It is totally natural that, from time to time, people doubt whether their relationship is what “it should be like.” Your family may be different from the family you grew up in and that’s also okay.
We at Bright Side have analyzed the signs of unorthodox relationships and found expert opinions on why many couples don’t follow the stereotypes and are still happy.

Leaving your makeup on overnight isn’t as harmless as it may seem. In addition to ruining your bedding, it can damage your looks. If you regularly go to bed with tons of product on, you may be exposing yourself to some serious risks.
We at Bright Side have also been guilty of falling asleep with makeup on, and we decided to find out how it can affect you. Also, don’t miss the bonus instruction at the end of the article.
1. It clogs your pores.
Many makeup products, especially those that contain silicones or acrylics, can block your pores. These ingredients seep into your pores and trap the bacteria and natural oils inside them. The combination of oil, sweat, bacteria, and dead skin cells may lead to clogged pores. It can happen even when you’re wearing makeup during the day, but leaving it on overnight increases these chances.
2. It causes breakouts.
When you don’t remove your makeup before going to bed, your skin gets less oxygen. Irritating chemicals in makeup are also staying in contact with your skin for longer. If your skin doesn’t get a break at night from makeup, harmful chemicals and a lack of oxygen may eventually lead to pimples and acne.
3. It may lead to premature aging.
Artificial colors and other ingredients in makeup can cause damaging chemical reactions and speed up the aging of the skin. Our skin acts as a protective barrier to our environment, and if we don’t help it ‘reset’ at night, its defenses weaken and unwanted changes to our gene patterns may occur. Makeup can allow free radicals, that we are exposed to during the day, ’stick’ to our skin.
4. It may cause eye infections and damage your lashes.
Optometrists warn us that many eye makeup products contain formaldehyde, heavy metals, and other toxins. Sleeping with toxins on your skin can lead to irritation and even cause your lashes to fall out early. If you don’t remove your mascara regularly, it can result in inflammation of the eye and conjunctivitis, according to a case study.
5. Your lips become chapped.
When you wear lipstick during the day, it usually doesn’t stay on perfectly all the time because eating and drinking make it wear off quickly. But when you sleep, lipstick has enough time to absorb the moisture from your lips. If you don’t wipe your lipstick off before going to sleep, chances are you will wake up with dry and chapped lips.
6. It may lead to greasy hair and skin.
When you go to bed with your makeup on, it can leave stains on your bedding and get on your hair and skin. Your hair can get coating of lip-gloss or lipstick throughout the night and become greasy and tangled. Properly removing your makeup before going to sleep is especially important for those with oily skin, as it can make the condition worse.
7. Your skin becomes dull.
Leaving your makeup on overnight can make your skin look lifeless because the product sits on your skin for a long time. Environmental pollution and other toxins get stuck in your makeup, and if you don’t give your skin a break at night from decorative cosmetics, it could lead to more dullness and fine lines.
Bonus: What to do if you fell asleep with your makeup on?
Take off your eye makeup using a makeup remover that is fragrance free and contains soothing agents to calm skin.
Use eye drops to soothe your eyes.
Opt for a very gentle scrub or cleansing oil to completely remove makeup, and follow with the rest of your normal skincare routine.
Help your lips recover by using an ultra-rich balm for the next 24 hours.

