The fear of change each one of us faces from time to time is called Metathesiophobia .

The fear of change each one of us faces from time to time is called Metathesiophobia. Indeed, change is always uncertain, unpredictable, and therefore, frightening. Even though sometimes people are afraid to accept the changes life throws at us, we believe that change always leads to something good.
We at Bright Side collected photos of people, things, and events that can remind you that change is inevitable, and it often makes our lives better in the end.

A study showed that it’s possible to find out a lot about someone’s personality, status, age, and income just from looking at a photo of their shoes. In this context, the phrase, “Always dress for success” gets another, very practical meaning.
We at Bright Side have discovered that lots of research has been done on how our clothes can affect our productivity.
1. Non-ordinary clothes make you look more competent.
People that wear clothes that may be considered inappropriate for what they’re doing may actually have a better image and can be seen as specialists in their line of work. Researchers called this “the red sneakers effect.” It was based on their findings that uncovered the fact that students considered a professor who wore red Converse sneakers while giving a lecture to be more competent.
2. Certain styles boost your creative thinking.
Dressing formally, as a study found, increases our abstract thinking. This is explained by the fact that professional clothes create certain social distancing. And when people are more socially distant, they tend to think in more distant terms and find more creative solutions.
3. Your individual style helps to present yourself properly.
You shouldn’t try to fit into a stereotypical image of what your clothes should look like in the eyes of your employers. Instead, you should dress in a way you feel will present yourself in the best possible light. Because, as specialists say, personality matters to employers more than you think.
4. Appropriate clothing makes you feel more attentive.
Wearing thematic clothing can have a positive effect on our cognition, especially focus. In the experiment, people who wore a lab coat made way fewer mistakes while doing tasks that required attention, and the researchers explain this by both the symbolic meaning and the physical experience of wearing such clothes.
5. Your clothes can say something about your goals.
People process visual details without thinking much about it through a process called thin-slicing. Our brain basically makes judgments in milliseconds, and we develop impressions on different things. So, as our clothes make up the most part of our visual presentation, we should carefully choose them to show what goals we want to reach. For example, as specialists say, rolling up your sleeves will speak on your determination to get things done, or wearing informal clothes at fancy events will show that you want to make social connections.

Unlike most beauty pageants, where outfit choices are often narrowed down to evening gowns, Miss Mexico is nothing short of a wonder. Contestants rock it in elaborate dresses, makeup, and headwear that draw inspiration from traditional Mexican clothing, history, and culture. Some costumes reference Day of the Dead while others feature ragdolls or “Marías” and even pay tribute to ancient Incan and Mayan ancestry.
We at Bright Side were in awe of this year’s participants and wanted to share the most stunning outfits with you.

Children tend to grow outrageously fast. And before you know it, your baby will become a charming young lady who no longer carries around a schoolbag. Now, she has a suitcase in her hands and she’s standing on the verge of adulthood. At such moments, we often regret that we didn’t have time to explain some important things to our children.
We at Bright Side thought about what words we would’ve liked to hear from our parents in childhood, and we wrote them down in our quotation book, decorating them with touching illustrations.
Mistakes are a rewarding experience that no one can avoid on the road to happiness. Don’t give up, but think about them, draw conclusions, and keep moving toward your goal.
Perfect people don’t exist. Everyone doesn’t know how to do something and fails sometimes. The secret to success is simple — rise more often than you fall.
Respect yourself. Other people’s opinions shouldn’t influence you. Be able to listen to yourself and independently determine your strengths and weaknesses on which you’re going to work.
Your first love won’t necessarily last your whole life. People grow up and may go separate ways. You should learn a lesson from unsuccessful relationships but never lose faith in love.
Kindness works wonders. Give your bully a compliment from the bottom of your heart and you’ll see that nasty guy turn into a boy with a good soul.
Help when you have extra but don’t give the last thing you have. 99% of people won’t appreciate it. Don’t do good for just anyone.
If you want to get to know the guy better, see how he treats animals. A person with a kind heart will never offend a little creature who can’t fight back.
Don’t lose yourself trying to make things comfortable for others. Life is a journey where only you decide whether you want to reshape yourself to fit into the standards to please everyone or live for your own pleasure.
Trust yourself. When your confidence in yourself weakens, stop and listen to your heart. No one knows better than you what’s right for you.
Don’t rush to sell your only apartment so that you and your husband can buy a bigger one. Always have a backup place where you can go if your spouse turns out to be less than a prince.
Things will only make you happy for a short time. Experiences are more valuable than things. It doesn’t matter how much your phone costs when you walk around Manhattan.
Many school friends will disappear from your life immediately after graduation. If you’re lucky to stay friends with at least one of them, take care of this treasure.

