My brother had a cat. He was white, fluffy, and just handsome. But he was also sneaky, nasty, and cunning. I must say that he was terrified of my brother. Once, we saw my brother on the street and went to his apartment to have some coffee. We entered the apartment, opened the door to the kitchen, and saw this — the cat was eating his owners’ food products while sitting on the table. When he saw us, and he had no choice but to act like he’d passed out.© Palata № 6 / Vkontakte

Sometimes a small change can be like night and day, and this is especially true when it comes to fashion. Today, we’re focusing on necklines, and more specifically, how we can choose the right kind of neckline and cleavage according to our body type. It’s not about creating rules that have to be followed — it’s more about exposing a few tricks that you can use to your advantage to convey the image you want. At least that’s what experts are saying out there.
So without further ado, here’s Bright Side’s latest compilation of necklines along with the effects each one has on how your body looks.
1. A round neckline
This is a classic design in a round shape. It’s close to the neck and mainly draws people’s attention to your face and shoulders. Its proximity to the chin creates the illusion of larger breasts and a shorter neck. Who it’s recommended for: Women with long necks and thin faces, as well as those with wide shoulders or medium or small breasts, can benefit from this neckline because it helps bring out their natural beauty.
2. A square neckline
This vintage style neckline is always a good option to add a fun, special touch to your outfit. In addition, its square shape can help create a bit of contrast, which can be used to bring out your curves. Who it’s recommended for: This design is perfect for girls with larger breasts because it reveals enough skin without showing too much. It can also be used to give the impression that you have a larger neck or wider shoulders since the whole idea behind it is precisely to create this type of contrast between the breasts and neck.
3. The V-neck
This is a traditional design that favors all body types, but you should always take the depth of the neckline into account. Who it’s recommended for: The V-neck is very versatile. A shorter V-neck is ideal for women with small breasts who want to draw more attention to their faces, while a deeper V-neck will lengthen the torso of women with larger breasts. It’s also a great ally to girls with broad shoulders and torsos as it creates a more upright appearance. Finally, women with smaller necks will notice that V-necks will make them feel more elongated.
4. A neckline with a collar
This is perhaps the most traditional style on the list and one that fits all body types as well. If you want to achieve a classic, feminine look that also has a touch of elegance, this is the right option. Who it’s recommended for: This loose-fitting neckline favors large-breasted women, leaving room for the breasts to settle in, creating a smooth look. Girls with medium or small breasts can easily opt for a tighter garment and can still pull off the look. Those with very thin necks can use the collar to give the impression of having a longer neck.
5. An off-shoulder neckline
Also known as a “Bardot” neck, it’s a feminine and flirty style that brings out your collarbone and face. Who it’s recommended for: The “Bardot” is ideal for girls with narrow shoulders as it lengthens them horizontally. It’s also a good choice for medium or small-breasted women.
6. An asymmetrical neckline
This avant-garde neckline is the perfect choice to brighten up an outfit without really losing its seriousness or sacrificing on drama. That unexpected twist can make an outfit unforgettable. Who it’s recommended for: Women with narrow shoulders and thin arms who want to widen these parts of their body for a special occasion should opt for this neckline. Plus, it puts an original twist on things.
7. A turtle neck
A neckline that extends a few inches up, almost touching your chin, is referred to as a turtle neck. It’s an elegant way to take any outfit to the next level while still being casual. It can even be worn with jeans or a miniskirt. Who it’s recommended for: The turtleneck is one of the best-kept secrets for girls that feel they have longer faces or necks. If you’re worried about the length of your neck, here’s a trick you can always use. Choose a top or dress with a turtle neck that’s not too high. There should be a few inches of uncovered skin between your chin and the garment.
8. A sweetheart neckline
Romantic and seductive, this style of heart-shaped cleavage suits many different body types. Who it’s recommended for: Its openness draws attention to the curves of large-breasted women’s chests but it also helps create more volume for women with smaller breasts. In addition, this wavy neckline can be used to elongate your silhouette. That, in turn, can make you look thinner, so it’s perfect for people who want to have a more slender posture.
9. The boat neck
The boat neck is another sophisticated, classic option for girls who want to add a touch of spice and originality to their outfit. It’s a wider neckline that goes from shoulder to shoulder, all the way down to the collarbone. Who it’s recommended for: Since it shows the skin on the upper chest, it draws attention to the shoulders. Girls with narrow shoulders and thin arms will glow with this look, as well as those with wider hips because it brings more balance to their figure.
