THIS mind-bending optical illusion contains a secret image that could reveal a lot about your personality.

The picture shared by Tiktoker Mia Yilin shows two animals in the trees but also contains a hidden element that may not be so obvious.

In the clip, Mia explains that what you see first will tell you a lot about your habits and personality traits.

She explained that if you saw the black tiger and the bird first, you believe you are a “natural-born leader” and like to “keep things under control by being in charge”.

She said: “That is not to say you are a ruthless tyrant, but an attentive and sometimes charismatic manager.

“In times of need people often turn to you for advice because they know they can always depend on you to make things right.”

However, she warned that you should be wary of people trying to “take advantage of you”.

But hidden among the animals is something that you might not have spotted – a female face.

Mia explains that if you saw the beautiful face first then you are a “very patient person” who is able to face “the challenges and trials that come with life and like to go with the flow”.

She added: “This doesn’t mean that you are a pushover but you like to be the bigger man and rise above things by compromising and listening to what others have to say

“With that being said, you’re also very honest and like to give it to people straight.”

Many were quick to comment on the video that’s now been viewed nearly 40,000 times.

One person commented: “Scary how accurate she can be.”

Another added: “100 per cent correct, I saw the beauty.”

A first kiss, a kiss that rises Sleeping Beauty, a kiss to save Snow White from her death, a mother’s kiss on the forehead before sleep… kisses are what keep our hearts pumping. They are the most universal expression of love and affection.

There are so many forms of kissing as well, to show the different ways a person can love another person. Kissing is an intimate way of expressing passion and the most beautiful way to make someone feel special and worthy.

[resenting today as an interesting read for you – 5 secret facts about kissing that rarely which one of you readers already knew.

1. The authenticity of the French kiss

Before the intimate and passionate kiss between two lovers celebrated as a “French kiss”, it was known as “maraichanage” – also a French name. this word has roots in Brittany, a region in France. The names were replaced after the First World War, when American and also, British soldiers came back safe and sound from the war and the serving in France, welcomed by the passionate kiss from their partners home.

2. The Lengthiest Kiss

A couple from Thailand are the Guinness World Recorders in performing the longest, or, the lengthiest kiss in the world history. They were kissing for exactly 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. The loving couple Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat broke the old record in the 2013, and their record is still not broken!

3. Longest kiss recorded “on-screen”

This movie kiss only lengths for about 3 minutes and 24 seconds and it is contained in the movie “Elena Undone”, recorded in the 2010. The kiss is between two girls!

4. Phobia of kissing

as there are many phobias or things that people are commonly scared of, there’s also a fear of kissing! To be more exact, these people are afraid from “the idea of kissing”. The fear itself is called “Philemaphobia”, and it originates in the Greek language, from the word “Philema” that means kissing. The fear generally stems from the fear of exchanging germs and other bacteria.

5. Menstrual cycle can affect kissing!

Yes, you read this well! because we are expressing passion and endorsing hormonal changes in our bodies, kissing while having menstruation can affect the process of kissing. Especially how the kiss is expressed or felt from the woman’s side.

The study shows that this is “due to the alteration of hormonal levels in the body which results in various functions being reworked, which include the re-configuration of saliva”. Basically, this says that the partner “will taste and smell” a woman differently when she’s in her period!

When we are born, our parents are EVERYTHING we have in this world.

They are someone we turn to for support, guidance, and safety. They are someone we look up to tell us the rules of this mystery we are born into.

The truth is we are all human and we all make mistakes. However, to a child’s mind its parents are something A LOT more than just a human.

They are its creators, its caretakers, its guardians, and they’ve lived here before it was even born. Our mother and father are our goddess and god when we are young. They are the only thing we are familiar with in the midst of this vast unknown.

That’s the reason why what parents do and how they behave becomes a crucial part of their children’s psyche.

They are an example mold for our early consciousness, something to look from when it develops our character.

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice

Our brain has a lot more neural connections when we are young. It absorbs almost everything that happens around us with a purpose to better adapt in its surroundings.

As we grow up it holds on only to the most used neural connections and it gets rid of everything that we don’t commonly use.

