There’s no need to go to another galaxy to feel the excitement of an explorer who meets new outlandish creatures. All you really need to do is look closer at our planet’s fauna. Nature never stops developing and we’re still unaware of many of evolution’s novelties. However, the things that we already know amuse and stun the imagination. For example, there’s a platypus that’s actually venomous, who doesn’t have a stomach. And that’s just one thing off the loaded list of this creature’s weird features.
We at Bright Side have a strong desire to learn more about the wonders of the animal world and hope that what we’ve found will astonish you as they did us.
Some zoos give their visitors glasses like these. They’re designed to imitate a side glance and not provoke feelings of hostility among gorillas.
These primates perceive a straight forward look to be a threat. In 2007, a gorilla named Bokito escaped from the Rotterdam Zoo and attacked a visitor who was looking straight into its eyes. That’s why the DDB company created these glasses known as Bokito Viewers.
Prairie dogs kiss in order to greet each other and find out whether everything is okay or not.
Stoats often hunt for prey several times bigger than themselves and can eat, daily, the amount of food that equals one-quarter of their body mass.
Notothenioidei fish live in Antarctic waters that are so cold, other fish are unable to live in such conditions.
This is all in thanks to an anti-freeze protein that helps them cope with lethal hypothermia — it doesn’t let ice crystals form in their blood.
Arctic hares are the largest hares in Northern America. They have ears that are too short in relation to their body size.
Thanks to these ears, they decrease the release of precious heat in order to survive in harsh conditions.
The Periophthalmus is a type of fish that can get themselves food in silt during low tides and can even climb trees.
Bar-headed geese can reach enormous heights — up to 21,120 feet!
At the same time, these birds control their body temperature and, if necessary, can change the chemical composition of their blood in order to survive freezing, thin air conditions.
Japanese researchers have found out that whale shark eyes are covered with teeth.
They’re able to draw their eyes deep into their eye sockets while their eyeballs are covered with about 3,000 small teeth.
White sharks can be attracted to the sounds of death metal music with the help of a couple of underwater loudspeakers.
The Alpine Swift can stay up in the air for more than half a year without landing.
Ghost crabs use teeth in their stomachs to growl and frighten off their enemies.
Here’s another mystery: There are moss balls migrating across the Arctic that are driven by some unknown external force.
A 4-year observation study revealed that the average distance of these balls’ movements is about 1 inch per day. They move with a certain speed in one direction. It’s still unknown what makes them move and why.
Turns out, ducks like to surf. They do it to catch more crustaceans.
This is a South Asian river dolphin, also known as a shushuk. It’s almost blind and navigates in space with the help of echolocation.
Have you ever pondered why crocodiles’ teeth are so white? They change up to 50 times in a lifetime.
This brittle star is known as the Ophiuroidea. It appeared about 500 million years ago.
The Ophiuroidea, meaning serpent, may reach up to 60 cm (24 in) in length and each of its “hands” has its own spine.
This platypus won the jackpot in the animal world thanks to its high number of weird features.
It has thorny, poisonous spurs.
It has no stomach — food from the esophagus immediately enters the intestines.
It has teeth in its beak, as well as bags where the animal hides food, like a hamster.
The platypus is a mammal but it hatches from eggs.
Its sight, smell, and hearing are useless underwater, which is why the skin of its beak is equipped with sensitive cells that provide the platypus with the ability for electroception.
Do you think the features described above bring more benefits or harm to their owners? If you could have any of these features, which ones would you choose?

But there are also celebs who prefer to stay away from luxury and it’s those very people that we’re going to talk about in our article.
Bright Side is going to tell you about some very talented and wealthy people who choose to have a more modest lifestyle.
1. Mick Jagger
Here is what Mick Jagger says about wealth: “Those of us brought up in the ’50s were taught to be frugal. We don’t like throwing computers away as soon as they don’t work — apart from out the window in frustration. We like cars to be repaired instead of junked. We’re not brought up like Puff Daddy to be taking 30 free-loading friends to the south of France and spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on crystal. The truth is, most English people, whether they’re rich or not so rich, just don’t behave like that.”
2. Mark Ruffalo