10. The halter
This is a fresh and not-so-common design that adds a bit of surprise to an outfit. It’s the best way to look modern and classy at the same time. Who it’s recommended for: This style is ideal for women with broad shoulders because it directs people’s attention up to the center of the neck. This gives the impression that the shoulders are perfectly in balance. It also enhances curves, so it’s recommended for women with very thin waists.
11. Strapless
A strapless shirt or dress leaves a great deal of the upper body uncovered, drawing people’s attention directly to that area. It’s a bit more casual and daring. Who it’s recommended for: Women with long necks and pronounced collarbones can really show this look off. Women with thin arms will stand out because of their toned muscles, and those with narrow shoulders will be able to make their arms look longer and achieve a very balanced image. It’s usually more suitable for girls with medium or small breasts since you don’t need as supportive of a bra that typically requires straps.

When we hear the word, “messy,” we imagine someone in wrinkled clothes with dirty hair and wearing old shoes. However, this look is somewhat of an exaggeration. In reality, there are very minor details that can make a person look messy.
We at Bright Side have analyzed people’s looks very carefully and are ready to share a list of details that can make anyone look messy.
Messy shoes: dirty white soles but clean on top
To prolong the life of your shoes and clothes, it’s important to take good care of them. Your clothes have to be clean and neat — it’s the most important thing. Very often, shoes are clean but what many people overlook is the white soles. At first, they look okay but after some time, all the dirt builds up on them, making the entire shoe appear messy. Spend a few minutes cleaning your soles whenever you put them on.
Leftover foundation in the hair
Some girls probably have likely experienced being in a rush and accidentally getting some foundation on their hair. It’s not all that obvious but still, take a moment before you leave home to check your look in the mirror.
Grown cuticles on nails with gel polish
If you don’t have time to go to a salon often enough, try giving yourself a manicure at home to make the cuticles look neat.
Poorly made fake eyelashes
It’s important to monitor the condition of fake eyelashes and not miss the moment when they start to look bad. Sometimes, we get lucky and the lashes fall off nicely but very often, they fall off in the middle of the eye, forming a blank spot. If you don’t have enough time to see a lash artist, remove the eyelashes on your own.
Soap under and on your rings
People rarely remove their rings when they wash their hands — after all, they’re easy to drop and lose. But many people have the common problem of getting soap underneath the rings and it’s hard to notice right away. To avoid such situations, use liquid soap as it’s much easier to wash off.
A bunch of receipts in your purse
Sometimes, we take our change and receipts and stuff it all in our bag. But when there are too many receipts, the bag starts to look like a mini-Narnia. If you need to keep receipts, find a separate pocket for them. If you do this, you won’t have to spend 30 minutes every time you need to find your keys. Make sure you only have the things you really need in your bag.
Wearing the wrong type of undergarments
Sometimes, the wrong undergarments can ruin the entire look. You have to take many important things into account when choosing the right underwear. All parts of the bra need to look good under the clothes you’re wearing at the moment.
Traces of bad ironing on clothes
Even if you iron clothes often, it doesn’t mean you do it right. If you do it poorly, the clothes will still look messy. To avoid the visible lines, iron T-shirts, blouses, and more at the right temperature for the specific fabric and on the inside of the cloth.
Beauty product spots on the hands
The most comfortable spot to test beauty products is the left hand. This is where we put the foundation that we then spread around the face. This means we often have dirty spots on our hands that don’t look very good. To remove these makeup leftovers from your hand, get a bottle of micellar water or makeup removal wipes to use.
A dirty cell phone and accessories
We use our cell phones every single day and always have them with us. So it’s not surprising that they don’t always look great, with a screen covered in fingerprints or a dirty case. To make the phone look better, get used to wiping it with a napkin several times a day. As you’ve likely noticed, dirty cases look terrible.

Everyone knows that a dog is man’s best friend, but this type of pet prefers to be friends with their owner exclusively, not along with an entire pack. An attentive owner will immediately notice the slightest changes in their pet’s behavior because all their emotions are written on their face.
At Bright Side, we decided to figure out how dogs get along with their step-siblings.
“Who else ruined their older dog’s life by getting them a younger sibling?”
“We made that mistake twice.”
“My sister sent me a photo of her dog and a new puppy. Just look at that face.”
