After finishing school, it can be hard for many of us to choose our future profession. Even popular stars didn’t know they would be actors or singers. This is why some of them have law degrees, some of them are doctors and economists. And maybe, the world would never hear the names of Eva Longoria or Dwayne Johnson, if they decided to take the career path they were going to take.

For 8 years, Desperate Housewives attracted millions of viewers around the entire world. The first episode was released in 2004, and the last one in 2012. It won lots of awards, becoming one of the most successful projects on tv. Many actors and actresses that were in the series are still developing their careers.

Life is a very skillful scriptwriter. It creates stories that can give odds to famous books and movies. In real life, ordinary people witness unbelievable coincidences, solve family mysteries, or enjoy sudden discoveries.

It’s probably impossible to find someone in Bollywood who doesn’t know actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Her style is copied by many Indian girls, and fans have created more than 17,000 websites about her. According to Forbes, in 2001, Rai was among the top 5 best movie stars of India. Moreover, she became the first Indian actress who was invited to be part of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

Celebrity relationships usually don’t last long, but couples like Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern managed to stay together for more than 3 decades. But this isn’t the only famous couple that can show us why fighting for those who we respect and love is worth it.

We are all aware that there is a long-time tradition of giving gifts for different celebrations. And gifts can come in many different forms: they can be cheap or expensive, big or small, complex or simple. But they usually express the feelings and emotions of the giver toward us.

On December 1, 2020, the famous actress, Ellen Page, ceased to exist on all social media platforms. Instead, we started seeing posts from a man named Elliot. Following this, Netflix changed Paige’s name in the credits of their films and series. Twitter posted, “So proud of our superhero! We love you!” This was a turning point, not only for the star but also for millions of people who face discrimination daily.

Beauty standards tend to change quite frequently. In the past, women used to wear corsets to make their waists look thinner, or even shave their hair to create the illusion of a lengthy forehead. They did it to correspond to the beauty standards of their times.

Bethany Hamilton is definitely an iconic personality in professional sport. Not only because she’s been riding the waves since the age of 3 and continues to take part in competitions at the age of 32. Bethany is the embodiment of persistence and strength, when faced with difficulties, because after fighting a shark, she was not afraid of returning to the sea.

In the past, the dress code for the Oscars was regulated. Men had to wear black tuxedos, and women had to wear ball gowns. However, the rules have become less strict over the years. Today, celebrities can come to the event wearing T-shirts and Crocs, and without their hair done.

Spending a vacation in a picturesque place is a wonderful thing to do, indeed. The memories of local cuisine and architectural sights keep warming our hearts for a long time after. But sometimes we get the brightest impressions not from excursions or exotic views but from hotels where the rooms don’t look like standard ones.

In many fairy tales, a prince charming meets a common girl, falls in love with her and marries her to live happily ever after. But real life is not that simple. Sometimes a princess who falls in love with a commoner has to make a difficult choice between her loved one and family. Japanese princess Mako chose to follow the call of her heart and was right.

Currently, design houses and brands are making small but important steps toward representation. Shoe ads, magazine covers, and advertising campaigns are now including people of different religions, sizes, and shapes. On runways, there are disabled models, and transgender models getting more exposure and presenting big products.

There’s probably a feature in all of us that we’d like to change. But the hardest part of achieving this is taking the actual step of changing, even though you might have every opportunity to do so. But when you see inspiring examples of people, who have highlighted their best aspects, or worked out some not-so-great ones, it feels easier to take the plunge.

In the US, the age of retirement is 67, in the UK it’s 65 and in India, up until 2022, people could retire at the age of 60. However, the birth certificate doesn’t always reflect a person’s true age and as people live longer, we also find that “old age” comes much later than we might have thought. After all, at 60, life is just beginning!

Flea markets and antique stores are like treasuries where you can find rare old valuables, elegant jewelry, and good things for your home. But you should be prepared to spend hours in stores hunting down a really good find!

Millions of people around the world live in rented houses and apartments. But renting a place is always a lottery because you never know what the landlord is like in advance. Sometimes, landlords come up with the most unpleasant surprises.

We all live within the walls of our own houses and apartments and we don’t see our neighbors very often. But sometimes they enter our lives thanks to their unpleasant actions.

Recently, filmgoers of all ages can’t take their eyes off the slender young man with the expressive eyes and auburn curls. The 26-year-old Timothée Chalamet has, in the space of just a few years, become a Hollywood phenomenon, the most influential man in fashion, and a symbol of the new, free generation. Furthermore, he has shown everyone that male beauty can be based on gender ambivalence.

All bodies are beautiful, and there’s no contesting that. Sometimes, however, scars or burns can make people lose confidence. That’s when a tattoo can work wonders: thanks to this kind of body art, you can once again admire and proudly show off your body, instead of hiding under layers of clothing.