The actor decided to raise his kids in a quiet, calm place and says, “It’s pretty much a blue-collar community, a farming community. I wanted my children to have that experience.” He also likes the fact that he’s treated like everyone else in Callicoon — no favoritism or anything like that.
3. Shailene Woodley
This charming girl is both practical and down-to-earth. At the age of 10, the future celebrity worked as a babysitter and tried to earn her own money for traveling with friends and visiting the movies. Woodley considers this experience an important step to growing up. “It helped me as a young person with my sense of freedom. It wasn’t that I ever felt like I needed a lot of money,” the actress said. Woodley gives preference to traveling and gaining new experiences rather than buying brand-name clothes and visiting expensive restaurants.
4. Ed Sheeran
The singer likes to wear comfortable, simple clothes in his everyday life and on stage. He appears in jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes on huge stages. Once, Sheeran bought 200 DVDs on Amazon during a sale. He even uses taxis and rides the metro in Los Angeles and London.
5. Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria has nothing in common with her character from Desperate Housewives, Gabrielle. This girl from Texas grew up alongside her 3 sisters on a ranch.

Both Mendez and Gosling try to protect their kids from the public and don’t have big celebrations and invite celebrities over on their kids’ birthdays. It’s their parents who help them with raising their kids, not specially trained nannies.
7. Ashley Greene
“I’m lucky because my dad taught me to be frugal and save. And that’s important because I want to know that I don’t have to take an acting job for 2 or 3 years if I don’t want to and that I’ll still be able to make my house and car payments and buy food for my dogs.” That’s what the star of Twilight says about her life position.

