Bright Side loves kitty cats, so we thought we’d make a list of some of the most common house plants you might actually own without knowing that they could be toxic to your pet. But not everything is bad news. Don’t miss the bonus at the end of the article where you’ll find a list of common house plants that are good for your four-legged friend’s health.
1. Kalanchoe
The Kalanchoe is a family of plants that includes a whole variety of very beautiful flowers that can often be found around people’s homes. These plants bloom from early winter to spring, depending on the weather, and can bring a lot of color and life to your house. However, it’s a whole different story for your cat. These plants can actually be very dangerous for them. Every single part of the plant contains toxins and, if our pet comes into contact with them, it could experience symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling. Also, if the cat eats them in bigger quantities, it could experience a heart arrhythmia and convulsions. So, you know, if you have one of these plants in the house, it’s best to keep it away from your cat.
2. The money plant
The money plant might very well be one of the most common houseplants in the world. It is very simple to take care of it and it is a strong and resistant plant. However, it can also wreak havoc with our kittens’ health. Felines are very curious animals and they often get close to this plant. They often like chewing on one or 2 of its leaves and branches. And that is exactly when it might get into trouble. This species of plants contains more than a few harmful substances that can irritate your cat’s lips, tongue, and mouth. The cat could also produce excess saliva (start drooling), suffer from vomiting, and even have difficulty when swallowing. If you want to keep these plants in your home, the best advice we can give you is to place them somewhere your cat can’t easily come into contact with them.
3. Cyclamen
Also known as swinebread, because it’s said to be eaten by pigs, the cyclamen is a plant that is usually found at home. In cats, however, cyclamen can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, heart rate abnormalities, convulsions, and even death.
4. Daffodil
The daffodil, also known as narcissus, is a highly valued plant by gardening enthusiasts because its flowers are very beautiful and have a very distinctive fragrance. But when it comes to pets, this species can be a major concern. The bulbs contain lycorine, a substance that can be poisonous if consumed in large quantities. Because of this, try to keep your kitten away from daffodils, as they can cause seizures, diarrhea, tremors, decreased blood pressure, and heart arrhythmia. And clearly, you wouldn’t want that to happen!
5. Lillies
According to a study, 73% of people whose cats were exposed to lilies were not aware that the plant was toxic for their pets. This number says a lot about the lack of awareness in this matter. As it turns out, if a cat ingests 1 or 2 leaves of this species, or if it consumes a small amount of pollen while grooming itself, it can suffer acute kidney failure. It can also be dangerous for a cat to drink the water from a vase in which the flowers of this plant are kept. Symptoms of poisoning include loss of appetite and weakness.
6. Cycas revoluta
The Cycas revoluta, also known as the sago palm despite not being an actual palm, is quite famous for giving a tropical and warm feeling to any home. That’s great indeed, but you should know that it is poisonous to both cats and humans. Still, cats are the ones that are at a greater risk of being exposed to it. They love chewing this funny looking plant because it tastes great to them! Unfortunately, the whole plant is toxic and the most dangerous parts are the seeds. These contain very high levels of a toxin called cycasin. The most frequent symptoms that your cat could suffer after ingesting them are fainting, vomiting, diarrhea, liver failure, and nosebleeds, among others.
7. Chrysanthemums
In China, the chrysanthemum is a symbol of wisdom; in Japan, it’s the national flower; in Mexico, it’s associated with Day of the Dead; and in Poland, it represents All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. The beauty of this flower is indisputable, but it’s also very dangerous for kittens who may want to chew it because of its shape and texture. The symptoms they will experience after ingesting the flower are dermatitis, diarrhea, vomiting, excessive saliva production (drooling), and difficulty in coordinating movements.
8. Laurel
The laurel is widely used in gastronomy. You’ve probably seen many recipes that call for adding a few leaves of laurel as aromatics. It’s a common ingredient in soups, stews, and steak seasonings. But despite its ability to lend a delicious flavor to food, our feline friends can experience weakness, a decrease in blood pressure, diarrhea, and vomiting if they ingest it.
9. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus and cats are not a good match. It’s worth noting that having a tree of this species at home is not really a common thing. However, we do more often have essential oils around with a eucalyptus scent. It’s popular because it can be used as a mosquito repellent or even as a decongestant. It is very important that felines do not have access to the plant, not to mention the essential oil which has a greater concentration of the elements that are toxic for cats. Just a few drops ingested or inhaled by the cat can make them experience difficulty breathing, weakness, and excessive production of saliva (drooling), among other symptoms.
10. English Ivy
Ivy or Hedera is often found in interiors, most often in a pot, or in gardens, climbing on a wall or a tree. Despite the fact that the foliage of this plant is toxic, another problem lies in its fruit. They are fleshy little spheres that can be purple or yellow in color. While they look a bit like blueberries, you should be careful not to eat them because they have a high concentration of elements that are poisonous to both felines and humans. Cats can suffer from abdominal pain, hypersalivation, and diarrhea.
Bonus: Plants that are good for your cat’s health
There are several species of houseplants, and wild plants, that are dangerous for our kittens’ health. But having a cat does not mean that you can’t have any nice plants at home anymore. There are many others that are not only harmless to our pets, but that can also be very beneficial to their health.
1. Nepeta cataria
Also known as catnip, this is a species that is irresistible to cats. It attracts them and makes them want to smell it, chew its leaves, and rub their whole body in it. It produces an incredible state of ecstasy and makes them behave in a fun and playful way.
2. Juniper
Juniper is another plant that is safe to have at home when you have cats. It has antiseptic and antifungal properties, and you can always use its oil to fight your pets’ parasites. Also, juniper has been used in foods like meats, sauces, and fillings.
3. Rosemary
Rosemary is an aromatic plant that has multiple benefits. On the one hand, we can use it to season different foods, but it is also very beneficial for the health of our cats. In some cases, it can even help them to reduce the symptoms of allergies, pain, and respiratory problems. So your cats can eat it without problems, you can crush it and mix it with their food or give it to them in infusions.
4. Orchid
If you are a flower enthusiast, but you also want to take care of your pet’s health, having orchids at home is a good option for you. Thanks to their bright colors, orchids will give a feeling of vitality to your home without putting your cat’s health at risk. However, if your four-legged friend usually enjoys chewing the leaves of plants, try to place it in a spot where it’s a bit harder to reach. That way you’ll make sure your orchids grow strong and healthy.

