Some people say that the easiest way to find out if someone is an adult (and not just a big teenager) is to ask them if they want to go back to their childhood. If they do, they’re an adult.
We at Bright Side decided to get nostalgic again and found some photos that can quickly send anyone that looks at them back to a time when tables were very high and sweets were really tasty.
Here’s Sean Astin with his daughter Alexandra that appeared in an episode of The Lord of the Rings — and this is also them 20 years later.
“Some quintessential VHS tapes from my childhood: Grumpy Old Men, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Kindergarten Cop, and 3 Ninjas”

Our body is astonishing, but there are times when, in rare ways, it can surprise us all. There are people born with an extended iris, while others have marble-like eyes. In the end, it seems like our DNA likes to play tricks on us and make us look a bit different from others — so much so that we might even end up questioning our past.
People on the internet shared their body’s special and unique differences and Bright Side wants to share them with all of you.

Sweden gave the world safe and comfortable Volvo cars, cheap and stylish IKEA furniture, great games like Minecraft and Battlefield, and many other awesome things. According to HSBC, this country is in 20th place in terms of the attraction of immigrants. Free education, a good healthcare system, clear air, and untouched nature — these are the things that attract new citizens to Sweden.
We at Bright Side have read the opinions of people who have moved to Sweden recently and some who’ve been there for several years, and we’ve learned a lot of interesting things about this country that make it very different from any other.
Sweden is in first place in the European Union when it comes to the number of given patents. So it’s no surprise that most of the attention here is directed toward digital technology. And among these inventions made by Swedish people are the 3-point-seat belt, the pacemaker, oat milk, the pipe wrench, the walking frame, and many others.
Swedish people are very concerned about the ecological situation in the world. Only 1% of the trash is sent to landfills, 52% of it is used to produce energy, and 47% is recycled. The country is so good at dealing with waste that they even have to import trash from other countries in order to support the work of the companies that produce energy.
There’s almost no such thing as a hierarchy in Swedish society. Everyone addresses each other by their names, despite their position in a company or within a community. When talking to professors, students don’t use their titles.
Honesty and sincerity are the most important things to them. It’s better to admit your mistakes right away in order to avoid being punished by your boss. If you offer your friends some food and they decline, it’s better to stop right away and not insist they take it because that would be considered extremely rude.
People in Sweden have a deep respect for private space. Don’t start small talk with strangers or ask cashiers how they’re doing.
It’s not polite to ask personal questions about family, previous workplaces, and so on.
However, it is polite to be brief. Swedish people don’t like useless talk. Even a friendly meeting may start with a long pause. They don’t try to talk just to avoid silence.
Moving to Sweden is easy, but making friends is hard. Many people complain that even several months after meeting someone, they can’t move past the polite “hey” and “bye” phase. The Swedes are very careful about choosing people for their inner circles. It takes a lot of time and patience to win someone’s trust.
The best way to find friends is to start a hobby and take several classes. There are a lot of things you can choose from. Another way is to take a sports class you like. The Swedes pay a lot of attention to physical activity.
Finding an apartment is an incredibly difficult task in Sweden. It’s the worst in Stockholm, where it’s almost impossible to find a place to buy. Some people spend years in lines waiting for the right apartment. In smaller towns, it’s better. The prices for property are very high, but most apartments and houses are in great condition.
The Swedes say that every person dreams about 3 “V” — villa, Volvo, dog (Villa, Volvo, Vovve). But even this dream is easier to achieve than a private washing machine. This is why everyone uses laundromats. But before using one, you should read the rules. Some aren’t allowed to be used after a certain hour. Also, it is important to clean up after yourself and wash the machine. Otherwise, your neighbors might become really unhappy.
Paper money is not something the Swedes love. Even for the smallest things, they pay with their credit cards. Some places don’t take cash at all. Only some vending machines may take coins.
Banks and shops work until a certain time. And in summer, in July-August, during the vacation period, most places are closed, even cafes and restaurants. This is why you should have no plans for this time of year. Don’t change jobs or plan renovations.
The Swedes have a special knife for butter made of wood or plastic. It belongs to everyone when you are sitting at a table with others. So, if you try to use this knife when it’s not your turn, or worse, if you put it on your plate, it is considered very rude. Obviously, you should never use this knife for anything other than butter and you shouldn’t use other knives to cut butter either.
The last sandwich or cookie should remain on the table. Even if nobody is interested in it, it will stay alone on a giant plate.
Lingonberries go with anything. But they don’t put them on toast.