Our mother’s and father’s voice is something that gets integrated deeply into our psyche, it becomes our inner voice.

The way they speak to us becomes the way our inner voice speaks to us, the way we speak to ourselves.

If they are angry most of the time they speak to us, if they are harsh and cold, if they shout and yell whenever we do something wrong, that’s how we’ll deal with ourselves whenever we make a mistake. But as we said, we are all human, we make mistakes and that’s ok. The way you approach the mistakes is how you learn and overcome them.

How to speak to your child?

An insulting inner voice can prevent us from trying new things by making us feel worthless whenever we make a mistake.

While a friendly inner voice can be our greatest support, guide and motivator in life.

That’s why it is crucial to speak to your child with kindness, love and honesty even if they make a mistake, or do something wrong.

You will develop a voice inside their head that will support them in life whenever they need support, even when you are not there.

Or at least you can try to avoid saying these phrases:

They are extremely damaging to a child’s developing character!

“Stop crying right now!”

Usually when a kid does something it knows will be punished for they start crying. But even though there is no reason for them to cry, that’s their emotion. They have all the right in the world to express how they feel. By saying this you are slowly programming your child to suppress its emotions.

Instead you should kindly say: “It’s ok to cry sweety, it’s ok to show how you feel. But that doesn’t make what you did a right thing to do.” Hug, and explain why it is wrong what they did.

“You are worthless!”

This is possibly the worst thing you can say to a child. Especially when you are the person and the mental figure they expect most of to be given approval of. By saying this, you are putting your child on a never ending journey to seek approval from the outside world. Instead of helping them find their own worth inside, you are letting them believe they have nothing inside to find.

There are so many things you can say instead of this, like: “You can do better!”, “Nobody is perfect.”, “It’s not your day, you’ll do better next time.”

“Big boys/girls don’t get scared!”

First of all, why are you lying to your kid. You are probably more frightened than they are throughout your day. Second, you are forcing them to reject what they are honestly feeling. Fear is not a bad thing, it reminds us when to be careful. You should not run away from it but face it, be aware, learn from it. And real courage is not being fearless, but facing your fear even if you are terrified.

Instead of this, tell your kid: “It’s ok to be scared buddy. All of us are scared sometimes. But I know there is courage inside you that will help you do the right thing even if you are scared. You are my little hero!”

“I am disappointed in you!”

Parents usually tell this to their children when they already feel bad. Trying to make them responsible for your disappointment is pretty selfish. You can be disappointed in a friend, you can be disappointed in a movie, or even your country’s politics, but you can’t be disappointed in your child. You are there to let them on a right path. So when they do something wrong, guide them back. Your disappointment is in your guidance, not your child. Teach your child what that they did is wrong and why.

Instead of this, tell your kid: “What you did is wrong, in my opinion. And I believe you made an honest mistake. Even if you chose to do what you did, I can assure you’ll realize it’s wrong after I explain. I know you can do better!”

“You are not [something] enough!”

By saying this to your children you are showing them a pretty restricted image of themselves. You are implying that there is something they are lacking in order for them to do what they love or be who they want to be. Even though you are not saying that they are not enough, you are programming their mindset that way. They are enough to be themselves. They always are. A tree is enough to be a tree even when it is only a seed. But it needs to grow in order to become what it is.

Our faces hold countless secrets, and it’s often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. However, there’s another feature that can reveal a lot about a person: the shape of their lips. Lips, those alluring and expressive parts of our face, come in various forms, and each shape can offer subtle insights into a person’s personality, character, and even their love life. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the intriguing world of lip shapes and discover what your lips might be saying about you.

1. The Full Lips:

Full lips are often associated with sensuality and a passionate nature. If you have full lips, you might be seen as someone who enjoys indulging in life’s pleasures, including romance and intimacy. You’re likely warm-hearted and generous, always ready to offer a comforting smile or a listening ear to those in need. People with full lips are often deemed adventurous and open to new experiences.