“It was at this moment Hank regretted asking for a little brother.”
“It seems like he’s asking, ’Let’s take this thing back, okay?’”
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
“My dog is not as amused by the new puppy as we are.”
“One day it will be over. I just need to be patient.”
“Our old boy is really annoyed with our new girl.”
“How your dog feels when you bring home a ’cute’ new puppy”
“When I’m happy, someone I hate suddenly appears.”
“He annoys me.”
“Abby is being so patient with the new puppy.”
“When your little brother is being annoying but your mom is standing right there”
“I’m not sure how my dog feels about her new foster sister.”
“When you get caught bullying your younger sibling”
A self-explanatory look
“My older, smaller dog with his younger, bigger sibling”
“He loves his little brother, I swear.”
“Watson thought if he just didn’t look at the problem, it would go away.”
“Yes, Rosco has ruined Riley’s remaining years.”
“Kingsley loves her new seat in the truck. Her big sister isn’t at all happy about it.”
“He loves his new sister.”


brightside--2020-10-07--We’re Shedding Some Light on 12 Misconceptions About Tattoos

We know that tattoos are quite fashionable and more and more people are deciding to get their skin adorned with them .
But the world of tattoos still raises many questions — most of them being myths .
There are many people out there wondering if just anyone can get tattoed or if they fade over time .
Some people even think that there are colors that hurt more when getting inked than others .
1 .
You can ’ t donate blood if you have a tattoo .
You ’ ve probably heard multiple times that people who have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
Of course , that ’ s nothing but a myth , or at least , it ’ s not entirely true .
They can donate blood if they meet all the requirements to become a donor .
Since tattoos are made using a needle that goes all the way to the dermis ( a deep layer of skin ) , if it ’ s not done properly , it can lead to blood infections .
However , once a period of time to rule out a blood infection has passed ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the tattoo was first done , but it all depends on the country and the medical institution in question ) , the person can then donate blood .
2 .
You shouldn ’ t get a tattoo if you ’ re pregnant .
There ’ s very little evidence , so far , proving that pregnant women put their health or their baby ’ s health at risk by getting a tattoo .
At least , there ’ s no additional risk associated with getting a tattoo while pregnant .
Just like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal with the risk of blood infections due to a lack of hygiene at certain tattoo shops or poor skills .
If you decide to go and get a tattoo while pregnant , keep in mind that some doctors recommend not getting a tattoo on your back , because they think it could interfere with a potential epidural shot .
Often , the needle is inserted outside of the tattooed area to avoid mixing it with the pigment .
This one ’ s a total misunderstanding .
Let ’ s debunk this myth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get a tattoo .
The only thing that ’ s currently suggested by doctors is to avoid getting tattoos on the areas of the body where less blood circulates and where you usually inject insulin .
That ’ s simply because you could hurt your skin .
But take note of the following information .
The above recommendations are directed to patients who take good care of themselves .
For those who have ignored their doctor ’ s advice or whose diabetes is completely out of hand , then yes , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could ’ ve lost some of its healing capacity or they might have a weaker immune response to infection .
4 .
Getting a tattoo hurts more or less depending on the place you get it .
It ’ s true , the pain you can feel from a tattoo depends not only on how well you can stand pain in general but also on the location of your tattoo .
Usually , tattoos that hurt the most are those located in a place with very little fat .
That includes , of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or in places on your body where there are more nerve endings .
If you ’ re concerned about this , be sure to avoid getting tattoos on your armpits , ribs , ankles , breasts , elbows , hips , neck , or face , among others .
6 .
White tattoos are more painful to get than others .
This idea is completely false .
Normally , when you get a tattoo , the tattoo artist saves white for the end , just to make everything a bit brighter and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this time , your skin is most likely already pretty sore from getting ink injected into your dermis for several hours .
It ’ s hardly surprising that you ’ d feel more pain at that point .
But this has nothing to do with the color of the ink — it just happens because your skin is already very sensitive .
This one , as it turns out , is true .
But it ’ s more common with tattoos that were done many years ago .
Actually , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ green , it ’ s just that it gets absorbed and gradually fades away , leaving a bluish trace behind .
This can happen because you ’ ve had the tattoo for a while or because your tattoo is located on a part of your body that has been exposed to lots of sunlight .
8 .
Suffering from hemophilia means you can ’ t get a tattoo .