Cabinetry that is unfinished at the bottom

In the past, kitchens were just a utilitarian place, separate from all of the other rooms in the house. In kitchens, people only cooked food, and then they ate their meals in their dining rooms or bedrooms. But now, things are different: in the kitchen, we cook our meals, we eat them, we talk to our family and friends, and we even work. It’s a very important room in the house that deserves to be well-decorated.
We at Bright Side got tired of looking at other people’s homes online and wanted to make our own places attractive. Sometimes, we just need to get rid of some of the little things that make the place look messy and ruin all the coziness we’re trying to create.
1. Food out in the open
It’s really convenient when you don’t need to go to the basement to get some potatoes or onions, but storing them right in the middle of the kitchen is not a good idea. This way, we make the place look messy and we might actually spoil the food. Potatoes go bad very fast at room temperature and under direct sunlight, they lose some of their good qualities. It’s better to store any food where people can’t see it.
2. “Naked” window
The right curtains can transform the look of any room, and the kitchen is no exception. But regular long curtains are not a good idea — they will absorb the smells, get dirty, and look terrible. It’s better to use those in the dining room, but the places where you make food look better with Roman curtains or blinds. They look perfect, they are easy to clean, and they don’t look like an office. Don’t buy the models made of cotton, linen, silk, or other materials that can’t stand moisture and easily lose their color.
3. Windowsill garden
Many people grow onions and other things in their kitchens. There’s nothing wrong with that, but many people have them in plastic containers that don’t make the place look nice at all. Why not buy some better-looking reservoirs? You can plant onions in a nice pot with soil or a decorative reservoir with water and pebbles.
4. Different and old-looking cutting boards
In the kitchen, you should have 2 cutting boards — one for meat and one for vegetables. It’s recommended to replace them right after you start to see some damage on them. It’s not only healthy, but also attractive because cutting boards with dents, cuts, and dirt look ugly. What really makes the place cozy are good-quality wooden boards. More than that, they don’t break your knives like boards made of glass and metal do and they are way more durable than the popular bamboo.
5. Tons of stuff on the microwave oven
This mess not only makes the place look bad, but also negatively affects the device itself. All this stuff may prevent the door from closing the way it should and block the ventilation holes, which means the air in the oven won’t circulate properly. If you like to store stuff there, buy a special cover with pockets.
6. Old or mismatched sugar and spice bowls
Spices should be kept in reservoirs that are firmly closed, and old boxes and jars are not the right places. They don’t look good either. You don’t need any really expensive sets — cheap ones can also look great. For example, you can put the spices into glass flasks and put them into a wooden box. Or you can put them into jars with bright labels and arrange them on a magnetic board. Sugar bowls should be made of porcelain or stainless steel which are both durable and good-looking.
7. Really old kitchen towels
Cheap towels shed their threads and get so crumpled after washing that they are impossible to iron. Choose good-quality fabrics, ideally, cotton or microfiber. The color can be anything that you want — from classic white to contrasting geometric prints. What matters is how the towel looks in the kitchen’s overall interior design.
8. Dish soap
The bottles themselves are okay, but they don’t contribute to making the kitchen look cozy. You can buy special bottles that look way better than regular bottles. Also, you could hide the dish soap under the sink where nobody can see it.
9. Used teabags left near the sink
Some people leave wet tea bags on their kitchen surfaces. This is not attractive at all, and it’s better to buy a ceramic plate for this.
10. Plastic containers from different sets
Some kinds of plastic contain chemicals that may be dangerous for your health (for example, potentially dangerous bisphenol A). Besides, plastic containers are not durable: they are easily scratched, their surfaces become dark, and they deform at high temperatures. Also, piles of containers on the countertops don’t make the kitchen look any better. Instead, you can buy glass containers to store food.
11. Messy sponges and cloths
You can’t avoid using them, but you can at least make them look neat. There are sponge holders that are really cheap, but they instantly transform the entire look of your sink area. If you have a deep sink, you can hide the holder — there are models that can be attached to the inside wall of the sink.
12. Duplicate kitchen utensils
We often buy new kitchen utensils and forget to throw the old ones away. Or we think that we will definitely use 2 wooden spoons and the half dozen spatulas that we have sitting in a coffee cup on the counter. It’s better to remove the duplicates — once you do this, the whole place will shine. When you are cleaning up, ask yourself, “Do I use this thing?” or “Does it make my life any simpler?” If the answer is no, throw it away. It’s also good to check all the drawers and get rid of all the things you don’t use.
13. Bread baskets
Baskets look appropriate in many interiors, but let’s face it: bread goes bad much faster when it’s open and every time you move the basket, crumbs get all over the place. A good bread box is both practical and looks good. Besides, there are models with a drawer that can be used to collect all the crumbs.
14. Old oven mitts
Oven mitts have hard lives: they are burned and covered in stains that are almost impossible to remove. Silicone tools are way better. Besides, they come in many different colors, they are easy to wash, and they are pretty durable. We recommend the models with an inside lining — they are better for high temperatures and they are nice to touch.
15. People’s bowls and plates for pets
Having “human” bowls all over the floor looks weird. Besides, our pets love taking the food out of the bowl and playing with it. We think that every cat and dog should have their own personal bowls that make it hard to play with the food inside. You can also buy special non-slip mats to prevent the bowls from turning over.
16. Cabinetry that is unfinished at the bottom
A lot of dirt and dust piles up under the legs of this kitchen furniture. And obviously, if you can see this, it will look as if you’ve never cleaned the kitchen. You can solve the problem by installing a baseboard under the cabinetry. You can order this plank from a hardware store or make it yourself. Also, if you have enough space, you could install a drawer there.
17. Small but noticeable flaws
Even small things like old light bulbs or a ripped piece of wallpaper affect the look and the atmosphere of the room. The author of this article had their kitchen’s countertop trim unfinished in the corners and the flaws were really annoying. It seems like a small thing, but it looks terrible. To get rid of the problem, you just need a glue gun and 5 minutes of free time.

