It turns out that with many of the items that we have at home, it’s possible to create a pretty decent and even challenging workout.
So Bright Side set out to find out how you can use furniture and even kitchenware to your benefit, to create your own gym at home in the easiest a cheapest possible way. Most of the things required are probably already laying around your place. Check out what we found below!
1. The stair-climber workout using just a chair
Take a chair and put your foot on the seat.
Push up, as if you were climbing a step, until both feet are up.
Get off the chair and repeat. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions: alternate your support leg to get a well-rounded exercise. With this exercise, you will strengthen your buttocks and legs.
2. Strengthening triceps with a table
For this exercise you should use a stool, an armchair, or a low table with enough weight for it to not tip over. You will have to complete 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Sit with your back facing the table and rest your hands on the edge.
Stretch your legs and, using the strength of your arms, push yourself up until your arms are stretched.
Use your strength to lower down and when your arms reach a 90° angle, push back up.
3. Doing squats with the help of the wall
Rest your back on the wall and stay in place with your legs at a 90° angle. It’s as if you were sitting on an invisible chair.
Stay in that position for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, to strengthen your legs. This exercise will make your entire lower body work and will help you build more endurance. You can divide the time into smaller increments to make it easier if you find it too challenging and then increase the time as you get more practice.
4. Deep squatting using the wall too
Follow the same instructions as for the previous exercise, but now add some weight on your legs like in the illustration. You can use a small container or a bottle of detergent to enhance the effect of your workout.
5. Curtsy sliders using a chair
Stand behind a chair and rest your hands on the backrest.
Lift your heels and slide your right leg back until it crosses your left leg.
The position you want to achieve is sort of like a tuck, but slightly diagonal.
Repeat the same steps, but now with your left leg. This exercise is meant to stimulate your whole body, including your balance skills. Repeat this exercise in sets of 20, one set for each leg. For your feet to slide smoothly you can wear socks or place paper plates under your feet, depending on the type of floor you have at home.
6. Push-ups using a bed
Rest your arms on the edge of your bed and stretch your legs back. You will find yourself in the classical upper push-up position.
Do 15 push-ups, rest, and then repeat one or 2 times, in sets of 15. Although you might get the idea that this is a particularly simple exercise because of its name, it is a demanding exercise that will help you strengthen your arms, so it’s definitely worth doing!
7. Abs using a chair
Take a stool or a chair without armrests.
Sit at the edge of the seat, so your back doesn’t hit the backrest.
Rest your hands on the chair and pull your legs toward your chest, then stretch them out again.
Repeat the same movement until you have completed 3 sets of 10 repetitions each. This exercise focuses primarily on your abdomen, but by doing it on a chair, you activate your entire body.
8. Weights with water bottles or milk cans
Take 2 bottles of water, one in each hand.
Keep your arms as close as possible to the sides of your body.
While still holding your upper arms close to your body, raise your forearms until they reach your chest.
Lower them back to the starting position and start over.
Perform 3 sets of 20 repetitions. You can use any type of bottle you have at home, be it water, soda, or even an empty bottle that you fill with sand or soil. This exercise is meant to help you tone your biceps, but you can combine it with different arm exercises to work all of your arm muscles, or even leg muscles.
9. Work arms and back using a towel
Find a towel and grab it from both ends with your hands.
Stretch the towel out at shoulder height behind your head: your arms will be almost stretched out and you will feel your back arch a little.
Raise your arms above your head, until they are stretched out.
Return to the first position and repeat.
Complete 20 repetitions of this exercise. Thanks to these movements, and the tension created by the towel, you will be able to work your back and arm muscles.
10. Lunging with weight (Dumbbell lunges)
While standing in a firm position, take a step forward with your right leg and stop right there.
Once you are in this position, lower your left leg until it almost touches the ground, as if you were trying to kneel down.
Stop before touching the ground, and then go back up.
Start again, but now instead of stepping first with your right leg, do so with your left leg.