But what would the series be without those characters who were part of the story, but who weren’t the stars of the show? What would have happened without Emily, who would Ross have called Rachel at the wedding? Or what would have happened without Richard and his influence on the relationship between Chandler and Monica?
Bright Side brings you the most influential supporting characters of the series. You will find out what they have been doing after the show and how they have changed in looks over the years.
1. Jane Sibbett (Carol Willick)
One of the most well-known roles in her acting career was without any doubt that of Carol, Ross’ first wife (of the many he had!), who leaves him when she falls in love with her friend Susan (played by Jessica Hecht). She is a recurring character in the series, since she has a son (little Ben) with Ross. Besides Friends, Sibbett has worked on Herman’s Head and It Takes Two, alongside the Olsen twins, among other films. She is actually still close to Jessica and they have given online yoga classes together.
2. Jessica Hecht (Susan Bunch)
Carol and Susan are a great couple and are very popular among Friends fans (besides, if they hadn’t met, Ross would probably still be married to Carol and there wouldn’t be a Ross and Rachel, right?). Jessica went on to pursue an ambitious acting career. She took part in films like Whatever Works, directed by Woody Allen, and Dan in Real Life where she worked with Steve Carell. She also appeared in series like Breaking Bad, where she played Gretchen Schwartz. But maybe you didn’t know it was her, since it’s hard to recognize her without the distinctive curls she wore in Friends.
3. Cole Sprouse (Ben Geller)
Oh, look at how much Ben has grown? For many of us, he’s still that little boy who loved to play pranks that he learned from “Aunt Rachel” and for whom Ross dresses up as an armadillo to explain what Hanukkah is all about. Cole actually has a twin brother named Dylan. Together they starred in a TV show called The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Currently, he’s playing Jughead Jones on Riverdale, a TV series that combines drama and mystery.
4. James Michael Tyler (Gunther)
Gunther is the recurring character who has the most appearances in the series, aside from the main characters. He won everyone’s affection because of his great and unrequited love for Rachel. In fact, that love once led him to buy a cat that Rachel no longer wanted, and to buy all of Ross’ furniture when he had to get rid of it at Emily’s request (Remember? She wanted Ross to get rid of everything that Rachel had touched!). James had worked in cafés before, and even though he started out as just another extra, he was chosen for the role because he was the only one who knew how to work an espresso machine. As for his acting career, he has appeared in a number of TV series, including Episodes, a series starring Matt LeBlanc (the actor who played Joey).
5. Maggie Wheeler (Janice)
Oh, my God! How many times have we laughed with Janice and her recurring punchline throughout the series? She’s definitely one of the most charismatic characters in Friends. Both her line and her laugh are an irreplaceable part of the series. Since Friends, she has appeared in several movies and series, always in supporting roles. If you’ve seen The Parent Trap, then you’ve seen Maggie Wheeler on the big screen. She played Marva Kulp Jr., one of the camp counselors who is best remembered for that scene involving a fencing battle or when she and her mother fall into the trap that Hallie had set for Annie in her room. Aside from acting, Wheeler is passionate about music. She currently directs a choir in Los Angeles called The Golden Bridge Choir.
6. Mitchell Whitfield (Barry)
Barry was left at the altar by Rachel, as we learned in the first chapter of Friends. Without a doubt he is a very influential character in the history of the series, especially in the first seasons. Of course, he then pops up again on several occasions, like when he marries Mindy, one of Rachel’s closest friends from her teenage years. Rachel, who’s a bridesmaid at her wedding, has to see the whole family again of the man she stood up at the very same church a few years back. You might remember that the episode in question doesn’t end very well... Anyway, besides Friends, Whitfield frequently works on series and in movies as a voice actor.
7. Cosimo Fusco (Paolo)
Cosimo played the charming Paolo, an Italian stud that Rachel met during a power failure where they fell in love. It’s no wonder he got Ross so upset. Cosimo is actually Italian and lives in Rome, although he does speak English, unlike his character in the series. His most recent work includes the Spanish series 30 Coins, directed by Álex de la Iglesia for HBO.
8. Larry Hankin (Mr. Heckles)
In addition to being an actor, Hankin is a writer, producer, director, and singer. He played the role of Old Joe in Breaking Bad, both in the series and in the movie. And even though he has a great career in the film world, he admits that Friends was the gig that brought him the most recognition and fame. Besides, he had been there since the beginning of the series and he saw how the series continually grew, as well as how the main characters evolved over the years.
9. Hank Azaria (David)
Unlike the others, Hank is actually not very well known for his role in Friends. Instead, his most defining role was the voice over for several Simpsons characters, like Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, among others. While we love his vocal work, we remember him as David, the scientist and Phoebe’s love of her life that could somehow never be (and when it could, it was too late).
10. Mike Hagerty (Mr. Treeger)
Also known as Michael Gerard Hagerty, he played Mr. Treeger, the superintendent of the building where Monica, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler lived. Besides Friends, Mike has played many supporting roles in successful series, like Seinfeld, Grey’s Anatomy and Glee.
11. Tom Selleck (Richard Burke)
Tom is a famous actor who is the winner of a Golden Globe and an Emmy. He jumped to fame after starring in the series Magnum P.I. In fact, he’s worked in so many series and films that people don’t automatically think of him as Richard from Friends. But his part was still important: he was the man that Monica fell head over heels for, but their relationship didn’t work out because he didn’t want to have children (and by the time he wanted to pursue that life with Monica, it was too late). However, he is a very beloved character and there will always be a debate between fans who believe that Monica should have stayed with him instead of Chandler and those who prefer Chandler’s nonchalance. All in all, the world might stop turning, but his mustache will always remain intact!