Lines are sacred. They are silent and extremely patient. Trying to talk in a line or act irritated while waiting is frowned upon. Obviously, if you break this rule, nobody will say a word to you because it would be a violation of another rule — not talking to strangers.
You can’t raise your voice. And you can never scream. A Swedish person might just think that you hate them.
Shoes used on the street are left at the entrance to homes. Walking around the house in shoes is a huge violation of rules. This is why they are very careful about the color and the condition of the socks they wear.
Arriving late or earlier than the agreed upon time is a terrible mistake. This rule works for all aspects of life, from business meetings to friendly gatherings. The Swedes are extremely punctual and they expect the same attitude from others.
Planning is superlative. Most people have calendars with all of their planned events for the next few months. Business meetings, trips, visits with friends and relatives — everything is in this document. Ask a Swede what they are doing next Friday at 5 pm, and they will instantly be able to tell you.
In offices, everyone, including the management, takes part in the everyday routine. So don’t be surprised to hear, “Sorry, the manager can’t answer right now, it’s his turn to do the dishes today.”
Swedish people love business meetings. Any member of the team can talk about their ideas. They welcome the open exchange of opinions.
All phone numbers and e-mail addresses can be accessed. If you need someone’s phone number, you can ask any employee and they will give it to you.
A standard work day finishes at 5 pm and the office instantly becomes empty. Parents leave earlier to pick up their kids from school or kindergarten, and they don’t need to tell their boss that they’re doing this.
The most sacred tradition of any team is fika. This is a special coffee break. You can’t drink coffee at your desk or refuse to meet your colleges for coffee. It is also not appropriate to answer business letters and calls during fika.
Any 2 parents have maternity or paternity leave for 480 days. Each of the parents can spend 3 months with the child and the rest can be divided between them. Not taking the time to be with your child is wrong. Nobody will appreciate or understand this kind of behavior.
Aside from this time, parents can take a vacation to take care of their children and 80% of their income will be paid to them. Everyone understands this: it’s better for the child to be at home if they’re sick rather than go to school and potentially infect everyone there.
Most Swedes have an average of 33 vacation days a year (at least 4 weeks). They usually go on vacation in June or July.
Family time is crucial for the Swedes. This is why they try not to work more than 6 hours a day.
Playgrounds in Sweden are for play. Nobody will stop children from running around, yelling, and climbing different objects on playgrounds.
The Swedes love sweets: a family of 4 eats about 2.6 pounds of chocolate and candy a week. But this happens mostly on Saturdays. In the ’40s of the last century, doctors decided to do an experiment to find out what happens if they eat chocolate once a week. This experiment turned into a tradition.
Before giving a name to a child, it has to be approved by the Swedish Tax Agency during the first 3 months after the child is born. Fortunately, options like Ikea and Metallica are prohibited for little Swedes.
The Swedish people prefer to rest and relax in the fresh air.
All of the land in Sweden, except for the land near people’s homes, is accessible to all citizens. There, people can have picnics and set up tents. Just don’t forget to collect your trash.
Let’s say there’s a new TV series and you invite your Swedish friend to watch it together. Be careful: there’s a chance she will ignore you for a couple of weeks or even slap you in the face. The phrase, “Shall we watch a movie together,” is so overused that it has become the equivalent of an invitation to cuddle in bed together. Either way, you won’t be watching any movies together.
In Sweden, people don’t talk to strangers on the street, on public transportation, in shops, or anywhere else. And strangers can be people that live in the same building as you, work not far from you, and so on.
Igor Di Marco, from Italy, shared this funny story, “A friend of mine, a Spanish woman, a few days ago tried to say hi to a guy she has been seeing on the train every day for the last 3 months (they are commuters on the same line). This guy ran away from her. Literally.”
The Swedes are very straightforward people and when they get an answer to their question, they won’t ask again. In some cultures, it is polite to turn down the first offer and expect the one who offers to insist. The Swedes don’t do this. Fay, a student from Greece, shared a funny story, “I came and stayed at the place of a Swedish guy I knew. He offered to let me sleep in his bed and said he would sleep on the couch. I told him that I’d be fine even sleeping on the floor. So, who do you think slept on the floor? I did. I shouldn’t have said that. I’d much rather have slept in the bed.”
Summer is a time to collect berries and mushrooms, although people should be careful not to do this in a private area and avoid protected plants.
There are many different animals in Swedish forests. The most famous ones are wolves and moose. But the Swedes are not afraid of them. The scariest animals for them are badgers. The Swedes believe that if this wild animal bites a person, it will not let go until their bones break.
Even though people in Sweden are not used to showing their emotions, they still do it sometimes. Uppsala University has an amazing tradition. At exactly 10 p.m., any student can open their window and yell as loud as they can. This is how young people can blow off steam after exhausting lessons or stressful exams.