We know that before Meghan Markle became a member of the royal family, she was an actress. But there are more humble royals who have some down-to-earth jobs and show the whole world that work (and not a royal title) is what gives someone dignity.
We at Bright Side think that each job is important and we would like to show you 8 royals who share the same philosophy.
1. Princess Sofia of Sweden works in a hospital.
Princess Sofia has a great personality. She studied accounting and specialized in business development. But aside from this, she is a certified yoga instructor and even worked as one in New York. Not long ago, Sofia decided to contribute as a volunteer to “relieve the large workload of health care professionals.”
She has completed the 3-day emergency online training course to help a Stockholm hospital, which has been overwhelmed. She supports doctors and nurses through working kitchen shifts, cleaning, and disinfecting instruments.
2. Prince William is an ambulance pilot.
Prince Willian decided to have a military career and officially received his commission as a lieutenant. But it was a dangerous job for a member of the royal family and so he went on to train with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. After his Air Force service in 2014, William accepted a full-time role as an ambulance pilot. His position was paid, but he donated his salary to a charity.
3. Princess Charlene of Monaco is a professional swimmer.
Princess Charlene was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and began her swimming career in 1996, in the South African Championship. She also represented South Africa at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, but after 7 years she retired from competitive swimming because of a shoulder injury. Now the princess takes meetings with Paralympic athletes and visits rehabilitation centers for children with hearing loss.
4. Princess Charlotte of Hanover is a published writer.
Charlotte Casiraghi is not just a beautiful woman but she is smart and likes to have her own contribution to society. The princess is a published writer and magazine editor. Also, she was the editor-at-large for Above magazine in 2009. Later with 2 friends, she left this role to focus on the founding of ecological and fashion-related projects. In 2009, Charlotte announced that she plans to publish 3,000 copies of her Ever Manifesto which reveals how the fashion industry has a harmful impact on the global environment.
5. Princess Mary of Denmark is an account manager and a teacher.
Princess Mary has excellent genes. Her father was an academic and mathematics professor, so it is no wonder that she got the same talent. In 1998, 6 months after her mother’s death, she resigned from a position of account manager and traveled to America and Europe and in the first half of 2002, Mary taught English at a business school in Paris. After her moving to Denmark she was employed as a project consultant for a business development, communications, and marketing company.
6. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is a pilot.
When King Willem-Alexander was young, he did his military service in the Royal Netherlands Navy and later became a lieutenant. But aside from this, he has another true interest. Willem-Alexander is a pilot and he confessed that if he had not been a royal, he would have liked to be an airline pilot so he could fly internationally on large-sized aircraft. There is an interesting fact about him. He works as a “guest pilot” for a commercial airline. He’s been flying under the radar for many years and passengers have rarely recognized him, the king says.
7. Prince Nikolai of Denmark is a model.
Prince Nikolai of Denmark is a member of the Danish royal family and he is 21 years old. Nikolai found what he likes to do and, in 2018, he started working as a fashion model. He made his debut at London Fashion Week. After that, he became fashion’s golden boy and opened the recent Dior Homme 2020 show.
8. Prince Joachim of Belgium is a Navy officer.
10 years ago Prince Joachim of Belgium did a voluntary army training course. Later, he finished his education at the Nautical School in Bruges to become an officer in the Belgian Navy instead of leading an idle life. This uniform definitely suits him.


