. They continued hurting afterward and I had to wear glasses for a week.
Dermal piercing
Dermal piercing on your skin look very attractive. You don’t need to buy rings, bracelets, or necklaces: you can put them right into your skin. The most important thing is to choose the right spot. Your fingers, lips, back, or shoulders are not the best options. Clothes and other things will get tangled all the time and the skin will most likely get injured. Even with my excellent track record of healing piercings, my dermals still rejected about 4 months after I got them. Granted, they were near where my bra strap would rub, but I believe they would have rejected even if I had moved them over an inch. These were the most painful to get and were the only piercings I have ever retired. If you attempt dermals, make sure to get them in a location where there will be minimal irritation. © Cheyenne K / Quora
Permanent makeup
Permanent makeup is a great solution for people that are allergic to beauty products. But the main disadvantage is in its name. You can only remove the makeup with laser correction. So, you need to choose the best professionals to do this procedure. I was talked into getting eyeliner on my lower lash line and got a blowout. I now look like an ex-con with a tear on my eye. © Anonymous / Quora
Do not do permanent eyeliner!! It will damage your Meibomian glands and lead to chronic dry eye disease. It’s very risky. © b***sinseats / Reddit

Trying to find your own unique style is an interesting task. The most important thing is to understand what you want and not what fashion is dictating.
Have you ever changed your appearance because you were trying to follow fashion trends? Do you regret anything?

Our toothbrushes hold tons of microbes in their bristles that can be damaging for our oral health. Other unwanted germs within our lives can hide in many places we never thought of cleaning, or we simply don’t know how to properly clean them. That’s why it’s so important to be aware of bacteria growth in our homes and know how to combat it effectively.
For this reason, Bright Side found the top tips for making sure we stay germ-free at home along with a bonus cleaning hack for your dishwasher.
1. Use mouthwash to disinfect your toothbrush.
Each time we use our toothbrush, we may be transferring bathroom bacteria directly into our mouths. If you’re someone who flushes the toilet with the lid up, then you could be spreading waste particles around the room, which can settle on surfaces and objects. Therefore, it’s recommended to sanitize your toothbrush in mouthwash for 2 minutes after using it.
2. Clean your oven with 1/5 cup of ammonia.
Simply heat your oven to 150ºF then turn it off and place 1/5 cup of ammonia in a bowl on your oven’s top shelf. Place a bowl of boiling water on the shelf below and close the door, leaving them to do their thing overnight. This will help the grime to drop off from your oven, helping you to easily wipe it clean the next day.
3. Microwave your sponge.
Our dish sponges collect large amounts of harmful bacteria that we don’t want to then transfer to our dishes while washing them. To sterilize a sponge, you should wet it completely before placing it in the microwave for 1 minute. The extreme heat will zap any bacteria growing in your sponges. Repeat this every few days when your sponge starts to smell.
4. Clean your wooden kitchen tools.
Our wooden spoons can suffer in the kitchen, especially if they get put into the dishwasher or are left to soak. To keep them healthy, it’s recommended to rub them with a slice of lemon in order to stop any unwanted smells to permeate. You can also coat them with vegetable or coconut oil for a little tender loving care. This will make them shine and protect them from harmful moisture. When they’re exposed to too much moisture, they grow mildew, which isn’t the most hygienic thing for your cooking vessels.
5. Wipe down your windowsills regularly.
Because windows and windowsills can collect condensation, they can be a prime breeding ground for fungi and microbes. Make sure that you don’t forget about these hotspots that can be harboring a concentration of bacteria due to the damp environment of the window.
6. Shampoo your hairbrush.
Our hairbrushes are often neglected when it comes to cleaning, even though they may be carrying a lot of dirt. This is because our hair can develop a buildup of pollution and everyday germs when we’re out and about, which then gets transferred to our brushes. It’s advised to clean your brush once a month by removing old hairs and shampooing it overnight before rinsing it clean.
7. Disinfect your yoga mat with apple cider vinegar.
Yoga mats can pick up tons of bacteria, not only from the dampness caused by our sweat but also from being placed on floors, especially at fitness centers. Therefore, it’s recommended to clean your mat every time you use it. Simply wipe it down using a cloth and equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. The vinegar will act as a disinfectant, giving your mat a fresh makeover.
8. Clean your silver jewelry with soda and salt.
To restore them back to their original glory, you should line a tray with aluminum foil and add 2 tablespoons of soda and 1 tablespoon of salt. Place the jewelry on top and cover it with boiling water. By leaving this to soak overnight, it will dissolve the dirt and tarnish that collects on our silver accessories.
9. Clean your keyboard with gel.
Cleaning slime can be very practical for removing the buildup of dust and dirt from small spaces, and it’s very easy to make at home! You’ll need to mix 1 cup of warm water with borax in a bowl and 1/2 a cup of warm water with glue in another bowl. Combine the 2 mixtures and stir until it becomes firm — then knead it into a hard ball.
Bonus: Use a mesh bag in the dishwasher.
To make sure that everything is properly washed in the dishwasher, it’s important to use a mesh bag to keep the smaller items together. This stops the smaller pieces from slipping down into the washer and not getting sterilized properly.
