Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning British monarch in 2015. Not only is she known for being a wise queen who cares about the prosperity of her country, but she’s also recognized for being a person who isn’t scared to show her emotions in public, and for being a perfect mother, granny, great-granny, and a loving wife.
We at Bright Side have looked through many photos of the Queen and each of them deserves your attention. Nevertheless, we tried to choose the brightest moments that prove she was simply awesome.
When she and her husband prank each other
Queen Elizabeth II gets a fit of giggles as she walks past her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who’s standing to attention in his uniform and bearskin hat.
When she’s simply not amused!
When her emotions become contagious
When she makes that “wifey” look
Every time we see her love for corgis
Every time she laughs
And shows her emotions
When she gets serious
When we see her in the role of granny and great-granny
She breaks our hearts when she sheds tears.
When she rides a horse...
Even at 94!
And when she desperately roots for horses at shows
When she makes herself feel warm
When she and her husband dance together
When she wore that slim-fitting lace dress
Every time she drives a car and proves that age is just a number
When she takes rides on trains
Every time she proves she’s a regular woman
And, of course, when she was working as an ambulance driver and a car mechanic during World War II as a princess

Dogs were the first animals who were domesticated, and this happened more than 12,000 years ago. As a rule, people of that time used them for assistance in hunting, but today our 4-legged friends perform a lot of different tasks, from finding truffles to helping doctors. But their main calling is to make us better and wiser.
We at Bright Side never cease to be surprised by the intelligence and resourcefulness of dogs, and we are sure that they will always have something to amaze us with. At the end of the article, you will find a bonus proving that there is a job for absolutely every dog.
“I was laughing, and my dog thought I desperately needed my emergency inhaler, so he brought it to me.”
“This is Benny. He was a therapy dog at our middle school. He has retired because of his health.”
“I decided that the whole world should know about this wonderful dog.”
The average size for an Oregon black truffle is between 1 and 2 ounces. Today, Rhu found a perfect 7.0 ounce truffle!
“This is Bill. Yesterday he had his first day of training to become my medical alert dog. He’s going to be the first dog to help people with my illness in Australia.”
“He is wearing an assistance dog coat. This is our first time visiting a shopping center together.”
This retired good boy, Harley, just wants to go back to work.
This is Elvis. He has a very rare job — he detects polar bear pregnancy by smell.
Elvis can detect pregnancy in polar bear poop with up to 97% accuracy.
This girl is taking a break from a long day of leading a team of 10 dogs (and humans) in a sled ride.
“My dog comes to work every day. Officially, his title is “Chief Morale Officer.”
“But mostly, he is a ‘Professional Napper’ in his bed under my desk.”
This is Georgia. She helps people with PTSD. Right now, she’s getting ready to give birth to some beautiful future service dogs.
This is a retirement party for explosive detection dogs. The 2 dogs in the middle are retiring, and the dogs on the sides will replace them.
“This is Bonzo, a former sled dog. He has run more than 10,000 miles. This is him on his last sled run a year ago.”
“My mom has Parkinson’s disease. Our pitbull always rests his head on whatever part of her body has tremors the worst. Nobody taught him to do that.”

“I bought a new bed for my service dog with our first paycheck after we got for our first job together! She’s the hardest worker in the whole office!”
The moment you realize that you’re no longer lost in the woods because a search and rescue dog found you:

A researcher has actually proven that men start forming strong attachments to dogs when they approach middle age. We also believe that it’s not just dogs that can magically transform their owners and we have a lot of photos to prove it.
Our Bright Side readers submitted a lot of formerly stubborn men, who were swept off their feet by a pet. Spoiler alert: They are now inseparable.
1. Husband then: “I don’t like pets. He has to sleep outside.” Husband now: Sleeps very still so he doesn’t disturb the dog.
2. “He was not a fan of getting another dog... Now I think he loves her more than me!”
3. “My husband with the cat he didn’t want”
4. My dad 11 years ago: “You don’t need a dog.” My dad today: Gets a towel to dry her off after she swims at their house.
5. He says, “It’s my wife’s dog,” in public. Stop by any time and catch him holding the ’baby’ on the couch.
6. “My husband, who isn’t an animal lover”
7. “My boyfriend of 7 years never wanted a dog and when I got her she wasn’t allowed on the furniture or our bed...”
8. “The dog will be YOUR responsibility!” 2 dogs later:
9. “3 years ago my hubby did not want a dog, now I can’t get a seat on the sofa.”
10. “My boyfriend said my dog will not live with us. Now he cleans her eyes, he taught her how to give hugs, and he carries her when she gets tired.”
11. “My husband, who hated cats”
12. My dad said, “absolutely not” to a dog, so mom got a puppy without telling him. This is my dad and the puppy now.
13. “No dog,” he said. Currently, this is my hubby and his little Shih Tzu princess.
14. “My husband and what he called a ’garbage cat.’ She is now his little kitty girl.”
15. “He said no to pets. We have 4 dogs now, but she’s his favorite.”

