Boy decorates a lonely elderly woman’s house for Halloween to show her the joy of celebrating the holiday

0

The spirit of Halloween filled in the air and the decorations around the neighborhood reflected the joy everyone felt as the holiday approached. The neighbors put plenty of effort to evoke that spooky feeling, but one house, that of Mrs. Kimbly, was plain. No carved pumpkins, no decorations, nothing.

Kevin, an 11-year-old boy whose excitement grew with every passing minute, felt sad for his elderly neighbor. He hated seeing her house without any decorations. He knew she was old to be able to decorate the place herself, so he got the idea to help her. However, when he knocked on her door, she told him she hated Halloween and didn’t plan to celebrate it, asking from him not to disturb her again.

Kevin was sad. In the past, he did some chores for his neighbor. One time, he even mowed her lawn, and he had never seen her angry before.

Despite her words, Kevin felt like he shouldn’t let Mrs. Kimbly’s undecorated house clash with the festive spirit of the neighborhood.

As he was walking home, he thought about the lady’s words and couldn’t help but wonder how someone could not love Halloween. So, he decided to decorate her house even if she didn’t ask for it.

When he told his mom what had happened, she told him to leave Mrs. Kimbly alone, explaining that people have different reasons for not enjoying certain holidays. But Kevin was determined to make his plan work so he gathered plenty of decorations from the garage and even spent hours carving a pumpkin and headed to Mrs. Kimbly’s place. He was nearly done placing all those stunning decorations, which included a plastic skeleton he struggled to hang on one of the trees in her garden, when she opened the door and started yelling at him.

In her anger, she smashed the Jack O’Lantern Kevin worked hard to carve.

Ashamed, he apologized and ran back home. Tears started rolling down his face. Not because he was yelled at, but because he felt that Mrs. Kimbly would be alone on that special night when the entire neighborhood was very much alive and enjoyed the festivities.

As he couldn’t stop thinking about it, he put on the vampire costume he and his mom made, grabbed some candies, sat on Mrs. Kimbly’s porch and gave out sweets from his own bag to passing trick-or-treaters, explaining that Mrs. Kimbly wasn’t home.

After some time, he heard the door opening. Scared that he would anger his elderly neighbor even more, he grabbed the candy and tried to run away. But then, Mrs. Kimbly told him to return. Her voice was soft and she had a smile on her face. As she hugged Kevin, she explained that she was sad as the holiday approached because she didn’t have any children or grandchildren and seeing others celebrating together with their loved ones made her feel even more lonely.

But what Kevin did for her made her feel appreciated and loved. She said she was very sorry for smashing the pumpkin he carved for her and offered him some candy.

For the first time in years, Mrs. Kimbly felt the warmth of the holiday thanks to one determined boy and the kindness he offered to her.

10+ amazing hobbies that deserve a shout-out!

0

Most people have hobbies, and while some are rather ordinary, such as knitting or solving crosswords, others are unique. In general, the hobbies we practice offer an escape from the daily stress and bring enjoyment. They also provide a chance for personal growth by allowing us to show our creativity, and learn new skills and interests.

Below are the stories of people with quite interesting hobbies.

  • A woman shared that she and a guy she liked were on a date and he invited her over. She accepted the invite and went to his place. When she asked to use the bathroom, she noticed there were no towels there so she opened one of the cabinets. Inside, there was a bra. She was confused and asked him why he had it, to which he replied, “Please don’t mess it up, I need to deliver it to a customer tomorrow.” It turned out he was making custom bras. He then showed her his workspace and she felt a bit embarrassed. They didn’t date much longer, but it didn’t have to do anything with his little hobby.
  • The elderly neighbor, 78, who was living all by herself started having a young man over. It was all fine until the man living next door heard yelling coming from her house. He went to inspect and make sure she was fine. When she opened the door, he noticed her wearing a karate attire. Despite her age, she wanted to try something new and the man thought it was a great idea.
  • On a way home from work, a woman started crocheting at the bus. A man sitting next to her started inching closer, which made her feel uncomfortable. But then, she noticed him holding a knitting book in his hands. It turned out he was interested in her work. The two engaged in a conversation and stayed in touch.
  • This family is addicted to camping. So when the summer rolls around, they all pack their bags and tents and have a lovely time in the nature. The stories from every of those trips is wild; from tick bites, bear scares, a catamaran flipped over, to all their food getting soaked in water. But no matter these “unpleasant” experiences and saying “no more camping ever again,” they are off to the woods every year.
  • While many people enjoy gardening and planting flowers, an elderly lady sharing her hobby loves cultivating her beautiful mini gardens made entirely of moss, creating tranquil green landscapes that are pure enjoyment for the eyes.
  • Some time ago, a woman was asked to write a play for her friend. It was supposed to be a college assignment. However, the friends said she didn’t need it any longer so the woman decided to enter contest instead. She won it and that encouraged her to continue writing plays. Some of them are now performed in the local theater. This doesn’t bring much money, but it’s a nice hobby, don’t you agree?
  • “I create handmade soap flowers that can be used as decorations, so I want to make it my business, what do you think?” a woman shared on Reddit. Lovey, isn’t it?

Is my hobby, I create handmade soap flowers that can be used as decorations, so I want to make it my business, what do you think?

  • “In 2020, I started experimenting with growing strawberries, thinking the idea of scaling up seemed far-fetched. I never imagined I would reach a point where I’d be supplying restaurants and pastry shops across the city that loved the quality of my freshly picked produce.”

  • “I made this bracelet with white crystals and peridot, and it really has a forest vibe.”

Peter Morris, a 47-year-old father of two and owner of Little Dragon Pizza, died of cancer and the Prince and Princess of Wales shared their deepest condolences.

The royals met Morris back in 2023 when they bought 12 pizzas from him for the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team during a visit to Dowlais Rugby Club, Merthyr Tydfil.

When they heard of his passing, Kate and William sent a letter to his wife Tracey writing, “We can only begin to imagine what an immense hole he will leave in your life and my heart goes out to you and your family.”

In the past, Morris battled oesophageal cancer and ended up a winner, but sadly, he was later diagnosed with adrenal gland and liver cancer. He received the news around four months after meeting William and Kate. Their letter in which they expressed their sympathy and condolences was read at his funeral.

The letter from Kensington Palace read: “Catherine and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Pete and serving pizzas to everyone from the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team.

“We know that Pete was a hugely dedicated and highly valued member of the community which has been evident from the response to his passing.”