This is not completely false .
Hemophilia , a disease that prevents proper blood clotting , has various levels ranging from mild to severe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mild hemophilia , the risk of bleeding complications is much lower , so they can get a tattoo with the appropriate guidance from their physician .
But for patients with more serious conditions , it ’ s safe to assume that they shouldn ’ t get a tattoo in the first place .
There are also cases of people who had medium or severe hemophilia that got a tattoo without suffering from any major complications .
It depends a lot on the individual case , but it ’ s always better to check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to avoid dangerous surprises .
9 .
Getting a tattoo will decrease your chances of getting more career opportunities .
Public opinion regarding tattoos has come a long way over the years .
Nowadays , it ’ s increasingly common for people to be tattooed .
Of course , that also means that it ’ s now widely accepted for professionals and successful people to be tattooed without having to face any issues as people did back in the ’ 50s .
But clearly , there are still a few professions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Fortunately , this is becoming a more relevant issue in public debate and there ’ s a constant fight to create inclusive workspaces .
10 .
You ’ ll bleed if you get a tattoo .
Because tattooing needles basically inject ink under your skin , it ’ s normal for a person to bleed while they ’ re getting a tattoo .
This can make you bleed a lot , but it ’ s still quite far from what would be considered a dangerous blood loss .
In fact , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Once the tattoo is finished , there ’ s a period of up to 36 hours where it will seem to be leaking ink and you might see plasma and blood in it .
This is totally normal .
You just have to be sure to clean it and follow all the tattoo artist ’ s instructions .
If it continues after 36 hours , you should seek medical help .
11 .
Tattoo artists use the same needle to ink all their clients .
This is completely false .
One of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proper tattoo studio is that all the material used must be brand new .
Needles , gloves , and mouthpieces must be disposable and single-use only , so the artists usually open these components in front of the client to prove that they ’ re using the right material .
Once the tattoo is done , all of this waste must go into a specific “ hazardous waste ” bin so that is not a danger to anyone who collects the garbage .
Of course , there might be places that are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you always have to keep your eyes open and do your research !
12 .
You can ’ t get rid of a tattoo .

We know that tattoos are quite fashionable and more and more people are deciding to get their skin adorned with them. But the world of tattoos still raises many questions — most of them being myths. There are many people out there wondering if just anyone can get tattoed or if they fade over time. Some people even think that there are colors that hurt more when getting inked than others.
Bright Side decided to carry out some research online to know more about these common tattoo myths and we found out that most of the time, they’re just that — myths. So we debunked a few of them and found out the reasoning behind the ones that turned out to be true!
1. You can’t donate blood if you have a tattoo.
You’ve probably heard multiple times that people who have tattoos can’t donate blood at all. Of course, that’s nothing but a myth, or at least, it’s not entirely true. They can donate blood if they meet all the requirements to become a donor. Since tattoos are made using a needle that goes all the way to the dermis (a deep layer of skin), if it’s not done properly, it can lead to blood infections. However, once a period of time to rule out a blood infection has passed (which could last at least 6 months after the tattoo was first done, but it all depends on the country and the medical institution in question), the person can then donate blood.
2. You shouldn’t get a tattoo if you’re pregnant.
There’s very little evidence, so far, proving that pregnant women put their health or their baby’s health at risk by getting a tattoo. At least, there’s no additional risk associated with getting a tattoo while pregnant. Just like non-pregnant women, future moms have to deal with the risk of blood infections due to a lack of hygiene at certain tattoo shops or poor skills. If you decide to go and get a tattoo while pregnant, keep in mind that some doctors recommend not getting a tattoo on your back, because they think it could interfere with a potential epidural shot. Often, the needle is inserted outside of the tattooed area to avoid mixing it with the pigment.
3. People with diabetes can’t get a tattoo.
This one’s a total misunderstanding. Let’s debunk this myth! Having diabetes is no reason not to get a tattoo. The only thing that’s currently suggested by doctors is to avoid getting tattoos on the areas of the body where less blood circulates and where you usually inject insulin. That’s simply because you could hurt your skin. But take note of the following information. The above recommendations are directed to patients who take good care of themselves. For those who have ignored their doctor’s advice or whose diabetes is completely out of hand, then yes, they could be at risk. Their skin could’ve lost some of its healing capacity or they might have a weaker immune response to infection.