12. Steven Eckholdt (Mark Robinson)
How could we forget about Mark? This is actually the character who changed everything in the series forever when Rachel gets her first job that she really likes at Bloomingdale’s. Of course, he’s the main reason behind Ross and Rachel’s first breakup, because of how jealous Ross gets when he’s around. But that’s not the last game changer he introduces into the series. In the least season, he comes back and actually offers Rachel a new job in Paris... And the rest is history! Eckholdt has worked on other series and films, but Mark remains his most popular TV character.
13. Tate Donovan (Joshua Bergin)
Jennifer Aniston and Tate Donovan were actually a couple and by the time they were working together on Friends, they were in the middle of a breakup. Poor things! Imagine having to work with your ex on a daily basis and if that wasn’t enough, having to act like you’re in love with him. Talk about professionalism!
14. Helen Baxendale (Emily Waltham)
Baxendale is British, like her character, and is also known for playing Rachel Bradley in Cold Feet. However, she has decided to move away from fame and focus entirely on her family.
15. Elle Macpherson (Janine Lecroix)
We don’t remember seeing Joey fall in love many times during Friends, but one of the few times he claimed to have found the apple of his eye, was when Janine arrived. She was Joey’s roommate when Chandler moved in with Monica. Macpherson is Australian, just like her character. She’s an internationally acclaimed supermodel, and in March this year she turned 56. No doubt she still has it!
16. June Gable (Estelle Leonard)
Estelle was the talent agent handling Joey’s career. She might have had a slightly weird look and more than a few sketchy tips, but screenwriters and producers made her a unique character that was loved by all Friends fans. Gable went on to play in TV shows and films like Adam Sandler’s The Week Of, but she was already a successful Broadway actor before appearing in Friends.
17. Lauren Tom (Julie)
After her brief, but intense, appearance on Friends as Ross’ boyfriend, Lauren Tom continued working as a voice actor for well-known cartoons like Futurama, where she does the voice for Amy and Inez Wong.
18. Jon Favreau (Pete Becker)
Who hasn’t dreamed of having an extremely rich boyfriend? That guy was Pete, Monica’s former boyfriend during season 3. On their first date, they went to a romantic Italian restaurant... in Rome! He even bought her a restaurant where she could become the chef she always wanted to be. Favreau, besides acting, is a renowned producer who has worked on films like The Lion King (2019) and The Avengers franchise.
19. Alexandra Holden (Elizabeth Stevens)
Elizabeth was Ross’ girlfriend during season 6. She was often the subject of heated debate and jokes among the group because of the age difference between Ross and her. And the cherry on top: not only was she way younger, but she was also a student of Ross’s at the university he taught at. The relationship doesn’t end well, but we still fondly remember how Elizabeth got Ross to go on spring break with her and some other students.
20. Noelle and Cali Sheldon (Emma Geller-Green)
Noelle and Cali, twin sisters, were famous before they even realized it. They were barely one year old when they were playing the beautiful Emma, daughter of Ross and Rachel. After Friends, they worked on a few short films together.
21. Paul Rudd (Michael “Mike” Hannigan)
The best part of the love story between Mike and Phoebe is how they meet: Joey was supposed to introduce Phoebe to someone, but he totally forgets about it. When their double date starts, Joey improvises and claims to know, Mike. Of course, he didn’t have a friend by that name, so he starts yelling “Mike!” in the restaurant and that’s when Paul Rudd enters the scene. Besides Friends, Rudd has had a successful career as a comedian and now he is well-known for playing Ant-Man (Scott Lang) in The Avengers franchise.
22. Aisha Tyler (Charlie Wheeler)
Charlie started out dating Joey, but ended up dating Ross, as part of a huge love triangle (or actually square) that leads to a brief romance between Joey and Rachel. The “dinosaur girl,” as Phoebe nicknamed her, ended up leaving Ross for her ex-boyfriend. Tyler, besides playing Charlie, is known for appearing in Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, among many other series and films.
Bonus: The parents
1. Elliott Gould (Jack Geller)
We remember Jack fondly, his innocent comments and dad jokes, the way he called Monica “My Little Harmonica,” or the steamy relationship with his wife that bothered their children more than once (and with reason). Gould has a great career in the world of series and films. He worked again with Marta Kauffman (co-creator and executive producer of Friends) in Grace and Frankie, where Lisa Kudrow also makes guest appearances.
2. Christina Pickles (Judy Geller)
Judy had a very obvious preference for Ross, that was especially clear when she constantly pointed out that Monica was not yet married. Christina is an Emmy Award winning, successful actress with a great career.
3. Marlo Thomas (Sandra Green)
We love Sandra, a character that shows how it’s never too late to change the thing you don’t like about your life, regardless of society’s expectations. She divorces Rachel’s father and compares him to Barry so that her daughter understands that she never loved her father. Thomas has an extensive career. She is active on social media, like Instagram, regardless of being 82 years old! Plus, she’s a writer. This year she published What Makes a Marriage Last with her husband Phil Donahue, with whom she has been married since 1980. Let’s hear it for Marlo!
4. Ron Leibman (Leonard Green)
Rachel’s father was hard to get along with and found it hard to understand that his daughter wanted to be independent. He was also fairly judgmental of Ross, especially after he found out that Rachel was pregnant, but that they weren’t planning on getting married. Leibman passed away in 2019, at the age of 82.
5. Morgan Fairchild (Nora Tyler Bing)
In addition to being Chandler’s mother in the series, Nora is the successful writer of novels. The group of friends enjoys her occasional visits, except Chandler, who is constantly embarrassed by her presence. Fairchild has an extensive career in films and series, and in her free time she contributes to AIDS charities.
6. Kathleen Turner (Charles Bing)
Chandler’s father divorced his mother after cheating on her with the boy who cleaned the pool. We only get to know him when Chandler and Monica travel to Las Vegas to invite him to their wedding, where Charles performs his show. Although Kathleen plays a drag queen, the actress suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, which has completely changed the body she used to have when she was younger.