Repeat this exercise in 2 sets of 10 lunges each. We recommend holding a bottle of detergent or a small bottle of water in each hand for this exercise to be most effective. With this extra weight added to each lunge, you will strengthen your lower body and work your buttocks.

Felinologist. The beginning
It all started 12 years ago. My parents moved into a new 3-story house and said that there wouldn’t be any pets. One year later, I showed my mom a photo of a Maine Coon. And 2 months later, we had our first Maine Coon at home — he was very tough and serious. And 3 months later, we adopted a kitten from Poland that grew into this beautiful cat.
After that, our cat family started to grow very fast. I wanted to become a cat expert — a felinologist. Felina is Latin for cat. We study the genes of cats, their health, and the reasons why different mutations happen. This can be a controversial topic, but it’s really interesting. Then, I became a breeder and then I worked as a felinology expert, but I realized it wasn’t really my thing. When you see 70-200 cats every weekend, it only seems cute in the beginning. So, now I just oversee several shelters.
Maine Coons are not as big as you think, and Siamese cats are not what they seem.
Despite the popular stereotype, Maine Coons are not really that big: the average weight of an adult male cat is between 15-19 lbs, (but it can go up to 26 lbs) and an adult female cat is between 9-18 lbs, I’ve never seen any bigger ones. Lately, the breed has been changing. For example, many felinology experts now recognize polydactyl cats — those with extra toes. Maine Coons are babysitter cats, they are like the labradors among cats and are great with newborn children.
The British Shorthair cats are very popular breeds. The traditional blueish cats are very widespread, but today there are many different colors. There are more than 100 options!
Golden chinchilla is a very popular color right now.
You can tell the difference between a British and a Scottish cat by looking at their cheeks and bodies. The Scottish have rounder faces and the British have big cheeks. You can see the difference in the photos below. The British are more massive whereas the Scottish look lighter. The Scottish can have the normal straight or the more unique folded ears, and the British never have folded ears.
Even in these photos, you can see how different they are in size. The weight of an adult British cat can be around 17 lbs, while the Scottish are rarely even 13 lbs. The British cats are more independent and they don’t really like it when you pick them up. And the Scottish cats are more curious. They are one of the few breeds that love standing on their hind feet to watch what’s going on.
The Russian Blue cat is an elegant cat with an elongated face. Obviously, they can only be blue. They are somewhat similar to the British cats in their temperament: they are calm and independent. They will only cuddle with their owners. Other people don’t deserve their attention or time. The best part about these cats is that they don’t lose too much fur, so you won’t find cat hair in every meal you eat.
The main features of Oriental cats are their elongated body and triangle-shaped head. The almond-shaped eyes add to the charm of this amazing breed. Traditionally, they have green eyes. What about their temperament, they are very talkative and they can’t stand being alone.
If you are ready for the never-ending talking of these cats, you should get one of them. And make sure you work remotely, otherwise, only your neighbors will be able to hear their talking. They are extremely warm and loving and can have short or long hair.
And I also wanted to talk about Siamese cats, because they are often confused with other breeds. Oriental and Siamese cats are not that different in standards. Mostly, it’s about the eyes and the color. I often see people that say they have a Siamese cat and most of them are wrong. Many people call color point cats (those with darker ears, paws, tails, and noses) Siamese, but in fact, there are a lot of color point breeds. Traditionally, Siamese cats have bright blue eyes and color-point fur. But their fur has to be short and their face has to be triangle-shaped.
What vans and harlequins are and what little white spots look like
Let’s talk about the colors and start with the most popular ones. Black. This is the color that we get thanks to the domination of 2 genes — Black (B) and Diluted (D). And the bigger the number of dominant genes there are in the formula, the brighter and more saturated the black color will be.
Red. Basically, it’s black with the Orange gene (O).
Tortoiseshell color. This is a combination of black and red. Basically, it’s the same red, but the Orange gene doesn’t dominate completely. There are very few tortoiseshell male cats: usually, they are female cats. But there are still some male cats with that color. In most cases, these male cats are born sterile but I have seen some exceptions. Very often, along with red and black, there is also a white color.