When people look at themselves in the mirror, they try to hold a good pose, smile, raise their brows, and do many other things that can make them look more attractive. However, sometimes accidental shots can unfold the real truth: like your hair being styled completely different than you imagined, posture that’s far from perfect, and brows that look as if a small kid drew them on. And that’s how the surrounding people actually see us.
We at Bright Side looked at people from all angles and figured out what details many of them miss simply because they don’t see them. That’s why it’s important to remember that apart from the front of our looks, people can also see us from the side, the back, and even from above.
1. The view of a hairdo from the back
Typically, we tend to think that everything is fine with our hair after having checked how it looks in the front. Unfortunately, the view from the back can be quite disappointing. That’s what happened to Britney Spears at one of the big award shows she attended. She had perfect styling in the front and tangled hair in the back, which of course, spoiled the entire look. That’s why it’s better to check how you look with the help of a small mirror before you leave home. Take the small mirror in your hands, turn your back to a big mirror, and catch the reflection of the back of your head in the small mirror. You can use the same trick to see yourself from the sides.
2. Foundation applied exclusively to the face
Many people’s facial skin is darker than the skin on their neck. Since the face is an open part of the body, it gets more sun rays. This is especially noticeable in the summer when the face gets tan and the neck stays fair. When it comes to foundation, many people choose it according to their facial tone and apply it up to the chin line. But this causes a clear border to be visible from the side to everyone, while the face looks like an orange mask. And a foundation that’s too fair will have the same effect but with a different shade. The best solution is to use multiple shades of foundation to be able to create a natural-looking color.
3. Slouching
People with good posture make a good impression and radiate confidence. But our life is inextricably linked with various gadgets, and many people have to spend the whole working day sitting at a computer. This all can result in involuntarily pulling one’s head closer to the screen. These actions first create strong tension in the muscles of the neck and spine, leading this poor body positioning to become habitual. There’s an easy way to understand whether you have issues with the spine or not. Lean against a wall with your shoulder blades, buttocks, and heels aligned with it. Your feet should be straight and the gaze should be directed forward. Try to stand at least 1-2 minutes in such a position. If you realize that you’re feeling discomfort, it means you should pay more attention to your back. For example, you can start doing special exercises such as bends, twists, and stretching.
4. A frayed and cracked bag
The constant wearing of a bag inevitably leads to the appearance of scuffs, cracks, and stains on it. It happens both with expensive and budget-friendly items. It’s important to carefully monitor the condition of your accessories and bring them back to a good state (if possible) or get rid of them. This is because exposed thread, worn-out corners, and peeling paint on metal or plastic details can create an unkempt look and spoil the reputation of whoever’s wearing it.
5. Jeans that fit poorly
Not all jeans are equally useful. And while any cut, at some point in time, can be very flattering to someone, there are also options that can spoil one’s body shape by creating extra volume, unnecessary folds, or killing the feminine look completely. Even those who like oversized looks should pay attention to how jeans fit their hips, especially from the back when choosing a new pair. After all, the worst thing one can end up having is awkward looking jeans sagging from the back.
6. Appearing pigeon-toed
It wasn’t long ago that the clubfoot came in hot from Japan. That was when people would elegantly put their toes together and feet apart in photos (remember, there’s no logical explanation for things that suddenly become fashionable). However, this trend is long gone, and if you still have this habit, it’s high time you started to control the positioning of your feet. It doesn’t look healthy or attractive.
7. Wrinkled clothing
