How often you need to get your nails done Some people think that you can ’ t keep gel polish on for more than 14 days .

Lubov Martynova is an expert nail artist with a lot of experience. She has a blog where she shares the secrets of taking care of your nails and reveals interesting things about the industry in general.
We think that many of the Bright Side readers will find these nail secrets very useful.
How often you need to get your nails done
Some people think that you can’t keep gel polish on for more than 14 days. Others are convinced that this coverage is like tank armor and you can keep it on for as long as you want. The general recommendation (depending on the manufacturer of the polish) is 14 days. But I think the optimal time is about 3 weeks.

After the procedure, I told her again that she’d had the previous polish on for too long and that the new cover would not work well. She said she understood that. But a few days later, she sent this picture:
When you can’t see an artist and it’s been 4+ weeks since your last visit, just use a nail file to carefully shape your nails. Don’t try to remove the polish on your own and get yourself an appointment as soon as possible.
How to take care of your manicure at home
To make sure your nails are healthy, you need to have regular procedures. Use hand oils and creams , especially in the fall and winter when your skin gets very little moisture.

to protect your nails from detergents. Drink more water and take vitamins.
Why you might feel uncomfortable using an LED lamp
You have most likely had unpleasant sensations while drying your polish under a LED lamp. Very often, artists say that you are too sensitive, but this is not always the reason. You may feel a burning sensation because the artist put on too much base layer. Another reason may be that when they removed the previous polish, the layer of the previous base was too thin (it should be about 5-10 %). If you have a burning sensation that is very uncomfortable, take your hand out right away. Wait for your nails to cool down (this should take about 3-4 seconds) and put your hand back in again. Important: When you take your hands out, don’t turn them because the base layer might get deformed.

In my own experience, it all depends on the nails. If they look healthy and not too thin, you don’t need a break. Just make sure you change your polish often enough. If your nails are thin, you need to see an artist and remove the polish correctly (without using the special liquid that dries both the nails and the skin around them). After that, don’t use gel polish for 2-3 months, to give the nails enough time to heal. During this healing, you can use special treatment polishes and cuticle oil.
How to sanitize tools efficiently
I follow a very important rule: the number of manicure toolsets has to be the same as or bigger than the number of people I can see in a day. In my case, this means 6. Otherwise, there is just no time to sanitize all my tools. I use an ultra-sound bath. I put in the disinfecting solution and put the tools in for 15 minutes. Many nail artists only do this, but I’m also a fan of disinfection. So, after that, I also use a milling cutter. After the solution and the cutter, I put all the tools into a bag and put the bag into a 180°С sterilizer for thermal disinfection. The bag itself should only be opened in the presence of the client, who can see that everything is safe.
Is it easy to do a manicure for men?
In fact, working with men is very easy. They sit quietly because they feel awkward, then they just say “thank you” and leave.
A day in the life of a nail artist
My first client is usually at 10 am. And every client takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. If I can do it faster, I will have some extra break time. But sometimes, I’m still working with the first client when the second one comes in, which means I don’t have any time to rest at all. I have about 4-5 clients a day (which is 10-12 hours of work). I’m usually completely free at about 10 pm or a bit later.
Why nail artists don’t like certain clients
Because I have a lot of clients, it may be a bit uncomfortable when a client comes 20 minutes before the appointment. I’m almost never free, so they just have to sit on the couch and watch TV.
Some women come with their children, friends, or husbands. If this happens, they also have to wait.
I hate it when people ask to reschedule their appointments. I understand that anything can happen, but when the same client asks to reschedule several times, this is really annoying. It usually means she is not coming at all.
Sometimes, clients ask to change places with other clients. So I have to call everyone and ask them if they are ready to switch places with a person they don’t know.
Sometimes, clients start asking me how much I earn. Do you really think I can tell you the truth?
How nail artists may be telling you that they want a tip
Once, I was on Instagram and I saw some stories there. My colleague talked about how to hint to a client that you want tips. The colleague just “forgot” several bills on the work table. It worked like this: the artist would come to the workspace with a new client and say, “Oh, the previous client left this as a thank you. So nice of her!” Many clients fell for this manipulation and also gave her tips. Nobody wants to feel worse than other people. By the way, some people in the comment section said that this trick was also used by taxi drivers.

