All of us have some childhood photos that only the closest people to us are allowed to see. It’s because the way we look in them may shock someone who’s not prepared. But there are some really brave people online that weren’t afraid of sharing these photos with everyone on the internet.
We at Bright Side are really thankful for these people. And at the end of the article, there is a bonus: a photo from our author who had some weird musical tastes during their childhood.

brightside--2020-06-29--8 Things You Didn’t Know Your Tongue Could Do (You Can Try Them at Home)

Our tongue is an organ that we constantly use , but that we don ’ t pay much attention to .
We use it for the most basic functions of human life , like eating and speaking , but there ’ s much more to it than we think .
Your tongue actually has a lot of tricks under its sleeve ( so to speak ) : for example , not many people know that it ’ s one of the most resilient and flexible organs in the human body .
We were surprised at how such a common organ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has so many surprises !
So Bright Side wanted to share with you some curious facts about our tongue that you might not know and that caught our attention .
1 .
Your tongue never gets tired , unlike your other muscles .
Have you noticed that despite the fact that your tongue is a muscle , it never gets tired or sore ?
That is , of course , if you don ’ t suffer from any type of medical condition .
Then , unlike the muscles of your legs or arms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of physical activity , your tongue can handle constant movement because it ’ s actually made of 8 muscles .
It is also extremely flexible because of that .
Could that be why some of us never get tired of eating ?
2 .
Every tongue is different .
Every single tongue is different and unique .
Kind of like your fingers , your tongue has its own unique print , so it could be used as a method of identification .
It might not be too pleasant , though .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tongue at the airport , instead of using your thumb ?
3 .
Can you roll your tongue ?
Scientists are still trying to find a logical explanation for the fact that a large percentage of human beings can roll their tongue to make a “ u ” shape , while a smaller percentage can not .
The main argument behind this suggests that it all comes down to genetics , but studies have been conducted where parents could not do it , and their children could .
Other studies say that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too .
We can ’ t tell for sure yet what having this great gift depends on , but you can give it a try and see if your friends can do it too .
There ’ s something else — a small percentage of people can also do the “ clover leaf tongue.
” It ’ s one of the rarest options of shapes that your tongue can make !
4 .
Tongues don ’ t get tired , but they can get fat .
Like we said in the first point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exhaustion — and the exception to this rule is the tongue .
Of course , that might lead some people to think that the tongue is constantly exercising and in shape , but in fact , just like any other muscle , your tongue can get fat if you gain weight .
Actually , snoring and sleep issues can be related to having a fat tongue !
5 .
Your tongue doesn ’ t really sense different tastes in different areas .
Due to a poor translation of a thesis , the most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tongue was actually misunderstood .
What we know as the areas where the tongue perceives tastes , like sweetness at the tip and bitterness in the back , is just not a thing .
German scientist David Hänig presented his doctoral thesis in 1901 , in which he suggested that the tongue had more sensitive surface areas than others , but his work was misinterpreted by a graph he used to show those areas .
In 1974 , scientist Virginia Collings confirmed that tastes can be detected by any part of the tongue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the intensity with which they are perceived .
By the way , taste buds are actually nature ’ s way of saving our lives , because they allow us to identify bad or poisonous food before eating it .
6 .
It ’ s impossible to capture the flavor of something by just using your tongue .
Tongue identifies tastes , not flavors .
Aren ’ t those the same thing ?
Of course not .
Try eating candy by covering your nose .
Your tongue will identify that it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to tell if it tastes like chocolate or strawberry , since distinguishing flavors is part of the sense of smell , not taste .
If you don ’ t have a piece of candy nearby to try , think about the ugly feeling you get when you get the flu and your nose is congested .
Then , when your sense of smell is blocked , it seems like the food you eat has no taste at all .
7 .
It ’ s the part of the body that heals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you bitten your tongue ?
Probably a lot , but after a few minutes you usually forget that it even happened .
That ’ s because , thanks to saliva and the tissues that make up the tongue , this is the part of the human body that heals the fastest .
We don ’ t recommend testing out this point at home , though !
8 .
The color of your tongue can tell you something about your health .
If your tongue is a light pink color , then congratulations !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Otherwise , it might mean you need to go to a doctor to get checked .
Colors might vary between different shades , and each one indicates something different .
If it is very red , you could have anything ranging from a minor infection to heart problems .
Yellow indicates stomach or liver problems , and white can indicate dehydration .
You can check out this article from Bright Side to find out what the color of your tongue can reveal about your current health .