Throughout history, people have chewed everything: from resin and paraffin wax to Orbit. For example, 5,000 years ago people used to chew pieces of birch bark tar. Tar has antiseptic properties and other medicinal effects, the same as modern chewing gum. Obviously, there’s more to this habit than fresh breath or an offbeat distraction. A lot more, it turns out.
Bright Side untangled some myths from reality regarding the effect gum-chewing can have on your body and is happy to share the results.
1. It affects your teeth.
Good : Sugar-free gum is an efficient bacteria-killer, which can give toothpaste a run for its money. It protects your teeth from decay and gingivitis by triggering extra saliva that washes away acids and food leftovers. It also strengthens enamel by applying additional calcium and phosphate.
: Sugar-free gum is an efficient bacteria-killer, which can give toothpaste a run for its money. It protects your teeth from decay and gingivitis by triggering extra saliva that washes away acids and food leftovers. It also strengthens enamel by applying additional calcium and phosphate. Bad: But if your gum contains sugar, it has a negative impact on dental health. Bacteria that live in your oral cavity, digests the sugar before it reaches your stomach, resulting in plaque buildup on your teeth. It also increases tooth decay over time.
2. It improves memory.
Nibbling on gum increases your heart rate, blood flow, and oxygen delivery to the brain. One of the positive effects of it is the cognitive boost we experience: it improves alertness, thought processing, decision making, and memory. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work long-term — it only works if you chew before or during particularly challenging tasks.
3. It aids in weight loss.
Good : Gum can sometimes suppress our appetite. After chewing gum in the morning, people tend to feel less hungry. It’s both sweet and low in calories, so it might aid you in cutting back on snacks. It also increases energy spending, pumps up your metabolism, and makes you feel less weary after eating.
: Gum can sometimes suppress our appetite. After chewing gum in the morning, people tend to feel less hungry. It’s both sweet and low in calories, so it might aid you in cutting back on snacks. It also increases energy spending, pumps up your metabolism, and makes you feel less weary after eating. Bad: But gum’s reputation as a diet aid can backfire in a bad way. The chewing motion and constant saliva tricks your brain into thinking you’re actually hungry. And mint gum pushes you to reach for junk food, rather than healthier options like fruit since it makes them taste horrible. Gum-chewers also tend to eat fewer meals per day, but load up on calories when they do eat.
4. It causes jaw problems.
Constant chewing can lead to a disorder that affects the jaw joints and muscles around it. Any jaw movement — eating, laughing, or even speaking — is accompanied by severe pain that sometimes spread to the neck and shoulders. The risk is especially high if you chew in moments of stress, as people tend to clench their teeth unconsciously when they’re nervous.
5. It influences the digestive system.
Good : Extra saliva production when chewing gum effectively helps against morning and motion sickness. Some say it works better than medicine, reducing the chances of vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and nausea just as fast, while being considerably cheaper and more easily available.
: Extra saliva production when chewing gum effectively helps against morning and motion sickness. Some say it works better than medicine, reducing the chances of vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and nausea just as fast, while being considerably cheaper and more easily available. Bad: But woe to you if you have a sensitive stomach or indigestion. When you chew, you always swallow tiny sips of air and fill your stomach with gas that can lead to bloating. The sugar alcohols often used as sweeteners act as a purgative, causing cramping, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
6. It reduces heartburn.
Following up a meal with chewing gum can lower the acid levels in your esophagus. Saliva flow dilutes and neutralizes acid after heavy food. This may help reduce acid reflux and heartburn.
7. It impacts your brain.
Good : Surprisingly, gum-chewing possesses anti-stress, mood-improving superpowers. Munching this stuff reduces your levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and the simple act of chewing is relaxing for most people. It dispels anxiety and fatigue and elevates our mood throughout the day.

Munching this stuff reduces your levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and the simple act of chewing is relaxing for most people. It dispels anxiety and fatigue and elevates our mood throughout the day. Bad: But the constant pressure on our jaw increases the amount and frequency of migraines and tension headaches. In the worst case, it can lead to chronic headaches. So, if you already have a predisposition toward migraines, it’s better to avoid gum altogether.
8. It prevents ear infections.
Ear infections appear when bacteria gather in the tubes connecting the nose and ears. It often affects children. Chewing gum that contains the natural sweetener xylitol helps to prevent bacteria from settling there.