Parenting mistake № 3 : Trying to raise the best student or a champion There are 2 dangerous strategies when it comes to raising a neurotic person : • Champions , who obsess and become neurotic about their focus , are raised in families where the parents have achieved certain successes and they want their children to do the same .
Or a family where a mother or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t achieve it and want their children to do it for them .
Future champions spend their days training and studying , and they don ’ t have enough time to live .

Yes , they might make a mistake but it ’ s their experience and their new knowledge .

By making our children believe that money is very hard to earn and that it ’ s a great responsibility , you make children develop the irrational fear of losing money .
These phrases we say don ’ t have anything to do with real life .
Discuss every single situation individually .
If you can ’ t buy something , discuss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the purchase .
Parenting mistake № 6 : Being friends with your children A mother says that her son calls her by her name because they are friends .

We at Bright Side first wanted to find out how a person can look this stunning at the age of 72, but then we decided to focus on psychology and talk about the parenting mistakes that prevent children from becoming wealthy.
Parenting mistake № 1: Programming for success
Very often, parents ignore an important aspect of communication — the signals we send to our children with our words and actions. These signals program the children for many years to come. Here are a few examples of the stereotypes in people’s minds and the feelings that impact their future. “Don’t be healthy!” A woman was offered a promotion, she got ill and didn’t show up for work, so a different person got the position. It turned out that in her childhood, her parents gave her too much work to do. When she was in elementary school, she had a little sister and all the parents’ attention switched to her. She, as the older sister, often had to look after the little one and she soon realized that the only way to be the center of her parents’ attention was to get ill. When she grew up, she continued to hide in illness, being afraid of responsibility.

It turned out that in her childhood, her parents taught her to not trust her gut. Some parents don’t value kids’ emotional reactions. Whatever children say about their feelings is denied and laughed at. As a result, kids become adults who don’t trust their own feelings and emotions.
Parenting mistake № 2: Destructive phrases
In fact, providing for our children is our responsibility. Whether you do it or not is your choice, but you can’t demand any special gratitude for that from your kids. Forget phrases like, “We’ve done so much for you and you...”. Take responsibility for how much you do for your kid. More than other families? Great. Just accept the fact that you do it because you want to. The thing is, gratitude and respect for parents don’t depend on the level of income of a certain family.
Parenting mistake № 3: Trying to raise the best student or a champion
There are 2 dangerous strategies when it comes to raising a neurotic person: Champions, who obsess and become neurotic about their focus, are raised in families where the parents have achieved certain successes and they want their children to do the same. Or a family where a mother or a father dreamed about something, but couldn’t achieve it and want their children to do it for them. Future champions spend their days training and studying, and they don’t have enough time to live. The pressure on them is immense and they believe they will be happy only when they reach their goal.
Raising a perfect student is a more popular strategy, but it’s no less dangerous. Nowadays, parents start teaching their kids everything at a very early age. It’s not the right thing to do, because you overload children’s brains. By doing so, we don’t let our children make mistakes, we tell them to be the best and this usually doesn’t end well. Don’t impose strict schedules on your children. They will only help you raise an unhappy person with a bleak childhood. Give your children some free time where they can do nothing at all. Doing nothing is just as important as studying. This is the time to watch the sky, dance, and live. This is how creativity is born.
Parenting mistake № 4: Bribery
Today, some parents pay their children for every good grade they get, or for cleaning their room and other things like that. This is wrong. Bribery is not the best way to raise children. By paying them for their successes, we push children toward not valuing their actual successes. A family is not a market, it’s a relationship based on love and care. Give them pocket money . This is how you show them you trust them with their financial decisions. It’s an element of personal freedom.

Parents can guide their children, but the final decision has to be in the hands of the child. Yes, they might make a mistake but it’s their experience and their new knowledge.
Parenting mistake № 5: Pressure through “words of wisdom”
Sometimes parents say something like, “Money doesn’t grow on trees” or “When I was your age, I already...” We’ve heard this from our parents and we tell this to our children. By making our children believe that money is very hard to earn and that it’s a great responsibility, you make children develop the irrational fear of losing money. These phrases we say don’t have anything to do with real life. Discuss every single situation individually. If you can’t buy something, discuss what you can do to save enough for the purchase.
Parenting mistake № 6: Being friends with your children
A mother says that her son calls her by her name because they are friends. Being friends with children is a new trend. A family is a system with a hierarchy, where everyone plays their role. Parents — care, buy clothes, and love. Children — obey their parents, make mistakes, and check where the limits are. Only by being “above” can parents do their job well. In trying to make friends, they become peers and lose control. Set the limits, loud and clear . This is how children understand what they can do and what they can’t.