brightside--2020-11-22--Why Switching to All-Natural Beauty Products Can Do More Harm Than Good

The word “ organic ” definitely sounds more appealing than something artificially manufactured , but it ’ s all an illusion .
For example , not long ago there was a mass hysteria surrounding food containing GMOs ( genetically-modified organisms ) .
People were urged to switch to organic produce and eat clean , but so far it ’ s been proven that GMOs have no negative impact on us if we consume them .
Today , we ’ re going to prove the same thing , but with “ natural ” skincare .
If you ’ ve been wondering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ products for organic skincare , we at Bright Side discovered what exactly is hiding behind these choices .
Let ’ s start with basics : if you see the word “ natural ” on the label , it doesn ’ t mean it ’ s chemical-free , and the word “ chemical ” sounds unnecessarily threatening .
Water is a chemical too , you know .
In addition , dermatologists explain that “ natural ” products aren ’ t as well researched as the properly regulated ones .
Bottom line is , start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of trusting what the front label says .
Now , while this point might not be a deal-breaker for some , you still need to be mindful of when your natural product expires , especially if you ’ ve made it yourself .
Organic ingredients last , on average , 3 months , so restocking is going to be your priority .
Do not use natural products past their expiration date as they can grow mold and yeast , especially if they contain water .
When ingredients are formulated in a lab @ @ @ @ @ @ @ synthetic or natural , they ’ re manipulated in a way that retains only their best properties and that filters out the rest .
Let ’ s take a look at aloe vera , a very popular soothing ingredient in many creams that do , in fact , work .

Where do you stand on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever had a bad experience with organic products ?