Also, the same genes may dominate less. For example, blue is when the Dulited gene dominates and the Black gene is recessive.
If you mix Orange with Blue, you get cream or blue-cream tortoiseshell colors.
If you lighten the blue color, you get the lilac color.
What happens if you lighten only the Diluted gene and keep black dominant? You’ll get the chocolate color.
What are colorpoint cats? This is not a difficult question. Colorpoint is when the color is spread around the body in points. There are a lot of different breeds with these colors, for example the popular Siamese cats or the less known Mekong Bobtails.
Colorpoint is not only about black and white. There are Burmese cats — those that have unique colors. There are seal-point cats, champagne, sable, chocolate, and lilac ones...
You might have seen colorpoint cats with dark bellies. The explanation is very simple — cold weather. The thing is, the fur becomes darker when it’s in constant contact with a cold surface. When it gets warmer, the lighter shade comes back.
Depending on the amount of white fur, there are different names for different variants: bicolor, van, harlequin, and little white spots.
Bonus: How cat experts choose cats for themselves
My daughter has asthma, this is why we decided to adopt a Sphynx. For a long time, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and I know that many cats end up on the streets every day. So I was ready to take a sick animal because I knew I would be able to help. I went online to check a popular website where people give away animals and I saw an exhausted Sphynx cat. I instantly called the owner (this was in December). When I got there, I saw a big noisy family and the cat was hiding under the couch. At the time, the name of the cat was Via. Judging by her looks and her behavior, she wasn’t treated in the best way possible. It turned out that she was in her first heat and the father of the family was really irritated by her screaming at night. I don’t know why they didn’t sterilize her, but it became a ticket to a new life for her.
During her first days in her new house — with her new name — Mathilda hid in every corner, but then she became more relaxed and started looking around the house. It took her several months to understand that it was safe. We had her sterilized in the best clinic in the city, fixed all the health problems she had, and bought her premium cat food.

Sometimes making time to go to the gym seems impossible and we end up giving up on working out. You can still get awesome results by doing standing exercises at home. These will make you use your body’s weight and gravity to get in shape, without putting in too much effort or using special equipment.
A friend of Bright Side agreed to show us the exercises that you won’t be able to give up very easily and ones that will target your legs, belly, arms, and even your back.
The benefits of standing exercises
While you can get a great workout laying down, there are great benefits that you can get from doing exercises while standing on your feet. First, it will be more challenging because you will be working against gravity. You will have a chance to engage your body on a higher level and at the same time avoiding falling over. Also, practicing standing exercises will help you avoid neck pain, which often is a result of workouts done on the floor.
1. Reverse chop
Position your feet hip-width apart.
Hold a water bottle, a ball, or a weight in front of you, at chest height.
Now lower the bottle to the side and outside of your foot, letting your knees bend naturally.
Lift the bottle over your head on the opposite side.
Do 10 reps on both sides and increase the speed to make it more challenging.
2. Step back jacks
Start by placing your feet together and stand upright.
Step back with your right leg and raise your hands.
Go back into the starting position and repeat the steps faster.
Make sure that every time you step, you bend your knees.
3. Leg kicks
Stand tall and kick your left leg out and up.
As you kick it swing the right arm down and around and back up overhead to land on your toe. It’s like you are making a circle with your arm.
Next, lower your leg down and kick your right leg, touching it with your left arm
Repeat 20 reps per side.
4. Ballet side extension
Stand still on the right leg. Bend the knee slightly and place your hands on your hips.
Lift the left leg by bending the knee and lifting the leg across the body.
Now open the leg out on the side and make sure it’s straight.
Repeat 15 times per leg.
5. Standing reverse fly
Take a scarf or a band and grab it in the middle.
Make sure to keep your back flat and torso still.
Now open your arms wide and don’t bend your elbows.
Go back to the starting position and repeat.
6. Forward leg swings
Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Stand on one leg still and swing the other leg forward and then backward. Do it in a single movement.