“I hope you can draw knowledge from the impact he had on so many people,” it added.

“You and your family are in our thoughts at such a difficult time.”

The news of Morris’ passing was shared on the social media account of his business. The outpouring from the community was immense, a testament of the greatness of this man.

May he rest in peace.

Should Prince Harry divorce Meghan Markle?

0

Rumors are that Prince Harry misses his old life. Back in Britain, Harry was a much-loved figure. He had plenty of friends and was heavily involved in royal engagements, serving his country the best he could. At the same time, he was also involved in philanthropic work, something close to his heart, but things slowed down regarding his charitable activities after his marriage to Meghan Markle.

Royal experts, among which Tom Quinn, claim that Harry is looking for a permanent “home” in the UK.

“As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles,” Quinn told the Mirror.

“He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he’s continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security.”

According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Meghan Markle is unsettled by the fact that Harry is dwelling on what might have been instead of focusing on the present.

“If Meghan is encouraging Harry to leave the past behind and move on, then I think it is a healthy move. They have made their decision, left the working royal family and left the UK,” Bond said.

Recently, Harry took an eight-day trip to London and New York all by himself, attending a charity benefit in California hosted by actor Kevin Costner and a dinner hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO), where he met with eminent figures such as Queen Mathilde of Belgium and actor Forest Whitaker.

Further, he made a stop at New York where he showed his support for some of the causes that he holds close to his heart; African Parks, The HALO Trust, and The Diana Award.

The Duke then visited his homeland and attended the WellChild’s annual awards ceremony in London.

Many experts saw this as a sign that he wants to find a purpose in his life and “assert himself” independently.

Will Harry’s wish to want more for himself lead to a separation with Meghan? Likely not, because he wouldn’t want his children to experience a messy divorce by his parents the way he had. But is that enough reason for him to stay in the marriage?

Princess Diana’s former Butler Paul Burrell said, “We all know” that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage is going to end in divorce, but if Prince Harry left now “he’d lose his children,” calling Harry “brainwashed.”

“I’ve always been worried about Harry. Am I the only person in the United Kingdom that is thinking that Harry (has) finally woken up to the truth?” Mr Burrell told GB News host Dan Wootton back in 2023.

“Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing? That he’s been brainwashed and that he’s been mesmerized by her beauty.”

He then added: “I personally know Harry and I think he’s always wanted to be a father. He always wanted children.”

“I think he would want to stay in that driving seat [and not split with Meghan in order] to watch his children grow.”

“If he left his relationship now, he’d lose his children because she’d keep them in America and he wouldn’t see them. But I have no doubt that when this happens – because we all know that it will happen – he will return to the United Kingdom.”

A possible divorce from Meghan, that no one wants to see coming, would mean Harry rebuilding his relationship with his father and brother, as well as the rest of the royals.

At this point, it seems like Harry has lost many of the things he has loved and has fought for while being part of the royalty.

Neglected dog arrives at shelter nearly starved to death — now he’s living his best life

0

Some animal rescue stories touch us so deeply that we are left with the feelings they triggered at us long after we’ve stumbled upon their fate.

The life of street dogs is never easy. They have hard times finding food and fending for themselves. During severe weather, they struggle to find shelters, and sadly, many die of freezing and starvation.

When a dog named Pumpkin arrived at the South Suburban Humane Society, in Illinois, he was so skinny that the chances of his survival were slim.

Emily Klehm, CEO of the South Suburban Humane Society, shared with Newsweek that Pumpkin was an “extreme case” that left them speechless. “He was severely emaciated and unable to walk,” she said.

Pumpkin received the much-needed medical help. His fur was shaved off and he finally got rid of the matted balls of hair that made his life a living hell.

“Thankfully, we got him into foster care, where he is starting to improve and stand on his own again,” the shelter wrote on Facebook. “His journey is still long, but we are incredibly proud of him so far.”

It didn’t take long until Pumpkin was able to stand on his own. What’s most, thanks to the love and care he has received, he’s now able to run and wag his tail at his rescuers.

“This little man is so strong and getting better every single day,” the shelter wrote. “[He] is progressing, and we cannot wait to see how much more he continues to improve!” 

The shelter is still unaware of Pumpkins previous life, but they don’t believe he ever lived around humans because he’s not used to walking on a leash or playing with balls and toys.

No one really knows where he lived before he was finally rescued and given a chance for a better life.

The shelter hopes they would be able to find Pumpkin a loving home. They believe it would be for the best if he’s taken in by people who have experienced with having dogs in their home.

The truth behind ‘R-rated’ Princess Diana photo

0

During her lifetime, Princess Diana, or the People’s Princess, was most photographed person in the world.

Many of those photos are until this very day considered iconic.

This incredible woman rose to prominence after her engagement to Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son and heir apparent to the British throne, now King Charles. From the moment the world learned of her, she was under constant scrutiny. The paparazzi followed her every move, and according to many, their relentless pursuit contributed to her tragic death.

Lady Di was a devoted mother who was willing to do everything for her children, Prince William and Prince Harry. She demonstrated that her kids were her top priority, even more important than royal protocol, by breaking tradition and attending school games where she competed alongside other parents.

On the day she lost her life, August, 1997, she was running away from the paparazzi.

Over the years, Diana traveled extensively, leaving an indelible mark on history captured through lenses worldwide. One of the most iconic photographs of her was taken in 1992 during her visit to India, specifically at the Taj Mahal.

Then-President Ramaswamy Venkataraman greeted her upon arrival, and during her trip, she attended the inauguration of the Taman Special School for children. Meanwhile, Prince Charles was attending a business meeting in Bangalore, allowing Diana to pursue her own activities.

Among these was a visit to the Taj Mahal, but the iconic photo later evoked mixed emotions.

Another photo that caught plenty of attention was taken at the time Diana still worked as a nursery school teacher in London. At the time, she was 19.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards was among those who wanted to take the perfect photo of the young girl who stole the hearts of the Britons.

At the time, he had just begun working as a photographer and was determined to locate the nursery where Diana worked. Going from person to person and asking where the preschool was, he finally found Diana’s workplace that was located in a London’s West End neighborhood.

After speaking to the school’s owner, Arthur Edwards brought Diana to a park nearby with two children.

“She posed up, and I did half a dozen pictures,” he told Today.

At one moment, Edwards, who has since photographed seven royal weddings, four funerals, and seven royal births, observed the sunlight shining on the young princess, a moment that changed everything.