We all know the products of world-famous companies very well. But have you ever wondered what the typical workplace of an employee who develops new technology or packs your order from Aliexpress looks like? Giant companies try to arrange their offices so that every person who works there feels as comfortable as possible.
We at Bright Side have virtually peeked into the offices of world-famous companies and are sharing the cool things we found there.
A Google office in Singapore has a small room with 4 places equipped for sleeping. They also have sleeping eye masks available for anyone.
In the Mexican offices, the employees have swings to rest on and pools of balls to play in.
The Mountain View department has free bicycles that are used for transportation between Google campuses.
In the middle of the office, there’s a slide that can quickly get you downstairs.
The New York Google office invites its employees upstairs with the help of a vertical ladder instead of traditional stairs.
To avoid dropping a computer or other handheld items while climbing up, there are special bags that hang on a green tree next to the ladder.
The Chinese department of Alibaba uses small robots for transporting parcels.
There is another robot that delivers orders to the workers between campuses from Alibaba’s head office.
There are no cashiers in the cafeteria. Vending machines recognize food on a tray through cameras, assign a price, and calculate the total, which is then paid for with a special card.
Alibaba employees who have worked for the company for a long time receive memorable gifts.
The employee responsible for sorting letters in London’s Facebook office has a workspace that looks like a postal worker’s car.
The same office also has special capsules where employees can restore their energy.
If a worker doesn’t feel like sleeping, they can attend an art master class.
All employees at the Samsung office in South Korea walk through a frame at the exit.
This is done for the safety of the company and current developments so that no one leaves the building with anything they’re not supposed to take out.
“I didn’t know that the tray color had a meaning in Samsung cafeterias. Turns out, if you choose a brown tray, it means you want more food; the green tray means you want less food.”
One of the campuses also has a park where employees can take a rest during lunchtime.
In Silicon Valley, Samsung’s office building is designed to make employees walk up stairs.
This is because the company doesn’t want the staff to sit in one place. Even the cafeteria, which could easily be placed inside, is located outside. This system helps employees burn 800 calories a day.
Bill Gates wanted to place Microsoft offices as close to nature as possible. He even built some treehouses for employees.
They also have a “forest” area that people can work in.
The interior of this Adobe office has bright colors, including a special shade of orange. According to the designer, it makes employees happier and motivates them to work.
The building even has its own garden where they grow all the necessary ingredients for the local café’s cuisine.
Each employee can participate in the process while a special expert provides necessary advice on plant care.
There is also a special capsule for relaxation at the Adobe office. It lets employees meditate to the sound of the ocean.
Amazon management believes that people’s brains work more actively if they’re surrounded by nature. That’s why their office in Seattle looks so tropical.
Their office provides special booths where employees can have privacy during phone conversations.
There’s even a special stand near the building where employees or anyone in the community can take a free banana. The person who sorts these bananas is called a “banista.”
A nice bonus for all Amazon employees is the opportunity to bring their dogs to work. The office has created all the necessary conditions for pets.

