People have always wanted to live in a comfortable, beautiful place. But sometimes, expensive furniture and high-tech devices are not enough. It’s very important to quickly remove useless things and tasteless items from your home because even the things that seem unimportant can completely ruin the vibe of your place.
We at Bright Side always pay attention to the details many people don’t notice. And sometimes, these details make even the most stylish apartments and houses look messy and cheap.
1. Bed linens from different sets
According to studies, the color, pattern, and fabric of your bed linens can impact a person’s physical and emotional health. How can you get healthy sleep if you rest on something old and discolored? Additionally, bed linens from different sets look bad and cheap.
2. Magnets on fridges
Magnets look messy and they attract a lot of attention. But many people still can’t get rid of such a collection on their fridge. And it’s usually due to the emotions we feel when we see our “trophies” from our various trips and memories. Alternatively, try finding a different spot for the magnets. For example, a big board with a beautiful frame could be nice. Also, learn to bring home more useful souvenirs from your trips (like dishes and clothes).
3. A satin cover on the bed
Bed covers can give away its owners’ taste. There are some exceptions, but candidly speaking, low-quality covers like these weren’t even trendy 20 years ago.
4. Old-fashioned bean bag chairs
In the 2000s, these things were extremely popular and could even be found in small apartments. But today, bean bag chairs are only used in summer cafes, terraces, and other creative spaces. Maybe you can use them in a baby’s room if you have enough space. But make sure the design is trendy and the chair is made of high-quality materials.
5. Lids from other pots and frying pans
Lids that are used with different pots attract attention. This looks even worse when the size doesn’t match: they’re either too small and fall on the food or they’re a bit too big, causing condensation to drip onto the oven. Even the best kitchen designs can look cheap with these seemingly unimportant details.
6. Covers on couches
This old-fashioned way of saving couches and armchairs will ruin any interior design. Get rid of this habit and never go back!
7. A rag at the door
Old rags or torn towels often serve as doormats. Such things ruin the impression of your place right off the bat. Buy a simple mat that’s easy to vacuum clean.
8. Dishes with dents and cracks
Dishes should be new. Don’t feel bad about getting rid of cups and plates that have tiny cracks or dents. Even if you’re not superstitious or scared of bacteria, be careful: there may come a time when a cracked cup of tea will break in your hands.
9. Decorative stones on the walls and near the doorways
There’s absolutely no need to turn your place into a medieval castle or a cave. A lot of people like using decorative stones in corners, arches, and doorways. But this only looks good in country houses.
10. Lots of soft toys on couches, beds, and shelves
A bunch of soft toys not only makes your place look messy, but it’s also a great way to collect dust mites.
11. Burned pots and pans
Even if you’re extremely careful, the bottoms of your pots may get burned. It’s important not to forget to remove these difficult stains.
12. Tumble dryers in the middle of the room
Not everyone has enough room for drying racks on their balconies but it doesn’t mean they should be in the middle of the room. Make sure you put away dry clothes and the dryer itself when you don’t need them.
13. Totally different flower pots
Different-looking pot holders (like a plastic cup for a cactus, a bucket for a palm tree, and a gnome-like pot) make the place look cluttered. If you can’t replace them, try decorating them yourself. You don’t need to spend a lot of money because the materials you need (fabrics and paint) are cheaper than new pots.
14. Burned oven gloves
Never neglect the condition of your oven gloves. The grease stains and burned holes don’t make apartments look very nice.
15. Old kitchen towels
Old, different-colored towels make the interior of your home look very cheap. It’s better to buy a set of identical towels that match the style of your kitchen.
16. Junk on the window sill
Window sills often act as additional shelves where a lot of different things get piled up, like books, toys, flowers, dishes, food, and more. Such window sills make the whole apartment look messy.
17. Cheap power outlets and switches
Many people think that these aren’t important details that don’t require a big investment. However, these are the kinds of details that create a certain mood. Trendy power outlets and switches instantly make the whole place seem elegant.
18. Wall calendars with different themes
Themed calendars are not always appropriate. A snowman in summer, a cute kitten in a business office, nude girls in living rooms, company logos in babies’ rooms — all of these examples are ridiculous. The only thing worse is a last year’s calendar still hanging on the wall.
19. Old dish drying racks
Dish drying racks are very hard to live without. But it’s better if the piles of plates, cups, and utensils aren’t visible to other people.
20. Mass market decor
The mass-market always targets large audiences which is why you should avoid it if you’re aiming for individuality. Furniture and decorative elements that are seen in almost every apartment become boring and these homes are anything but unique.
21. Pieces between the kitchen table and the wall
This thing that became popular at the beginning of the 2000s should be forgotten but it can still be found in many kitchens. However, the modern trend claims that there should be no space between the kitchen counters and the walls. The seam should be completely invisible.