Switch sides and repeat.
Do 10-20 reps per side.
7. Standing stabilization
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and with both hands hold a ball, water bottle, or a dumbbell in front of your chest.
Keep your arms straight, your shoulders pressed, rotate only the upper body to the right, and then return to the center.
Do 10 reps per side.
8. Standing side crunch
Stand with your feet just a few inches wider than hip-distance apart.
Grab a water bottle or dumbbell in your hands and place your arms in the position of a goalpost.
Now engage the core and bring your left elbow to your left thigh. Bend at the waist to perform a side crunch.
When you get back to the starting position, make sure that you keep your shoulders and arms in the same place.
Do 1 minute on each side.
Do you prefer standing or laying exercises? Do you know of any different standing exercises? Do you like to exercise at home or at the gym?

At Bright Side, we’re delighted with how our furry friends can express their emotions better than some people. They don’t even have to say anything — everything you need to know is literally written on their faces.
“I sneezed and my kitten was disgusted.”
— “Sorry, I was a little late serving breakfast.” — “Well, did you learn your lesson?”
“My cat was not impressed when this fox came by.”
“The eyes I get when I put my shoes on for work”

brightside--2020-09-04--What Happens When You Take a Nap Right After You Eat

People tend to feel sleepy right after eating and want nothing more than to take a nap .
But , as it turns out , this is exactly what you should avoid doing .
Sleeping or even just lying down right after you ’ ve eaten can have some really uncomfortable consequences .
You might even recognize some of the symptoms but never realized it was your post-meal napping that caused them .
At Bright Side , we ’ ve learned what napping after lunch or dinner actually does to your body and are gladly passing on this knowledge to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ ll also learn the perfect amount of time to wait before hitting the hay .
1 .
You might get heartburn .
Normally , the acid produced when digesting your food is contained in the stomach .
Gravity is of great help here , as it forces the fluid stream downward .
When lying down , the acid moves through the stomach and might come into contact with the sensitive parts of the digestive system .
This can lead to heartburn , a painful burning feeling in your chest or throat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets affected .
If you ate a large meal immediately before napping , the full digestion process continues while you ’ re asleep .
The reason for bad sleep can be different for everyone .
It could be that your mind is more active during the metabolism stage , causing you to sleep less deeply .
Another reason could be that you lay awake due to symptoms of heartburn .
It also depends on what type of food you had and how much of it you ate .
3 .
Vivid dreams or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are those bad dreams .
And , as was mentioned just before , your metabolism being triggered causes your brain to become more active .
You enter a so-called rapid eye movement ( REM ) sleep , which is the time where most dreaming takes place .
So if you notice that you ’ re having really vivid or maybe even creepy dreams , then try to lay off eating so close to nap time .
4 .
You ’ ll wake up with the urge to pee more often .
Some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at night , which is known as nocturia .
This can be related to the amount of caffeine in the food you eat .
This means your food could be a diuretic , or in other words , it makes you have to pee more .
It can , of course , be found in coffee .
But what not many people know is that it ’ s also present in tea , any baked desserts containing chocolate , and some medications .
5 .
You might even gain weight .
When you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t give the body enough time to burn off calories from your meal .
So even though you might feel very sleepy after a big meal and crashing on the couch for a small nap is all you want to do , it ’ s better to try and stay awake if you don ’ t want any unwanted ( and unnecessary ) pounds to secretly creep in .
Bonus : How long you should wait to sleep after eating To prevent any problems like heartburn or sleepless nights from occurring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your stomach to have moved into the small intestine before you take a nap or go to bed for the night .
Nutritionists say that this happens in about 3 hours .
It ’ s just a guideline , but definitely one to keep in mind .

No one wants to go to bed hungry, but is it bad to eat before bed? In our article, we’ll tell you about the pros and cons of chowing down at bedtime.
