Women hear it time and time again: “Men prefer a natural look.” 

But from this woman’s social experiment, we are learning that “natural” really means wear makeup and look as flawless as you possibly can, all while looking like you’re wearing nothing at all.

And if you are a woman, you know that this can be even more difficult than perfecting your Saturday night smokey eye look, and just as costly.

Alexa Mitchell aka Maican Girl took three selfies wearing no makeup, and unretouched a.k.a. unedited and uploaded them to her Tinder profile.

She then took the same three photos, and retouched and edited them using an app called Relook and uploaded them to Tinder to compare the results.

The objective was to see which photos men responded more to, and which generated in her getting more matches.

Watch this video below to see the surprising results:

Can you believe that the unedited photos resulted in Alexa receiving only 16 matches and the edited receiving 73?

Do these results surprise you?

Lauren Hill was a courageous teen who was honored Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards for having the best moment. Sadly, she wasn’t there to accept it.

Hill died on April 10 of this year, after battling an inoperable brain tumor. However, she died a hero, using her own personal struggle to fund cancer research. She raised over $1.5 million to contribute toward finding a cure before she herself succumbed to brain cancer. Before Hill died, she had just one wish: to play in just one college basketball game.

Hill had been recruited in 2013 to play basketball for Mount St. Joseph University. Shortly after committing to play for the team, she learned she had an inoperable brain tumor, according to ABC.

She was a remarkable teenager with success and opportunity ahead of her, and in the blink of an eye, her plan was derailed. But this courageous teenager did not let that get her down. Hill practiced with her team despite having a tumor in her head and even played in their opening game.

The NCAA agreed to let Mount St. Joseph move its opening game against Hiram College up by two weeks because Hill’s condition was deteriorating. Other school’s got involved to make Hill’s dreams come true too. Xavier University offered its 10,000-seat arena so more people could attend. Still, tickets sold out in less than an hour.

In the end, Hill didn’t play in one game: she played in five. LeBron James sent her gifts and tweets of encouragement for her inspiring actions.

Hill’s mother Lisa said, ”if she were here today standing on this stage, she would ask you not to sit on the bench. Please don’t wait until you’re personally affected by cancer to start kicking cancer’s butt.” With her remaining time, Hill raised awareness of pediatric cancer and used her spotlight for selfless reasons. Lauren Hill is truly a hero!

Have you ever been rick-rolled?

Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” has over 130 million views on Youtube and there are countless links that lead to other versions of his 1987 hit, so statistically speaking, you probably have. A friend sends you a link in an email, and you say, “hmm…this looks interesting,” only to click it and find a deep-voiced 20-something wearing denim on denim and dancing like your Dad at a barbecue. Yeah, the prank is internet gold. It’s everything we love to hate about the 80’s.

But how much has Rick Astley made from Rickrolling?

The video has been shared over and over racking up views from your computer and a million others. Surely, Rick Astley must be bringing in the big bucks with all those royalties, right?

Actually, as of 2010, Rick Astley has accumulated a hefty sum of…$12. According to Mental Floss, this is because Astley didn’t write the song. He only performed it, so he simply receives a performer’s share.

But he’s not salty.

Rick Astley seems like a pretty cool guy, though and doesn’t appear to be bothered by the lack of royalites. Astley said that he doesn’t plan on capitalizing on the internet phenomenon by making a remix, and his only concern is that the meme doesn’t embarrass his daughter. He encourages others to remix his hit, but said, “I think the artist themselves trying to remix it is almost a bit sad. No, I’m too old for that.” He was quoted saying the trend was “bizarre and funny,” but Astley hasn’t said much beyond that.

At 9 o’clock on a Saturday night, your squad is choosing between a bar and “da club.” Which do you go for?

If your answer is clubbing, you’ve chosen wrong. While ear-shattering bass and grinding with sweaty strangers have a quaint charm, dive bars are always better. Bars have actual music you can sing along to, pitchers of beer you can share (that can also be shared with you!), and games like pool and darts. I can’t fathom why anybody would ever choose 6 hours in stilettos over good conversation in a pub. Here’s why a night at the bar is always better than going to a night club:

1.) You spend significantly less money at a bar:

A bottle of vodka at a bar can run you upwards of a hundred dollars at a ritzy club. A pitcher of beer varies around $20 depending on where you go. I think the answer is obvious here.

