Once you meet sweet Livi Grace you will fall in love with her in an instant. She might be the cutest, most adorable two-year-old lady with the most vibrant personality. The amazing thing about Livi is that she is a true warrior who never quits fighting, which makes us adore her even more.
She was diagnosed with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and as a result, she had to undergo numerous surgeries and various medical treatments. Her bones are extremely fragile and prone to breaking.
Recently, a footage of her chatting to her grandma was posted on Facebook, and as you already assume, it stole our hearts.

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia explains that OI is a serious disorder that has lasting, lifetime effects on patients. The hospital’s site also tells parents what to look out for when it comes to diagnosising the condition.
” – Bones fracture easily
– Can usually be traced through the family
– Near normal stature or slightly shorter
– Blue sclera (the normally white area of the eye ball)
– Dental problems (brittle teeth)
– Hearing loss beginning in the early 20s and 30s
– Most fractures occur before puberty; occasionally women will have fractures after menopause
– Triangular face
– Tendency toward spinal curvature”
If you notice any of the symptoms listed above, your pediatrician may take the following steps to test for OI:
“Your child’s doctor will take a careful family history in addition to a complete medical history and do a physical examination. Diagnostic procedures for OI may include a skin biopsy to evaluate the amount and structure of collagen. But this test is complicated, and not many qualified facilities are available to perform the procedure. It is not unusual for results of the biopsy to take up to six months.”
Your child’s doctor may also run x-ray and ENT exams, as well as introduce audiometric queues to test response rates. No child or parent should ever experience what Livi and her family are going through, but Livi Grace’s mother, Lindsay Rae Wix never loses hope that at the end things are going to be just fine.

Livi’s positive attitude and the lovely smile she always has on her face tell us how brave she is. She never lets anything or anyone bring her down. Despite being that young and suffering from the illness, she knows how to live her life to the fullest.
During their shopping trip to Target, grandma asked Livi to put the slippers on, but she refuses to do so in the most funny way. Her sassy response is a clear sign she won’t let anyone tell her what to do.
Lindsay shared the footage of her spirited little one on her Facebook page, writing:
“Meet Livi Grace! Liv is almost 2 years old and was born with a rare disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. She has brittle bones and has had over 60 fractures since birth. She is an absolute JOY. We like to think God blessed her with a lot of sass to make up for what she lacks physically. Her bones may break but her spirit is truly, unbreakable.”
We can see that here, for sure!

This story will remind you that no matter how young you feel, time flies really fast and life is way too short, so we should always try to find something good and even a reason to laugh in everything that happens, no matter how bad it may seem.
This woman found herself in a quite odd situation. And although we know it could make her feel frustrated, it’s still something that made us burst out laughing. She had the opposite of a case of mistaken identity and got the shock of her life.
Take a look at it below.
My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his diploma, which had his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High school.
‘Yes. Yes, I did.’ he gleamed with pride.
‘When did you graduate?’ I asked.
He answered, ‘In 1967. Why do you ask?’
‘You were in my class!’m I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat, gray-haired man asked, ‘What did you teach?’

Brilliant haha!
I’m sure I’ve not aged a bit until I come face to face with some little old dear in my mirror……… then realise it’s ME!! Ouch! 😳😳

While some countries like Sweden tend to reduce work hours to six per day, many CEOs in the States and other countries expect from their employees to work endless hours. This CEO in particular asked the users of the advice website Quora how he can make his workers stay at the office beyond what they are supposed to. It’s sad how the bosses of the companies believe their employees should only focus on the work and ditch their social life.
However, it seems like young people nowadays respect their time which can be seen by the way this horrible CEO was told off. Take a look at some of the comments below and tell us if you agree with what people have to say on the subject.

Jade Helliwell is a young girl who likes having fun and hanging out with friends. She is very stylish and always tends to stay up to speed with the current fashion trends. Her choice of outfit, however, is the reason why people judge her at times.
It’s sad how we form opinions about people we meet for the first time based on their looks. There is always more to one’s story than meets the eye, but we only figure that out after we make a bunch of wrong assumptions.
Remember frumpy-looking Susan Boyle? If yes, you probably recall how people perceived her before they listened to her singing. Her voice surprised everyone around England and the world, and that speaks volumes of how judgmental humans can be.
YouTube
Well, something similar happened to Jade on a night out with her girlfriends which turned from ordinary to one of the most memorable experiences of her life.
While walking out of the local club in Leeds, she and her friends spotted a guy playing the guitar. They approached closer and Jade asked the street musician named Dawid Osial if she could join him and sing along.
YouTube
Looking at the way she was dressed, short, tight dress, and stiletto shoes, she resembled a party girl whose only talent was to choose the perfect outfit. At least that’s what the passersby believed. But Dawid was more than happy to let her give it a try. He stepped back from the microphone and asked Jade to show everyone how gifted she is.
No one was really ready for what followed. This beautiful girl blew everyone away. She demonstrated remarkable singing talent that left the onlookers stunned.
YouTube
Dawid was glad he didn’t turn her down and let her sing along with him. It was a duet we don’t get to listen to every day. The two performed a chilling rendition of “Hallelujah” and more and more people stopped by to enjoy the sight.
YouTube
The party girl and the struggling musician looked like a mismatched pair at first glance, but their magic seemed to work well together.
We really hope we’ll get to see more of this duo in the future. It would definitely be pity if Jade doesn’t pursue a career in the music industry. With her God given talent, she will definitely become a star one day if she decides to give it a go.
YouTube
Her angelic vibrato and his lower tones blended together are spine-tingling. Make sure you watch the video of the duo below.