1. You might get heartburn.
Normally, the acid produced when digesting the food you eat is contained in the stomach. Gravity is of great help here, as it forces the fluid stream downward. When lying down in a bed, however, the acid moves through the stomach and might come into contact with the sensitive parts of the digestive system. That’s why lying in bed with your stomach full can lead to heartburn, a painful burning sensation in your chest or throat.
2. The quality of sleep gets affected.
If you ate a large meal immediately before going to bed late at night, the full digestion process continues while you’re asleep. The reason for bad sleep can be different for everyone. It could be that your mind is more active during the metabolism stage, spending energy to digest the food you ate before bed, causing you to sleep less deeply. Another reason could be that you lie awake due to symptoms of heartburn. It also depends on what type of food you had and how much of it you ate.
3. Vivid dreams or nightmares become more common.
Remember the time you were tossing and turning in bed because of bad dreams? It can also be because of the food you happened to eat at night. As was mentioned before, your metabolism being triggered by your late-night eating causes your brain to become more active. You then enter a so-called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is the time when most dreaming takes place. So if you notice that you’re having really vivid or maybe even creepy dreams at night, try to lay off eating so close to bedtime.
4. You’ll wake up with the urge to pee more often.
Some people experience an increased need to urinate at night, which is known as nocturia. This can be related to the amount of caffeine in the food you ate late in the day. This means the food you eat could be a diuretic, or in other words, it makes you have to pee more. It can, of course, be found in coffee. But not many people know that it’s also present in other foods we might be eating before bed, like tea, baked desserts containing chocolate, and some medications.
5. You might even gain weight.
When you eat late and not enough time passes before going to bed, you don’t give the body enough time to burn off calories from the meal you were eating. So even though you might feel very sleepy after a big meal and crashing on the couch for a small nap is all you want to do, this decision may be bad for your figure. It’s better to try to stop eating before bed or stay awake for some time after eating dinner if you don’t want any unwanted (and unnecessary) pounds to creep in secretly.
Bonus: How long you should wait to sleep after eating
To prevent problems like heartburn or sleepless nights from occurring, it’s better to separate late-night eating from going to bed right after. You want everything you ate throughout the day to move from your stomach into the small intestine before you nap or go to bed for the night. Nutritionists say that this happens in about 3 hours. It’s just a guideline, but it’s definitely worth keeping in mind.
Have you ever experienced these effects of post-meal napping? What do you usually do after eating? Do you like to rest or do you prefer to engage in physical activity?

2. Holding your phone close to your face
Our cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats. Phones serve as magnets for buildup and bacteria, and throughout the day, makeup, natural skin oils, and environmental toxins accumulate on our screens. Every time we hold the phone next to our face we bring these germs onto our skin. It can cause clogged pores and breakouts.
3. Being exposed to the sun
Sun dehydrates your skin and makes the oil glands work overtime, causing the pores to look bigger. Getting a tan can temporarily mask the pores and make them look smaller, but in the long run, it will do exactly the opposite. Your pores will enlarge, and excess oil that plugs the skin will make blackheads even worse. Dermatologists recommend using sun protection every day to prevent pores from getting bigger.
4. Skipping toner
Pores that are clogged with oil and impurities for a long time can stretch permanently, and eventually, even deep-pore cleansing won’t help to minimize them. Leaving pores untreated for a long time can permanently weaken the pore walls. Toner provides your skin with daily exfoliation and helps to remove dead skin cells and impurities to prevent buildup and pore enlargement. Skipping toner means not allowing your skin to exfoliate naturally and quickly.
5. Not cleaning your makeup tools
Even if you follow a strict skin care routine, some of your lazy habits can still cause clogged pores. Every time you use your makeup brushes and sponges, they collect oil, dust, dead skin, and residual makeup. If you don’t regularly clean them, these tools can re-deposit these substances back onto your face, clogging the pores. Cleaning your beauty tools properly can reduce the transmission of excess bacteria onto your face and prevent breakouts.
6. Using hair products that contain oil
When hair care products contain oil, it can find its way to your skin, causing clogged pores. These clogged pores are usually found where the hair comes into contact with the skin, such as the hairline, forehead, sides of the face, and neck. Even if your skin isn’t prone to acne, hair care products can cause breakouts. This is so common that there’s actually a medical name for it: acne cosmetica.