Our tongue is an organ that we constantly use, but that we don’t pay much attention to. We use it for the most basic functions of human life, like eating and speaking, but there’s much more to it than we think. Your tongue actually has a lot of tricks under its sleeve (so to speak): for example, not many people know that it’s one of the most resilient and flexible organs in the human body.
We were surprised at how such a common organ, that we use every day, has so many surprises! So Bright Side wanted to share with you some curious facts about our tongue that you might not know and that caught our attention.
1. Your tongue never gets tired, unlike your other muscles.
Have you noticed that despite the fact that your tongue is a muscle, it never gets tired or sore? That is, of course, if you don’t suffer from any type of medical condition. Then, unlike the muscles of your legs or arms, which would hurt if you did a lot of physical activity, your tongue can handle constant movement because it’s actually made of 8 muscles. It is also extremely flexible because of that. Could that be why some of us never get tired of eating?
2. Every tongue is different.
Every single tongue is different and unique. Kind of like your fingers, your tongue has its own unique print, so it could be used as a method of identification. It might not be too pleasant, though. Can you imagine having to scan your tongue at the airport, instead of using your thumb?
3. Can you roll your tongue?
Scientists are still trying to find a logical explanation for the fact that a large percentage of human beings can roll their tongue to make a “u” shape, while a smaller percentage cannot. The main argument behind this suggests that it all comes down to genetics, but studies have been conducted where parents could not do it, and their children could. Other studies say that the language you speak might play a role too. We can’t tell for sure yet what having this great gift depends on, but you can give it a try and see if your friends can do it too. There’s something else — a small percentage of people can also do the “clover leaf tongue.” It’s one of the rarest options of shapes that your tongue can make!

Actually, snoring and sleep issues can be related to having a fat tongue!
5. Your tongue doesn’t really sense different tastes in different areas.
Due to a poor translation of a thesis, the most popular “taste map” of the tongue was actually misunderstood. What we know as the areas where the tongue perceives tastes, like sweetness at the tip and bitterness in the back, is just not a thing. German scientist David Hänig presented his doctoral thesis in 1901, in which he suggested that the tongue had more sensitive surface areas than others, but his work was misinterpreted by a graph he used to show those areas.

So Bright Side made a compilation of the weirdest objects out there that require a lot of creativity to be made, and mainly, a lot of courage to wear or use. Take a look and see if you agree!
1. This double sided car with top tires that spin too
2. This Van Gogh necklace (notice the ear on the right)
3. This relaxing staff room with a grass floor
4. These rainbow highlights
5. Not to mention this Minion-shaped oven
6. " I saw this and just had to share."
7. Best Christmas present ever, slippers shaped like your dogs
8. And how about this original wedding cake?
9. Or this strangely delightful coffee art
10. This book-dress
11. Or this reading chair that will kind of force you to read...
12. Or an unrecognizable Land Rover
13. Graffiti not made for the faint of heart
14. “Thought I’d challenge my skills in bread making. I present SpongeBob’s Pretty Patties!”
15. “Just went through my old shoe collection and realized I’ve always had an impeccable sense of style...”
16. This face mask
17. Just in case you were wondering who the owner of the luggage is
18. “Painting I found in a shop. Should have bought it.”
19. Sailor Moon?
20. Once you see this, you can’t unsee it...

How often we should wash our hair
I myself, wash my own hair every day. No matter how hard I try to find a shampoo that will keep my hair fresh, I have to put it in a ponytail on the second day after washing or use a dry shampoo. Many people think that if they wash their hair daily, it will get dirty faster. However, in reality, the skin on the head and hair suffer more from dirt at the hair roots, than from it frequently being washed. Skin oil, dirt, and dust that accumulate daily on the head, clog pores, which means hair gets fewer nutrients. You can try using deep cleansing shampoos for oily hair once a month. Men’s shampoos also help perfectly in these cases.
Why we lose more hair in the spring and fall
Let me clarify this from the beginning: cutting your hair won’t help (I have a couple of clients who visited me to shorten their hair, thinking they lose it due to gravity). As a rule, the seasonal loss of hair happens by itself. Our task is to not worsen the situation, but to try to decrease the loss with the help of the right treatment.