The word “organic” definitely sounds more appealing than something artificially manufactured, but it’s all an illusion. For example, not long ago there was a mass hysteria surrounding food containing GMOs (genetically-modified organisms). People were urged to switch to organic produce and eat clean, but so far it’s been proven that GMOs have no negative impact on us if we consume them. Today, we’re going to prove the same thing, but with “natural” skincare.
If you’ve been wondering whether you should swap your mass-market beauty products for organic skincare, we at Bright Side discovered what exactly is hiding behind these choices.
“Chemical-free” is false advertising.
Let’s start with basics: if you see the word “natural” on the label, it doesn’t mean it’s chemical-free, and the word “chemical” sounds unnecessarily threatening. Water is a chemical too, you know. In addition, dermatologists explain that “natural” products aren’t as well researched as the properly regulated ones. Bottom line is, start reading the ingredient list on the back instead of trusting what the front label says.
All-natural products have a very short shelf-life.
Now, while this point might not be a deal-breaker for some, you still need to be mindful of when your natural product expires, especially if you’ve made it yourself. Organic ingredients last, on average, 3 months, so restocking is going to be your priority. Do not use natural products past their expiration date as they can grow mold and yeast, especially if they contain water.
Unprocessed natural ingredients can be extremely harmful.
When ingredients are formulated in a lab, regardless of whether they’re synthetic or natural, they’re manipulated in a way that retains only their best properties and that filters out the rest. Let’s take a look at aloe vera, a very popular soothing ingredient in many creams that do, in fact, work. However, raw aloe vera juice contains carcinogens that might cause cancer. This is exactly why processed doesn’t necessarily mean bad.
Physical exfoliation is more damaging than chemical exfoliation.
Exfoliation is a very beneficial skin care treatment — it removes dead skin cells allowing for regeneration and an overall fresh-looking face. Obviously, when using natural exfoliants you can only go the physical route, which is much harsher on your skin. Sugar, which is one of the most popular ingredients in organic scrubs, has big molecules that scrape your skin leaving it with tiny scratches. Chemical exfoliants on the other hand, are surprisingly much more gentle and effective. Both methods of exfoliation have to be performed properly, so always consult a dermatologist first.
The allergy and hypersensitivity risk is too high.
Very often people who turn to natural skincare suffer from skin sensitivity and assume that their breakouts are a reaction to chemical ingredients. However, many things that we consider natural can cause allergies, like for example eucalyptus, rosemary, tea tree oil, and especially anything citrus-based. At the same time, some products that are formulated in the lab are much more stable, less acidic, and are made specifically for sensitive skin.
Not all parabens are scary.
“Parabens” are like the ultimate boogeyman word in skincare. However, parabens and preservatives are what keeps our products stable and helps our skin absorb them. There are no conclusive studies that they harm us, which is why they’re generally recognized as safe, as long as they make up less than 0.1% of the ingredients. In addition, parabens can naturally occur in fruits, like blueberries, strawberries, and olives.
Now you see why “all-natural” and “chemicals” are just words that conceal a completely different picture. Where do you stand on natural vs. formulated skincare? Have you ever had a bad experience with organic products?

When a book is adapted to the big screen, we can’t help but wonder what the movie will look like at the end, and most importantly, how much will it change? However, sometimes you might be in for a big surprise.
At Bright Side, we want to introduce you to 10 characters that changed a little bit in their film versions, from their appearance to their personality.
1. Tris Prior from Divergent
The protagonist of the Divergent saga should have her characteristic gray eyes. Moreover, most of the actors in this production were very different from the characters described in the books. Also, Tris lacked more strength and independence because she depended too much on Four, and it was not like that in the novels.
2. Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson & the Olympians
Annabeth Chase was the daughter of the Greek goddess Athena in the Percy Jackson saga. In the books, she was described as a blonde girl, with gray eyes, and an intense and analytical gaze, besides being extremely intelligent and a determined warrior, which went against the stereotypes associated with that hair color.
3. Jack Reacher
Tom Cruise played this character twice. However, he was not as suitable for the role, since according to fans, Jack Reacher needed another actor who was more imposing without losing the elegance of someone like James Bond. With the expectation of knowing who could play the enigmatic military investigator, a list of actors more suited for this role emerged and among them was Henry Cavill.
4. Bella Swan from Twilight
The protagonist of this saga should have been paler, with a round face, and straight hair with reddish highlights compared to Kristen Stewart’s waves. Surprisingly, actress Emily Browning was author Stephenie Meyer’s top choice for that role.
5. Jordan Baker from The Great Gatsby
This character from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is one of the most beloved for her personality. In this film, she is more sarcastic compared to the 1974 version. However, in the 2013 film, Jordan takes a back seat, and we don’t know much about her or about her closeness to Nick, the narrator both in the film production and in the book.
6. Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The genius chocolatier Willy Wonka had only 2 adaptations on the big screen. Still, Johnny Depp played a very different character from the one in the ’70s movie. According to the novel, Wonka was physically more similar to Gene Wilder’s version of the ’70s classic. However, Depp’s work became iconic for its eccentricity.
7. Edward Cullen from Twilight
The main vampire from the Twilight saga should have had auburn hair instead of brown. On top of that, the color of his eyes was constantly changing, something that wasn’t very evident in the movies. Before he became a vampire, he had green eyes, and when he transformed, they changed from gold to black (and at one time they were even red).
8. Tiger Lily from Peter Pan
Peter Pan is one of the most beautiful children’s stories, which we remember for its different adaptations, like the Disney movie. However, in Pan (2015) there was a rather controversial detail regarding the ethnic group of the natives from Neverland, especially with Tiger Lily, played by Rooney Mara. As in Disney’s version, in the original work, the natives of the island were very similar to the Native Americans, so the choice for Mara to play this role was not very accurate.
9. Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter
Unfortunately, Ginny did not have the same weight in the movies as she did in the books, since she was reduced to a love interest for Harry. She was described as intelligent, energetic, and eloquent, something we didn’t see much of in the films. Also, like a good Weasley, she should have been much more redheaded and freckled, just like her brothers.
10. Nick Fury from Marvel
Originally, Nick Fury was white, but in the comics from early 2011 he went through a radical change following the success of Samuel L. Jackson’s performance as the model. After that, not only did the actor continue to play the role, but in all subsequent comics and animated series, this character was based on his appearance and acting performance.