Some people collect fridge magnets or postcards , but Rachel Lopez has an unusual hobby .
She takes pictures of colorful plastic patterns that cover ceilings of Mumbai taxis .
When you ’ re sitting in a cab , you rarely think of looking up at the ceiling , but if you ’ re taking a taxi in Mumbai , you can find fruit plates , flowers , or even zebra patterns over your head .

Using a loofah for more than 3 weeks could be harmful to our skin, or using an old router, that is over 4 years old, could slow down our internet connection.
Bright Side loves you and wants you to know how to care for and use vital household items, which will help you in living a very healthy lifestyle.
1. Mugs
What’s a good coffee without our favorite mug. Mugs are what we use every day, and we can’t have a good coffee with a bacteria-filled mug. After filling our mug with coffee and cream, we literally touch the mug with our hands and lips, and if our mug harbors bacteria, it could be harmful to our health. It’s important that we wash our mug immediately after we use it, because in as little as 45 minutes, environmental pathogens like mold can start to grow on it.
2. Mattresses
Mites and dust can accumulate on our mattress over time, and this can be harmful for people, especially those with allergies or respiratory problems. When our mattress isn’t in perfect condition, we might have problems sleeping and this can lead to heart or kidney disease. Generally it’s recommended that we change our mattress every 8 years, but it all depends on the type of mattress.
3. Pillows
It’s recommended for us to change our pillows every 1 — 2 years, because whenever we use them continually when sleeping, they can act as an absorbent for dead skin cells and hair, and they can also become the perfect environment for dust mites, which can be harmful to our skin. It is a good idea to change our pillows every 6 months, and using a protective case between the pillow and the pillowcase is also recommended.
4. Towels
What’s a fresh bath without a clean towel? If your towel isn’t properly maintained, your skin might get irritated, or even infected with bacteria. Also, whenever your towel is damp, it becomes the perfect breeding ground for germs. Your towel should be washed after every 3 uses to maintain the proper hygiene (this is the best way to prevent getting any kind of infection from your towel). Additionally, you should change your towels at least every 2 years, because they tend to lose their absorbency after that period of time.
5. Shower liners
Washing your shower curtain liner once a week is not something you should see as stressful. It’s necessary, as it gets rid of bacteria, mold, and dirt that accumulates on it over time.
6. Router
You should change your router every 3-4 years to avoid experiencing slow network connections. We upgrade our phones, sometimes yearly, and that’s a good thing, but forgetting to upgrade our router, shouldn’t be seen as optional. Our home routers need an upgrade too, in order to get improved internet speed.
7. Old clothes
Getting rid of old clothes, is something we should try to do every year. It’s a good way to keep your closet organized and ready for a fresh start. Here are few ways you’ll know that it’s time to give up your old clothes: They’re beyond repair.
You haven’t worn them for over a year.
You dislike them.
They’re always uncomfortable when you wear them.
They’re too trendy.
They no longer fit your lifestyle.
8. Sheets
Your bedsheets should be washed once a week to avoid harboring any kind of illness. When they’re not properly maintained they can breed fungi, bacteria, and dust mites, and this could be dangerous to your health, especially if you have asthma or allergies. Dirty bedsheets can also cause contact dermatitis. Your bedsheets should be washed thoroughly with hot water to kill any form of germs on them.
9. Loofah
Loofahs can harbor germs, dead skin cells, and remnants of oil and dirt that could be deposited back on our skin if we don’t change them often. Your loofahs should be changed every 3 to 4 weeks, to maintain the proper hygiene and avoid dermatological problems.
10. Old appliances
Most appliances will only last you 10 — 15 years, even with proper maintenance. It’s advisable to change most of your appliances after 10 years of use, because they will most likely develop faults after this time. Even if you repair them, there’s a high probability that a fault might come up again so changing them every 10 years is advisable.