A woman I know (Mary) went to a beauty salon for a manicure before an important business meeting.

The artist was then free and invited Mary over to their station. The job was done fast and very well. Mary said that she even forgot she had to wait. But the receptionist didn’t and said, “It’s $25 for the manicure and $3 for the coffee.” Mary was shocked. Of course, she didn’t make a scene and just paid the money, but what if she didn’t bring enough money for the coffee? Would they make her wait for her husband to bring the money? Any good salon should offer free tea and coffee.

It’s quite common to notice strange behavior in our pets. But sometimes habits that look harmless and adorable may be a sign of a bigger health issue. One example is “head-pressing” which may not appear to be dangerous at first glance but could indicate a more serious health problem in your pet.
We at Bright Side care about your pets’ well-being and we want to give you more information about this condition, the reasons why it may occur, and what you can do to help your 4-legged companions.
The definition of “head-pressing”
It’s a compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other flat surface for no apparent reason. This behavior is usually ignored but behind this condition, there are different causes which we will talk about later. One of the most notable effects of this behavior is an injury, either on the feet, face or head of the animal.
1. Brain disorders
This means that your pet may be having inflammation in the brain. Young and middle-aged dogs tend to be diagnosed with this disease more than older dogs do. The condition is less common in cats. Some of the symptoms consist of seizures, disorientation, unusual behavior, low energy, loss of balance, and sometimes fever.
2. Metabolic disorder
A metabolic disorder may be present in some specific organ or it may be a systematic disease that is affecting the health of your little 4-legged companion. Such problems can be hereditary, due to the breed or age. In both dogs and cats, the most common side effects are diabetes and hypothyroidism.
3. Head injury
Head trauma can occur in your pets when they receive a blow to the head or go through a car accident. These problems are divided into 2 categories: primary and secondary. The primary occurs at the same time as the trauma, leaving direct and irreversible damage to the animal’s brain. On the other hand, the latter occurs minutes after the trauma, due to the physical and biochemical combination that leads to intracranial hypertension.
4. Liver problems
The main function of the liver is to remove any substance from the blood that’s harmful to the body. When it comes to your pet, a problem with this organ can be very dangerous. There are different diseases, infections, medications, and chemicals that can harm the liver. In dogs, the most common effects are hepatitis, diabetes, or Cushing’s syndrome. And in cats, fatty liver disease, infectious peritonitis, and feline leukemia can also be associated with liver disease.
5. Nervous system disorder
Some of the most obvious symptoms that reveal your pet has neurological problems are paralysis, tremors, or seizures. These types of problems come from the central or peripheral nervous system and the most affected areas are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves due to poisoning, nutritional deficiencies, or inherited disorders. You may notice that your pet has an infection in its nervous system if they have trouble seeing, urinating, or blinking — or, of course, if they rest their head on some surface.
6. Brain tumor
First of all, a brain tumor is a mass that is created in the brain. These tumors can either be primary, which derive from the brain’s own cells, or secondary, which are created in other parts of the body and extend to the brain. It’s quite common for these tumors to occur in older cats and dogs, and can be noticed when the animal has trouble thinking, walking, being active, or breathing; is in physical pain, or has poor balance.
7. Exposure to toxins
Another reason why your dog or cat may be resting its head on some surface is because it’s intoxicated. There can be multiple reasons for this problem, such as the intake of human food, or medicine, or by chemicals such as bait for rodents, plants, or garden products.
Bonus: how to help your pet
If you notice a strange change in your pet’s behavior, the first thing you should do is visit a vet. Subsequently, the process of diagnosing the cause of why your little 4-legged friend is behaving like that will begin — that is, if it’s from intoxication, a tumor, metabolic problems, etc. Together, you and your vet will be able to decide how to help your pet through the corresponding treatment. The recovery will depend on the cause, but the most important thing is to follow the medical instructions and let your dog or cat rest and eat.

