Pregnancy can lead to changes in a woman’s nose, and for some, this transformation catches them completely off guard. A recent TikTok trend, under the hashtag “pregnancy nose,” sees women sharing their before and after pictures. In some cases, the difference is so striking that they appear like entirely different individuals in their pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy photos. Our featured protagonist also confronted this challenge. To a certain degree, it wasn’t just her nose that altered; her entire face began to resemble someone else’s.

In the present era, with nearly everyone possessing a cellphone equipped with internet connectivity, it becomes increasingly challenging to truly astonish us. Nevertheless, despite our ability to view images from distant corners of the globe at any given instant, there persist phenomena that elude the grasp of our imagination until we witness them firsthand: the hair of a guy who hasn’t been to the barbershop in 9 years or a woman who has almost completely transparent skin. Anyway, let’s see.
Have you noticed that different generations age each in their own way? It may be due to modern cosmetology or fashion, but we really do look different than our parents did at the same age. To show this difference clearly, we compared celebrities from different eras at the same age.

Nature has made our bodies wondrously full of marvels and curiosities that scientists are still researching today. For instance, most of us can hold our breath underwater for 90 seconds, without training, and yet in 2016, Spain’s Aleix Segura Vendrell clocked a time of 24 minutes. While he breathed in pure oxygen before immersion, scientists are still trying to figure out how he was able to do that.
Time doesn’t treat everyone equally, and some people gain more charm and appeal as the years go by. Hollywood celebrities serve as a great example of this, as some of the stunning famous ladies become even more radiant as they grow older.

Each era had its own culture, fashion and, of course, beauty standards. In some years, the thinness of models like Twiggy or Kate Moss was taken as an example.

We found out what beauty standards bother women around the world the most.
The skin of women of African descent might age 10 years slower than that of Caucasian women, claims a study.

In fact, the latter often happens in the entertainment world and we found a few examples of such.
Many newborn babies look like elderly people and the explanation is quite simple. They just have too much skin for the bone that exists underneath. That’s why the skin sags throughout their body and gives them a more geriatric appearance. As they get older, the bones start getting bigger and smooth out the sagged skin.

Clothes like underwear and socks are generally tossed in the laundry basket on a daily basis. But items like blouses, shirts and jeans can be worn more than once before they have to be washed.

Germs and other bacteria will definitely spread and therefore create bigger problems for you.
Two problems with movies and TV series are the existence of troubling double standards and factual inaccuracies regarding historical pieces. Emily Blunt has said, “With so many movies, women are held to what a man considers a feminine ideal. You have to be pretty. You have to be ’likable.” That idea on its own can create a lot of inaccuracies, but it’s only half the story since double standards aren’t only applied to women but also for men.

After all, a tattoo allows us to proudly wear on our skin what we carry in our heart, and that is what makes it so special.

But, we are not here to tell you what love isn’t, but which of your partner’s behavior shows that they look at you like they see you in their future.And for many people, love is forever and they know and feel it deep in their hearts and they work harder and harder every day to keep their relationship strong. They learn that it’s okay to make mistakes but also apologize later and make sure to resolve any issues that may be lingering. Even the smallest gestures are enough to keep their love burning and they don’t need anything more to keep them happy. However, there are cases where people feel that they truly love their boyfriend or girlfriend only for that feeling to quickly fade away.
Most people believe that intimacy means sleeping together as a couple and spending a lot of time next to each other. However, in recent years, more and more couples choose to sleep in separate bedrooms and feel happy about it. This doesn’t mean that they have problems, but that they simply think that this is the best choice for them.We believe that there is no shame in sleeping separately and even science agrees that it can work wonders for many couples. Make sure not to miss the bonus at the end!
There are people who don’t leave their house every morning without showering first. While this seems like the hygienic thing to do, some dermatologists believe that this could be harmful.

One of the moments that excites people the most is having an appointment with a beauty specialist. Normally, you leave the salon with a self-esteem that’s sky high.

A creative person is pretty much able to do the most amazing things with pretty anything that crosses their path.

That’s why Ayhan dazzles with his tattoos that look like something out of a fairy tale.
We usually judge a person’s age by looking at certain features — hair, skin, facial lines, or eyes. But these physical characteristics are not accurate clues for determining how old someone is. Especially since science explains that some individuals seem to biologically age faster than others.