“Everybody doesn’t believe this, but it is the gospel truth — halfway through, the sun came out and revealed those beautiful legs,” Edwards said, describing it as an “amazing silhouette,” and “iconic picture.”

Edwards added: “I didn’t do it on purpose, I promise. I didn’t do it to embarrass her, but it was such a good picture you couldn’t not publish it.”

After several newspapers picked up the photo, Diana was in shock and worried that she revealed too much skin. “I don’t want to be known as the girlfriend who had no petticoat,” she told Charles, as per Today.

Edwards and Diana continued working together.

The young Princess felt pressured by the media and was under constant scrutiny. They followed her every move willing to take as many pictures of her as possible and cover every aspect of her life.

Lady Di is still missed, and she always will be.

The dark-skinned model and the blue-eyed blond had children – Their appearance shows all the best from their parents, but there’s a dark story behind…

0

Jamie Perkins, a videographer and musician from Australia, met his future wife Nikki online. The moment he laid eyes on her photos, he was captivated by her beauty. Nikki, who moved to Australia from Sudan, worked as a model before she gained fame on the social media.

The couple captured everyone’s attention. And why wouldn’t they?

Jamie, who is blonde with blue eyes, and Nikki, a stunning dark-skinned woman, made an extraordinary couple.

The world heard of them when they started their YouTube channel where they shared their daily lives, family experiences, travel, parenting, and personal milestones.

Starting from the early stages of their dating days, to their engagement and the birth of their two precious daughters, Ava and Zoe, they documented it all.

One of the things that helped them gain a significant following was that they were an interracial couple who addressed cultural differences and challenges of being part of such a relationship.

Jamie and Nikki served as role models for many, particularly in fostering understanding and acceptance of interracial relationships.

Sadly, in 2019, the couple decided to call their marriage quits, which came as a shock to their thousands of fans. And although it seemed like they handled their divorce with maturity as they continued filming aspects of their lives, focusing on their individual projects and co-parenting their baby girls who have inherited the best of both their parents, the truth was different, according to Jamie.

Namely, he posted a video on YouTube in which he spoke of the reasons why he and Nikki separated, stating that she’d been unfaithful and was seeing an ex-boyfriend behind his back.

He also accused her of being abusive and violent.

“I’ve been quietly struggling for a really, really long time, and I’ve just been in fear, living in fear, living in survival mode, pretty much on autopilot for a really long time just trying to maintain my place as a father in Ava and Zoe’s lives,” the dad of two said.

Following the split, Jamie was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, situational depression and severe social anxiety.

Further, Jamie claimed that Nikki tried to “isolate him” from his loved ones, she was “controlling” and wanted to “destroy his career.”

According to him, Nikki was spreading lies about him with everyone he knew.

“I want to be able to give the girls the best lives that I can, but it’s just constant restrictions. I’m constantly having to give up more and more and more. Nikki just wanted my life to be as hard as possible,” he claimed.

YouTube

When he received an all-paid trip to Disneyland, he hadn’t invited Nikki to go with him and the girls and that angered her to the extent that she attacked him.

“Obviously, I wasn’t going to bring the person who abuses me on a trip like that,” Jamie said, adding that Nikki gave him a hard time because she believed he was getting old when he turned fourty.

“This is the sort of stuff I deal with,” he said. “I’ve dealt with violence as well.”

“She had come to the house and been violent. Punched me multiple times, kicked me, just been horrible. This was in front of the kids, in front of my mom. Things like this have happened throughout our marriage as well. Nikki was like two different people, and that’s what I always struggled with,” he claimed.

Allegedly, Nikki attacked Jamie with heavy objects multiple times, and during one of those times, he felt his fists clench, and he just left the house. He said he was never a man who would ever hurt or hit a woman, and Nikki triggering the feeling of him wanting to hit her back was enough sign that he needed to walk away.

“I’ve been in survival mode for years. My self-esteem has just completely crumbled. I’ve lost sense of who I am outside of being a father,” Jamie said in the video.

People took their time to comment under Jamie’s video, with many offering their support and thanking him for speaking up openly of the abuse he experienced.

“You have so much strength. Everyone always believes when women say they’re being abused but when men try to stand up for themselves they’re shut down. Thank you for speaking up and I hope you heal and hope this shows other men they can stand up for themselves,” someone commented.

“Damn, I can feel his pain. As someone who went thru trauma in a marriage, I totally get why you choose to be transparent now. The transparency IS a huge part of the healing process. I hope Jamie and Nikki get the happiness they deserve and eventually build a healthy relationship for the kids,” another person added.

This song was recorded in 1955, but it remains one of the most iconic songs ever made

0

Some songs never lose their popularity no matter how much time passes by and are simply meant to last forever. One such tune is Unchained Melody. Not many know that the song was first written for the film Unchained, which is a story about a prisoner who is torn between two choices; to finish his sentence or to escape prison and see his family.

With the music written by Alex North and the lyrics by Hy Zaret, Unchained Melody is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by The Righteous Brothers.

It regained its popularity after it was featured in the film Ghost in 1990. The scene in which Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore make pottery together while the song is on in the background is considered iconic by many.

One of the videos of The Righteous Brothers’ rendition has been seen over 76 million times.

“I swear I can feel the chills going up and down my back when he hits those high notes. I feel like crying knowing that this amazing man is gone,” one fan commented under the video.

Elvis Presley was another prominent artist who gave Unchained Melody new life.

The perfect combination of this song and Elvis’ out-of-this-world vocal abilities triggered deep emotions whenever he performed it.

YouTube

In the video below, the legendary Unchained Melody is played by several different orchestras which all go with their own versions, creating an enchanting rendition.

All the participants are in uniforms so we get to see the “soft” side of the members of the military personnel. The sound of sousaphones, drums, clarinets, horns and more only add to the beauty of the performance which takes place in a full stadium in Bremen, Germany, in 2002.

Ex-model on addiction and homeless life: ‘I’m in a lot of pain’

0

Once considered a bombshell who posed for a slew of magazines, Loni Willison is now a homeless person often spotted digging through California dumpsters.

According to the ex-fitness model, her life fell apart following her divorce from Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson.

 X17 Online spoke to Loni in May, 2023. In the interview, she blamed her ex, whom she accused of trying to strangle her once, for her downward spiral.