Ironing takes a lot of time and many people consider this activity to be exhausting. Moreover, sloppy looks are trendy nowadays — and knowing this, many people started to neglect ironing. However, only a few people can look stylish in wrinkled clothes: those who know how to combine things. In most cases, surrounding people get the impression of the so-called fashion monger’s negligence, especially when it’s not warm out.
8. Clothes that don’t fit your type
Every girl has her own body type, whether it be dramatic, romantic, natural, or gamine. Thanks to this typology, women can easily develop a personal wardrobe that will emphasize their charisma and remarkable physical features. Therefore, even the most relevant, feminine, or expensive clothes can look extremely ridiculous on one person and incredibly fabulous on another.
9. Choosing the wrong size of clothes
One of the most common mistakes people make when putting together a look is choosing clothes that are too large or too small. It greatly affects the perception of your body shape. For example, underwear that’s too tight can contribute to the appearance of rolls on the back and sides, even if the girl is slim. And oversized trousers visually break proportions and add extra volume. Keep in mind that oversized clothes also have sizes that fit and don’t fit. If your body shape has changed, don’t try to fit into your favorite old skirt — it will constrain your movements and “shout out” that it’s too small for you. It’s important to rely on your reflection in the mirror and comfort rather than digits and letters on the label when choosing clothes.
10. A belt with defects
It’s the small details that create a very unique image. A high-quality belt can take any outfit to the next level. However, belts that go together with dresses or coats in mass-market stores are often of very low quality and they end up with loose holes and fall apart after several months of use. It’s very noticeable from the side. That’s why you shouldn’t hesitate to get rid of such accessories and replace them with one item of good quality.
11. Stretched jeans
If your jeans become slightly stretched over time, you’d better not continue to wear them. Your body might look vague and shapeless in such jeans, while the area of the hips and knees might get skin folds. A good solution for stretched jeans is to embrace today’s trend: jeans with holes in the knee area. In order to make them look more fitted, you can take them in or wash them in the washing machine at 200°F. You should stop the washing machine before it starts the rinsing cycle. Start the washing cycle again but without the washing powder — it will allow you to rinse the jeans in hot water.
12. Tights that don’t match your skin color
This seemingly small detail might make other people question the girl’s taste and her overall body shape. Neutral tights should be chosen so that they match the hands’ skin tone as much as possible. In addition, they should complement the overall look and not draw attention. This trick will help your legs look longer and slimmer. Tights that drastically differ in color from the rest of the clothes create an extra horizontal line and add more inches to the overall look.
13. Dirty shoes
There’s nothing that can spoil a look quite as much as dirty, unkempt footwear. Shoes with peeling leather or boots with stains of dirt and dust on them draw a lot of attention and make whoever’s wearing them look untidy and careless. Of course, it’s difficult to make your shoes look 100% clean all the time, but still, when you come home, make it a rule to clean your shoes. It will help to create a good impression and allows the shoes to last longer.
14. Uncomfortable shoes
Shoes that prevent you from walking in a normal way make the gait unsteady. Fashion is not always rational, and oftentimes, things that look good on models — and even on you when you’re in the fitting room trying them on — turn into an instrument of torture in real life. It becomes visible to others right away and leaves no trace of grace.
15. Brow tattoos that are too obvious
Some brow tattoo artists remove their clients’ brows completely before drawing in the brow contour that they need from scratch. Eventually, the result looks extremely unnatural, especially when you take into account that some pigments start to change colors over time — they can become green, blue, and even red. Nowadays, it’s neat looking, natural brows that are trendy — after all, nothing can beat the brow shape that nature gave you. You just need to give it a little boost.
What details on other people turn you off and spoil the way you see them?