4. Getting a tattoo hurts more or less depending on the place you get it.
It’s true, the pain you can feel from a tattoo depends not only on how well you can stand pain in general but also on the location of your tattoo. Usually, tattoos that hurt the most are those located in a place with very little fat. That includes, of course, any skin near a bone, or in places on your body where there are more nerve endings. If you’re concerned about this, be sure to avoid getting tattoos on your armpits, ribs, ankles, breasts, elbows, hips, neck, or face, among others.
5. People with tattoos can’t get MRIs.
The belief that a person with a tattoo can have problems getting an MRI spread because of the metallic components found in tattoo ink. But this is definitely a myth: according to a study carried out by the Max Planck Institute in Germany, the possibility of side effects are so small, it’s close to negligible. In fact, the study mentions this merely as a small number of isolated cases rather than a general rule for tattooed people.
6. White tattoos are more painful to get than others.
This idea is completely false. Normally, when you get a tattoo, the tattoo artist saves white for the end, just to make everything a bit brighter and adjust some minor details. But by this time, your skin is most likely already pretty sore from getting ink injected into your dermis for several hours. It’s hardly surprising that you’d feel more pain at that point. But this has nothing to do with the color of the ink — it just happens because your skin is already very sensitive.
7. Black ink turns blue or green with time.
This one, as it turns out, is true. But it’s more common with tattoos that were done many years ago. Actually, it’s not the ink that turns blue or green, it’s just that it gets absorbed and gradually fades away, leaving a bluish trace behind. This can happen because you’ve had the tattoo for a while or because your tattoo is located on a part of your body that has been exposed to lots of sunlight.
8. Suffering from hemophilia means you can’t get a tattoo.
This is not completely false. Hemophilia, a disease that prevents proper blood clotting, has various levels ranging from mild to severe. In cases where people suffer from mild hemophilia, the risk of bleeding complications is much lower, so they can get a tattoo with the appropriate guidance from their physician. But for patients with more serious conditions, it’s safe to assume that they shouldn’t get a tattoo in the first place. There are also cases of people who had medium or severe hemophilia that got a tattoo without suffering from any major complications. It depends a lot on the individual case, but it’s always better to check with your doctor before making any decisions in order to avoid dangerous surprises.
9. Getting a tattoo will decrease your chances of getting more career opportunities.
Public opinion regarding tattoos has come a long way over the years. Nowadays, it’s increasingly common for people to be tattooed. Of course, that also means that it’s now widely accepted for professionals and successful people to be tattooed without having to face any issues as people did back in the ’50s. But clearly, there are still a few professions where having tattoos can lead to discrimination. Fortunately, this is becoming a more relevant issue in public debate and there’s a constant fight to create inclusive workspaces.
10. You’ll bleed if you get a tattoo.
Because tattooing needles basically inject ink under your skin, it’s normal for a person to bleed while they’re getting a tattoo. This can make you bleed a lot, but it’s still quite far from what would be considered a dangerous blood loss. In fact, some people don’t bleed at all. Once the tattoo is finished, there’s a period of up to 36 hours where it will seem to be leaking ink and you might see plasma and blood in it. This is totally normal. You just have to be sure to clean it and follow all the tattoo artist’s instructions. If it continues after 36 hours, you should seek medical help.
11. Tattoo artists use the same needle to ink all their clients.
This is completely false. One of the basic rules of hygiene for a proper tattoo studio is that all the material used must be brand new. Needles, gloves, and mouthpieces must be disposable and single-use only, so the artists usually open these components in front of the client to prove that they’re using the right material. Once the tattoo is done, all of this waste must go into a specific “hazardous waste” bin so that is not a danger to anyone who collects the garbage. Of course, there might be places that are not following the rules, which is why you always have to keep your eyes open and do your research!
12. You can’t get rid of a tattoo.
This is a myth since there are many tattoos that can be “erased.” The bad news is that not all of them can be removed. Despite the fact that there are more and more places that specialize in tattoo removal, this is still an area that has not been explored much. Up to this moment, it’s known that black tattoos, small ones, and those several years old are the easiest to remove. It’s also a very painful process.

This world can be so confusing that sometimes we have to look at things twice because we can’t believe what we’re seeing. Of course, we are aware that most of the time, those are optical illusions playing tricks on us. To see objects floating or something else that is clearly misleading is not a common thing, but it can happen and we’ve found proof of it. Users from social media have captured moments where gravity seems to be taking a vacation and where things got weird.