2.) You get home before 4 o’clock in the morning.

While both bars and clubs close around the same time, it’s acceptable to roll into a bar for 5 o’clock happy hour, hang around for a while, hop over to another bar, engage in fulfilling conversation, feed your drunk munchies monster, and still be in bed by midnight.

On the other hand, clubs don’t start up until midnight and if you want to accomplish anything the next day, you can kiss that wish goodbye.

3.) You can wear whatever you want.

My favorite thing about spending the night in a bar is wearing sneakers. My least favorite thing about going out to a club is high heels. Why? Why do people choose to make themselves miserable with uncomfortable shoes? What kind of sick, masochistic creatures are we?

Not only that, but in a bar I can wear jeans, a cute top, and a sweater. While dress code for clubs vary, it tends to demand thin, shiny material that makes your back itch. Oh, and coat checks. F*ck coat checks. I want to put my coat on the back of my chair. And speaking of chairs…

4.) Bars have chairs!

Want to sit down at a club? That will cost you upwards of $100 to enter the VIP section. Want to sit down at a bar? That’s free. During a night of dancing (which can happen at both), my feet are tired and I want to pop a squat.

5.) Bars aren’t sexist

I was recently at a New York City club (well, in the line for it), with a girlfriend and three guy friends. We weren’t on a guest list, but the bouncer waved us girls in and told the guys that he’d cut them a break and only charge them $70. Each. Obviously, we didn’t stick around and let the guys pay $210 just to get into the place.

The bouncer was willing to let us girls in because we were hot and wearing tight clothes, and didn’t let the guys in because they were men. Call me a radical, but I believe that attitude is sexist toward men and objectifying toward women.

6.) You have a better chance of meeting somebody worth while at a bar.

Let’s not get carried away. You’re still at a bar, but at least at this venue you can have a conversation with an attractive stranger, rather than having said stranger rub their genitals on your rump within the first ten seconds of meeting you.

7.) You can hold a conversation with friends

People that go to bars with their friends, might actually be interested in spending time with their friends (bizarre, right?) The nice thing about going to a bar is having the opportunity to meet people, play a game of people, and engage in conversation without having to constantly say, “what, I can’t hear you?” It’s a beautiful thing.

If you’ve always wanted to get a tattoo, but could never fully commit to having something tattooed on your skin for life, these new temporary tattoos are the answers to your prayers. These two-week tattoos are changing up the temporary tattoo world, and letting people experience what it’s like to have a tattoo without the commitment.

Tyler and Braden Handley, the Toronto-based co-founders of Inkbox, were inspired by the Embera-Wounaan and Kuna people, who have used the Genipa Americana fruit to decorate their skin for thousands of years. The fruit-derived ink dyes the top layer of your skin black over a 12-hour period, and lasts approximately 15 days before completely fading away. Inkbox tattoos look and feel like the real thing because the ink dyes the top layer of skin, whereas traditional temporary tattoos sit at the surface of the skin.

Rather then sitting in a chair for hours in agony, Inkbox tattoos, which use 100 percent organic fruit ink sourced from the jungles of the Darién Gap, Panama, are painlessly applied with a damp towelette in 10 minutes.

As if these temporary tattoos couldn’t get better, you’ll be happy to know that the Handley brothers plan to donate a percentage of every sale to support the indigenous communities that inspired the company.

Inkbox currently has a Kickstarter campaign that has surpassed the $100,000 goal to allow custom tattoo ordering, and has currently raised $171,466.

Would you try these new temporary tattoos? Let us know in the comments.

Never before has a sorority recruitment video been responsible for such an uproar on the Internet.

University of Alabama’s Alpha Phi sorority posted a 2015 recruitment video which received over 700,000 views on YouTube, and a lot of backlash.

So much so that the sorority had to remove the video from YouTube, and was instead re-uploaded by other users.

The video shows 72 women blowing kisses, applying their makeup in their HUGE sorority house, jumping in a lake, eating ices, and frolicking on a football field.

And all in their tiny bikinis and jean shorts.

One woman’s response to the video was not very positive. She said that the video was “worse for women than Donald Trump,” criticizing the video’s lack of diversity and calling it “reductive and objectifying.”