. Set rules that neither children, nor you can ever break. If you give children too much freedom, they’ll grow up to not have confidence. It is very important to be confident and feel safe while growing up.
Parenting mistake № 7: No agreement about money in the family
What is a child supposed to understand if their parents can’t agree about money? And when the father is the saver and then criticizes the mother for an expensive purchase, children get really confused. The older family members need to agree with each other about how much they can spend on certain things. Your opinions should at least be the same about the most basic questions. There should be no secrets. You either ban something together or allow something together.
about how much they can spend on certain things. Your opinions should at least be the same about the most basic questions. There should be no secrets. You either ban something together or allow something together. Don’t send mixed signals. Remember, if you say something like, “They wanted to show off — that’s why they had the party” or “Buying such an expensive car is insane,” the children will think you are dishonest. They will think, “Didn’t you want a party like that, mom?” Children can feel jealousy. Be an example for your kids and don’t teach them to be jealous of other people’s success.
Parenting mistake № 8: Not teaching kids to dream
When limited by very strict rules, children quickly get used to external control. First, they listen to others in kindergarten, then in different classes and in school. You should teach them to take initiative and tell them it’s important to not live according to someone else’s expectations, but instead to do what they want. When we tell them things using terms like “you have to” or “you need to,” we kill their motivation and all their creativity. Teach them to dream and to not follow orders. They should be able to understand what they want and they need your support.

“ How can you be confident and dress sexy when you look like that ?
Just work out and take care of that mess of a body , ” someone said to Kristyn when she shared what her postpartum body looked like .
Like a lot of women , Kristyn felt the pressure to get down to a size 0 in order to be beautiful .

Kristyn felt that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand that her body would always be enough .
We at Bright Side feel that Kristyn ’ s empowering story is important and should be shared , as it can inspire women to love themselves and their bodies no matter what .
Growing up , Kristyn saw how only some women of a certain size and body type appeared on television and magazine covers .
At school , she ’ d become the “ funny friend ” because she felt like with the way she looked , she had to do more to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would often cry and try her best to get thinner and make herself more attractive .
Even when she met her now-husband at high school , who would shower her with compliments , she would act in denial whenever he told her how beautiful she was .
It was hard for her to believe that beauty was in the eye of the beholder and that it came in all shapes .
Luckily , her first love never gave up on her and motherhood helped her see that a woman ’ s body isn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or worthiness .
After giving birth to her first son , Benjamin , Kristyn began noticing so many articles and posts about bouncing back after labor .
Health and fitness companies wanted to help her lose the baby weight so she could go back to the way she was before .
She got fed up with the negative stigma of the female body so she decided to share what her real postpartum body looked like .
Unfortunately , she received some backlash from some people .

But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be given the chance to experience this miracle because not every woman is able to conceive .
She says , “ For every mother who has the marks and scars and wishes they ’ d go away , there are 10 who would kill to have them.

“All bodies are good bodies.”
Growing up, Kristyn saw how only some women of a certain size and body type appeared on television and magazine covers. At school, she’d become the “funny friend” because she felt like with the way she looked, she had to do more to be around her beautiful friends. She would often cry and try her best to get thinner and make herself more attractive.

It was hard for her to believe that beauty was in the eye of the beholder and that it came in all shapes. Luckily, her first love never gave up on her and motherhood helped her see that a woman’s body isn’t a measure of her beauty or worthiness.
“You can’t weigh beauty.”
After giving birth to her first son, Benjamin, Kristyn began noticing so many articles and posts about bouncing back after labor. Health and fitness companies wanted to help her lose the baby weight so she could go back to the way she was before. She got fed up with the negative stigma of the female body so she decided to share what her real postpartum body looked like.

So Kristyn left some powerful messages to women who’ve always been told that they weren’t enough, who constantly wish parts of their bodies would go away, and who never see themselves as beautiful on her Instagram. “Your worth does not get defined by your appearance,” “Stand up for yourself, give your bodies credit,” and finally, “Approve of yourself.”

We at Bright Side decided to learn more about the past of our ancestors and we have found a lot of facts that made us proud of them.