These bright, extravagant lizards live in Africa and can be found sunbathing on rocks in Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. The behavior of these lizards is also quite exotic. When a male lizard finds a partner, he’ll gladly demonstrate head bobs and head swings to win the heart of his beloved lady.

Photos taken before and after weight loss, changing one’s interior design, or, for example, taking care of a plant, are always impressive because they show big changes. They are like films that are immediately fast-forwarded to the most interesting moment.
At Bright Side, we love the photos that demonstrate not only noticeable transformations but also the work that was done to achieve the prominent results.

brightside--2020-11-23--Why We Shouldn’t Wear the Same Pajamas for 2 Days in a Row

The average man changes his pajamas every 13 nights .
Women typically wait for 17 nights to throw their pajamas in the laundry .
Most women have multiple pairs of pajamas and tend to forget how long they ’ ve been out for .
While crawling into bed in a well-worn set of pajamas might seem harmless , it can have some alarming consequences .
We at Bright Side were curious to find out how the habit of going to bed in your old pajamas could affect you .
Pajamas lie against your skin .
If you wear the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , bacteria and dead skin cells can start to collect in your clothing .
Even if you regularly wash your bedding , it won ’ t stay fresh for very long because it ’ s coming into direct contact with unwashed nightwear .

You could transfer the microbes onto other clothing .
When you put your pajamas in the washing machine , the bacteria on it can be passed to all the other linens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve worn your nightwear for 2 weeks in a row , washing won ’ t be able to get rid of most of the microbes and they ’ ll be transferred onto other clothes that come into contact with the skin .
3 .
It affects your quality of sleep .
Much like how freshly cleaned bed sheets can give you a sense of relaxation , sleeping in clean nightwear makes you feel refreshed .
Crawling into bed wearing sweaty pajamas may keep you up at night if you ’ re feeling itchy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allergies .
If you ’ re allergic to dust or have other respiratory disorders , sleeping in old pajamas may cause serious damage .
Dust mites eat dead skin flakes , so they ’ re attracted to your mattress and nightwear , causing breathing problems .
If you ’ re allergic to dust , it ’ s better to change your pajamas out at least every other night .
5 .
It may give you acne .
When you don ’ t change your nightwear , bacteria and dead skin cells build up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it gets pressed up against your pores , blocking them and causing breakouts .
When you sweat in your sleep , your pajamas absorb sweat , causing pimples .
7 .
It may weaken your immune system .
When you wear the same pajamas night after night , your immune system is constantly fighting against microbes , respiratory complications , and allergies .
All of those factors can weaken your body ’ s defenses , making it harder to protect you from viruses .