brightside--2020-10-31--7 Little-Known Facts Behind “Hocus Poсus” That’ll Give You Chills

Hocus Pocus is pretty much the Home Alone of Halloween — would anyone even argue this ?
It ’ s been over 27 years since the initial release of this Disney hit , but the 1993 film is still a Halloween favorite .
And even if you watch it every spooky season like a true fan , there are a few tidbits of insider information bubbling beneath the surface .
Here at Bright Side , we love Halloween and every spine-chilling tradition that goes along with it — including this legendary film .
So let ’ s take a closer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In 2010 , Sarah Jessica Parker took part in the show , Who Do You Think You Are ?
and found out that she actually has a woman who was accused of being a witch among her relatives — Esther Elwell was at the famed Salem witch trials .
Fortunately , she never made it to the actual trial and avoided being burned since the execution of those accused of practicing witchcraft was eventually abolished .
There ’ s no information regarding if producers of the film knew about Parker ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the actress herself shared that she had no idea about it during the making of Hocus Pocus .
The story of Hocus Pocus was actually created by screenwriter David Kirschner as a bedtime story for his kids .
He and his young daughter were outside and his neighbor ’ s black cat came by .
Kirschner came up with a tale of how the cat was a boy who was turned into a feline 300 years ago by 3 witches .
The story ended up as a script for a Disney movie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always been a huge deal for his family .
And his story turned out to be thrilling for people all over the world !
The house where Allison and Max opened the witches ’ spell book looks like the embodiment of Halloween .
Many viewers also envied Max ’ s bedroom because of its extraordinary lookout on the top of the house .
Unlike most of the Hocus Pocus locations , the house remains a private residence and is closed to visitors .
According to Zillow , the home was built in 1870 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today .
While the home remains closed to the public , Boston.com claims that the current owners are friendly and don ’ t mind tourists taking pics of its exterior .
It ’ s almost impossible to imagine it today , but when the movie had just come out in July of 1993 ( which wasn ’ t even Halloween season ) , it wasn ’ t an immediate hit and received a lot of criticism .
It also wasn ’ t considered to be commercially successful as it collected $ 39 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This only proves that Hocus Pocus didn ’ t become a hit overnight , but today , 27 years later , the whole world loves it .
True fans have recently discovered that the iconic fountain in the Friends opening credits is the same one that appears in Hocus Pocus .
As it turns out , the fountain is stationed on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles and not located in Central Park in NYC ( as Friends fans thought ) , nor is it in Salem , Massachusetts where the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director Kenny Ortega shared , the casting crew sent over the actor to play Max Dennison who wasn ’ t available but “ you ’ re going to fall in love with him ” and get inspired .
That was actually a young Leonardo Dicaprio !
He said he was sorry ( despite the fact that he was offered a lot of money ) as he had 2 more movies coming , This Boy ’ s Life and What ’ s Eating Gilbert Grape .