2. The Thin Lips:

Thin lips, on the other hand, can indicate a more reserved and introspective personality. You might be a deep thinker who values privacy and prefers meaningful one-on-one connections over large social gatherings. Thin-lipped individuals are often detail-oriented and excellent at keeping secrets, making them trustworthy confidants.

3. The Bow-Shaped Lips:

If your lips have a pronounced bow shape, you’re likely to be charismatic and charming. You possess a magnetic personality that draws people in effortlessly. You’re also known for your wit and a knack for turning even the most mundane conversations into delightful experiences. This lip shape often signifies a strong sense of self-confidence and the ability to make a lasting impression.

4. The Heart-Shaped Lips:

Heart-shaped lips are often seen on individuals who wear their hearts on their sleeves. You’re a true romantic, someone who loves deeply and isn’t afraid to express your emotions. Your caring and nurturing nature makes you an excellent friend and partner, always willing to go the extra mile to make your loved ones feel cherished.

5. The Round Lips:

Round lips are associated with a youthful and playful demeanor. If you have round lips, you likely have a contagious sense of humor and a fun-loving spirit. Your spontaneity and enthusiasm for life are infectious, and you often find joy in the little things. Round-lipped individuals tend to have a carefree attitude and enjoy making people laugh.

6. The Uneven Lips:

Uneven lips, where one side is slightly different from the other, can indicate a balanced mix of characteristics. You might be adaptable and flexible in various situations, and your uniqueness is often seen as an endearing trait. People with uneven lips often have a creative streak and a flair for the unconventional.

While it’s important to remember that lip shape is just one facet of a person’s overall personality, it’s fascinating how such a seemingly small feature can offer insights into one’s character. Whether you have full, thin, bow-shaped, heart-shaped, round, or uneven lips, embrace your uniqueness and recognize that each shape has its own charm. At the end of the day, it’s our actions, kindness, and the way we treat others that truly define us, regardless of the shape of our lips. So, let your lips express your individuality and wear your personality with pride.

Many of us have a habit of expressing too much to people who are not worth it. We like being an open book and don’t have an issue with it but clearly some people don’t have the ethics to keep it to themselves. They will often go around taking benefit of the knowledge they have about us, twisting it in their own words and expressing it differently to people who don’t know us. This leads to a bad impression and weird gossip and no one wants that. Everyone likes a bit of mystery.

This is why it is so important to know who you can trust and give out information about yourself, as not everyone will be nice about it. It is also useful to know what to expect from people and recognize their vibe.

In this world you cannot go around trusting everyone and getting hurt later just because you didn’t double check on them. Try to keep things to yourself when you get a bad vibe from a person. Trust your guts.

1. Past Resentments

We all have bad and weird stuff to share from the past. It can be anything from the girl you hated in school to your coming out story.

Firstly, you must try your best to let these negative feelings go. And if you cannot, the second best option is to communicate positively about it with your partner. Your partner will probably want the best for you and have constructive criticism to provide instead of lashing out on your stupidity.

You need to let go of the negative energy that surrounds you and you must try keeping a focus which you can carry on for your motivation.

2. Material Belongings

We all know that there are a few things which carry way more worth than their value in monetary terms. And yet we carry so much attachment with useless things such as cars and phones. It is good to believe in treating yourself but do not get too attached to anything that you buy, no matter how much you paid for it. It is easy to fall in the never ending hole of arrogance which might lead you to have an obsessive nature. You may not realize it but people will see it as a bad habit and will categorize you as a bad person. Be modest, it is the new sassy.

3. Goals for the Future

Even science says that you have high chances of achieving your goal if you don’t share it with other people. This is how it works: when you tell other people about your dreams and goals, they might demotivate you or try working towards it to steal it away from you. In the end, you will be left feeling as if someone else is living your dream and that you have no motivation any longer. Feel free to tell all about it once you have gained what you set your goals to.

4. Your Income

Never ever tell another person how much you earn. Only a handful of people should maybe know what you earn and they should be the people you share the workplace with, and maybe not even them. You don’t want everyone to know what you earn and where you stand financially. If you are rich, it will come off as bragging and, if you are not so rich, it will come off as whining. It can lead to changing the relations you have with other people in a drastic manner. When a lot of people know how much you earn, it will definitely change their behavior towards you based on their financial standing.