1 cup water You can drink this mixture or dip a cotton ball and apply the cleanser on your skin.
4. Alcohol odor neutralizer
Because foul odors are typically caused by bacteria, the bacteria-killing properties of alcohol can help keep away strong body odor. When you are in need of a quick deodorant, spritz yourself with some rubbing alcohol, and apply it on your sweaty underarms. Avoid using alcohol on freshly shaven or waxed skin to prevent alcohol stings.
5. Coconut oil mouthwash
Coconut oil is rich in antibacterial properties that have been proven to help oral hygiene. This versatile oil can reduce plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath.
To use coconut oil as a mouthwash, also known as oil pulling, gargle: 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil Swish it around your mouth and gargle in your throat for at least 5 minutes, or go as long as 20 minutes. Spit out the oil and wash it down with some warm water.
6. Baking soda deodorant
Baking soda has been used in many industries as an odor neutralizer because of its powerful odor absorption properties. You might also find that many commercial deodorants contain baking soda to help fight body odor. However, applying baking soda in its pure form directly on your skin can cause sensitivity reactions, so it is best to mix it with something else before you use it.
To make a baking soda dry deodorant, combine: 1 part baking soda
6 parts cornstarch Place in a shaker or powder bottle and shake gently before applying.
To make a baking soda wet deodorant, combine: 1 part baking soda
2 parts coconut oil Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and massage gently on skin. For a non-oil deodorant, make a paste with a teaspoon of baking soda and some water. Apply on underarms and allow the paste to completely dry before getting dressed.
7. Garlic tonic odor remover
Although many find its smell overpowering and unpleasant, garlic has been found to combat body odors due to the antibacterial properties it contains. By simply consuming more garlic in your diet, strong body odors can be improved.
To make a garlic tonic odor remover, combine: 3 cloves peeled garlic
2 cups water Bring the garlic and water to boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and strain. Apply the tonic on your body and leave for about 30 minutes before rinsing off. Repeat this procedure on a daily basis and watch what happens next!

Even the most naughty children do things that can make their parents feel proud. It’s just a matter of being able to notice it. And we think that being proud of your children is a really healthy thing.
We at Bright Side always look at our children and think that they are the best. We understand the feelings of other parents and we wanted to share their stories with you.

My husband’s mom told my 4-year-old son he sounds like a girl. Before I could verbally slap her, my 6-year-old daughter jumps in and says, “No disrespect grandma but he sounds like himself, not a girl! He’s 4 and that was mean.” That’s my girl! © Unknown / Reddit
2.
My daughter was 5. My husband was out of the country for a 1-year-contract... I fell down and hurt my knee and underwent surgery. There was a parent-teacher meeting that was supposed to happen at her school. Her class was on the second floor. She told her teacher to not send that circular to me, as I would insist on coming to the meeting, but it would be very painful for me. She even offered an alternative of writing the report as a letter which she would give to me. She had this amazing maturity to think through a situation and come up with a solution, instead of just complaining about the problem. © Visalakshi / Quora
3.
My 3-year-old daughter doesn’t want to collect her toys. She says, “I don’t want to collect my toys because I’m as lazy as a dog.” How do they do that? This is so spot-on! © Zhilibili / Pikabu

My wife and I are trying to raise a smart and strong son. One year ago, my wife got him a Spanish tutor and I got him into a taekwondo class. One day, he came back from school and said that there was a guy that tried to hit him all the time. I told him to fight back because he had the skills. And he said that he couldn’t because he was a good boy. Then, my son lost his patience and bit the guy. It wasn’t the right decision, of course, and I don’t think he learned that in the taekwondo class. But the guy’s mom complained about this to the teacher and when we told her that her son was attacking ours, she said it was okay because “they’re kids.” © Radrigosen / Pikabu
5.
Yesterday, I was shocked to receive a phone call from the school telling me that my usually well-behaved, polite, and kind 13-year-old son had broken one of the school rules. The school imposed a couple of penalties, one of which was that my son was not allowed to attend the school camp, which started today. After a long talk with my son—who is always very honest—I was able to find out that his actions, although very foolish, were not what they initially appeared to be. He had acted without thinking, but wasn’t being malicious, and wasn’t aware that he was breaking a school rule. He left for school this morning with a big smile on his face, 2 sincere apology letters in his hand, and the desire to have a great week at school. While everyone else in 2-grade levels is going off to camp today, he will be spending the rest of the week at school studying. Although very disappointed, he has accepted his punishment as fair and is approaching it with a good attitude and a determination to do better. © J L Van Dijk / Quora