Hocus Pocus is pretty much the Home Alone of Halloween — would anyone even argue this? It’s been over 27 years since the initial release of this Disney hit, but the 1993 film is still a Halloween favorite. And even if you watch it every spooky season like a true fan, there are a few tidbits of insider information bubbling beneath the surface.
Here at Bright Side, we love Halloween and every spine-chilling tradition that goes along with it — including this legendary film. So let’s take a closer look at the history behind its creation.
1. Sarah Jessica Parker is related to a woman publically accused of being a witch.
In 2010, Sarah Jessica Parker took part in the show, Who Do You Think You Are? and found out that she actually has a woman who was accused of being a witch among her relatives — Esther Elwell was at the famed Salem witch trials. Fortunately, she never made it to the actual trial and avoided being burned since the execution of those accused of practicing witchcraft was eventually abolished.
There’s no information regarding if producers of the film knew about Parker’s ancestors at the time of filming, but the actress herself shared that she had no idea about it during the making of Hocus Pocus.
2. Hocus Pocus originated as a bedtime story.
The story of Hocus Pocus was actually created by screenwriter David Kirschner as a bedtime story for his kids. He and his young daughter were outside and his neighbor’s black cat came by. Kirschner came up with a tale of how the cat was a boy who was turned into a feline 300 years ago by 3 witches.
The story ended up as a script for a Disney movie. As Kirschner shares, Halloween has always been a huge deal for his family. And his story turned out to be thrilling for people all over the world!
3. The famous house isn’t just a set, it’s an actual residence in Salem.
The house where Allison and Max opened the witches’ spell book looks like the embodiment of Halloween. Many viewers also envied Max’s bedroom because of its extraordinary lookout on the top of the house. Unlike most of the Hocus Pocus locations, the house remains a private residence and is closed to visitors.
According to Zillow, the home was built in 1870 and is estimated to cost $492,540 today. While the home remains closed to the public, Boston.com claims that the current owners are friendly and don’t mind tourists taking pics of its exterior.
4. Hocus Pocus was considered to be a failure at the box office.
It’s almost impossible to imagine it today, but when the movie had just come out in July of 1993 (which wasn’t even Halloween season), it wasn’t an immediate hit and received a lot of criticism. It also wasn’t considered to be commercially successful as it collected $39 million domestically on a $28 million budget. This only proves that Hocus Pocus didn’t become a hit overnight, but today, 27 years later, the whole world loves it.
5. Hocus Pocus shares a fountain with Friends.
True fans have recently discovered that the iconic fountain in the Friends opening credits is the same one that appears in Hocus Pocus. As it turns out, the fountain is stationed on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles and not located in Central Park in NYC (as Friends fans thought), nor is it in Salem, Massachusetts where the Hocus Pocus story took place.
6. Leonardo DiCaprio said he was offered the part of Max for more money than he ever dreamed of.
As director Kenny Ortega shared, the casting crew sent over the actor to play Max Dennison who wasn’t available but “you’re going to fall in love with him” and get inspired. That was actually a young Leonardo Dicaprio! He said he was sorry (despite the fact that he was offered a lot of money) as he had 2 more movies coming, This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.
But luckily, casting figured out what type of spirit they needed and soon found Omri Katz who played Max in the end.
7. Many different cats were used to play Binx, depending on the scene.
There were quite a few cats who played Binx, one of the main characters in the movie. There was a special cat for cuddles, another one was good at jumping, etc. Kids weren’t really happy about it as they needed to get to know a new cat every time they did a scene. There’s a saying that cats have nine lives, but here, it seems like it was the opposite — a bunch of cats had to play one life!

brightside--2020-11-01--10 Warning Signs That You Should Take Your Pet to the Vet

That , of course , changes their habits and makes them gain weight .
Polyphagia can also be caused by certain medications , hormonal problems , diabetes , or hyperthyroidism .

Unfortunately, pets cannot talk, which means they cannot tell us they feel ill or whether some part of their body hurts. And even if that would prove itself useful, there is another solution. By paying special attention to sudden changes in our pet’s behavior and doing a little bit of research on what these symptoms could mean, we can avoid more serious illnesses in the future.
That’s why, today, Bright Side decided to do some research online so that you can see if your pet suffers from any of these symptoms and figure out what they could mean.
1. Tearing eyes and winks
If you see that your pet often has teary eyes and is constantly winking, it could be suffering from an illness. In any case, we have to pay attention to what could be going on because cats and dogs do not show emotions through tears. Of course, that means it’s important to take your pet to the vet for a check-up as soon as possible. If your cat often has teary eyes and you notice it starts winking more than usual, it might have conjunctivitis, allergies, or maybe even a foreign particle in its eyes. You should also look for red marks in their eyes.

If your dog has teary eyes, especially if it’s just one, this could also be a sign of a corneal injury, conjunctivitis, allergies, tumors, or even an obstruction in their tear duct.
2. Overgrooming its paws
If your pet constantly feels the need to lick or bite its paws, it could be experiencing pain or itching that bothers them in and around their claws. You really have to pay close attention to your pet if you notice that this habit is becoming very constant as the days go by. You probably know that cats have a habit of licking their paws every day, but you should pay attention to whether they lick their paws repeatedly and if the area around their claws becomes red or starts to lose hair. This might indicate that they suffer from allergies, intolerances, or parasites (among other things).
Dogs can have problems with their claws, especially if they change color or break easily. The conditions that can cause these symptoms can be allergies, tumors, or metabolic diseases.
3. Excessive drooling
It’s common for some pets, like dogs, to produce a lot of drool. However, if you notice that the amount of drool your dog is producing gets out of hand, you might be witnessing one of the first symptoms of an illness. As for cats, visible salivation is always a clear sign that something might be wrong. When it comes to dogs , hypersalivation can be due to intoxication, foreign objects inserted or stuck in their mouth, infections, or stress, among other causes.