The average man changes his pajamas every 13 nights. Women typically wait for 17 nights to throw their pajamas in the laundry. Most women have multiple pairs of pajamas and tend to forget how long they’ve been out for. While crawling into bed in a well-worn set of pajamas might seem harmless, it can have some alarming consequences.
We at Bright Side were curious to find out how the habit of going to bed in your old pajamas could affect you.
1. You’re sleeping in an unhealthy environment.
Pajamas lie against your skin. If you wear the same piece of fabric over and over again, bacteria and dead skin cells can start to collect in your clothing. Even if you regularly wash your bedding, it won’t stay fresh for very long because it’s coming into direct contact with unwashed nightwear. Wearing the same pajamas night after night may cause infections that can be hard to treat.
2. You could transfer the microbes onto other clothing.
When you put your pajamas in the washing machine, the bacteria on it can be passed to all the other linens in the wash. If you’ve worn your nightwear for 2 weeks in a row, washing won’t be able to get rid of most of the microbes and they’ll be transferred onto other clothes that come into contact with the skin.
3. It affects your quality of sleep.
Much like how freshly cleaned bed sheets can give you a sense of relaxation, sleeping in clean nightwear makes you feel refreshed. Crawling into bed wearing sweaty pajamas may keep you up at night if you’re feeling itchy.
4. It can worsen your allergies.
If you’re allergic to dust or have other respiratory disorders, sleeping in old pajamas may cause serious damage. Dust mites eat dead skin flakes, so they’re attracted to your mattress and nightwear, causing breathing problems. If you’re allergic to dust, it’s better to change your pajamas out at least every other night.
5. It may give you acne.
When you don’t change your nightwear, bacteria and dead skin cells build up in the fabric. At night, it gets pressed up against your pores, blocking them and causing breakouts. When you sweat in your sleep, your pajamas absorb sweat, causing pimples.
6. It smells bad.
Your nightwear absorbs sweat, creating a perfect microclimate for bacteria. They thrive in moist, dark places, creating bad odors and disturbing your sleep.
7. It may weaken your immune system.
When you wear the same pajamas night after night, your immune system is constantly fighting against microbes, respiratory complications, and allergies. All of those factors can weaken your body’s defenses, making it harder to protect you from viruses.