“My ex-husband. Getting married. At least I got divorced,” she said when asked what the reason for her being homeless is. “He set everything up to do this to me.”

Loni and Jeremy tied the knot in 2012 and their union ended two years later. Loni then suffered mental breakdown, anxiety and depression. Her breakdown, combined with addictions to alcohol and crystal meth, led to her losing her job and her home, making her a homeless person.

According to reports, she has been offered help on several occasions, but she refused, asserting her independence. She was quoted saying, “I don’t need help. I have everything I need.”

Speaking to X17 Online, Loni said she was in a lot of pain, claiming she can’t live indoors because someone “electrocuted” her every day for nearly a year and she now can’t be any near appliances or exposed to electricity.

“I think because I [pick up] on electricity, I also pick up on other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wire, different types of metals. So I think my body even filters that kind of stuff,” she said.

“I’m not sure exactly, I’d have to go through a big X-ray, sonogram machine or something to see that. It’s pretty intense.”

The former spouse of the Baywatch star appeared to have lost some of her upper front teeth.

Her ex, who is active on the social media, has experienced some rough times himself since Baywatch. In 2017, he was sentenced to 270 days in prison and put on probation for five years after striking a plea deal for allegedly stabbing a woman in LA in 2015. He has also battled addictions.

As of Loni, her days are tough and she struggles to make ends meet while trying to provide food for herself with the few belongings she keeps in the shopping cart she carries with her wherever she goes.

The once gorgeous blonde model is unrecognizable in the her dumpy, dirty clothes.

Following the death of her 21-year-old son, mom finds baby toys on his grave

When Leonard turned 18, his parents were eager to see him attend law school. They always imagined their son being a successful lawyer, running his own firm. But the moment Leonard told them his dream was to become a musician, their world crushed.

Both his parents, Kenneth and Lily, were convinced they knew what was best for their son and refused to support him in pursuing a career in music. This decision led to a heated argument after which Leonard left his parents’ home.

For three long years, they didn’t talk to each other. Lily and Kenneth tried reaching out but Leonard shut them out completely. They knew he was well because some family members he stayed in touch with provided them with updates on him every now and then. They hoped His parents hoped Leonard would contact them when he stopped being mad at them, but sadly, that day never came.

Liam Payne’s cause of death revealed: One Direction singer’s tragic death at 31

0

Liam Payne, the former One Direction band member, died on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Payne traveled to Argentina on September 30 to watch One Direction co-star Niall Horan on tour after. Previously, he joked about wanting to “square up a couple of things” with his former bandmate.

While there, Payne shared videos of himself and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who left the country two days prior to her boyfriend’s tragic passing.

The reason why she returned home from Argentina without Payne was that she couldn’t stay at one place for too long, stating on TikTok that “we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks.”

She added: “I was just like, ‘I need to go home.’ I was so happy to be home. It was so relieving.”

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – OCTOBER 16: Police and firefighters work the scene at Casa Sur hotel where former One Direction member Liam Payne reportedly died on October 16, 2024 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to the Buenos Aires police department, Payne fell from the window of the hotel he was staying at in the Palermo neighborhood, one of the most well-known areas in Buenos Aires.

On the last photo he shared on his social media, Payne posed alongside Cassidy. It has been reported that he died minutes later.

On that tragic day, a worker at the hotel called 911 and reported a guest who was “behaving erratically.” After smashing his laptop, Payne was forced into his room.

“We have a guest who is off his head on drugs and alcohol, and well, when he is conscious he is destroying everything in the room,” the worker who made the call said. “And we need you to send someone, please.”

The report from National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No. 14. stated that Payne died from “polytrauma, internal and external hemorrhage,” further stating that he was “going through some kind of outbreak due to substance abuse.”

The case is being investigated as a “doubtful death,” though it appears Payne was alone at the time of the fall.

Sadly, Payne wasn’t a stranger to substance abuse. In fact, he was open of his struggles with “pills and booze” addiction at the height of his fame.

“In the band… the best way to secure us, because of how big we’d got, was just to lock us in our rooms. What’s in the room? A mini-bar,” he said in a 2021 interview on the The Diary of a CEO podcast. “So at a certain point I thought, I’m just going to have a party-for-one and that seemed to carry on for many years of my life. Then you look back at how long you’ve been drinking and you’re like, ‘Jesus Christ, that’s a long time.’”

In May 2023, he shared with his fans that he was 100 days sober and feeling great about it.

One Direction, the band that competed on X Factor, was signed by Simon Cowell, and turned to be one of the most famous boy bands in history, helped Payne reach worldwide fame.

They were adored by millions and worshiped by legions of fans who are now heartbroken by the musician’s loss.

“He was my favorite,” Camila Martínez, a 24-year-old mourning outside the hotel in Argentina, told the New York Times. “My heart shattered when the band split. My life was tough, and I’d turn to their music whenever I felt sad.”

British singer-songwriter Rita Ora, who collaborated with Payne on the song For You, posted on X. “I’m devastated,” she wrote. “He had the kindest soul, I will never forget. I loved working with him so much – he was just such a joy to be around on and off stage. This tragic news breaks my heart. Sending all my love and prayers to his family and loved ones.”

His former bandmates released a joint statement.

Payne’s One Direction bandmates also released a joint statement on his death this afternoon:

“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing,” the Hollywood Reporter. “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” 

We are so sorry for this devastating loss. Rest in peace, Liam Payne.

In a two-hour talk with Elon Musk, Donald Trump claims domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign

0

Starting 42 minutes later than planned due to technical difficulties, the interview former president Donald Trump gave on X was heard by over 1 million people. It has been said that Elon Musk expected around 8 million people to join in the talk that Trump dubbed the “greatest interview ever.”

The X owner and Tesla CEO has been a supporter of Trump, and he showed that again when he joined the former president on the stage at his high-profile rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — the same place Trump was nearly assassinated in July.

The billionaire was seen wearing a hat with “Make America Great Again” written on it and his signature “Occupy Mars” shirt.

Trump started the discussion giving detailed insight of the assassination attempt on him. He then accused the Democrats for violently replacing Baden on the presidential ticket with Musk commenting, that the party “took [Biden] out back behind the shed and basically shot him.”

Further, Trump tackled the issue of inflation, saying, “I think we have the worst inflation we’ve had in 100 years… bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago.”

As expected, he attacked his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, for various issues, including immigration, saying that the current government has let criminals and non-productive people cross the border and get into the States. He also stated that Harris was becoming a “radical left, San Francisco liberal… and now she wants to be more Trump than Trump.”