4. Low or seemingly sad mood
Depression in pets, like in humans, is hardly ever talked about, despite the fact that it is much more serious than a simple bad disposition or a blue state of mind that can be shaken off at will. It is an actual illness that, most of the time, is dealt with in secret and that, in the case of your pet, could prevent it from behaving normally. If your dog shows depressed behavior that does not go away after a short amount of time, it could be suffering from depression due to trauma, hypothyroidism, fever, or cataracts, among other possibilities.

There are many reasons why this could happen. Some of the most common are jealousy, stress, and anxiety. In any case, we’re talking about an illness that can cause a huge amount of discomfort or even traumatic shock.
5. Sudden weight loss
Being overweight isn’t the only weight-related problem that could put your pet’s health at risk. A sudden loss of weight for no apparent reason could also be a clear symptom of a serious underlying illness in pets. The causes of weight loss in pets should always be determined by a veterinarian after a careful examination, to find out what’s really happening. Some of the most common reasons for an animal to lose weight very quickly include internal parasites, hyperthyroidism, cancer, or heart problems — so make sure you go to your vet as soon as possible.
6. Constant scratching
Scratching, in dogs and cats, is a normal habit that, at first sight, should not involve any risk for their health. However, if on top of scratching itself constantly, your pet is also losing hair on different parts of its body, it might be suffering from a disease. Dogs that feel itchy and constantly scratch themselves could be suffering from a food allergy, dermatitis, fungus, or skin irritations, among other things.

If your cat has lost hair around their eyes, this could be related to constant scratching caused maybe by an itch or a specific discomfort. Those, in turn, could be caused by conjunctivitis or even a foreign object that ended up in the cat’s eye.
8. Doesn’t want to go out for a walk or play at home
When a pet refuses to participate in its daily activities or even walk, most of the time it’s due to an inflammation in the joints that makes it very difficult for them to play or in severe cases, to walk. If your pet refuses to walk or has difficulty with simple physical activities, it could be a symptom of osteoarthritis, pain in their paws, or even the possible tearing of the cruciate ligament in the knee, which can be very painful.
9. Constantly shakes its head or scratches its ear
When a pet scratches its ears and shakes its head frantically, it is a clear sign that something might be happening in or around the ear region. Head movements that clearly show that your pet is trying to get rid of something stuck in its ear or intense scratching in that area are reasons to go to the vet. He or she will then examine your pet to figure out exactly what the problem is. Keep in mind that if your dog shakes its head and constantly scratches around the ear area or neck, it could mean that it has a foreign object stuck in its ear, otitis, ticks, or bruises, among other possible causes.

If your cat feels discomfort in its ears and shakes its head constantly, it could be a symptom of having a foreign object stuck in its ear, an infection, inflammation, otitis, or allergies, among other possible causes.
10. Sudden overeating in a compulsive way
Just like lack of appetite, pets can experience a sort of anxiety that leads them to eat more food than they really need. This could also be a symptom of an underlying health issue in your pet. Clearly, there are breeds of dogs and cats that need to eat more than others. And since there are so many varieties of pets, each one can be different, so it’s important to ask for a vet’s opinion. If your dog continues asking for food desperately, even after having eaten its normal intake, it might be suffering from diabetes, hyperthyroidism, problems in the digestive system, or intestinal parasites that lead it to overeat.

Even though time is invisible, it’s truly amazing how many objects around us maintain bright and vivid traces of time passing by and tell a story better than any novel. Just take a closer look at the things you use and see every day. Stuffed toys, wallets, boots, and even spoons — they are all waiting to tell you their decade-long secrets, if you’re ready to listen.
Here at Bright Side, we’ve chosen these 19 pics for you of objects that can no longer hide the footprints of time, and maybe you can enlarge our collection with your own amazing pics.