Her name is Bailey, and she says she is an Writer, and Magazine Copy Editor on AL.com, meanwhile she has only written for the website once before.

Bailey says:

“Do you agree or disagree with this It’s a parade of white girls and blonde hair dye, coordinated clothing, bikinis and daisy dukes, glitter and kisses, bouncing bodies, euphoric hand-holding and hugging, gratuitous booty shots, and matching aviator sunglasses.It’s all so racially and aesthetically homogeneous and forced, so hyper-feminine, so reductive and objectifying, so Stepford Wives: College Edition. It’s all so … unempowering.”

Do you agree or disagree with this woman’s opinion? Let us know after you watch the video below:

Pools evoke feelings and memories of summer, care-free fun, and childhood, which is what makes the world’s largest pool so awesome.

This pool, which holds the Guinness World Record for largest pool in the world, calls the private resort San Alfonso del Mar in Algarrobo, Chile home. It was built by Chilean company Crystal Lagoons, and took over five years to construct.

The mammoth pool is 3,323 ft long, or 6/10ths of a mile!

It has a surface area of 20 acres, and a maximum depth of 115 ft.

It took 3.5 million pounds of sand to fill in the sand beaches along the pool’s shore.

The pool is so large that you can sail, kayak, jet ski, and even scuba dive in it.

The water used to fill the gigantic pool actually comes from the ocean, but it goes through a filtering process so it is completely purified before entering the pool.

To see even more amazing views of this pool and learn more incredible facts watch the rest of the video below:

Did this pool make you want to book a trip to Chile right away? I know we did! Share with us in the comments below.

This poor golden retriever has a distressed look on his face…

We can speculate from today until tomorrow what the reason is, but the reality is that he probably doesn’t even know.

Here are the possible scenarios for this dogs facial expression:

A) He’s constipated.

B) He is about to sneeze, or just finished sneezing.

C) He has to fart.

D) He smells something really bad.

E) He is scared.

F) His owners asked him if he ate their food and he said “No.”

What do you think the reason for the look on this dog’s face is?

It’s 1:45 in the morning. You’re tipsily stumbling home with friends and then you see it. It’s your favorite drunk pizza place, and you totally forgot it was there.

“Guys,” you exclaim with the innocence of a small child, “we must go!” You savor that pizza like it’s both your first slice ever, as well as your last. You absorb its zesty flavor and slurp the flavorful sauce. And then, before you even realize it, it’s all gone. How could it have disappeared so quickly? There was so much. Did somebody eat it when I wasn’t looking? Did I eat it when I wasn’t looking. Oh no, now you’re coping with the loss of your pizza. It’s okay, there are ways to get through this. Follow my lead:

Denial

You know you didn’t scarf down that entire slice in thirteen seconds. Surely, somebody snagged a bite or two when you turned your head to tell Stacey that she has confetti in her hair. How can it be all gone. That slice was one of the biggest in this city. You don’t remember eating the whole thing and you certainly don’t feel full.

Anger

“Seriously, Josh this isn’t funny! I knew you ate my pizza when I was talking to Stacey and I know that’s why you have that smug look on your face. You can’t be laughing at my ridiculous drunken attitude. I know what you’re really getting at. You ate the rest of my slice. Although, now that I think about it, you have three of your own…”

Bargaining

Okay, well maybe you did eat the whole thing. At this point you’re starting to realize it’s possible you were wrong. That’s okay mistakes happen. Of course, at this point we’re already a long way from the pizza place and nobody wants to turn around. You really want to go back for another slice though. You’ll buy everybody a round of pizza if they come with you. Please, you just need one more slice.

Depression

You begin to realize you aren’t getting another slice of pizza tonight. You’ll probably never get another slice of pizza again. You still have the munchies and there isn’t anything at home in the fridge except moldy Chinese food (hmm…how bad can that moldy Chinese food really be?). You settle on going to bed with an unsatisfied stomach and sulk the rest of the way home.

Acceptance

But wait, now you’re home and life isn’t actually that bad. You’ve begun to sober up just a little and you realize maybe that extra 2am slice wasn’t the best choice. You also remember that your bed is footsteps away from you and you can float into it fully dressed and blissfully unaware of the hangover and heartburn that await you in the morning.