brightside--2020-07-14--True-Life Stories That Will Explain, Once and for All, What Is More Important — Things or People

It was a black lacquer table , with an intricate carving .
His friend isn ’ t happy for some reason .
It seems like things are also more precious to her than people .

A complete indifference to existential problems and a pathological preoccupation with material things is written on the mom ’ s face .
It ’ s completely obvious that things are way more important to her than people .

These aren ’ t just things .

A guy comes to visit an acquaintance and sits on her bed wearing his street pants (jeans that haven’t been washed for a month, and the dude had been hitchhiking). His friend screams like a wounded bird. At first, the guy doesn’t understand what’s wrong at all. When he figures it out, he exclaims, “Things are more precious to you than people!” Another guy (this is a story from my life) helped his acquaintance with renovations. For example, he painted the windows. He doesn’t bother to lay down newspaper, and he has never even heard of masking tape. The glass gets covered with paint, and there is paint everywhere on the floor. His acquaintance is unhappy. The guy is offended — he came to the rescue and he worked hard! And she grumbles something about disgust, instead of thanking him. Things are more precious to her, than people.
Another guy comes to visit and throws his bag down on an antique table, which contained either a hammer or some kind of pick-axe. He had come straight from work. It was a black lacquer table, with an intricate carving. His friend isn’t happy for some reason. It seems like things are also more precious to her than people. A wife is nagging her husband: he pushed someone’s car out of a clay pit without taking off his cashmere coat. The wife doesn’t understand male fraternity and her husband’s strength. She also has her priorities wrong. She feels sorry for things, but doesn’t care about people. A daughter, who is a high-school student, changes her clothes and throws them right at her feet (she saw it in a movie, and this gesture looked gorgeous). Her mom sadly picks up her black silk shirt from the dusty floor. A complete indifference to existential problems and a pathological preoccupation with material things is written on the mom’s face. It’s completely obvious that things are way more important to her than people. “But these are just things,” these people say. “You can’t focus on them so much.”
No, my friends. These aren’t just things. Each one of these things costs more than your life means way more than you think. The guy just sat on the first thing he saw near him. But his friend will have to take this duvet cover off, wash it, dry it, and change the bed. She was actually going to spend some time reading, but you brought her a whole evening of mess and physical work as a present. He didn’t come empty-handed, so good job. The second guy painted the window, and it took him an hour. But he created 6 hours of work for his friend — she’ll have to spend time removing the paint from everything around. Yeah, he helped with the repairs so much. And about the guy who ruined the antique table, can you even imagine how much this table is worth? And how much is it worth now, with its dented look? And how much will the restoration cost? He took this money away from his friend with just one movement. And I’m not even talking about the fact that this table is ancestral or that it might hold significant meaning. And about the husband, who messed up his cashmere coat, the money that was spent on the coat could’ve been spent on his wife. Now, a new coat will be bought for him, and this means that his wife won’t get anything for herself again, she’ll have to manage without something. The mother who was picking up her daughter’s clothes from the dirty floor also bought them at the cost of some effort on her part. She earned them, paid for them with a piece of her life. And now, she will devote another piece of her life to organize her daughter’s things.
There is an old song about a vulgar, soulless, and wingless woman who obsesses over junk. And to us, who are inspired and sincere, human relationships are more important. Not all that material stuff. But, my friends, a person who doesn’t care about things, doesn’t care about people either. This is a fact.