Trump left many stunned with his statement that domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign, declaring that North Korean, Chinese, and Russian leaders were “at the top of their game.”

“They are tough, they are smart and they are vicious,” he said.

Trump claimed that American farmers struggled to sell their products abroad and that selling US cars in Europe was “impossible.” He also exaggerated the US aid to Ukraine and downplayed

Europe’s contributions in its conflict with Russia. However, most of the claims he made were dubbed false by the media following his interview.

“We have a deficit with [the EU] of $250 billion, which people don’t know,” the former president stated. “It sounds so nice—’the European Union’. But let me tell you: they’re not as tough as China, but they’re bad. And I let them know it, and that’s probably why they notified you. No, they don’t treat our country well.”

Though Musk shares many political views with Trump, his support for him throughout the recent years has been off again, on again.

Back in 2022, Much posted on Twitter, “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”

The two, however, agreed on the issue of COVID19 and were against restrictions. Further, their bond got stronger after Musk’s companies faced a number of federal investigations over employment practices, his takeover of Twitter and claims about Tesla’s autopilot feature under Biden’s administration.

Speaking to Yahoo News,  journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild spoke of Trump’s change of election landscape, which is becoming increasingly less reliant on traditional media.

“New voters, the people who are just getting involved in the electoral process, those are people you can reach through streamers, through podcasts, through influencers. So it’s a very smart strategy,” Rothschild told the outlet. “It’s not the hour-long cable news special, it’s not the press conference. … Trump himself has completely upended what it means to be campaigning.”

Following the two-hour long interview, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign said that Trump’s “extremism” was on “full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight.” 

“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class.”

Tom Brady and the ‘mystery model’ have been casually ‘hooking up’ this summer

0

Dubbed one of the most handsome and most successful sport players, Tom Brady, model Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband, is having someone new in his life.

Brady and Bündchen were a much loved celebrity couple and their separation was a shock to many of their fans as their marriage seemed picture-perfect. Sadly, after two children and 13 years of marriage they decided to call it quits.

After being linked with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon, Page Six reported that Brady was seen flirting with model Irina Shayk. According to the magazine, the two were reportedly dating.

However, the newest stories are that Brady is in fact seeing someone else, 27-year-old model Brooks Nader.

Prior to the news, the two were spotted together in public a handful of times and were said they were “casually dating.”

The pair attended Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fourth of July white party together, but at the event, Brady was also spotted chatting to other women. 

Nader, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2019, recently separated from her husband, Billy Haire, with a representative confirming, “The split is amicable.” Following the breakup, she was seen holding hands with Prince Constantine Alexios at a wedding in June.

Brady has three children, 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian whom he co-parents with Bündchen and an older son whom he has with actress Bridget Moynahan, the I Robot star. The two dated for two years, from 2004 to 2006 before he started dating the Brazilian model. “Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for their family, and I’m dealing with a certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation”, Tom said at the time he learned Moynahan was carrying his child while he had already started dating Bündchen. “And some people have dealt with death in the past and that’s incredibly difficult.”

When rumors emerged that the seven Super Bowls winner dated Kardashian and Witherspoon, they all denied the rumors. “Kim and Tom have friends and business partners in common,” but the pair is not dating, Brady’s representatives told E! News. People close to Kardashian said, “Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school, and preparing for American Horror Story, which starts production next month.”

As of Witherspoon, who recently separated from her husband, both she and Brady shut down the rumors of their alleged relationship. In fact, they both said that they have never even met.

Speaking of Brady, his ex-wife said, “Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever,” Bundchen admitted to Vanity Fair. “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”

With tears in their eyes, Jase and Missy Robertson make the heartbreaking announcement

0

Mia Robertson, the youngest daughter of Duck Dynasty’s Jase & Missy Robertson, has been born with a condition known as cleft lip and palate, a gap in the upper lip that can involve the gum as well.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shares that about one in every 1,600 babies is born with a cleft lip with a cleft palate in the U.S.

Because of her condition, sweet Mia, who is now 18 years old, has been forced to undergo 13 surgeries, with the 14th taking place just recently. The family truly hopes this would be Mia’s last procedure before her problem is finally solved.

Throughout every surgery, the young girl remains positive. What’s most, she hopes she serves as inspiration for other young children who are born with the same condition. On her own initiative and with the help of her family, Mia established the Mia Moo Fund in order to assist in making certain that each and every child wears a smile on their face.

“One of the functions of the Mia Moo Fund is to spread awareness of the cleft lip and palate journey,” Missy Robertson told Christian Post. “The other one is to help with medical funds for the parents and the families living right here in America.” 

On his podcast Unashamed, Jase Robertson shared an update on Mia’s condition and said that his daughter is recovering well.

“She’s doing great. She’s turned a corner,” he said, and then added, “Everything seems great, seems to be fine.”

“Surgery went a little longer than expected, but she is home and recovering,” the loving father told his podcast listeners. “Thank you for praying for her and for our family. She is a champion!”

Before the surgery took place, Missy spoke of her daughter’s condition and explained that she had been constantly asked about the number of procedures Mia would need to undergo in the future. “There is never any other response than ‘We just don’t know,’” Missy said. She then added that they rely on God for assistance. “Since she is 18 now, she is taking the lead in all the discussions and medical forms. It’s been a little strange,” Missy wrote. “But it’s just another reminder to lean on the Lord and that I’m not in control.”

Mia also hopes that she’s at “the finish line.”

“Hopefully the last time I’ll see my doctors in this setting! It’s been a long road but we are at the finish line,” brave Mia said.

Sadly, in the past, 2002 to be exact, the family suffered the loss of their unborn child. Missy suffered miscarriage between eight and ten weeks into her second pregnancy and that loss deeply affected them, both physically and emotionally. Mia was welcomed into the world shortly after.

The Robertson’s have now been preparing for a new addition to the family as they open the doors to their hearts and home for a child whose mother was unfit to take care of.

We wish Mia speedy recovery.

Prince Harry took an eight-day trip without Meghan Markle – This is the reason

0

Prince Harry’s recent solo appearances have sparked speculations about what future might hold for him now that he turned 40.

In the past, Harry was mainly seen attending events together with his wife Meghan Markle, but recently, he took an eight-day trip without her by his side.