My son was in his high chair, he must have been about 2. His mother and I were play fighting (we are both medieval combat instructors) and suddenly he shouted: “Hey! Don’t hit my mommy. Okay, daddy?” Both my wife and I laughed and then I noticed that he was still staring at me. He repeated: “OKAY, DADDY?!!” I had to agree (and look serious doing it) to calm him down as he started trying to get out of his high chair. He could barely walk, and he was ready to go toe to toe with a 6’2″, 220 pound adult to protect his mother. I couldn’t have been more proud of him! © Steve Taylor / Quora

I have 3 children: 2 daughters and a son. Our son was born a year after our daughter and he never got enough attention: we were too tired. He worked hard in his studies. Got good grades. He became a lawyer. He was always obsessed with history. Almost right from the beginning, when he moved to London, he applied to give a volunteer tour at the British Museum. Most people don’t even know he’s a successful lawyer. Some try to tip him with coins! I’m very proud of him. © Rukhsana Rasheed / Quora
8.
2 years ago, I agreed with my son that if he scored well on his exams, I’d buy him the latest-model iPhone. He did, so the next day, I bought him the phone. But he asked me to return it to the store and instead we bought 2 cheaper phones. He kept one of them and gave the other one to a girl from his class. It turned out that the girl had no parents and she was being raised by her grandmother. So, they didn’t have a lot of money and she had a very old phone with a broken screen. Also, their class was going camping and he paid for the girl because she always helped him with his studies. I was really moved by his kindness. © aleksey3x / Pikabu

My son had a pretty serious speech problem and he was in a special study program. It allowed him to use his study guide for tests and had other relaxed standards. Anyways, during the parent-teacher conference that semester, his teacher showed me his scores on the standardized tests and they were really good. She then told me that he didn’t use his advantages. He wanted to be graded like everyone else. I was very proud! © Mechelle Bennett / Quora

Earlier this year, my 2-year-old was at an Easter egg hunt at the zoo. It was just empty, plastic eggshells, but a lot of those toddlers were vicious. Anyways, my daughter kept picking up eggs and giving them to all the other kids the entire time. What a gal. © award07 / Reddit

A few months ago, we had a neighborhood yard sale and my son wanted to make some money to buy a bike. Granted, my wife and I could have simply bought him the bike, but we wanted to use this opportunity to teach him about work, money, and responsibility so we told him he would need to earn money to buy it. He got some old toys and stuffed animals together and put them out for sale, but also wanted to sell hot dogs and lemonade. We agreed and got him all set up and he ended up making $70 that day. He made enough to get his bike. The next day, we happened to be walking around Sam’s Club and we saw this snow cone machine.

After 2 months, the entire neighborhood knew about our son. Word got around and he even had a full fire truck of guys come out and show their support!

When our son was 4 years old, we bought him a “doctor box” toy. My son loved “treating” everyone. He looked all-important, took everyone’s temperature, and prescribed the treatment. One day, my wife and I had a very serious fight and we were yelling. The “doc” looked at us and said, “I know why you’re fighting. It’s your hearts.” He took his stethoscope and started examining us. My wife and I froze and even forgot why we were fighting. After the examination, the doc said, “Well, it’s clear. Dad, come and kiss mom.

Introverts are often perceived as sullen and withdrawn, but this is a misconception. There are many talented musicians, writers, and actors among them, such as Keanu Reeves. Сommunication takes a lot of energy for them and they’ll use any opportunity to stay home by themselves. But they’ve also developed an excellent sense of self-irony.