Not all flowers are supposed to be enjoyed during the day. Some of them can add a special touch to your whole gardening experience after the sun goes down. These flowers, like the chocolate-scented daisy or the moonflower, show their beauty at night, and we’re afraid you may lose sleep over it.
Have a look at some of the most stunning night-blooming flowers Bright Side has found, so you can also create a spellbinding landscape on your doorstep.
1. Mock Orange
These flowers have a soft citrus scent that attracts butterflies and insects, a perfect flower for all the pollinating wildlife. In 1931 it was made the state flower of Idaho.
2. Moonflower
If you are quick enough, you can see this flower bloom right in front of your eyes. This is because it takes them only a few minutes to open at the end of the day, giving you a beautiful show.
3. Antares Night Blooming Waterlily
If you have a pond the night-blooming lily is a great plant for your garden. However they can spread out anywhere from 2 ft to12 ft, so make sure your pond is big enough before planting them.
4. Pulmonaria
These flowers are also known as "raspberry splash" because of their colorful pinks and purples, which makes them stand out from other plants. These flowers are also ideal for those of you with a more shaded garden.
5. Evening Primrose
The name of this flower originally means "first rose" of the year, even though it is not from the rose family. This is because it is often the sign of early spring as it blooms in the first months of the year.
6. Adam's Needle
If you prefer a low-maintenance garden then this is an ideal flower for you. It survives in dry and poor soil, is heat tolerant, salt tolerant, and is rabbit and deer resistant.
7. 4-o'clocks
The name of this flower comes from the fact that they open in the late afternoon until early the next morning. They are native to Mexico and are believed to have been cultivated by the Aztecs for medical and decorative purposes.
8. Night Gladiolus
Its name comes from the Latin word meaning "sword," and Roman gladiators are thought to have worn these flowers around their necks to help them win during battles.
9. Nottingham Catchfly
This flower got its name because it was originally found growing on the walls of historic Nottingham Castle in England.
10. Cape Jasmin
This flower is part of the larger jasmine family of flowers and it is the national flower of both Indonesia and the Philippines.
11. Night Phlox
This flower is also known as Midnight Candy. If you are planning on creating a moon garden, then these flowers will perfectly complement the scents of angel's trumpets and 4-o'clocks.
12. Night-Scented Stock
Although it doesn't appear to be, this flower is actually part of the plant family that also produces cabbage, broccoli, and mustard.
13. Night-Scented Orchid
There are more than 25,000 orchid species across the world, with more and more being discovered every year. Sadly this orchid, in particular, is scarce across much of the world and is listed as endangered in Florida, making it a rare beauty.
14. Tuberose
These flowers not only bring elegance to a garden, but you can also eat parts of them as they are often used in vegetable soups.
15. Flowering Tobacco
These tobacco plants are not only gorgeous for you to look at, but they can also benefit the wildlife visiting your garden. Both hummingbirds and giant moths are attracted to their fragrance, making them perfect for nature lovers.
16. Brugmansia
These flowers are often known as the angle's trumpet, and they are not to be confused with the devil's trumpet. The main difference is that brugmansia's hang down toward the earth and the devil's trumpet stands upright toward the sky.
17. Bleeding Heart
If you are struggling with deer or rabbits in your garden, you will be happy to hear that these flowers are resistant to them. These 2 animals will turn their noses up at this plant, unless they are particularly hungry.
18. Chocolate-Scented Daisy
These flowers are a conversation starter with their chocolate smell, ideal for all the chocoholics out there. This also means that they may attract many visitors to your garden, like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
19. Easter-Lily Cactus
You'll need to be a little patient with this night-blooming cactus flower, because the flowers only last a few days in the spring. The flowers are known for their strong scent and their beautiful colors, definitely not to be missed!
20. Dragon Fruit Flower
Known for its fruits, this plant also beautifully blossoms, but you had better be quick because the blossom is only open for one night. If you are living somewhere with sunshine and warm temperatures, then this plant may do very well.