Ladies and gents, I introduce to you:

One smart, and determined monkey!

This poor guy wears a diaper has to go above and beyond just to get some juice from the vending machine.

You can tell he is super thirsty, and the poor baby monkey just wants his juice.

Don’t let his diaper fool you though, he is very smart and knows exactly how to get his juice- he even has the help of a human friend.

Does the monkey wind up getting his juice?

Advertisers look to make an impact without having an overpowering message.

Subliminal messaging is a way marketing professionals creatively insert a message into their ads without you even picking up on it. Well, you don’t consciously pick up on the message at least, but your subconscious does. Are these horrible people trying to achieve world domination and mind control? Our sources tell us no. But they have created some pretty cool designs that your brain might just pick up on. Can your eyes see the hidden messages in the following logos?

1.) Roxy

The boho-chic clothing brand has a lot going on in their logo. There are two mountains in the middle that mirror each other to make a heart. On the outside, there’s a piece of the design that could be  wave crashing over the mountain, or it could me hands cradling the heart.

Bravo, Roxy! Your marketing team manage to sneak themes of love, nature, and adventure all into that little logo.

2.) Hershey’s

Do you see it” Turn your head to the left a little. Right between the “K” and the “I,” there’s a little kiss created by the blank space. And to think, you probably went your whole life without ever noticing it before.

3. Yoga Australia

Unless you’re from the outback it might be a little hard to pick up on this one. Positioned in the white space of the woman’s arm and leg is the shape of Australia.

4.) Kölner Zoo

This zoo also plays with white space. At first glance, the logo appears to be an elephant, but when looking closer, we also see a rhino, giraffe, and star. What a harmonious little display of art.

5.) Bronx Zoo

Another zoo made this list. Rather than it displaying nature within nature, this one shows the heart of the city. Sky skyscrapers appear between the legs of the giraffe, showing recognizable New York buildings like the Empire State Building.

6.) Magic Coffee

This logo is tricky. You might miss it because it’s so subtle, it’s barely there. The cup of coffee is also a hat topping off the words “magic coffee.”

7.) Goodwill

Goodwill’s logo shows the cutest little “G” we’ve ever seen. Not only does it stand for “goodwill,” it also stands for the smile on your face you will have once you donate. Now doesn’t that warm your soul.

8.) Northwest Airlines

Northwest Airlines combines a “W” with an “N” in the upper left corner of their logo. It looks with the “W” has a blade going through it, but when looking at it from another perspective, you can also see it creates an “N” with an arrow. Just like a compass pointing North, the logo gives a sense of direction.

9.) Hope For African Children Initiative

In this logo, it’s super easy to see the other message going on here. What appears to be a child looking up to an adult also doubles as an image of Africa. The image is created by the white space in the background.

10.) Spartan Golf

This logo creates a perfect optical illusion. Look at it one way and you see the torso of a man swinging a golf club. From another perspective, it’s a Spartan warrior. Whoever made this logo deserves a raise.

While this may look like your ordinary shed, it is much more than that…

A company called The Torri Cinema Co. conceptualized the idea for what is really inside this shed, and then they brought the idea to real life.

Ashley Yeates, founder and builder for Torii Cinemas built the framework.

Walls were installed.

And lights.

And viola! The adorable garden shack/guest house was done. Do you know what the best part was?

That it’s really a secret movie theater!

Equipped with plush seating.

A candy station.

And enough movies to last you many cold and rainy nights.

How cool is this secret movie shed? Would you like to have one in your backyard?

Dogs have long been trained to use their exceptional sense of smell to aid in finding missing people, blood, drugs, bombs, and even electronics. Now man’s best friend is about to use its nose for detecting cancer.

The idea that dogs are capable of smelling cancer cells isn’t new, however, recent research is proving just how useful our four-legged friends can be at detecting cancer. Recently, the National Health Service (NHS) in the U.K. has approved the use of cancer smelling dogs in trials, and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in Sacramento, CA has begun a 12-month training program that will teach dogs how to detect head and neck cancers by sniffing saliva, breath and urine samples.