Triangular eye movements. If you want someone to keep talking, look at one of their eyes, then the other, then the mouth. You can go on, around and around, forever and they won’t notice, it’ll look natural and like you’re paying attention. On the other hand, if you want them to shut up, just do the opposite triangle: eye-eye-forehead. They can’t really put a finger on it, but they’ll feel a little uncomfortable and won’t keep going on for too long. ©johnnielittleshoes

A US divorce analysis showed that almost half of couples break up due to unrealistic expectations. Misconceptions can arise because of the active work of hormones in the first period of relationships, or as psychologists say, the period of chemistry. This stage can make people blind, and only when it’s gone will they realize that their partner isn’t as ideal as they thought.
We at Bright Side decided to take a deep dive into the psychology of relationships and find out if there’s any love left after the passion is gone.
Statistics say chemistry in a relationship isn’t about love, it’s about passion and attraction.
During the study, scientists asked more than 300 people to answer the question of what chemistry in a relationship means to them. The results speak for themselves: only 9% of men and women associated this period with “love.” Answers like “biological reactions” and “mutual desire” were given about 3 times more.
You don’t know how you really feel about a person.
As it turns out, we can divide love into 3 distinct stages: lust, attraction, and attachment, according to Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University. The first phase, which we got used to calling “chemistry,” is nothing more than the work of estrogen and androgen, female and male hormones that are based on biological motivation for reproduction.
Afterward, it may turn out that the expectations of both partners were wrong.
Only later, when the hormones have calmed down, will you figure out how you actually feel about each other. You may decide that your partner isn’t as perfect as they seemed at the beginning. Perhaps your partner snores very loudly at night or doesn’t always look fresh and cool. But this doesn’t mean that you have to become demanding or that your partner will become worse.
You can keep the passion going for longer.
It’s possible to keep the passion in a relationship strong, even after the period of chemistry. Try to act like it’s one of your first meetings. Hold hands more often, focus on affectionate touch, and carve out time to spend with your partner — it should be simple but effective.

We at Bright Side support each person who would like to prolong their natural beauty and found 8 professional tips that can help you with this.
1. Perform facial exercises 3-5 times a week.
Nivea dermatologists recommend doing facial exercises. They say there are 5 benefits to doing them, which include: Strengthening the muscles of your face
Preventing and reducing wrinkles
Increasing blood circulation that betters the quality of your skin
Reducing tension in the face and neck so that your face looks more relaxed and less tired
Tightening the facial skin But you should remember that you won’t be able to see results quickly. To get the maximum effect, you need to do these exercises 3-5 times a week, for around 20 minutes each time.

Performing facial exercises lying down is the most effective way to do them and it gives faster results. You have to create resistance to build muscle fiber properly. This can be done best when you are lying down, lifting and holding your head in various ways. It doesn’t mean that when you are sitting up, facial yoga is not effective. It still works and you can do it whenever you don’t have a chance to lie down during the day.
3. Try to do your facial fitness routine at the same time every day.
Persistence is important in facial yoga. You need to do it every day to get better and faster results. But sometimes, we are so busy that we simply forget about it. You can set an alarm on your phone to remind you about your beauty procedures. Slowly this will become a habit. And that is exactly what we need.
4. Combine facial exercises with cardiovascular exercise.

Studies showed that oral supplements containing ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid can help to reduce sagging skin related to aging. Just consult with your doctor and follow the instructions for daily consumption.
7. Look for skin products containing 15% to 20% vitamin C.
Lack of vitamin C disrupts the body’s ability to produce collagen and this also leads to saggy cheeks. Products with this ingredient are very important for your skin, so add beauty products into your daily routine that contain 15% to 20% vitamin C. For example, this could be a facial serum that you can start your morning routine with.
8. Relax your neck during exercises.

There are actually only 2 age-related reasons for the sagging: loss of collagen and loss of facial fat, which causes the skin to droop. But dermatologist Fredric Brandt says that he sees many women who try to strengthen the muscles of their neck which eventually leads to the pulling down their facial skin.

Scientists discovered that most mammals are actually genetically more similar to their fathers .