5. Good Deeds

It is known that doing good deeds attracts positive karma. It is absolutely true. Never let yourself be discouraged from doing good things or brag about it. Take a different perspective instead of making it all about yourself. This will cancel off the good you have done and you will come off as showy. Especially when you do a charitable deed, do not let yourself become a spotlight. The people who are in need should be worthy of attention, not you.

Peeing in the shower can be something you do occasionally without much thought. Or maybe you do, but wonder if it’s okay. Maybe it’s something you’ve never thought about doing.

So is it okay to pee in the shower?

Not only is this great for the environmentally conscious, but it’s also great for the planet because it saves water that would otherwise be used to flush the toilet.

Despite the water savings, you may be wondering if it’s safe or sanitary because you want to leave the shower cleaner than you entered it.

It’s true that urine isn’t as pure and clean as some people think, but most of the time choosing a shower drain instead of a toilet doesn’t pose a health problem.

Is the urine sterile?
Despite rumors to the contrary, urine is not sterile. It contains dozens of different types of bacteria, including staphylococci and streptococci, which are related to staphylococci and streptococci.

However, although the number of bacteria in healthy urine is relatively low, it can be higher if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Healthy urine is mostly waste products such as water, electrolytes, and urea. Urea is a product of protein breakdown.

Even if bacteria in urine enter your body through a cut on your leg, foot, or other wound, your urine is unlikely to cause an infection.

If you’re worried about urine on your shower floor and need to clean it up quickly, think about showering after a day at the beach, or working or playing outside.

Dirt, mud, and who knows what else is on your skin and hair. You’ve probably washed things off your body that are far less sterile than urine.

While it’s important to clean and disinfect your shower regularly, just a little pee on the shower floor or drain doesn’t mean you need to change your cleaning routine.

Rinse the floor again before turning off the water.

How about a shower?
As a courtesy, if you shower together or share a shared shower, it’s best to avoid showering.

What complicates the shared shower scenario is that you don’t know if someone else has a UTI or other infection.

Some urine can contain infectious bacteria, so you’re less likely to get something, especially if you have a cut or other open wound on your leg.

Infections such as MRSA can be spread through the shower floor.

What are the benefits of peeing in the shower?
In addition to convenience, many people favor showering because of its environmental impact.

Brazilian environmental organization SOS Mata Atlantica Foundation gained global attention in 2009 with a video encouraging people to pee in the shower.

Through advertising, they suggested that saving one toilet flush per day would save more than 1,100 gallons of water per year.

Also in 2014, two students from the University of East Anglia in England started the #GoWithTheFlow campaign to save water by peeing in the shower.

In addition to saving water, you can also save a little on your water bills and toilet paper costs.

Can Urine Treat Feet?
The practice of urology, where people drink their own urine or apply it to their skin, can be seen all over the world.

Because urine contains urea, which is found in many skin care products, some people believe that peeing on your feet can help prevent or treat athlete’s foot infections.

If that wasn’t enough reason to indulge in a pre-bedtime snack, research also shows that sleep deprivation triggers hormones that make you hungrier and more likely to make unhealthy food choices for breakfast.

But does that mean just any food will do for a snack? Not quite. You’ll want to pick a food with a high protein content to “stimulate protein synthesis in the body and helps to grow muscle.”

Here’s some ideal bedtime snacks that will help you lose weight and boost your overall health:

1. Greek Yogurt

Due to its high protein content, Greek yogurt is perfect to eat right before bed. Go for the low-sugar variety if you want even more benefits.

2. Banana

Bananas are a rich source of potassium, which is a muscle relaxant. They also contain other natural sleep aids and don’t have a crazy amount of calories.

3. Peanut on Whole Grain Toast

This is an ideal snack before you hit the sack because not only is whole grain bread filling, but it’s also packed full of protein and an amino acid that acts as a sleep aid.