Dog’s sense of smell is thought to be 10,000 to 100,000 times better than human’s sense of smell, as dogs have 300 million sense receptors in their noses compared to the measly 5 million that people have. Scientists have discovered that many diseases and conditions, including cancer, give off scents, which dogs are able to detect.

In a recent interview with NPR, behavioral psychologist and co-founder of Medical Detection Dogs Claire Guest explained “What we’ve now discovered is that lots of diseases and conditions — and cancer included — that they actually have different volatile organic compounds, these smelly compounds, that are associated with them, and dogs can smell them.”

“Our dogs have higher rates of reliability than most of the existing tests. We should not be turning our backs on these highly sensitive bio-detectors just because they have furry coats,” Guest said.

Take a look at the video below to see an adorable Australian Shepherd detect cancer as part of training done by the InSitu Foundation.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we picture Koalas as cuddly, gentle creatures that sit in trees chewing Eucalyptus leaves. However, this video posted by Ebony Churchill, a daily farmer, shows that these tiny bears can be quite a handful.

In the video, Churchill tries to ride away from a koala chasing her on an ATV, and when the koala eventually catches up to her, she jumps off to find the bear climbing on to the back tire.

Churchill shouts “It’s coming! Get away, get away!”

The woman had to jump off her ATV as the speedy koala climbed aboard.

A seal came inches from death as a great white shark was on the hunt for food off of Cape Cod.

In the video captured by Greg Skomal of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, you can see just how close the seal was to becoming shark food, however, the lucky seal managed to leap just far enough away from the shark’s formidable bite.

The conservancy said that this was the first time they had witnessed a great white breach water during a hunt in Cape Cod waters.

“It’s really a testament to the speed and power that these animals can generate in such a short amount of space and time. It was able to literally come out of the water. It’s really amazing.” Skomal told the Boston Globe.

The most frightening part of the whole encounter was that it occured just 30 feet from shore in less than 10 feet of water.

The seal can be seen breeching water off the coast of Monomoy, Cape Cod.

Just seconds later, a huge shark breaks the water’s surface in an attempt to hunt the seal.

Despite the shark’s efforts, the seal just barely managed to escape death.

This amazing aerial photo shows the research team watching the great white shark attempt to prey on the seal.

Watch the entire video here to see just how lucky this seal was to escape with its life.

If you’ve ever taken an Uber (and if you haven’t you are living under a rock), you will know that for some reason you feel a lot more comfortable talking with your Uber driver.

A huge reason is you are probably drunk.

But nevertheless, our drivers either have to deal with our drunken annoyingness, or we have to deal with annoying drivers.

For the most part, people behave because who wants to get a low passenger/driver rating?

Not I.

This video below shows the need for Uber passengers to strike up a conversation with their driver, as well as drive them absolutely crazy.

And remember people, they are not drunk.. (hopefully).. it’s just you.

Take a look at a few things people do in the backseats of Uber cars that make us feel terrible for the drivers:

A weird series of events was caught on camera as a film crew attempted to prank people on the street.

From the looks of it, it appears the crew set up the classic, “baby flies away with balloons” prank. The “father” in this scene is distracted by his cell phone, and when he’s not looking, the “baby” (which is really a doll) floats up into the sky, with some balloons that are tied around her wrist. The film crew wanted to see how people would react.

But they weren’t expecting what happened next.

An older gentleman, who happened to be dressed in a way that resembles Dumbledore, was walking down the street smoking what appears to be a joint. When “Dumbledore” sees the man struggling with the flying baby, he shrugs and keeps on truckin’ along. Clearly, he didn’t fall for the gimmick.

Now, while all this was taking place, another character came into play.

Also caught on camera was a man in a wheel chair. At first glance, the audience assumes he just an unnecessary extra in the unwritten script, but “Dumbledore” turns to him as he passes by and throws him his joint. The man in the wheel chair is moved by the random act of kindness. Meanwhile, the jokester “father” in this scene laughs at all the shenanigans. It’s probably the most bizarre unplanned encounter ever caught by a hidden film crew.

 Watch all the drama go down below:

The prank didn’t fool anybody though.

The video, which was made by Youtube account whatever really attempted to trick people, but very few fell for the poorly planned prank. Instead, they got a brief chuckle while wondering why he had a baby doll in the first place.