Bright Side looked for images online that could “prove” that it’s possible to levitate here on Earth, and we found out that, yes, it is possible, but only in front of a camera! Also, we found evidence that cats are experts on the matter. Take a look!
1. “I have built Tensegrity Table”
2. Hello hooman, why are you backward today?
3. “My cat having a blast on his favorite chair”
4. Is the sign floating?
5. “The way my wife stored this laundry basket.”
6. Levitation 101: grab a good sip of your iced coffee
7. “Ummm... Floating cow?”
8. “None of the basketball players are touching the ground. Neither is the referee.”
9. “My cat walking on the wall”
10. “Levitation?”
11. Wait and see how I open this.
12. The amazing Spider-cat!
13. This is the kind of thing that happens when you’re too tall...
14. “Thought this section of fencing was levitating.”
15. “Everybody’s cool until the vans start floating.”
16. “Levitating pizza”
17. “Caught Kapiti Island levitating back in February”
18. “Chonker levitating before coming home from the shelter”
19. “Levitating doggo relaxing”
20. “The sauce looks like it’s floating!”
21. “The letters on the CARTS sign appear to float in the air.”
22. “My dad’s eyedrops look like they’re floating.”
23. A nice tree floating in the middle of the road
24. Bread decided it wasn’t enough to just rise... so it floated.
25. “Cat levitating in the sink”

Is there anything that dads wouldn’t do for the sake of their beloved daughters and sons? They might build a stand for a magic wand, a sign for the store at the request of their no longer small child, or build a bed that resembles the real castle of a fairytale princess. Some of them are even ready to put on a fancy costume and accompany their kid to the concert of their favorite band.
The characters of today’s Bright Side compilation are brave dads who are ready to do anything for their children. And, in the bonus, a father who decided to not bother and mastered the culinary arts at his own peril and risk is waiting for you.

The standards of female beauty always change. As history shows, fashion trends are cyclical, and you never know which of them will steal our hearts again, and which ones will end up on the sidelines.
At Bright Side, we discovered 8 features that are as popular now as they were several centuries ago. It turns out that the bewildering peculiarities of medieval life are closer to us than it might seem. As a bonus, you will find a trend that both celebrities and ordinary women have picked up with the same vigor.
“Foxy eyes”
The “foxy eyes” were popular in the Middle Ages too. Makeup was forbidden then, so ladies tried to get this effect with the help of sophisticated methods. They plucked their eyebrows and eyelashes — both upper and lower. They also did painful things to themselves that caused facial edema. Thus, the cheeks and eyes became puffy, the eyes would narrow down and get that flirtatious foxy shape.
Puffy face
A puffy round face with slightly slanted eyes was considered very attractive in the Middle Ages. Perhaps the reason for this is rooted in the Golden Horde, which had an impressive amount of power and influence in those days. Besides, people of that era were influenced by the stories of Italian traveler Marco Polo, who visited China and described the beauty of Chinese women. Many modern girls nowadays pout their lips, make a sleepy expression, and deliberately squint their eyes while taking pictures for their social networks. Perfect examples of these pictures can be seen on Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa’s Instagram accounts. In addition, the world has long been captivated by the Asian style, and girls with this type of appearance are currently considered to be the most beautiful in the world.
Expressive eyes
In order to make their eyes super-deep, modern girls wear contact lenses or use photo editors. In the past, noble beauties used a more dangerous method. They dropped belladonna juice, which is a very poisonous plant, into their eyes. It dilated the pupils, making the eyes shine and appear visually bigger. By the way, this is the reason belladonna means “beautiful woman” in Italian.
Makeup without makeup
Natural makeup, which is also called makeup without makeup, has been the main trend of recent years and many fashion designers, makeup artists, and famous stars follow it. The main thing is that you can use a dozen beauty products, but afterward your face should look freshly washed. In the Middle Ages, women also had to look natural because any makeup was strictly prohibited by the clergy. But even in those dark times, women managed to correct their appearance with the use of natural products that weren’t visible on the face. For example, they made their lips brighter by rubbing them with lemon, and hid skin imperfections with the help of special concoctions.
Microblading
After the fashion experiments of the 2000s, girls signed up for microblading to restore their eyebrows. The noble ladies of the Middle Ages had a similar problem. All of them shaved off their eyebrows, which didn’t want to grow back again. The hair of their eyebrows was restored with the help of rodent fur. Later, they used human hair for this same purpose.