1. “My grandma wanted to see the ocean one last time before checking into hospice. Her face says it all.”
2. “My boyfriend’s reaction when the otter let him rub her belly”
3. “Our ballerinas had a touch of stage fright but with a little coaxing, they followed my husband like little ducklings.”
4. “My grandma has a hard time due to depression. But she and her friend take vacations every year together. Here are the photos she just sent me.”
5. “My dad loves his birthday T-shirt gift so much.”
6. “Our first family photo after fighting infertility for a few years”
7. “Found this touching photo of my grandparents today, taken 50 years ago.”
8. “My daughter has been asking for a dog for years. Finally surprised her with a 10 week old puppy.”
9. “I fought so hard for this girl at the shelter. Little did I know she’d end up being ours.”
10. “My grandmother at her eightieth birthday party. She’s always told me, ’You’re only as old as you feel,’ and it works for her.”
11. “My sister cheering on our foster sister for getting her first-ever award! She’s worked so hard since she’s lived with us.”
12. “My grandpa meeting my son, which may be the first and last time...”
13. “My dad built a standing garden for my grandmother who has arthritis. Now she can garden every day without pain.”
14. “My wife and daughter recreating a picture we took the day our daughter moved in for foster care vs today, 5 years later!”
15. “Gave my dad his Father’s Day present early. He couldn’t stop smiling.”
16. “I was adopted 22 years ago. This is the first picture with my older sister. We recreated it together.”
17. “Today we found out that we’re having a baby girl.”
18. “My mom finally graduated at 50 years old! It’s never too late to follow your dreams. She’s my hero.”
19. “My daughter was born on my grandfather’s 100th birthday and yesterday they ’met’ for the first time. I can hardly describe the joy it brought me.”
20. “15 years ago, my mom lost the diamond from her wedding ring. For most of her marriage, she didn’t wear a ring. Today, my dad surprised her.”

There are often situations in our lives that are out of our control. They require a lot of emotional strength, which at times we actually manage to muster. But many others make us feel defeated, and the stress of always having to be strong could end up taking its toll. A study on emotional exhaustion in nurses, who are often exposed to situations of demand, control, and fatigue, found interesting evidence of what this type of exhaustion means. Taking care of your emotional life is of the utmost importance and it should always be one of your top priorities.
That’s why Bright Side decided to write an article on emotional exhaustion, a syndrome that often goes unnoticed, but that is just as important as any other medical issue. At the end of the article you will also find a few recommendations to prevent and/or help you cope with this very particular type of stress.
Emotional exhaustion, an overload of stimuli
When someone is emotionally exhausted, they often get overwhelmed or feel overloaded. Contrary to what you might think, overworking is not the only reason that this happens (this is sometimes referred to as burnout syndrome). Emotional exhaustion happens in many other situations too. Sometimes it comes up in more personal circumstances like with couples, while parenting, or in people whose job involves taking care of others, like nurses. It is actually linked to taking on more responsibility than we can handle — it’s more like an overload of emotions. It presents itself as physical tiredness and a feeling of lack of control over our life.
What the study found
In this study, Dr. Jordi Fernández-Castro of the University of Barcelona and his team analyzed how a group of 96 nurses from the ER and ICU perceived demands, control, effort, and rewards. They also measured how their perception changed depending on the task they were asked to perform. The goal was to find out if these factors were linked to emotional exhaustion. Using an app specifically designed for this purpose, the nurses had to answer 4 questions related to demand, control, effort, and reward during their tasks. The results showed that fatigue decreased with reward, but increased together with the level of emotional exhaustion when demand was more important. In other words, how important a task is and what we get out of it play an important role in fatigue at the workplace. Personal factors like lack of sleep play a part as well.
Possible causes for emotional exhaustion
Despite the fact that nurses from the study showed chronic stress due to the nature of their work, anyone can be at risk of suffering emotional exhaustion. A person can become progressively overwhelmed with negative emotions, thoughts, or feelings until they become unable to cope with the stress. The feeling of being tired may increase throughout the day, especially at times when work is the most demanding. It only gets a bit better when it is compensated with a perceived reward. This reward can be personal or financial in nature. Clearly, another example of reward can simply be a moment of true rest.
Nurses are a good example of what the constant demand for responsibility at work can cause. Together, other circumstances could trigger emotional exhaustion too, like: Going through a significant change in life, like a divorce or the death of a loved one
Having an unstable financial situation
Working under pressure, or feeling social pressure from family and/or at school
Having a chronic illness
Being exposed to a highly demanding work environment
A few symptoms that might help you check whether you suffer from emotional exhaustion
Emotional exhaustion can come “silently,” but can be noticed in multiple ways, like with when you feel more physical fatigue than normal, or if you have headaches, depression, or problems falling asleep. That said, certain symptoms have nothing to do with exhaustion, so it’s always recommended that you seek professional help if any of these occur.
You might also have difficulty focusing or visualizing things.
If you’re suddenly starting to have difficulty concentrating on things, you might be emotionally exhausted. Some people might even have trouble organizing or planning things in their minds.