Maybe eating food just when your body is about to burn fewer calories seems counter-intuitive, but it’s important to remember that eating at the right times is just as important as what you eat. The uncomfortable feeling of being hungry can plague you all night long, causing irregular sleep patterns.

A small snack can help you control and lose weight, so long as it isn’t high in fat and sugar. If you’re unsure what foods qualify, think of simple foods high in protein that aren’t difficult to digest.

4. Almonds

Snacking on almonds, pistachios, and other nuts is a great idea if you’re just about to sleep. Not only do they contain protein, but they also are high in magnesium: a great natural sleep aid!

5. Dark Chocolate

Chocolate is mostly seen as a treat, and an unhealthy one at that, but dark chocolate has a host of benefits. Eating dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or more can increase the production of serotonin (the feel-good hormone) and lower blood pressure.

We’ve all had weeks during which we skipped taking a shower for a day or four.

Sure, you may have started to notice an unpleasant odor, especially if you’re someone who sweats more than the average person, but it’s not really the end of the world.

However, if you’ve considered going longer than a few days without cleaning your body, then it’s time to scrap that thought because body odor will be the least of your worries.

Huffington Post created an eye-opening video that answers a question many of us have often pondered about: What happens to your body when you stop showering?

Instyle
Well, the answer is gross and slightly terrifying.

There’s a reason why people in the United States bathe as much as they do. The moment a person quits cleaning their body regularly, a lot of disgusting things start to happen, leading to some serious health complications.

Here are eight things that happen to your body if you stop showering for a month:

1. You’ll stink, but not for long

Shared
After a few days of not washing your body, you’ll start to smell. The odor is created by the “bacteria feeding on oily secretions from your sweat and sebaceous glands,” according to Mercola.com.

However, after a while the bacteria on your skin will be more balanced and you’ll stop smelling bad.

“At first I did smell bad, especially as I went without deodorant,” James Hamblin, an Atlantic writer who took on a no-shower challenge, explained. “But after a while, the idea goes, your ecosystem reaches a steady state, and you stop smelling bad. I mean, you don’t smell like rosewater or Axe Body Spray, but you don’t smell like B.O., either. You just smell like a person.”

2. You’ll be greasy and dirty
Not only will you smell bad for a while, you will also start to appear really greasy and dirty. You’ll feel your skin produce its own natural moisturizer, hence the oiliness, and you’ll also notice a buildup of excess dead skin cells.

3. You’ll be a germ machine
Your skin is already full of pathogens that occur naturally as well as those that we’ve come into contact with during our day to day activities. While some of these organisms are good for the skin, there are some harmful bacteria that also lurk on the surface, unless you wash them off.

These bacteria can end up making you sick when they enter your body through your nose, ears, or mouth.

4. You’re at a risk for skin infections

Everyday Health
Since your skin is now a reliable breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, you risk a chance of developing infections. Also, the extra sebum on your face will cause acne or puss bumps.

“While infection may not be a concern in the beginning, carrying a large load of bacteria on the skin can pose a problem if the skin barrier were to become compromised in some way. i.e. through a cut or scrape,” said Dr. Lauren Ploch, a dermatologist.

It gets even worse…
5. You’ll develop dermatitis neglecta
After going for a long period of time without washing your body, brown scaly, wart-like plaques will start to grow on your skin. Known as dermatitis neglecta, the condition occurs when there’s too much sweat, sebum, dirt and dead skin cells on the skin.

6. Your groin area will suffer
Be prepared for rashes as well as a condition called interigo, which is a yeast and inflammation combination that is characterized by itchiness and a burning sensation.

7. You’ll have fungus between your toes

Natural footgear
Like your groin area, your toes will also experience some complications. Fungus and dead skin cells will create scum and infections in between your toes.

8. Your head will be itchy
Your scalp will be riddled with dandruff, causing it to feel very itchy. Additionally, the heavy oil from the scalp combined with other pollutants will cause your hair to be matted.

Keep in mind that this does not mean that you have to shower every single day. In fact, excessive showering is discouraged by experts because, unbeknownst to us, some of the products we use tend to be harsh on our skins. Over-washing also strips our skin of healthy bacteria and oils.