Why our hair gets tangled
It can happen due to incorrect care or bad habits. For example, I often roll my hair around my fingers and end up getting knots in my hair and split ends. However, the most frequent reason for tangled hair is its dryness. Hair consists of a core and a shell similar to a tile. When the top layer dries, the flakes that are tightly adjacent to each other open and cling to each other, forming knots. In order to prevent it, you need to do moisturizing masks more often and use special sprays that can be applied right after washing and on dry hair during the day. Thin hair is more prone to getting tangled. People with thin hair should be more careful about choosing their shampoo — it should carefully clean your hair and not over dry it.

Is hair Botox really that necessary?
Hair Botox is often mistaken with Keratin Straightening, but it’s a completely different procedure. Its effect is aimed at hair “restoration.” Why do I use quotation marks? Because you can’t restore your hair’s health with this method. You’ll only temporarily fill the damaged areas inside the hair, improve its look, and get rid of tangles. Even if you get hot hair Botox from a master, it’s likely that they will burn your hair. Some hairdressers mistakenly use the same temperature of a hair strengthener — both for natural hair and for weak blonde curls. Moreover, hair Botox gets rinsed out after a month or 2. The hair goes back to its initial look and the person has to go to the salon again. By the way, the average price for this procedure is about $50 — and you can buy a lot of high-quality hair care products for this amount of money and treat it well.
How water affects our hair and the skin on our head
If there a white coating inside your faucets and teapots, it means that the water you are using is hard. You actually get this same coating on your hair. Salts from calcium and magnesium gradually accumulate on your hair, and curls become lifeless and brittle. At the same time, dandruff, as well as an increased risk for eczema, may appear on your overdried scalp. Hard water is harmful to colored hair — it quickly washes out the color and even the brightest cold blonde will turn yellow really fast. Hair clogged with salts is worse for coloring too, it is more difficult to lighten it and give it a cool shade. How one can solve this issue: install a filter on the shower or tap
wash your hair with boiled water
use nourishing and moisturizing balms and hair masks
Why your shampoo keeps damaging your hair and how to replace it with a less aggressive one
When buying shampoo, many people pay attention to the “natural” composition, but few of us know what SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is. The constant use of sulfates can cause irritation, dryness, itchiness, the development of allergic reactions, and hair loss. These substances make our wonderful curls have less body because they perfectly remove not only contamination from the hair, but also the natural protective barrier of the skin. I often hear these words from my clients, “I use only sulfate shampoo and can’t start using a different one because I instantly get dandruff and itchiness.” This happens because the skin of your head has gotten used to aggressive components. Try using a deep-cleaning shampoo, wash your head with the new product several times, and everything will be OK. Here are the components that don’t harm your hair: Lauryl glucoside (coconut glucose product)
Decyl glucoside (made from corn starch and coconut oil)
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (made from coconut oil)
Sucrose laurate and sodium lauroyl sarcosinate
What hides behind sleeping with wet hair
Never ever go to bed with wet hair. Even if you are very tired, dry it a little at least. Otherwise, you won’t be able to style your hair in the morning or give it the necessary volume at the roots. Once your hair dries in a certain way while you sleep, there is nothing you will be able to change about it in the morning. Moreover, wet hair is the perfect environment for various bacteria and microorganisms. You might end up getting dandruff, itchiness, or other scalp issues. Pat your hair dry after washing, but don’t rub it and don’t wrap it — it is too sensitive and brittle for that. It’s better to start blow-drying your hair with cold air — because it’s less harmful. If you feel too tired and don’t want to do anything with your hair, you can use a special spray to help it dry quickly.
Busting myths about men’s alopecia
I would like to bust several myths about men’s balding heads and perhaps increase someone’s self-esteem. Myth # 1: Baldness can be cured with ointments, creams, and folk remedies. In reality, there are very few remedies that really work and they should only be prescribed by a doctor. These remedies are not used to make the bald areas grow hair again, they are used to stop hair loss.
In reality, there are very few remedies that really work and they should only be prescribed by a doctor. These remedies are not used to make the bald areas grow hair again, they are used to stop hair loss. Myth # 2 : A hair transplant will certainly help . There is no guarantee that this hair will stay with you forever. After some time, it can fall out anyway.
: . There is no guarantee that this hair will stay with you forever. After some time, it can fall out anyway. Myth # 3: You don’t need to watch your hairdo and spend money on haircuts. Bald men shave their heads once every 5-7 days. Those who have a perfectly bald head do it every 3 days or do a laser epilation. Apart from that, they have to use special products to moisturize the skin on their head. Now let’s talk about the advantages of having a bald head. This head visually makes a man bigger and more massive. That’s why many bodybuilders shave their heads or get short haircuts. In addition, a man with a bald head will always look stylish and this hairdo will go with any look.
Bonus: How I saved someone’s hair after a botched visit to another salon
My neighbor called me crying and asked me to come to her place to correct her color. I took my magical hairdresser’s supply kit and rushed to her. Turned out, she visited some beauty salon and asked them to do something called root stretching. (Root stretching is a technique we do to blend out the natural root color. We do this by painting on the color first as though we’re doing a normal root touch up, then we weave out sections of the hair like Balayage to “stretch” the root color around a quarter, or even halfway down the hair shaft.) I was taken aback when I saw what was done to her hair in the salon: her root area was lighter and then she had these red stains and dark ends. I made a decision to remove the stains, to give her hair a more natural shade, and to color the roots well. Yes, there is still a lot of work to be done, but at least we managed to get rid of the stains and she can leave the house now without being embarrassed. My client is happy, she loves everything.