The bond between mother and child is the most intense in human nature. Bringing a child into the world causes resounding changes in the life of the woman, who will no longer be the same. And, beyond the joy and happiness that can mean carrying a new human being in your belly, there is something fundamental to this new role: responsibility. And we are not just talking about parenting and education. It starts with protecting the health of your child during pregnancy.
We at Bright Side would like to share a study with you that suggests there is a connection between maternal obesity during pregnancy and problems with the child’s future intellectual development. However, we should remind you that you should always consult with your doctor about anything that has to do with your child’s development.
Obesity during pregnancy
The weight of a woman during pregnancy is usually a cause for concern for both her and her obstetrician. It is necessary that the weight increase is gradual and is within the healthy limits for each gestation period. Among the complications that obesity can cause in women during pregnancy, are high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes.
You can find out if you are overweight or obese by using a table that measures body mass index (BMI).
Obesity and pregnancy risks
When a pregnant woman gains too much weight, it is often believed that only her health will be compromised. That is to say: we do not take into account that this is a problem that can also affect the baby. Pre-eclampsia, for example, can be risky for pregnancy. Although it is normal for mothers with this condition to give birth without complications, there is a risk of premature birth or, in certain cases, miscarriage. A team of specialists from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and the University of Texas published a study at BMC Pediatrics, in which they associated a mother’s obesity during pregnancy with some difficulties in the subsequent development of their children.
The study
The team of epidemiologists, nutritionists, and environmental health researchers studied 368 mothers and their children, both during pregnancy and when the children were 3 and 7 years old. The 368 cases chosen belonged to members of the same economic and social rank. The ethnicity, marital status, level of education, and IQ of the mothers were taken into account. Attention was also paid to the gestation period in which the baby was born and the environmental conditions to which it was exposed. When the children were 3 years old, tests were done to assess their response to the environment and their social relations. Other tests were performed again 4 years later, when they turned 7 to check their verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
Results
When the children were re-examined at age 7, it was discovered that the male children of mothers who had been overweight or obese during pregnancy had a lower IQ than those born to women who had had a normal weight. That difference was 5 points or more and it only occurred in men.
Conclusions
It should be clarified that although the study found a connection between maternal obesity during pregnancy and problems in the aforementioned children, it was not possible to determine the reason or reasons why this occurs. On the other hand, the study considered the environment of each child and found that the impact of maternal obesity during pregnancy on a child’s IQ was lower or non-existent when they had grown up in a cozy home, where they received stimuli for playing and learning.
Do you know how much weight your mother gained when she was pregnant with you? If you have been pregnant, what was your weight gain experience? Please share with us in the comments.

We went to the store and parked our car under a tree. While we were in the store, some birds who were hanging out in the tree left some “presents” on the roof and the hood of our car. Because of this, I had to go to the car wash. After washing it, my son looked at the car and said,

Life experience can tell us a lot about one of the deepest and most vivid emotions: love. Though it might seem hard to keep it going throughout the years, it’s still possible if you keep in mind some simple rules. And the couples who’ve been together for decades and followed them simply proved to everyone that it’s real.
Bright Side carefully noted this precious advice from couples who’ve been together for a lifetime and we’re ready to pass it down to our readers. Time to learn something new!
Always be a team.
You have to work together whether a situation is good or bad. This also means that your viewpoint needs to change — you need to see everything as a couple, not as individuals.
Keep having fun.
Sharing a good laugh helps you get through life’s tough situations and keeps the relationship strong. Keep finding reasons to have fun but don’t make offensive jokes about each other.
Arguments are normal.
Moments of tension will inevitably happen. You have to learn how to understand your partner’s point of view, analyze and accept it. Don’t let your anger spoil a good relationship — respect is necessary.
Leave your comfort zone.
Try to find challenging activities to do together, something you’ve never done before, or something that amazes you. This makes the bond between you stronger and keeps that special spark alive.
Physical attraction is just as important.
Inner beauty is powerful, but finding your partner’s body attractive does just as much. You don’t have to be supermodels, but staying healthy and trying to look good for each other as much as you can go a long way.
Diamonds aren’t important.
Receiving all kinds of presents from your partner is surely pleasant. However, price doesn’t matter when it comes from a pure heart and best intentions. Things are things — but feelings are priceless.
It’s good to be a bit old-fashioned.
Before you start a serious relationship, ask yourself some questions like, “Can they provide for the family?” or “Can they be a good parent?” and other things that you find important. After all, your future will depend on them and you need to know the likely outcome.
Your friends aren’t the best judges.
Don’t seek your friends’ approval of your partner. They have their own opinions and views on life. Instead, listen to yourself and your gut feeling.
Take care of each other.
Loving someone is giving away a piece of yourself — it’s taking care of the ones who are precious to you. Caring is less about being possessive and demanding of love, but rather, it’s more realistic and compassionate.