Bright Side is always there to have your back, in any situation. Here, we are ready to alert you about things you might’ve been doing wrong in your kitchen for years. Let’s see how we can improve the situation!
1. Using paper towels to wipe every surface
It turns out that paper towels are not suitable for wiping every surface, like for example, glass or varnished wooden kitchen counters and tables. Paper towels can be abrasive, so there is a risk that they could leave scratches on these delicate surfaces. Instead, you can use a soft cloth that won’t damage anything.
2. Neglecting the way you store your knives
One common mistake that many of us make is putting all the knives together in the same drawer. Their blades are not protected there from constantly clashing with each other as the drawer is opened and closed over and over again. It will lead to their early damage. Instead, you can consider storing your knives in a knife block or covering each blade with something that can prevent any harm to them.
3. Using vinegar to clean everything
You should avoid rubbing things like granite and marble countertops, stone floor tiles, metal surfaces, or hardwood floors with vinegar. This liquid is highly acidic and will wear down these surfaces way faster than normal. Meanwhile, it is safe to clean your microwave, dishwasher, fridge, sink, and faucets with it.
4. Mixing hot products in the blender
Hot liquids or foods in a blender cup with a closed lid can be dangerous. The liquid can expand and the warmth of the products will create steam, leading to a lot of pressure inside the cup. At one point, everything could explode all over your kitchen, causing damage not only to the kitchen itself, but leaving burns on you too.
5. Washing meat before cooking it
This one directly affects your health. Giving your meat a good wash won’t kill any bacteria that might be on top of it. Instead, you will wash it off and promote its spread somewhere else. For example, on your sink, counters, tables, etc. This increases your risk of getting sick. The heat from your pan or oven is more than enough to get rid of any bacteria.
6. Cooking certain types of foods in a non-stick pan
It’s better to avoid preparing foods like tomatoes or citrus in non-stick pans. The reason is that they are highly acidic and when they come into contact with the pan’s surface, they damage it. Ultimately, they just make your non-stick pans wear off faster. You can use a different pan instead, or a suitable pot.
7. Using glass cutting boards
The surface of this cutting board is so dense and heavy, that when a knife hits it, it will get dull in no time. You should always opt for something that will be more gentle on your knives. There are many different options available on the market. For example, a good wooden cutting board or even plastic will allow your tools to last longer.
8. Putting potato peels into the garbage disposal
This way you risk clogging your garbage disposal. Peels contain a lot of starch that can clump and turn into a thick pulp that can block everything. On that note, artichoke leaves and carrot peels should not be thrown away in there either, because they have tough fibers and can clog and damage the disposal blades. It’s better to collect everything and simply throw it away in the garbage can.
9. Using bleach to clean kitchen furniture
Always keep in mind that if the cabinets in your kitchen are painted or varnished, cleaning should be handled with care. Bleach is a rather aggressive liquid and by using it this way, you risk damaging the surface. You can try to use a mild soap with a soft cloth and warm water instead.
10. Putting wooden utensils in the dishwasher
There are several wooden things that are dishwasher safe, but most of them aren’t. For example, you should avoid washing your wooden spoons, dishes, or cutting boards in there. During the process, the water reaches extremely hot temperatures. This can destroy the material and cause cracks, warps, and discoloration.

He can turn even the darkest brunette hair into a radiant rainbow, and his message is all about helping people express themselves.
We at Bright Side would like to show you the hairstyles by Mykey that seem to have absorbed all their colors right from the rainbow.
A passion for color has been with Mykey since high school.
The idea of expressing emotions through color came to Mykey when he was a student. As he said, because of his way of expressing himself and being “different”, he was always one step away from being punched in the face by his peers. One day he realized that being himself was an absolute right that no one could violate, and so began his romance with color.
He spent plenty of time learning all things about hair dye and technique.
Mykey has never done any professional workshops or classes to learn how to apply rainbow hair color. He took his inspiration from artists on Instagram and educated himself through trial and error, until he became a real guru of the rainbow hair technique.
He names his techniques.
Each of Mykey’s techniques has its own story. One of them is called “Trash Panda,” because the hair looks just like a raccoon’s tail. Another one is called “Rainbow Baby,” and this name came to Mykey after his very first hair show in Bologna, where he did his first rainbow hairstyle ever.

Some of his clients have told him that people on the street ask them if they can take a photo of their lovely hairstyles, and it makes people feel just like celebrities.
This stylist has a special message for everyone who has gotten to know him.
Mykey never gets tired of telling people that beauty is not perfectionism or a filter on Instagram. He is convinced that being beautiful is being exactly who you are and being unapologetic for it. “Whether other people love it or not, it’s not up to them how you express yourself,” says Mykey.