False labor can start if you are tired and dehydrated and you might not have a period the entire time you are breastfeeding. It’s better to be prepared for these things in advance to avoid any stressful situations in the future and provide your baby with the best overall experience.
We at Bright Side hope that you have the most joyful time with motherhood and found answers for some crucial questions that medical specialists would like you to know about.
1. You may need to adjust things to get the most effective attachment when breastfeeding.
Medical experts strongly recommend breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months. Your baby should get only breast milk, and no water or juice. But adjusting your newborn’s latch also matters, so both of you can feel comfortable. Here are some recommendations: Your baby’s chin should firmly touch your breast.
Your baby’s mouth should be wide open.
You should see more dark skin above your baby’s top lip than below your baby’s bottom lip.
It shouldn’t hurt you when you breastfeed.
Your baby’s cheeks should stay rounded during sucking.
2. False labor can start when you’re tired, dehydrated, or on your feet too much.
Closer to the fourth month of pregnancy, you may start to notice some contracting and tightening of your uterus from time to time. They may come unpredictably and irregularly. These contractions are usually painless and concentrated in your abdomen. It can happen if you are tired or dehydrated, or even after long walks. What you should do: drink plenty of water
change your position
get some rest, preferably on your left side
3. Breast stimulation can speed up labor.
It’s recommended that women wait at least 39 weeks to deliver their baby. If you’re 40 weeks in, here is a natural way to induce labor, but only after talking to your doctor who is familiar with all aspects of your health and pregnancy. Stimulating your nipples can cause contractions in your uterus. This happens because of oxytocin production. It’s the same hormone that causes the breast to eject milk. You can manually stimulate your nipples, or you can try using a breast pump. The benefits of breast stimulation include: induce and augment labor
avoid a medical induction
reduce postpartum hemorrhaging
4. It’s best to let the baby set their own birth date.
Yes, the last weeks of pregnancy can be hard and a desire to deliver the baby right away is normal, but despite those feelings, doctors say that nature should set the time of birth and it’s better to wait a bit more. There are very few cases where labor induction should be allowed: You’re approaching 2 weeks beyond your due date.
Your water has broken, but labor hasn’t begun.
You have an infection in your uterus.
You have diabetes that developed during pregnancy.
You have high blood pressure disorders during pregnancy.
5. Pain is your friend as labor progresses.
Nature is smart and pain during labor plays an important role. It helps you progress by releasing hormones like oxytocin. And, as we already know, it helps with the contractions. When the contractions are painful, other hormones that help to manage the pain are released: these are called endorphins. But anxiety and a high level of stress can slow down the process. That is why it’s so important to feel protected and to not be afraid of the pain.
6. Oatmeal with fruit is a great meal for after the delivery.
Hemorrhoids are pretty common after labor. And the postpartum medication that the doctor might prescribe can make pooping even more difficult. But you can take care of this issue yourself. Start your day with oatmeal. It helps to move things along down there because it has a lot of fiber. You can also eat more chicken soup and apples.
7. The baby blues are different from postpartum depression.
First of all, you should understand that some feelings of being broken are normal after labor. But baby blues and postpartum depression are different things. Baby blues are feelings of moodiness and sadness that typically last around 2 weeks. Postpartum depression is a more serious thing. It occurs when symptoms last for more than 2 weeks. You may feel a sense of worthlessness and lose any interest in your daily activities. Postpartum depression requires medical treatment in comparison to baby blues, specialists say. And it’s also important to know that it can develop at any time after giving birth, even up to a year after delivery.
8. Your period may not return during the entire time you are breastfeeding.
Typically your period should return about 6 to 8 weeks after you have the baby, medical experts say. If you are breastfeeding, the return of your period can vary. It can be useful to know that women who breastfeed exclusively might not have a period the entire time they breastfeed. But for some, it might return even after a couple of months, whether they’re breastfeeding or not. You should also pay attention to the amount of bleeding you experience after having the baby. Heavy bleeding generally can last for up to 10 days after labor. And some light bleeding or spotting can continue for up to 4 to 6 weeks.