Among the rest, Harry attended a charity benefit in California hosted by actor Kevin Costner and a dinner hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO), where he met with eminent figures such as Queen Mathilde of Belgium and actor Forest Whitaker.

Further, he made a stop at New York where he showed his support for some of the causes that he holds close to his heart; African Parks, The HALO Trust, and The Diana Award.

The Duke then visited his homeland and attended the WellChild’s annual awards ceremony in London.

The fact that he appeared alone at these meaningful events has been seen as a sign that he’s trying to find a meaning in his life and “assert himself” independently, biographer Phil Dampier, author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan In Their Own Words, suggested.

“Harry sometimes feels like a spare part, and he often looks unhappy when he’s out with Markle at events in California. I think he has reached a point where he wants more for himself. He’s turned 40 and must be asking himself what the future holds,” Dampier told Daily Mail.

It has been highly debated withing the royal experts’ circle that the Duke misses his old life. He misses his family, his friends, and everything Britain represented for him. Some even claimed that he’s been looking for a home back home in order to have his own place whenever he visits his homeland.

“I’m sure he’s lacking some mates he can go out with for a beer and truly relax,” Dampier said as the media reported Harry met with some of his old friends for a lads-only weekend getaway for his 40th birthday.

“The more he does things on his own and carves out some new projects, the more likely it is he can heal himself and eventually some of the divisions with his family, but it’s going to be a long road,” the royal expert continued.

Other prominent royal experts, such as Tom Bower, has seen Harry’s solo trip as a significant shift in his lifestyle and strategy.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams added: “These are undoubtedly exaggerated, but they highlight his increasingly awkward situation. He has a deep rift with his family. His New York appearances may give him a brief boost.”

The public also had their say on the matter, with many commenting that solo trips and events of this kind are exactly what Harry needs in order to boost his self-confidence and find his true self.

“The first real sign that his marriage is coming apart as she would never have missed the opportunity to party with Costner, etc. She would have crawled there, but used it as a power battle and lost,” someone wrote. “He does alright when he’s by himself. He certainly looks much happier. There’s really no reason for Meghan to tag along to every event. They should keep their projects separate in the future,” another added.

“I think it’s best Harry does these events by himself. He appears to be much happier and relaxed when Meghan is not there, and people genuinely seem happy to see the old Harry,” a third commented.

Do these events that Harry attended all by himself represent the start of a new chapter in his life? We’ll have to wait and see.

People share dating experiences that went horribly wrong

0

When going on a first date, most of us hope for magic and sparks, but the reality can be way more different than that. Sometimes, first dates can be awkward and make us leave the place as soon as possible.

Below are some stories of unexpected dating mishaps, make sure you check them out.

1. Thank God It’s Over

This first date ended wrong because the person a Redditor decided to go out with was so entitled, he made the night all about himself. He spent the first hour complaining about every aspect of his life, without giving the woman any chance to say anything about herself.

He went to the extreme to order food for her without even consulting her choices and then spilled the juice all over himself but blamed the staff while asserting the superiority of his home country.

As the evening proceeded, he expressed his desire to become a manager and fire everyone he would see as incompetent.

When they finally asked for the check, she suggested splitting it, but he started yelling at her. In order to avoid making a scene, she let him pay for it and then let him walk her home. Once at her door, she said goodbye but he tried to force himself on her. She pushed him and then threw the money for her part of the bill at him and told him to leave.

Thank God she hadn’t heard from him again.

2. Making the Exit

This Redditor went on a date with someone who insisted on dining at one of the fanciest and most expensive restaurants. However, she spent the entire night using her phone, taking phone calls and answering messages. She wasn’t really interested in engaging in any meaningful conversation because she was apparently too busy.

The waitress noticed how awkward this situation was so she discretely offered separate bills which allowed the OP to settle his bill before leaving the place.

3. A Kiss for Two

A man in the Air Force, 18 at the time, was on a date set up by his roommate. It was a double date, and they decided to watch a movie. However, everyone was stunned when this man’s date brought up a giant stuffed rabbit named Pebbles with her. After the movie, they had some ice cream and drove to his date’s cousin’s home. Before entering the place, the date asked from the man to kiss not only her but her stuffed rabbit as well to avoid any jealousy.

No matter how crazy that sounded, he did kiss both.

4. Calling It Quits

A man went on a blind date and was baffled to see his date arriving at the theater with her parents and her nine-year-old brother who joined them for the movie. As they started watching the film, her brother kept kicking the man’s seat.

He could no longer endure the situation so he excused himself to the restroom but left the place instead. And yes, he added that his date looked nothing like her online photos.

5. A Baffling Request

A woman shared the story of a truly awkward first date that took place at the London Zoo. She said she was surprised when her date asked her to pay for her ticket. She agreed and then he pulled out a two-for-one voucher, which allowed him to enter for free while she did pay for her ticket. What a baffling move!

6. A Major Turn Off

While having dinner with a man, a woman noticed his wedding ring accidentally slip out of his pocket when he reached for his wallet. Disgusted by the situation, she immediately threw some cash on the table and decided to walk home. It was a rare occasion where circumstances were too repulsive for her to have an appetite.

During a first date, a woman noticed her date’s wedding ring accidentally slipping out from his pocket while he was reaching for his wallet. She immediately took some money and threw it on the table before fleeing the restaurant without saying a word.

7. Where’s the Check?

A man was left in shock when his date told him that she was engaged but wanted to go on a couple more dates just to be sure that her chosen one was the right person for her. As expected, he asked for the check and left.

Dating, no matter how simple it may seem to be, can sometimes be like a roller-coaster ride. And yes, it does take a few awkward dates sometimes before getting to the right one, don’t you agree?

Prince William wanted his brother and Meghan to marry in ‘small village church’

0

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding resembled a fairytale.

From the moment the world learned the two were dating, everyone was eager to see how things between them would unveil, and not long after, Prince Harry popped the question during a quiet night at home while Meghan was roasting a chicken.

Recalling that special moment, the former Suits star said, “It was just so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let [him] finish proposing. I was like, ‘Can I say yes now?’”

Anwar Hussein/Getty Images

The beautiful ceremony of tying the knot between Harry and Meghan took place on on May 19, 2018. Among the guests were a lot of celebrities such as George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Serena Williams, James Corden, and Oprah Winfrey. Meghan wore a wedding dress designed by Givenchy’s then-creative director, Clare Waight Keller, and the stunning Queen Mary’s bandeau tiara which belonged to the Queen’s grandmother, Queen Marry.