7. Wearing waterproof makeup
Waterproof formulas often contain loads of silicone. This heavy ingredient can congest your skin and clog your pores, not allowing your skin to breathe. Using waterproof makeup on a daily basis isn’t recommended as it can aggravate acne-prone skin and is more difficult to remove.
Have you been guilty of any of these habits? Have you noticed the impact they’ve had on your pores?

At Bright Side, we know how easy it is to get attached to comfortable shoes, a shower pod, or a powerful food processor. But sometimes such items cease to be comfortable. Today, we’ve selected familiar accessories, devices, and clothing that used to be indispensable, but now have serious competitors.
1. A little black dress
Fashion never stands still, and even classic items can lose their relevance. For example, a little black dress in the style of Coco Chanel, which was previously one of the basic pieces of clothing, has been replaced by a little white dress. The trend has already been picked up by Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Bieber, and other celebrity fashionistas.
2. Beige tights
In the past, beige tights that matched the shade of human skin were an irreplaceable item of clothing that could be combined with anything. But today, they’ve lost their relevance: more and more often we can see black and colorful tights on the runway and red carpet.
3. Sports watches
Previously, this functional accessory could be combined with any type of clothing, whether it be classic or athletic. However, more feminine watches with a thin strap are regaining relevance today. They can complement an elegant look even better than a stylish bracelet could.
4. USB flash drive
Previously, USB flash drives were responsible for many important functions — they were used to store data, transfer files from one computer to another, watch movies and photos on a TV screen, play music by connecting them to a sound system, and more. But today, cloud storage, virtual machines and drives, and portable speakers have become more relevant.
5. Ballet flats
In the 2000s, every woman would wear ballet flats with their favorite jeans and dresses. But today’s fashion requires a little more variety. Currently, it’s preferable to combine a romantic look with sneakers or boots. Today, jeans pair better with loafers, Oxford shoes, or other footwear featured in men’s fashion.
6. A beanie
At one time, this cap was a must-have piece of clothing. But today, autumn-winter fashion dictates different rules of the game. Currently, Robin Hood hats with a diagonal lapel, turbans, and cowls are more in fashion.
7. A wet-dry vacuum
Previously, wet-dry vacuum cleaners could save the day for those who wanted to clean their homes without spending too much time. However, today this invention has a worthy competitor, the steam mop. You can simultaneously clean the floor and vacuum the carpets with it.
8. Beige pumps
Previously, nude-colored shoes could be seen on the pages of any magazine and they were believed to be good for any outfit. However, nowadays, shoes of contrasting colors are trendy, especially red and blue pumps.
9. A bulky crossbody bag
Previously, big, voluminous bags were perceived as appropriate for all occasions. But today, they’ve been replaced by no less practical tote bags, elongated totes, and leather backpacks.
10. Ceramic tiles
This everyday design solution for kitchen walls known as ceramic tiles has a significant disadvantage — the seams between the tiles are very difficult to clean. That’s why in recent years, removable glass backsplash, like this one by Skinali, which is much easier to clean, has become more and more popular.
11. A food processor
There were times when every housewife dreamt of owning a food processor. But today, such home appliances have lost their popularity. Instead of one bulky device, it’s better to buy several small ones that specialize in 1 or 2 functions, like a juicer or a yogurt maker, for example.
12. A food chopper
This kitchen gadget, which could be used to make mashed potatoes, smoothies, and ice cream, was popular several years ago. But today, people prefer ice cream makers and special smoothie makers. It’s so much better when there’s a special device to cook each dish separately.
13. A shower pod
In the 2000s, shower pods could be found in many homes. But today, they’ve lost their popularity because they take up too much space in the bathroom. Rainfall showers, which consist of a special showerhead attached to the ceiling, are becoming more and more popular. Accompanying shower panels will help you to experience a real hydro massage salon right at home.