Basically, moderation is key. Taking a shower every two to three days should suffice for most people.

You may think you’re doing your liver a favor by choosing a flavored soda over wine every day.

But drinking it every day is harmful to the liver – just like alcohol.

After entering the liver, the sugar in the juice turns into fat, which is stored in the liver cells. Over time, this can lead to fatty liver disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to severe scarring (cirrhosis). It can also kill people.

It is very interesting – they do not drink alcohol or drink much, but they have cirrhosis.

After 5-7 years, even one drink of alcohol per day increases the risk of liver cancer, heart disease, diabetes, colon, stomach and throat cancer.

How dangerous are alcoholic beverages for the liver?
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that drinking one or more sugary drinks a day for five to seven years can lead to liver disease. When I tell my patients this, they are often surprised.

How does drinking alcohol affect the liver?
When you drink sugar-sweetened beverages, most of the sugar and corn syrup accumulates in your liver. This puts stress on your liver cells and makes it harder to cleanse your body of toxins. If too much fat accumulates in the liver, it can lead to fatty liver, cirrhosis, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. However, exercise can reduce the risk of fatty liver.

How common is fatty liver disease?
We often see many patients with liver disease due to a lifestyle that includes alcohol.

Fatty liver disease is common. Alcoholic cirrhosis is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States, and obesity-related liver disease is the leading cause of obesity-related liver transplantation in the United States.

In the past 20 years, the incidence of liver transplantation for non-fatty liver disease has increased from 5.3% to 23%. This is a huge improvement.

How much alcohol can you drink without damaging your liver?
Drinking an aromatic drink once a week is good for the liver. Diet drinks are good but water is the best choice. Your body is 70% water, so it is important to drink plenty of water.

What are the symptoms of kidney failure?
Symptoms of liver failure include constipation, loss of appetite and impotence. There may be pain in the right side of the liver and lower ribs. Over time, your skin and the whites of your eyes will turn yellow.

If you have liver disease, will you be sick forever?
Fatty liver disease is reversible and treatable. Lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity, healthy eating, exercise and weight loss are important. There are also a few studies looking at the benefits of certain medications in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Ohio.

What better way to control fatty liver than cutting out fish or limiting sugary drinks?
If you are at high risk for kidney disease, exercise more. Walk a lot, exercise, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. If you do all these things, you can regularly eat soda without harming your health.

While many manage to move on and find new flames to ignite their passions, there are those who simply can’t extinguish the flames of their initial romantic blaze.

These zodiac signs, notorious for their sentimentality and persistence, are the ones who wear their heartbreak on their sleeves, wearing them with the kind of sass only the cosmos can muster.

In this article, we will delve into the cosmic tapestry to expose the 3 zodiac signs that never get over their first love.

Cancer: Nostalgic Dreamers Of Love

Lost Picture a moonlit beach, waves whispering secrets of long-lost love, and a Cancer quietly gazing into the horizon.  It’s not hard to spot these sentimental souls who never quite let go of their first love. Ruled by the moon and governed by emotions, Cancerians are like walking nostalgia museums.

Their first love is not just a person; it’s a memory carved into the walls of their hearts with a cosmic chisel. For Cancer, their first love is more than just a chapter – it’s the entire book they keep rereading in their mind’s library.  Every moment, every word, every heartbeat echoes with that bittersweet symphony of the past.

Libra: Eternal Romantics Holding Onto Air

They believe in the purity of love’s first bloom and see it as a benchmark against which all future love stories are measured.  Their heart might wander, but their memory dances around the edges of that initial enchantment.

Capricorn: Stoic Sentinels Of Unforgettable Love

Now, let’s talk about Capricorn, the sign known for its practicality and ambition. You might think they’re too focused on their goals to get caught up in the whirlwind of first love, but oh, how appearances can deceive!

Capricorns are the stoic sentinels of love, guarding the memories of their first love with steadfast dedication. Capricorns may seem like they’ve moved on, building their empires and conquering mountains, but beneath that resilient exterior lies a heart that still whispers the name of their first love when the world falls silent.