Handbag, lounge, or even perfume — there are so many words that we use in our daily life, however, The Royal Family would prefer to avoid some of them. The reason why the royals have to watch their language is because historically, they’ve been separated as the upper-class. Social anthropologist Kate Fox explains in her book, Watching the English, what “deadly sins” you’ll likely never hear royalty say.
The Bright Side team grew curious about this topic and enjoyed reading the aforementioned book. And now we can’t wait to tell you about some more intriguing insights on the rules of The Royal Family.
1. Tea
In many parts of England, the word “tea” is used to describe the evening meal that takes place between 5 p.m and 7 p.m. Though this can be associated with the working class, the upper class has “tea” around 4 p.m. when they usually drink this warm beverage together with cakes or scones. To describe their evening meals, they would use the words “dinner” or “supper.”
2. Serviette
There was speculation that the word “napkin” was replaced with the French word “serviette” by lower middle-class people because it reminded them of the word “nappy.” However, the upper-class, like The Royal Family, would not consider using such foreign words in their vocabulary, no matter how refined they would sound. They would use a traditional “napkin” to wipe their mouths and fingers while eating.
3. Mom and dad
Prince Charles calls Queen Elizabeth “Mummy.” Names like “Ma,” “Pa,” “Mommy,” and “Daddy” aren’t used by upper-class people while talking to their parents. “Mummy” and “Daddy” are used in this case, and when talking about their parents, they use “my mother” and “my father.” Even as grown-ups they stick to these names.
4. Handbag
Even a common word like this is not used by the upper-class. The women of The British Royal Family don’t take “handbags” with them when they go outside, they would carry simple “bags” with them.
5. Toilet
If you visit Buckingham Palace and feel the urge to relieve yourself, you should look for a “loo” or “lavatory.” Again, thanks to the French origin of this word and its association with the working class, this word was banned from the royal vocabulary.
6. Perfume
The royals enjoy pleasant fragrances too. But unlike many of us, they would avoid calling them “perfumes” and instead, “scents.” For example, Meghan Markle has 2 favorite aromas by Jo Malone — London Wild Bluebell and Wood Sage & Sea Salt.
7. Refreshments
This is most people’s favorite word when it comes to partying and having a good time. However, this is another taboo term for those who are upper-class like The Royal Family. When they would like to renew their energy during a meeting, they’ll look for some “food and drink.”
8. Function
If ordinary people participate in an event organized by their work, they might say they’re going to “attend a function.” But the royals refer to such social meetings differently — they just call it a “party.”
9. Portion
When it’s about monitoring healthy eating and keeping fit, the members of The Royal Family don’t watch their portion sizes. For example, Kate Middleton manages to keep her perfect shape because she always watches her “helping sizes.”
10. Dessert
If the Queen wants a sweet course at the end of the meal she won’t ask for some “dessert,” “sweets,” or “afters.” She’ll call it a “pudding,” even if it’s a piece of cake, ice cream, or sorbet. By the way, according to Queen Elizabeth’s former personal chef, she enjoys chocolate biscuit cake the most.
11. Posh
When talking about being luxurious, stylish, or fancy, the correct word that the upper-class would use is “smart.” Meanwhile, “posh” is considered slang and is used only in an ironic context, like when someone wants to make a joke, showing that they know such a word.
12. Pardon
This word might be worse than swearing, according to upper-class people. If you meet someone from The Royal Family and want to excuse yourself, you should say, “Sorry.” If you want to ask them something, then avoid saying a simple, “What?” — or even worse, “Wha?” Instead, you should say, “Sorry, what?”
13. Couch
The British Royal Family sits on “sofas” and not on “settees” as this world is considered too common for them. Because of the influence of American English, the word “couch” can be used sometimes by younger generations, but the older generation prefers to avoid it too.
14. Lounge
Simple “couches” and “setees” are placed in rooms called “lounges” or just “living rooms.” These, however, are avoided by those in the upper class. Instead, they have their sofas in “sitting rooms” or “drawing rooms.”
15. Patio
During warm summer evenings, a lot of people love to relax on their “patios” while having some snacks or drinks. If Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to enjoy some warm weather, they would sit on their “terrace.”

Our bodies are made up of up to 60% water, and drinking enough throughout the day is essential for having glowing skin, maintaining a healthy weight, and flushing toxins out of the body. It even affects our mood and our ability to learn. But getting enough fluids is much more than simply drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
We at Bright Side believe keeping track of your water intake isn’t easy, but it also doesn’t have to be complicated. So we came up with a list of mistakes that might be keeping you from staying properly hydrated.
1. You’re drinking water after your workouts.
While it’s true that drinking water after going to the gym helps with hydration, it’s also important to drink enough before and during exercise. If you start your workout almost dehydrated, you will lose even more fluid while you’re training, and it may be dangerous for your mental and physical health. But you don’t have to stick to just water to restore your fluid balance. Coconut drinks, black and green tea, and even chocolate milk will hydrate you just as well as water.

3. You’re eating too little salt.
Although a high-sodium diet can dehydrate the body, sodium supports the fluid balance of the body. We naturally lose sodium and other trace elements through sweat, and both water and sodium need to be replaced.
4. You’re drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
This popular advice isn’t always accurate. How much water we need depends on different lifestyle factors, such as how physically active we are, what we eat, where we live, and more. To calculate the amount of water in liters your body needs daily, multiply your weight in kilograms by 0.033.

So if you’re trying to keep your fluid balance, drink your water with a snack or have a glass of orange juice or milk instead.
6. You’re skimping on water during your workouts.
When we’re exercising, our bodies lose water through sweat and breathing. Staying hydrated during a workout is important to regulate your body temperature and blood pressure. Fitness experts recommend drinking 7 to 10 ounces every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise.
7. You’re forgetting about water-rich foods.
Many fruits and vegetables count toward your total fluid intake. Some of them, like tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers are also rich in potassium that helps your body stay hydrated for longer.