Hair extensions
Women of the past experimented with hair extensions as much as they do now. Of course, the church of that time condemned the wearing of wigs, but many people continued to do so anyway. At that time, hair was expensive, but noble ladies who dreamed of having luxurious hair eagerly bought them.
No body hair
Removing unwanted hair, including hair on the forehead, was considered an important beauty ritual by medieval ladies. They wanted to have smooth skin and they did it with the help of special depilation pastes. These pastes were usually made of vinegar or quicklime.
Strawberry blond
Strawberry blonde has been one of the most popular hair colors in recent years. But curls in this color were in high “demand” in the past too. However, women had a hard time trying to dye their hair. It was believed that an opal necklace would help hair to not get darker, so many women tried their best to get a piece of this jewelry.
Bonus: Pregnancy
In the 21st century, celebrities are happy to share their pregnant pictures on social networks, while ordinary women often get professional photoshoots. Nowadays, pregnant beauties are proud of their pregnancy as much as any medieval lady. In those days, the fashion for pregnancy was so strong that women often wore special false bellies under their dresses to imitate it. This style appeared during the era of the Crusades because women had to stay alone for a long time while their husbands were in a war. When the head of the family returned, their wives became pregnant, and this delicate condition was associated with happiness and health.

When people want to change something in their life, like lose weight, for example, they follow the impulse, but it’s never quite enough because their enthusiasm eventually fades away and the problem remains. When you realize that your goal is not that attainable, the easiest thing to do is drop everything and return to the starting point. Scientists and psychologists haven’t figured out how to solve the problem of decreased motivation yet but they have proposed an alternative option — to try new behavioral strategies and not to become discouraged in case of failure. Try to break the habits you already have, do something new and unusual every day, and remember the ultimate goal.
Bright Side, together with people who have taken control of their lives, want to help you find motivation, at least for a short time. After that, everything will be in your hands.
“I was very shy and insecure. Taking better care of yourself and self-love can change you beyond recognition.”
“I struggle not only with weight but with the mindset of the girl on the left. This lifestyle is challenging at times but rewarding.”
“From 270 lb to 120 lb — I realized that changing your looks doesn’t change the inside. Self-esteem is a work in progress.”
“The face on the left is a result of a person who knows no limitations. The second photo is me today. I realized I should care about myself as much as I care for others.”
“My achievements in 9 months — minus 46 lb and a grown office plant.”
“The first picture was taken in March 2019, the second one was taken today.”
“I lost 100 lb. It’s nice to know that there are people who are going through the same things as you. I madly respect everyone who is trying to be better.”
“I lost 70 lb. What’s the secret? I eliminated the factors that speed up the process of eating.”
“For me, it was watching TV during dinner. And also, eat slowly so that you know when you’re full.”
“From barely being able to walk to gaining the freedom to live my dreams. I still have lots to achieve.”
“These pics were taken 4 years apart. I used to be bullied relentlessly but now, a few of those bullies actually asked me out.”
28 months later
“The difference between the photos is about 1.5 years. I gave up bad habits.”
“A year ago, I started eating healthy and going to the gym. I lost most of the weight when I signed up for self-defense classes. What really helped was setting goals. At some point, I got stuck at a certain weight, but I didn’t freak out. Just started to drink a lot of water, get more rest, and get enough sleep, and it worked.”
“Sometimes, I think I look like the girl in the first photo. It’s really helpful to put old and new photos side by side.”
“13 months of progress! I’m reaching my goal slowly and steadily.”
“I can hardly recognize myself in the photo on the left. I lost 60 lb.”
“Trying to get in shape to marry my best friend in January!”
“Me in 2012 and me in 2020 — I used to be mistaken for a boy and now, I’m the happy girl I always wanted to be!”
“These are 2 completely different men, physically and mentally. Life truly began at 40 for me! I feel amazing.”
“I feel like I’m aging backward.”
101 lb later
“I was trying to keep motivated and avoid my regular food. As a result, I lost 200 lb in 3.5 years.”
“I changed my hair, got contacts, cleared my skin, and lost some weight.”
“This is a photo of my wife and it’s the best transformation I’ve ever seen. But I’m totally biased.”
“Here is some Monday motivation — if I can do it, anyone can. Don’t give up!”