14. A computer desk
Something as ordinary as a computer desk has already become a relic of the past. More and more people prefer laptops over desktop personal computers because they’re thinner and lighter. So a small coffee table will be comfortable enough to do remote work on.
15. One pair of glasses for all occasions
It seems that not that long ago, people would buy just one pair of glasses and that would be it. The glasses were supposed to be taken care of, and people would buy a new pair only when the old pair broke. The overwhelming majority of glasses had a similar shape that didn’t always look good on everyone’s faces. Currently, glasses no longer serve the same purposes. You can find many different options. For example, there are glasses designed for using at the computer, for driving, for sports, and, finally, for vision correction. Depending on what you need, you can easily select an option with anti-reflective coating or with special corrective lenses.

Not all new and expensive things are nice and not all cheap things are bad. And people that keep sharing their amazing thrift store finds prove this notion to be true.

Sometimes our pets make us feel completely awkward. We bet you’ll agree that there’s nothing better than going for a walk with your dog. It’s warm, the birds are singing and you both are in amazing spirits. And then your fluffy friend suddenly finds a puddle, lies down in it, and gets all wet and dirty. And as if that all wasn’t enough, after doing all this, they start to make bubbles with their nose.
We at Bright Side love animals and almost all of our authors have pets. But we still haven’t seen anything like the people from our article who’ve experienced the unthinkable with their pets.
“I noticed this little one had a bloated belly so I instantly rushed her to the vet. But the doctor calmed me down and said she was just fat.”
“They’re both standing here judging me as I squeeze my butt into my leggings.”
We asked the author of this Tweet to give us some feedback on how this story ended. We’re feeling worried now.
“I could’ve stopped him from chewing my boyfriend’s toothbrush or take a video...”
In any case, there can’t be too many cats.
How much more proof that cats can read and behave like this out of naughtiness do you need?
“My dog hitting my cat with a butt flip”
Yep, that’s weird.
“I step away from my laptop to get a cup of tea and the cat decided to close my work and open 15 new Windows support screens.”
“Bye, plant! The dog, in his turn, seems happy with what he’s done.”
“My wife and I are on our way to a wedding and we pulled over on the highway to switch drivers and as soon as we got out, our cat Diesel stepped on the lock button and locked us out.”
“I’m not even allowed to take a bath without this creep screaming at me and doing weird things.”
“So, you get a huskie. You happily go for a walk with him. And then this happens.”
“This little one likes to play aggressive peekaboo when visitors come over. Needless to say, it’s a very rude greeting for newcomers!”
“My dog has comfortable, expensive beds in every room of the house. His favorite place to sleep? My backpack.”
“My cat chooses the ONE person who is allergic in a room full of people!”
“This is my dog’s favorite toy. Watching the faces of people who are walking past when my dog is staring out the window with them in his mouth is brilliant.”
Has your pet ever done something that made you feel awkward and a bit ashamed?


brightside--2020-09-05--20+ People That Love House Plants More Than Candy

House plants are great decorations for almost any interior design .
They make the place feel and look cozy and more alive .
But you need to be careful : you run the risk of getting carried away with the process of buying plants and taking care of them .
This is exactly what happened to the people in today ’ s compilation .
Some of them realized that they had so many different flowers that they needed a separate room for all of them .
“ I ordered it without seeing it at a local nursery .
My wife @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got delivered 20 minutes ago .
It ’ s 11 feet tall !
” “ My wife kept bringing home nearly dead orchids from work that her coworkers stopped caring for after they lost all of their flowers , insisting she could get them to flower again.
” “ My grandma ’ s hobby is breeding cacti so she had to have the building they are in specially built because her house got too full .
She ’ s about to get another building to house even more.
” “ ’ Hey I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said as he dragged a whole tree into my kitchen .
What is this and what do I do with it ?
?
It ’ s over 7 feet tall and I am very afraid.
” “ Welcome to this little sneak peek into my wife ’ s plant room !
She has 105 house plants and isn ’ t stopping the collection anytime soon !