Buying a house or apartment is a really responsible life step. Every buyer wants to make sure they know all about possible defects in advance, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Sometimes new buyers find surprises left by the previous owners, both pleasant and not so pleasant.
At Bright Side, we enjoyed looking through 18 photos of people who just moved into a new house and discovered something really unexpected.
1. “My mom is a realtor. She went to show an empty house and found that the previous owners had left something behind. After checking with the listing agent and finding out that the person who had loved her was deceased, she went back and brought her home.”
2. “I just bought my first house, didn’t test the taps when I was viewing it of course. All the taps in the house do this.”
3. “We recently bought a house and the previous owners left us a huge book collection. I want to keep some, but have no idea what to choose.”
4. “This is our new house. The previous owners left this behind the basement bathroom curtain!”
5. “The previous owners of our house had a hole cut in the basement door for cats. Our dog Bernard makes use of it daily. His tail is always a good sign as to whether someone is coming up the stairs.”
6. “The previous owners of our house left behind flowerbeds full of mulch and a bunch of unused pavers, so we covered up the side of the house that was all dirt and always muddy.”
7. “The house I’m staying in kept its original well as a feature...”
8. “I found a newspaper in the crawlspace of our new house today, dated October 2, 1902.”

One woman shares that when her husband decided to move away, she needed to tell her kids and the whole world that they were divorcing. It was a feeling of devastation. But time passed and she learned a bunch of interesting things about herself and her life.
We at Bright Side support everyone who has had difficult times and would like to highlight some lessons that women learned after their divorce.
1. Your life gets easier after a divorce.
Yes, there can be moments when you’re terrified and hopeless. One blogger shares, that from everything she heard, there was a feeling that this grief would last forever. But it wasn’t like that after all. On the contrary: “There is also a new silver lining, one that’s filled me with hope, joy, and an overwhelming amount of gratitude.” She was finally able to be herself and understand what she actually wanted from life. Basically, divorce is a new page and you become a completely different person step-by-step. You lose yourself, to find yourself and understand later that your marriage was toxic. She found out that cleaning would only take an hour or even less, and she had more time for hobbies, to relax, or to do something that felt good.
2. You understand that life gets better for your children.
The blogger says that before the divorce she was constantly worried and wondered if her children would be okay without her around all the time. But it turned out that these worries were groundless. Now she’s been able to watch them grow and get stronger on their own. They became much braver and take responsibility. The “new normal” reality happened and they explored it.
3. You understand that crying is not weakness.
Another woman shared her story, saying that it was Christmas and they were decorating a Christmas tree with the kids. And she cried with all of her children. Then they had a group hug, talked about their true feelings, and set new traditions. Crying doesn’t make you weak. It’s a normal thing to brace yourself for. You need to accept yourself and that means you need to accept your emotions. It’s okay for children to understand that their mother is not a robot.
4. You can see guilt as the hardest thing to let go of.
For this blogger, the hardest thing was accepting that life wouldn’t be the same anymore and that the plans you had to grow old together wouldn’t happen. They even felt much happier with the new arrangement after the divorce. Still, the feeling of guilt was a difficult thing to let go of. This blogger advises that you stop blaming yourself because this sucks energy. Women are capable of everything and they can handle it all. Just let go of the past.
5. You shouldn’t settle on the perfect relationship in your head.
One more woman confessed that after her divorce and some time in therapy, she realized that her marriage wasn’t something that she and her ex-husband both wanted. They just settled on a certain plan to buy a house, get married, and have kids. She was doing what she was supposed to do. Working on the “ideal” relationship made her forget what she wanted to achieve actually: “Settling was toxic for our marriage.”
6. You shouldn’t wait for the better times.
Waiting and hoping are great things, but they’re not enough. Don’t waste a good life, just get rid of the bad. This girl advises not delaying, because it took her 2 years after her divorce to start doing something. Now she understands and wishes she had done it earlier.
7. You should choose solitude, but not loneliness.
Enjoying your own company is important. Yes, it’s difficult to adjust to a new life after living with another person for a long time, but there is a good cure for loneliness, and it’s called solitude. This blogger says that the solution for her wasn’t jumping into another relationship, but she started to work on herself and to analyze why she feels lonely without another person. Becoming comfortable with yourself is a huge and positive change.
8. You will get freedom.
As one woman admits “Life after divorce for me has only improved. For the first time in my life, I felt free. I was totally on my own and the minute I could, I started living alone. On the emotional front, I have become much more grounded, authentic, free, expressive, and healthy. I am much happier.”
9. And you can celebrate it.
Just do as Mauritanian women do. They celebrate their divorce. They arrange parties and dinners and make ululating cries of joy. So why not to gather your girls and boost your emotional state?