We at Bright Side support all initiatives that mean fewer animals will suffer and the world will be a better place, and this is exactly the type of cause we can get behind.
New, environmental-friendly method of creating leather
Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez have devised a method of transforming cactus into vegan leather called Desserto. It is made entirely out of cactus, and this leather can be used to make everything from shoes to wallets. The cactus is very resilient, and it can withstand low temperatures during winter without dying. According to their website, they select and cut only the mature leaves of the plant without damaging the cactus itself, and do a new harvest every 6 to 8 months.
Creating vegan leather is already a reality.
Up until now, the company has been able to utilize cactus leather in many ways, creating handbags, car seats, shoes, and even apparel. And since the material is completely organic, the leather is breathable, which has often proven to be a problem when it comes to synthetic alternatives. In the process of creating cactus leather, they cut the mature leaves and dry them under the sun for 3 days in order to achieve the exact humidity level needed. Then, they process the organic raw material to make the patented formula required to create vegan leather. Furthermore, another important environmentally-friendly fact is that cactus leather is partially biodegradable and contains zero plastic. The fact that it’s biodegradable makes this material even more valuable.
Cruelty-free, sustainable alternative to animal leather
Thanks to its durability and high resistance to low temperatures, this organic, sustainable product can replace the use of animal leather and other synthetic materials that are not environmentally-friendly. Currently, the brand is negotiating projects with major players in a variety of industries and working to make the material more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. So before you know it, you might just find yourself putting on a pair of cactus leather shoes.
There’s no harm done to the surrounding biodiversity.
They haven’t had to cut down any trees at the farms that supply the cactuses. In fact, they’ve done the opposite, as they plant a native cactus from the region, it actually helps the biodiversity of the area. Adrian and Maret’s methods cause no harm to the surrounding biodiversity. Their plantation is fully organic and their natural techniques stimulate the soil’s microflora and microfauna, which is then preserved without any damage caused whatsoever.

There are people whose moment of carelessness can, sometimes, lead to a disaster. Surgeons, subway train drivers, and truck drivers — they should all be concentrating as much as possible at work. But other people allow themselves to relax from time to time. For example, they forget to put on gloves when working with paint or to carefully read the recipe while cooking and end up with a completely different dish from the one they wanted. Although in most cases, these mistakes won’t lead to any serious consequences, sometimes even in ordinary life, absent-mindedness may come at a cost.
This compilation is about these moments. And we at Bright Side know that these situations are terribly bitter, but later, they could become the beginning of some great stories.

brightside--2020-07-02--15 Pets Whose Lives Changed Tremendously Thanks to a Loving Family

Animals , just like us , need to be given a second chance .
All they need is love and care from their fellow owners .
It ’ s so astonishing seeing the difference between the first day they were adopted compared to a year later .
Such progress makes us believe that in the end , friendship and love are all we need .