What to do before going to the vet

When it comes to finding out whether a person has a fever, the diagnosis isn’t much of a challenge. You just have to use a thermometer. In less than a minute, a digital number will settle the matter for you. However, with puppies, it’s a whole different story. Dogs and thermometers don’t always mix. So, pay attention to the signs that a fever may present in your furry friend.
Bright Side wants to share some helpful signs that will let you know whether your dog has a fever.
1. Their eyes are red.
If we look closely, a healthy dog’s eyes should be clear and shiny. If they look reddish and come with a tired look, your little ruff-ruff is likely to have a canine fever.
2. He seems to be lacking any enthusiasm or energy.
Fever attacks the body and weakens it. Dogs tend to be active, walking around the house, trying to get another friendly pet or anyone to play with them. If they look exhausted and have little desire to communicate or interact, it’s essential to take this slumpy attitude into account as a febrile symptom.
3. He has lost his appetite.
Along with tiredness, a loss of appetite in a dog is one of the most common and alarming signs that something is just not right. Try offering him food and some playtime. If there’s no response on his part to any stimuli and he barely touches his favorite snacks, consider taking this as a hint of a fever.
4. His ears and nose feel warm to the touch.
One of the hottest places on your puppy’s body is his nose. A healthy pup’s nose should be clean, fresh, and moist. An excessively hot or dry nose can be a symptom of a fever. Another place to check is his ears, which should not exceed his general body heat: They shouldn’t feel hotter than the rest of his body.
5. He’s shaking.
Dogs tend to shiver in stressful situations. For example, when there are many more people than usual at home. In these cases, there is no reason to be alarmed. It’s just their typical reaction to anxiety. However, if their shaking is combined with a tired face, physical strain, or some of the signs mentioned above, it’s best to call the vet.
6. He’s coughing.
For a puppy to cough vehemently, it means they might have some kind of infection or internal inflammation. These conditions cause the body temperature to rise as the fever seeks to fight harmful bacteria. If the cough persists, it’s advisable to see a professional.
7. He threw up.
A vomiting dog is pretty common. Whether it’s because of an upset stomach or because he ate something he shouldn’t have, there’s nothing to worry about. The issue arises when we see that he gets sick more frequently than usual and when we notice that he ate appropriately, but becomes ill anyway.
What to do before going to the vet
After alerting a professional, there are several things we can do to ease fever symptoms in our dogs in the meantime:
Using a sponge, wet the dog in the armpit, muzzle, and groin areas.
Take him to a cool area where he can be more comfortable.
Offer him cold water to drink so that his body temperature will likely drop.
Put ice packs behind his head and legs, but be careful to not upset him! Remember that going to the vet on time is essential for your loyal friend’s recovery.

brightside--2020-09-10--10 Modern Women’s Things That Actually Appeared Centuries Ago

By the @ @ @ @ @ many countries had sported shoes with red soles and heels ( this color was associated @ @ @ @ @ the same time , it was an expensive dye ) until Louis XIV issued a @ @ @ @ @ red soles could only be worn in his court .