We inherit mental health from our fathers.
Even though both parents can influence the future mental health of their children, fathers with schizophrenia, hyperactivity disorder, or attention deficit are more likely to pass these conditions to their children, according to a study published in JAMA Psychiatry.
Other researchers shared that dads have a higher chance of developing new mutations in their DNA as they produce new sperm and grow older (as opposed to women who have all of their eggs at birth). So there’s a possibility that rare genetic diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism can be inherited from fathers.
We inherit our smiles from our dads.
Tooth size and position, jaw shape, and more are all inherited from our parents, according to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. However, the scientists share that it’s possible for the father’s genes to be stronger. So when it comes to a smile, the father’s genes can determine if the teeth will have soft or sensitive enamel or if the mouth will be overcrowded.
We inherit height from our fathers.
Apparently, taller dads make taller babies, according to researchers from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Fathers appear to determine the future height of their children (as well as the length and the size of the fetus) but in contrast, don’t seem to affect the body shape or the weight of the child. In fact, mothers appear to influence how much body fat the children will have.
You can even inherit your father’s personality.
Researchers don’t exclude the influence genes have on the development of kids’ personalities, but the extent of this is still unknown. There’s evidence that genes can affect chemical messengers such as serotonin and dopamine, but again, researchers can’t state to what extent.
This might have an effect on the brain and influence personality traits based on depression, anxiety, or shyness, a study suggests.

Some people say that a rich person isn’t the one who has a lot, but the one who has enough. But even from this point of view, not everyone can say about themselves, “I’m rich.” It mostly happens that a person does their best to become rich, but fails. Sometimes, external circumstances interfere, but more often, the problem is with ourselves.
We at Bright Side tried to understand how rich people are different from others (except for the amount of money they have), and we found several obvious signs that can help determine that a person isn’t on the right path to make a fortune.
They buy things they can’t afford.
“If you can’t buy it twice, you can’t afford it” is a saying popularly attributed to musician and billionaire, Jay-Z, in an interview. This rule applies to all purchases except real estate. If the smartphone you are thinking about buying, which is equal to your monthly salary, suddenly gets broken, you’ll hardly be able to buy the same one the next day.
They’ve only heard about a safety cushion, but have never experienced it.
Having some money left that will help you live for a couple of months in an emergency situation is one of the signs of a person who has built up a good relationship with money. But a person who is forced to go into debt during any unexpected situation isn’t ready to get rich. You can follow the advice of Warren Buffett to build your savings, “Don’t save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.”
They buy pleasure on credit.
A vacation you paid for with a credit card is a clear sign that something is wrong with your finances. There’s no doubt that a person needs to take a break and relax from time to time, but going into debt for it is a bad idea, because you’ll have to pay off your debt for this vacation instead of saving money for the next one. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, advised that one should not spend their money before they have it. Although in his time, there were no credit cards, but there were still more than enough opportunities to go into debt.
They often throw away excess food.
If a person regularly throws out spoiled food in the trash, this means that they have a problem, even when it comes to planning their menu several days in advance. Products constitute a significant expense — in fact, you’re throwing your money away in the trash.
They’re afraid to take risks.
“How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts?” businessman Robert Allen once asked. If you continue doing what you’re already doing, you’ll get the same results. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend half of your salary on lottery tickets, and that the rest should be invested in dubious stocks. But avoiding any risks and hoping to spend your whole life in a comfort zone is one of the best ways to not get rich.
They don’t learn new things.
The world is changing at an incredible rate, and you have to run just to stay in place. If you regularly don’t spend time and money on acquiring and improving your professional skills, in the best case scenario, you’ll be able to maintain your current income level, but you’ll have to forget about wealth. When Elon Musk was asked how he learned to build rockets, he said, “I read books.”
They relax wrong.
Writer and salesman, Zig Ziglar, once said, “Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.” There are activities that are considered recreational but, in fact, they just waste your time like computer games, entertaining videos, scrolling through social networks, and hanging out in bars. These activities may be a sign that you’re not interested in your life.
They spend their free time on household chores.
Cleaning and cooking are activities that are hard to avoid, but it’s wrong to spend too much time on them. There are only 24 hours in a day, and after sleep and going to work, you have only 5-6 free hours at best. If you spend them on dusting, making soup, and roasting chicken, there’ll be no time left to improve your life. And when our time is worth more than the services of professionals, it’s more profitable to delegate household chores to them.
They don’t try to earn more.
Not everyone has the opportunity to completely change their line of work and start to earn more at the same time, but even people with the same occupation can have salaries that are starkly different from each other. And if your salary isn’t among the highest in your professional field, you may be doing something wrong. The CEOs of big companies assure that they’re ready to meet their employees’ demands if they have a compelling enough argument.
They don’t control their money.
Business coach, Jaime Tardy, believes that “the primary difference with wealthy people is that they’re in control of their money, and they don’t let money control them.” If you don’t care how much money will stay in your wallet after you go shopping, you and wealth might not be good together.