Not all animals are lucky enough to have owners and receive proper care. They have to overcome many hurdles until they find someone who will truly love them. And that’s what makes seeing the difference between the first day they were adopted compared to a year later so very precious. Thinking about such progress makes us believe that in the end, friendship and love are all we need.
For us at Bright Side, seeing animals living their best lives will always be enjoyable. By the time you’re finished reading this article, you’ll run to hug your pet and tell them how much you appreciate them.

If you need some professional tips on how to improve your beauty routine, Olga Lorencin is the one who can help you. She has spent over 20 years working in skin care and studying cosmetic ingredients. Celebrities like Halle Berry have entrusted her with their beauty routines and we can definitely see the results.
We at Bright Side keep track of great beauty trends and would love to share some secrets that Olga Lorencin revealed to us.
1. For oily skin
A good option for treating oily skin is a mask made with vitamin C serum. But after applying it, you should skip the massage because you’ll increase oil production. Lorencin suggests adding a little bit of charcoal to your at-home mask as well. Pay attention to what kind of moisturizer you use. Some of them may contain oil and you don’t need it for oily skin.
2. For sensitive skin
Sensitive skin needs calming and soothing ingredients. Lorencin says that products with herbal extracts like chamomile or oatmeal are excellent in this case because of their anti-inflammatory qualities. She suggests avoiding oils, except for rosehip and pomegranate oil. Both have desirable calming, healing, and hydrating effects. The expert notes that if you have sensitive skin, you shouldn’t be afraid of acids and exfoliation. When you get rid of dead skin, your face becomes less sensitive and more hydrated. The only thing is that the acids should be mild, milky, and creamy.
3. For dry and normal skin
The beauty guru explains that you should massage and apply masks to dry, normal skin. Start your at-home facial massage with coconut oil and apply it in a circular, upward motion. As a bonus, you can also add some high-quality vitamin C serum. Then, generously apply a dry-skin mask. Instead of applying it with a brush or “painting” it with the fingers, massage it into your skin. Then, apply one more layer and leave it on for an additional 15 minutes. It’s important not to let your mask dry out because it will draw moisture from the skin.
4. For combination skin
A moisturizer with oil can clog your pores. By applying it to combination skin you risk getting even greater oil production in some areas of your face. Look for an oil-free moisturizer that contains lactic acid which can improve your skin’s moisture and refine enlarged pores.
5. For your eyes and lips
Eyes and lips need special treatment because they have considerably more sensitive skin. Here is one of Olga Lorencin’s favorite recipes: 1 teaspoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon of egg yolk
A few drops of olive oil or coconut oil Just mix it together and apply it around the eyes in a circular motion above your lips. Leave it there for 15 minutes and then rinse your face.
6. For your clean face
Wipes can’t replace a facial cleanser. You can use them to remove lingering eye makeup while hydrating the skin. This is what Olga recommends to do: First, give your face a deep cleansing. Then moisturize with a wipe. You can press the moisturizing towelette into the skin. It creates more circulation. If you have a lot of makeup around your eyes, use the wipes to remove excess makeup.
7. For summertime
Lorencin doesn’t recommend using scrubs or brushes during summer months because the skin gets damaged from the extra sun exposure. Instead, she suggests trying this DIY exfoliation: Mix a teaspoon of lemon juice with egg yolk. Massage this mixture into your face for 2 minutes. Rinse your face. The acid in the lemon juice will gently exfoliate your skin so it doesn’t become damaged.
Here is a recipe for a gentle, soothing mask that can help you not to overload your skin during summer: Mix equal parts of manuka honey and full-fat plain yogurt. Lorencin adds that no fruit is needed. Apply it in a thick layer to your face. Wait for 20 minutes. This can restore your skin’s natural PH balance.
Bonus: Halle Berry says that face masks are everything.
Halle Berry loves facial masks and personally recommends Olga Lorencin since she’s a guru of skincare. The actress calls her masks “ageless.” We compared how the actress looked 28 years ago and now, so you can decide for yourself how effective Lorencin’s treatments are.