Before the wedding, Harry and his brother William allegedly got into an “argument” over the venue of the lavish ceremony.

In his memoir Spare, Harry recalled that he initially suggested he and Meghan marry at Westminster Abbey, but William wasn’t happy with the idea since he and Kate married there seven years prior. Then, when Harry proposed St. Paul’s Cathedral, his brother said, “Too grand,” adding: “Plus, Pa and Mummy did it there,” according to Harry.

As the conversation proceeded, William made a suggestion on his own, telling his brother he and Meghan should marry at Tetbury, an intimate location near King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s royal residence of Highgrove House, Gloucestershire.

“I snorted. Tetbury? The chapel near Highgrove? Seriously, Willy? How many does that place seat?” Harry recalled in Spare.

“Isn’t that what you said you wanted – a small, quiet wedding?” William reportedly answered.

“In fact we wanted to explore. Barefoot in Botswana, with maybe a friend officiating, that was our dream. But we were expected to share this moment with other people. It wasn’t up to us,” Harry wrote.

Finally, the royals settled for St. George’s Chapel at Windsor.

The discussions regarding Harry and Meghan’s big day didn’t end with the venue, allegedly. According to Harry, there was a debate within the family about whether Meghan should wear a veil for the ceremony since she was a divorcee. At the same time, William got angry at Harry for refusing to shave off his beard.

This, however, didn’t affect Harry and Meghan’s big day.

Speaking of the moment he waited for the woman of his dreams at the altar, the Duke recalled, “I stood at the altar, smoothed the front of my Household Cavalry uniform, watched Meg floating towards me. I’d worked hard to choose the right music for her procession, and ultimately I’d landed on Handel’s ‘Eternal Source of Light Divine’. Now, as the soloist’s voice rang out above our heads, I thought I’d chosen well. Indeed, as Meg came nearer and nearer, I was giving thanks for all my choices.”

Harry’s best man was one of his old friends, Charlie, which surprised many as they expected the role to be given to William since Harry was his best man at his wedding to Kate.

Some royal experts believe that Harry asked Charlie instead of his brother to be his best man because the feud between the brothers had probably started somewhere around the wedding.

“I asked what was really happening. Was he sulking because he wasn’t my best man?” Harry wrote. “Was he annoyed because I had asked my old friend Charlie instead? (The Royal Family announced Willy was the best man as they had done with me when he and Kate got married. Did that have something to do with it?).”

Despite everything that preceded the wedding of Harry and Meghan, it is certain that it was a fabulous one.

Woman blocks a man after he buys her a $500+ dinner

Meeting David, who could keep up with her random train of thought, somehow felt right for Penelope. He was a teacher and one of the most charming guys she has ever met. As they engaged in a deep and meaningful conversation about books, going from classics to sci-fi, he suddenly asked her about her favorite place to eat.

Penelope smiled. There was this fancy restaurant, which served food that felt it was coming from heaven, where she would go whenever she would reach certain milestone in her life. The perfect place for celebrations and a potential first date. But the place was very pricey, and she didn’t want to mention it, but she still did it. However, she then suggested a nice Mexican place that offered “over 300 tequilas and tacos with handmade tortillas that are to die for.” On top of it, it was easy on the wallet.

Unsplash

However, David decided that the two go to that pricey restaurant Penelope mentioned in the first place.

The evening was fabulous. It was more than she ever expected from a date with someone she had only seen once.

They ordered appetizers—those heavenly little bites she loved—and yes, the cocktails were as mesmerizing as ever.

Dish after dish came to their table as they laughed and laughed through the night. However, when the time came for the bill to be paid, something awkward happened. As Penelope offered to split it, since it hit over $500, she took some money out of her purse and her credit card fell on the table accidentally. David was quick to pick it up, but he didn’t return it immediately, instead, he took the time to analyze it, which confused Penelope.

What’s most, David scanned every tiny detail of it before putting it down. He then muttered something along the lines, “You should be careful with this.”

Unsplash

At that moment, Penelope felt like her privacy was invaded. She couldn’t help but wonder why he would stare at her credit card for that long.

It felt like a red flag, besides the lovely evening, so she blocked his phone number in case he texted her or tried to call her.

When she told a friend of hers about the incident, the friend felt Penelope was little too harsh towards David. She, however, decided not to think about it any longer, and leave things as they were.

Pexels

Sharing her story online and asking social media users if she did wrong to David, she received plenty of different responses. Some believed that him starring at her credit card was indeed a red flag while others said he was just testing her to see if she offers to pay for the meal herself.

Wealthy landlord evicts elderly woman from her rental, only to find her at his family dinner

0

When she lost her husband to Covid and later her house was destroyed by a tornado, Diane Salinger, a lovely woman in her fifties, found herself at a crossroads. She contemplated life, and after giving it some thought, she decided to invest the money she was left with into a business at a mid-sized town in Michigan.

Her plan was to sell exotic goods so she bought a tiny grocery store and hoped for the best.

Luckily, the neighborhood where she settled was a cozy one. The people were friendly and accepted her as one of their own. Sadly, the same couldn’t be said for her landlord, Chris, who was a grumpy man and who seemed to only cared about himself.

Unsplash

Diane was the tenant everyone would ask for. She was quiet, paid her rent on time, and never asked for anything.

But one December, it was different. When the due date arrived, she was $120 short on her rent.

When she handed in the envelope to Chris and he started counting the money, he got furious, demanding that she paid the rent in full.

Diane explained that she would have the money in two weeks time, but Chris refused to listen to her. Still, she told him that she was helping some families in need and that she would be able to pay in full on short notice.

Unsplash

Chris started yelling and told her she could be playing Mother Theresa as much as she wanted, but he wouldn’t wait a day. Angry at her, he asked her to leave the place by the end of the week.

“I’m a businessman, not a charity,” he told her and accused her of taking advantage of him.

Chris could see people exiting Diane’s store with bags full of groceries so he was convinced her business was doing well enough to cover the rent in full, and that angered him even more.

Unsplash

Poor Diane found herself on the streets. She was forced to leave the house and look for another place to stay.

In the meantime, Chris didn’t feel any remorse for kicking her out.

A couple of days later, he was getting ready to pay his sister Vanessa a visit. She was a single mother who was raising her son all by herself. Her life was hard, but she was a strong and independent woman Chris loved dearly.

He placed a $20 bill in an envelope for his nephews’ birthday and headed to Vanessa’s.