We at Bright Side have learned about the marketing moves of companies that weren’t afraid of going their own way with their campaigns.
Kim Kardashian’s Skims underwear
The underwear/shapewear brand from Kim Kardashian appears on the official website in small batches, heating up the hype. Kim’s team uses Robert Cialdini’s scarcity principle. It means that the less often we have a chance to buy a product (and the more difficult it is to buy it), the more valuable it seems to be. The probability that someone will buy it is incredibly high.
Storing the things of their regular clients at the hotel
In 2014, The Grand Hyatt Melbourne offered its regular clients a service: Leave it at Hyatt. Clients can leave their baggage at the hotel, so they can use them when they come again. When they return to the hotel they don’t have to bring baggage, and their stuff (like the stuff they left there) is already in their rooms, washed and ironed.
Prank party from a shoe store
Trendy women from Los Angeles were invited to a closed presentation of Palessi shoes. Everything was done so well that the shoes were selling like hotcakes, at $200 a pair. Everyone was shocked when they found out that this designer didn’t exist and that the party was organized by a local mass-market shoe store to show how little difference there really is between brands.
Kylie Cosmetics viral challenge
Kylie Cosmetics, that belongs to Kylie Jenner, attracted attention with a scandal related to lip fillers. Kylie Jenner denied using lip fillers and said that it was just the right makeup that she used. But when nobody believed her, she decided to use this scandal as a marketing move. On social media, teenagers were sharing the “Kylie Jenner Challenge.”
To improve their sales at Procter & Gamble (the manufacturer of laundry detergents like Gain and Tide), they changed their dress code.
Procter & Gamble increased the sale of their detergents by 20% in the ’80s. The company did a study together with Levi Strauss Jeans and found out that their core audience was employed and that the use of their detergents would increase if they didn’t wear suits to work (which are taken to dry cleaners), but instead wore everyday clothes. Employees that wear casual clothes, work way more efficiently compared to those that have strict dress codes. So P&G decided to implement casual Fridays for their employees and many companies followed this example and canceled their dress codes on Fridays. Brilliant!
Clairol hair dye
The 1957 Clairol commercial had this catchphrase, “Does she... or doesn’t she?” The point of the campaign was to highlight the natural hair color Clairol created. The commercial explained that only a hairdresser knows for sure if a woman dyes her hair or not and the idea was that it was impossible to tell. The campaign made it to 9th place on the list of the 10 best campaigns from the 20th century.
Marilyn Monroe in an ad for The Seven Year Itch
The photo that got Marilyn Monroe divorced from her husband was actually a marketing move. Her dress starts to fly up, but it’s not because of the air from the vent. The dress flew because there was a huge fan and there were a lot of people around the actress watching, who were invited especially for the photo. Marilyn’s husband Joe DiMaggio was in the crowd and he got really angry. The photo circulated through the worldwide media outlets and the film The Seven Year Itch ended up being very successful.
Boxes of sanitary napkins from Johnson & Johnson without any branding
In the 40s, the Modess sanitary napkins from Johnson & Johnson were advertised using women who were wearing amazing dresses. The products themselves weren’t shown and the tagline was pretty mysterious: “Modess... because.” The napkins were sold in ordinary boxes, without any branding. The design was supposed to hide the contents of the box.
De Beers wedding ring ads
The biggest diamond in the history of diamond auctions was the De Beers Millennium (10.10 carats) which was sold for $32 million.
During an economic crisis, the De Beers company that controlled South African mines changed the collective attitude toward engagement. They gave up on commercials with women wearing amazing dresses and replaced with them black-and-white posters that talked to men and said, “No, your wife didn’t pay for this ad (but she did tell us what paper you read).” Over time, the sales of De Beers diamonds grew from $23 million to $2.1 billion.
Carrie-style telekinesis in a public place
Reminiscent of the classic horror film Carrie, the New York viral marketing company, Thinkmodo, created a scene similar to one from the film in a New York coffee shop. The visitors thought that a young woman’s telekinesis was initiated when a guy accidentally spilled coffee on her laptop.
“Hidden” Puma advertisement
During the Summer Olympics in Beijing, Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt took off his golden Puma sneakers and froze in his traditional position, pointing his finger right at the shoes. Puma released a book about Bolt, even showcasing a hidden flipbook animation of his sprint.
WePay’s move to unfreeze your money
WePay really wanted to compete with PayPal. The problem with PayPal was that they froze the accounts of their users. WePay literally froze several hundred dollar bills and wrote “PayPal freezes your accounts” on a massive, 600-pound block of ice. The co-founder of WePay, Rich Aberman, sent the ice message to a PayPal conference with the statement: “Unfreeze your money by using WePay.”