How to bring a rumpled hat back to life, get rid of pills without the help of special equipment, and prevent buttons from falling off your clothes are all things you can achieve easily. Effective life hacks like these will save you time, money and nerves.
1. Put ice cubes into the dryer to remove wrinkles.
Put a couple of ice cubes into the dryer and set it on medium mode for about 15 minutes. The ice cubes will melt and turn into steam which will help remove any wrinkles from your clothing. Alternatively, you can put a damp sock into the dryer along with the wrinkled clothing.
2. Get rid of pills on your clothing with a razor.
Grab one of your razors from the shower along with some masking tape. Be sure to do this slowly so you don’t accidentally slice a hole in your clothing. 1. Wash the garment. 2. Shave parts containing pills. 3. Use a lint roller or tape to pick up the pilling.
3. Use steam to return the shape to your hat without using any special equipment.
Take a small pan and boil water in it. Make the fire small and put a cap or hat on top of the pan. The steam will gradually straighten the creases and return the shape to the hat.
4. Restore faded clothing with salt.
Add 1/2 cup (150 g) of salt to the wash cycle. Once you’ve placed your clothes and detergent in the washing machine, pour about 1/2 cup (150 g) of salt into the drum. In addition to restoring colors, it can also help prevent new clothes from fading in the first place. You can add salt to every load of laundry if you’d like. Regular table salt or ultra-fine pickling salt works well for this, but avoid coarse-ground sea salt as it may not dissolve fully in the washing machine. Salt is also an effective stain remover, especially with blood, mildew, and sweat stains.
5. Use bluing agents for white clothes to restore their original whiteness.
Household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is often used as a laundry booster or whitener. However, its chemical makeup can often make white clothes turn yellow. Laundry bluing is an old trick to get yellowed or greyed whites to appear brighter. Bluing adds a very slight trace of blue dye to the fabric, making it appear more white.
6. Button and zip your clothes before washing them.
Take a few extra moments before you throw everything into the hamper or washing machine to zip and button your clothes. This prevents closures from catching on other clothing and keeps buttons from pulling or loosening. If you don’t, you run the risk of catching, pulling or tearing fabric, damaging the locking mechanism, and pulling buttons during washing.
7. Use dental floss to make your buttons hold longer.
If you want to prevent your buttons from falling off, just stitch them with dental floss. It’s a good trick, especially for buttons that get heavy wear.
8. Remove odor from shoes with baking soda.
Measure out at least 1 tablespoon of baking soda into each shoe. You need to use enough baking soda to cover the entire insole of the shoe. If you have big shoes, you may need to use more than 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
9. Use hair straighteners to iron shirt collars.
If even after ironing, your collar does not look perfect, then a hair straightener will fix it. It’s also a good life hack when you’re in a hurry and you don’t have time to get an ironing board out. Just be careful not to burn the fabric.
10. Unshrink cotton with baby shampoo.
Cotton is perhaps the easiest mistake to fix due to its easily manipulated qualities. All you need is baby shampoo. Place your clothes inside your sink or a bowl and fill it with lukewarm water. Add 2 tablespoons of your shampoo or conditioner. Let it soak for 30 minutes. Place the clothing flat on a towel and roll it up so that it’s damp. Then, carefully unroll your garment and lay it flat to dry.