When she opened the door, a pleasant smell of home-cooked food could be smelled in the air. Vanessa seemed happier than usual. She welcomed Chris in and told him dinner was ready. When he asked about his nephew, Vanessa said he was upstairs, playing video games with one of her friends. At that moment, Chris’ nephew got downstairs with a woman. It was Diane, the woman Chris kicked out of his home.

“I had no idea you were Vanessa’s brother,” Diane said.

Unsplash

Chris was stunned. He realized that one of those needy families Diane said was helping was that of his sister.

“But why isn’t she asking money from me,” he mumbled under his breath. Leaning towards him, Diane whispered, “Because it’s always easier to ask your friends than your family and Vanessa is one hardworking but very proud woman.”

Unsplash

Chris felt ashamed of himself. He now knew he did Diane wrong and wanted to make things right so he offered her to return to the apartment at half the price of the rent she was paying so that she can continue helping people like his sister. What’s most, he promised to match Diane’s help whenever he could.

Diane was glad to accept the offer. She hoped Chris learned a valuable lesson that day.

Strictly star Wynne Evans issues apology as he admits he’s ‘heartbroken’ over ‘wandering hands’ claims

0

Strictly Come Dancing‘s star Wynne Evans has issued an apology following the incident with fellow dance star Katya Jones after a footage of an awkward exchange between the two emerged.

During the fourth live show of the dance competition, Wynne was seen placing his arm around 35-year-old Katya’s waist. As his hand moved, she brushed it off.

Social media users raised their concerns following this incident, especially after Katya was seen ignoring Wynne’s attempt to high-five her.

Wynne felt the urge to address the issue on a show he hosts on BBC Radio Wales. “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day,” he said.

“It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.

“It was a stupid joke that went wrong, okay? We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny. It has been totally misinterpreted.”

Wynne, 52, added, “Everything’s on Katya’s socials. She’s talked about it. She’s explained that it was a joke. She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

“We’ve got a brilliant friendship, an absolutely tight friendship, and I’m sorry if anybody was offended by it, but it was a joke. And that’s all there is. There is no real story, really.”

He said he doesn’t want his presence on the dance show to be remembered by this incident that started as a joke but took the wrong turn in the eyes of the viewers.

“I’m absolutely still up for it. I’m having the best time of my life. I just don’t want this to be the bit that people remember.”

Katya also took to the social media to give an explanation, stating what happened between her and Wynne was just a joke the audience didn’t perceived as intended.

“Happy Sunday everyone,” she said at the start of the video she posted. “Now I need to make something crystal clear. The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly, very silly inside joke between Wynne and I. So even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense.

“It’s quite absurd actually. Can we just focus on how brilliantly he’s doing and what an amazing dancer he’s becoming?” she added.

She ended the video when her doorbell rang and Katya said goodbye to her fans.

Fans, however, were still not convinced that the dance pair was only joking.

“You’re not explaining how it was a joke?” one fan questioned. “I think it’s exactly how it come across on camera. You didn’t want his hand there, so moved it? Not a big deal.”

Another fan added: “Not even funny to be honest in this day and age with everything that is going on so can’t see the funny side of this when people were genuinely concerned.”

This is why you should keep the bathroom light on when sleeping in a hotel

0

When traveling abroad and staying at a hotel, it is recommendable to have the bathroom lights on during the night.

Among the rest, the dim-lit space can help overcome anxiety at those people who don’t find it comfortable sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings.

Next, it will provide visibility during potential emergencies such as fires or intrusions, allowing you to quickly find exits without fumbling for your phone or a light switch.

Of course, when at a hotel or a motel, we tend to leave the luggage on the floor if our stay is short or if we are too tired to place or clothes and other belongings in the wardrobe. Having the bathroom light on can prevent us from tripping over the luggage in the dark.

What’s most, if there is an intruder around, the turned-on light will make them believe that the people inside the room are awake.

Well, sometimes, no matter if we like it or not, we are forced to have the bathroom light on, just like a Reddit user who shared a photo of his recent stay at a hotel. The bathroom door was a glass door and the light seemed to be too much for him.

He captioned the post, “This hotel bathroom when you turn the bathroom light on at night.”

As expected, the comments showed that different people have different preferences, and as some said they would love glass doors because they provide a lot of light during the night, others said this would be a nightmare for them.

“I spent the night in a similar one recently… the bathroom light was motion activated, so there was no way to avoid turning it on too,” someone commented. “As someone who can’t sleep without the bathroom light under the door off, this would be a nightmare to me,” another added.

So, what’s your preference? Do you leave the lights on throughout the night?

Valerie Bertinelli candidly shares her experience of facing criticism over her appearance

0

Body-shaming is real and it affects the self-confidence of plenty of people who experience it. The truth is that the societies impose certain standards of what “beautiful” stands for and in the pursuit of achieving that looks, people lose themselves.

The moment we learn how to love ourselves with all our flaws is the moment we really start to live our lives to the fullest, and it turns out that actress Valerie Bertinelli has learned this truth and is now helping others embrace it.

In a video she recently posted, the Hot in Cleveland star could be heard giggling as a swishing noise echoed in the background.

“I’m giggling because I had a small, hidden bruise activated today,” the actress says. “My jeans are rubbing together, creating this particular sound, so you can probably hear them,” she added, trying to make a point.

She explained that it’s been long since she had last worn those jeans and the reason she stopped wearing them was a remark an ex of her made about the sound they made while walking, telling her that if she hand’t been lazy and worked out, the jeans wouldn’t create that noise.

Valerie then shared with her followers what she meant when she mentioned the “hidden bruise.”

“Hidden bruises are something that emotional, verbal, and mental abuse does to you that people can’t see,” she explained.

“The work I’m doing on healing is working, so it’s now making me laugh,” she continued. “I put these jeans in storage for good. After working to cure her concealed bruise, she can “wear them, hear that sound, and to me, that sound represents freedom.”

The actress added that she hesitated whether to post the video or not, believing her followers would tell her to “move on,” and “let it go,” but she figured out that speaking openly about being body-shamed was in fact a way of moving on.

The comments under the video were full of support and encouragement.

“Thank you for sharing the concept of hidden bruises,” one person wrote. “So proud of you! Many people find inspiration in you and your strength,” another added.

Valerie has always been open about certain aspects of her life. If you want to hear more about her personal journey and healing from past pain go to the video below.