” “ My wife said I couldn ’ t have any more in the house .
So this is my office now.
” “ A section of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home feels like walking into a jungle.
” “ This collection started in winter with 3 plants my mom didn ’ t have room for .
I added 6 more , and this weekend , my husband threatened divorce ... ” “ A plant corner , a.k.a .
my favorite spot to drink my morning coffee ” “ It ’ s my birthday so my partner promised he wouldn ’ t stop me from buying any plants today .
In that case ... ” “ I don ’ t have space for any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ My husband ’ s family was having a contest of sorts to see who had the most house plants .
We won !
” “ My very first lemons !
I ’ ve waited 5 years for this moment.
” “ And so the obsession begins !
I ’ ve gone from 1 plant to 8 in a week .
Any tips on how to sneak more in without my husband noticing would be massively appreciated.
” “ When you get to the store for laundry detergent but enter through the garden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago , I bought a parlor palm and suddenly was addicted to indoor plants .
Yesterday , my husband said to me ’ I think that ’ s enough plants.
’ ” “ Oh , man .
I wonder if the husband will notice 2 new plants among the other 60 I have in the living room alone .
Let ’ s see !

House plants are great decorations for almost any interior design. They make the place feel and look cozy and more alive. But you need to be careful: you run the risk of getting carried away with the process of buying plants and taking care of them. This is exactly what happened to the people in today’s compilation. Some of them realized that they had so many different flowers that they needed a separate room for all of them.
We at Bright Side also love plants and we have some in our homes. We’re excited to see photos from people that turned their homes into a real live jungle.
“I ordered it without seeing it at a local nursery. My wife hasn’t stopped laughing since it got delivered 20 minutes ago. It’s 11 feet tall!”
“My wife kept bringing home nearly dead orchids from work that her coworkers stopped caring for after they lost all of their flowers, insisting she could get them to flower again.”
“I didn’t believe her. I was very wrong.”
“My grandma’s hobby is breeding cacti so she had to have the building they are in specially built because her house got too full. She’s about to get another building to house even more.”
“’Hey I got you something,’ my husband said as he dragged a whole tree into my kitchen. What is this and what do I do with it?? It’s over 7 feet tall and I am very afraid.”
Photos taken 6 months apart
“Welcome to this little sneak peek into my wife’s plant room! She has 105 house plants and isn’t stopping the collection anytime soon!”
“My wife said I couldn’t have any more in the house. So this is my office now.”
“A section of my boyfriend’s balcony — his home feels like walking into a jungle.”
“Took a family picture today. I have a few more.”
“This collection started in winter with 3 plants my mom didn’t have room for. I added 6 more, and this weekend, my husband threatened divorce...”
“A plant corner, a.k.a. my favorite spot to drink my morning coffee”
“It’s my birthday so my partner promised he wouldn’t stop me from buying any plants today. In that case...”
“I don’t have space for any of these but — whatever!”
“My husband’s family was having a contest of sorts to see who had the most house plants. We won!”
“My very first lemons! I’ve waited 5 years for this moment.”
“And so the obsession begins! I’ve gone from 1 plant to 8 in a week. Any tips on how to sneak more in without my husband noticing would be massively appreciated.”
“When you get to the store for laundry detergent but enter through the garden center...”
“About 2 months ago, I bought a parlor palm and suddenly was addicted to indoor plants. Yesterday, my husband said to me ’I think that’s enough plants.’”
“But what does he know? Not pictured are the other 18 plants that I’ve placed throughout this room.”
“Went to the local nursery and got the biggest plant. Love my new Rojo Congo! I have a tiny compact car and it miraculously fit inside.”
“I’m not allowed to buy any more houseplants or my husband will kill me! However, if you get enough plants, your husband won’t be able to find you in the jungle that your place has become.”
— “So proud of my living room jungle!” — “I bet you have the freshest air in the city.”
“Oh, man. I wonder if the husband will notice 2 new plants among the other 60 I have in the living room alone. Let’s see!”