Netizens were shocked when video footage showed a girl screaming in fright and clutching her hair as her own mother shaves her long locks of hair away. The reason? Apparently, she had discovered that her daughter had been bullying a classmate who was bald due to cancer. It was an attempt to provide a taste of her own medicine – for bullying.
Earlier on this week, the shocking footage emerged on Facebook where people claimed the mother carried out the brutal punishment after learning that her daughter had been teasing a classmate of hers. But other users online retorted that it was because the mother had found out the girl had posted nude pictures of herself online after pre-marital sex. No one knows what the real reason was due to conflicting sources.
The clip was first posted back in February 2017, but went viral once again recently after many social media shares on Facebook. Many netizens were disgusted by the clip, with comments such as: “This is very bad parenting” and “Wrong”. Other agreed, commenting: “She shaved her head. The hair grows back again and I think she will learn a lesson”, “serves her right” and etc.
The mother and daughter were both speaking Portuguese, although where it was filmed is unknown. Many people commenting online agreed that the mother had acted inappropriately – no matter what the daughter had done. The punishment was too much, and bullying others always starts at home – parents should never post acts of humiliation inflicted upon their children online. Do you agree with this?
Watch the footage in the video below:

Being a sibling is the greatest blessing from God. It means you will always have someone in your life whom you can trust and rely on even during the toughest of times. But, many times when a new baby comes into the house, older brothers and sisters can be a bit jealous, feeling like the sweet bundle of joy is stealing all the love and attention. The good thing is that even if this is the case they quickly realize that in that lovely creature they can find their best friend for life.
Tashara is a single mother who was expecting her second child. Her friend Justyce Shavue and other family members made sure everything goes as planned, and were there for the mom-to-be, helping with the preparations for the big arrival. But Justyce was a bit worried about how her friend’s first born would react because he was constantly reminding everyone around that he wasn’t ready for a baby sister.
But to everyone’s surprise, it was a first-time interaction to remember.

Once he meets the cutest creature his sparkling eyes has ever seen he jumps in excitement and simply can’t take the smile off his tiny face. He reaches out to the baby and can’t wait to embrace his sister. At one moment, he melts everyone’s heart when yelling out:
“My sissy!”
Facebook/People
When Tashara sees her boy’s cute reaction, she is all in tears of joy. It’s as though the purest form of love unfolds right in front of her and the rest of the family who got to witness the touching moment. Tashara’s worries of whether the boy will accept his sister faded away. He was constantly saying how he didn’t love her when she was still in his mommy’s tummy, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw her for the first time, and it was love at first sight.
He is indeed a big brother anyone could ask for. When the people gathered around them asked him to give his little sister a kiss, he is happy to do it, and we can hear them gasping a sweet “Awwwwww.” To be honest, we did the same thing while watching the video.
Facebook/People
Once the sweet moment was shared on Twitter by the children’s grandmother, it quickly went viral and was seen by more than 6 million people.
Justyce wrote about the family’s moment on Twitter, saying:
“Y’all , my best friend had her baby today and this was her son’s reaction to meeting his sister for the FIRST TIME. My heart.”
Watch the video and make sure you share this beautiful encounter with your loved ones.
It’s been twenty years since the first episode of the iconic movie “Sex and The City” aired, but the issues it discussed throughout the years, such as sexuality, promiscuity, and the never ending dilemma of how to find the perfect match are still tackling women from all around the world.
However, things change over time, and the definition of a healthy relationship today might be quite different compared to the past. While back then the role and the position of many women was underrated and the man was the boss of the house, it’s pretty different nowadays.
But one thing that didn’t change are the TV programs and the magazines that always find a way to attract women’s attention by listing various tricks of how to catch the man of their dreams. One woman came across an interesting copy of a 1958 McCall’s magazine. In that magazine, an article entitled ‘129 ways to get a husband’ caught her eye. She decided to share it, and it is every bit as good as you would expect.
So if you ever wondered, this is how the 1950s advised women to seduce the opposite sex. Interesting indeed! Take a look and tell us if you’d try any of these tricks.
This hilarious story will teach you not to mess with older people because they possess all the knowledge and experience of the world and may easily teach you a lesson. The witty comeback this old lady has for the officer who pulled her over is the best thing you’ll read all day.
An older lady gets pulled over for speeding…
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.
Officer: Don’t have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see….Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can’t do that. Officer: Why not.
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.