Each woman has probably tried on or used earrings, tights, lipstick, and high-heeled shoes at least once in her life. Nowadays, these items are available to everyone, but this wasn’t always the case, and in the past they could cost a fortune.
At Bright Side, we got really interested in the history of women’s things and found out that many of them originally belonged to men, were inaccessible to most people, or had a completely different purpose.
1. Lipstick came at a great cost.
Modern lipstick is made of wax, oil, and pigment. But in the times before our modern day, they used henna and carmine. Nefertiti’s lips were probably covered with beeswax.
70,000 beetles were necessary to yield one pound of the carmine dye (red pigment) used by Cleopatra to paint her lips.
In Mesopotamia, women ground precious and semi-precious gems into dust to apply them to their lips.
2. The swimsuit was invented to cover the navel.
The history of the swimsuit is not a story of comfort and fabric improvement, it’s all about the liberation of the navel. Before the second half of the 17th century, European women either bathed without clothes or while wearing fabric bandages.
Gradually, women’s arms and legs became more bare, and swimsuits lost their collars and got a lower neckline. During World War II, there was a shortage of fabric, so a 2-piece swimsuit that revealed the upper belly became popular. It wasn’t until 1946 that Louis Réard introduced a new model of bikini swimsuit, which revealed the navel.
3. Hair dye: chemical and safe
In the ancient world, men and women dyed their hair with all sorts of items: cassia bark, leeks, leeches, charred eggs, henna, and even gold dust.
Hair dye often reflected social change. In the 1700s, it became popular for Venetian women to recline in the sun on special terraces after putting lye in their hair to turn it blonde. Beforehand, blonde hair was considered scandalous. It also wasn’t until the Middle Ages that dying your hair was considered a female habit.
Sometimes, hair dye was thought to have medicinal purposes. In Afghanistan, for example, it was thought that dying your hair red could cure a headache.
4. Bras came from athletics
Everyone knows what a corset is, but what came before it? Ancient Roman female athletes used bandages that resembled a strapless bandeau bra. A mosaic of the first primitive bra can be found in Sicily and Pompeii.
The first patent for a bra was issued in 1914, but this could have happened even in the 15th century. In 2012, scientists found medieval flaxen “breast pouches” which looked like a modern bra.
5. Earrings were associated with bohemians or thieves.
Throughout history, earrings have signified different things. At times, it could mark someone as a slave, an artist, or even a religious devotee.
In Shakespeare’s time, they served as a distinctive sign of someone who was a poet, which is why Shakespeare himself can be seen portrayed wearing an earring in artwork.
6. High-heeled shoes were for men.
The first high-heeled shoes appeared in ancient Persia: soldiers would wear them while riding horses so that their feet would stay in the stirrups. After that, these shoes spread throughout Europe, where aristocratic men would wear them to seem taller and more respectable.
Under the influence of men’s fashion, women also started choosing high-heeled shoes. It wasn’t until the mid-1800s that these shoes began to be associated exclusively with a woman’s wardrobe.
Christian Louboutin knew the history of fashion perfectly. By the 17th century, aristocrats of many countries had sported shoes with red soles and heels (this color was associated with war and, at the same time, it was an expensive dye) until Louis XIV issued a law stipulating that shoes with red soles could only be worn in his court.
7. Mascara was harmful for one’s health.
When Elizabeth I came into power, red hair became fashionable and women dyed their eyelashes too, to match their hair. This was actually very dangerous because the homemade mixtures that women used contained toxic substances.
Eugène Rimmel, the founder of the cosmetics company Rimmel and Queen Victoria’s court perfumer, developed mascara, using the newly invented petroleum jelly. His invention became a sensation because it was the first non-toxic tint for eyelashes.
8. Women got sanitary pads from soldiers.
The first sanitary pads might be far older than we realize. One of the first records of menstrual pads appears in writings from the 10th century, where the 4th-century writer Hypatia was said to have used them.
Benjamin Franklin may have developed the modern disposable sanitary pad, having been inspired by absorbent bandages used to treat soldiers. Nurses are likely the first women to use pads for their modern use.
9. Stockings and tights were meant for noble men.
In 15th century Europe, the first tights were made of woven stockings joined together with a centerpiece. Men of higher rank often wore tights made of finer material, like silk or fine wool, than those in the lower ranks. This piece of clothing didn’t become part of a women’s wardrobe until the 18th century.
10. Menstrual cups appeared in the 19th century
The menstrual cup wasn’t invented in the 21st century, and not even in the 20th century. Rubber cups that were attached to a special belt were being advertised already in 1884.

Avoid a germ cloud from developing in your bathroom.
Researchers have found that when you flush the toilet, fecal matter and germs fly up to 15 feet. Scientists often refer to this aerosol effect as a “toilet plume.” The research showed that if we flush with an open lid, all the surfaces in the bathroom get coated with infectious material. So we hope you either close the lid or use a toothbrush cover, otherwise, it becomes a home for bacterial organisms.
The reason why toilet plumes are so dangerous
It’s not just about hygiene, our health is threatened too. Among all the germs that our toilets get contaminated with, E. coli bacteria is the most dangerous one. It can infect anyone who enters the room in the next 4-6 hours. Some strains of E. coli can cause diseases that result in diarrhea and vomiting.
Chemicals won’t remove toilet plumes.
Cleaning all the surfaces after each flush might be a possible solution. But unfortunately, it’s not only time and money consuming, but the cleaning chemicals are even more dangerous than the toilet plume itself. When overused, they can irritate the lungs, and burn the eyes and skin.
How to fix it
Following 3 simple rules will help you to save your health, money, and time. Always close the lid before flushing the toilet.
Keep your toothbrush and other personal hygiene products away from the toilet bowl.
If you’re using a restroom, try to exit during the flush.
Bonus: other mistakes we make in the bathroom
After using your toilet brush, make sure to dry it. The limited air circulation inside the holder is a great environment for germ growth. So after each use, place the brush under the lid to dry.
Disinfect your toilet brush twice a month.
Try not to spend too much time on the toilet as doctors warn it might provoke hemorrhoids. It happens because when you sit on the toilet, your veins may fill with blood and feel immense pressure.
