Toddlers With Style

@helsyflores

I recently read an article somewhere about an Australian mother of girl twins answering the most common (and annoying) questions she gets everytime she steps out of the house, in an unconventional way.

By now, this article has appeared on PerezHilton and TIME. Anyway, I thought Delphi and Cheska were cute as buttons and so I headed to mom’s Instagram. I discovered the most amazing pictures. Aside from looking adorable, mom dresses them with SUCH AMAZING STYLE. They dress even better than me! And though I’ve always said I don’t want kids, this almost makes me change my mind. So whether you need inspiration for your kids, or future kids, or you just enjoy fashion, here are some of my favorites.

Weird, Wonderful Words

@helsyflores

Have you ever wondered about a strange emotion or action, thinking no one has ever thought about it? Well, someone probably has and there’s probably a word for it.

The English language has, according to the Global Language Monitor, 1,025,109.8 words. And then there’s the ones we no longer use, and the ones in other languages. So, it’s no wonder that between this ocean of words, some very unique ones get lost.

Monet in Giverny

@helsyflores

A few months ago I visited Paris for the first time, and the first thing I did was to pay for a tour in Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and brought his dazzling, scintillating paintings to life.

I first arrived at the train station, where I bought some snacks and water for the journey. After a little over an hour, we arrived at Vernon, where we would grab a bike and continue our journey to Giverny.

Getting our bikes.

Although really small, Vernon is quite picturesque and beautiful. I separated from the group and explored town, catching some pretty nice views.

Collégiale Notre-Dame de Vernon.

Fleurs in Vernon.

We made our way through Vernon, and after exploring around and getting some food, we left town and found a perfect spot for a picnic.

Riding with a GoPro like a pro.

Our picnic spot.

Made some pretty cool friends, including their mom.

Finally, we reached Giverny. As soon as we entered the little streets, with charming old houses and flowers everywhere, I felt like in a dream or in another world. But that was nothing compared to when we got to Monet’s house.

Aside from being a painter, Monet really enjoyed creating beautiful gardens. He purchased hundreds of seeds, he had his own pond, and even got in trouble for taking possession of land that wasn’t his. This man spent hours looking at his gardens, and immortalizing them on canvas.

It’s amazing seeing his paintings and then actually being there, not only because of the beautiful scenes and landscapes, but because that’s where Monet stood, that’s where he painted, that’s where he lived! I’ll just let you see for yourself. No pictures are allowed inside the house, but the walls were mainly pastels–yellow, pink, and blue –and the decoration, frames and paintings were wonderful.

I started off with the gardens.

One of the bridges.

Amazing scene.

Flowers.

Water lilies.

Then I made my way to his house.

Picturesque little house.

GoPro time.

After the tour, I bought a musicbox and a bookmark. We visited Monet’s family grave before we headed for some tea, and then back to Paris.

Monet’s first wife, Camille Doncieux, died at 32 from uterine cancer. He eventually married Alice Hoschedé, and lived until 86. He died of lung cancer.

Floral Nails at Home

@helsyflores

Have you ever wanted beautiful, floral nails but didn’t have the budget to go get it done, or the patience to do it yourself? So did I, until I gave it a try. (You can also watch the video here.)

You’ll need:

• Nail polish (suggested: base and top coat, jade, pink, peach, white, and green)
• A cotton swab
• Nail polish remover

Step 1. Apply a transparent base coat so that your nails won’t turn yellow, and to make your design last a little longer.

Step 2. Apply your base color, in this case I chose jade.

Step 3. Make uneven, imperfect polka dots. I used pink for this.

Step 4. Now make “G” shapes with a different color. I used peach.

Step 5. With a light color, apply to spots at opposite ends to give your flowers a bright, shimmery effect.

Step 6. Now use green to make the leaves, try to make two per flower.

Step 7. Let them dry for at least 30 minutes and then apply your transparent top coat for a longer effect.

Step 8. Use a cotton swab with nail polish remover to get rid of the mess.

And you’re done. Wasn’t that easy? Share your pictures on Twitter and Instagram using #floralnailsathome and tag me! (@helsyflores)

How many things do we not try because we think we won’t succeed? Starting today, try new things. You can do it!

Elle Fanning: Style Icon

@helsyflores

You probably know Elle Fanning as “Dakota Fanning’s sister”, or “Aurora from Maleficent”. Truth is, she’s known for so much more; she just likes to keep a quiet and private life. With only 17 years, Elle has countless movies, short films, and magazine covers.

But today we’ll talk about her fashionista side. Her outfits are unique, bold, and with a vintage touch. Elle’s style is whimsical, elegant, and inspiring; and I’m sure she doesn’t even try that hard– she just has it. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite, recent looks.

Her Style

Little black dresses are always a good idea.

For this look, Elle sported a vintage, floral black dress. Although it was used during the day, she did great by mixing with those fuchsia pumps to give it a twist and make it a little brighter.

Vintage touch.

This is probably my favorite look. Elle is wearing a pale pink, vintage dress with a black bow and belt, matched with black pumps. And to add to this très chic and elegant attire, she sported a pair of vintage, cat eye shades that really add to the look.

Young and electric.

It’s not all vintage for Elle. For this young and bright look, she sported a floral crop top in white, with red-orange and sky-blue flowers, outlined with black. Again, she really added to the look by opting for those bright, red pumps. I really liked her makeup as well.

The turtle neck.

I’m not a fan of turtle necks, but I really liked this look. It’s a great combination and it only took a simple turtle neck, long-sleeved top, and high-waisted, loose, pale purple pants. This ensemble makes her look even taller and slimmer.

These looks are amazing but they’re also simple; even her hair and makeup are on the natural side. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to put together a great outfit, you just need to get creative and inspired.

We ALL Get Cellulite, Time To Get Over It

@helsyflores

In our modern era, when women get cellulite it’s a cause for shame. “How to get rid of cellulite” returns 3,580,000 results in only half a second on Google, and celebrities are bashed daily because of this. Some sites swear that some cream will do the job. I’ve also heard that women in France dry brush their legs to improve circulation and make it disappear. And others just tell you not to get your hopes up, you’re stuck with it for the rest of your life. But what’s most concerning is that pretty much every woman posting comments on these sites tell their story and end up with “I haven’t been able to wear shorts or skirts in years”. (Insert exclamation marks. Lots of them.)

We all know the media is not our friend; constantly setting (literally) impossible standards for us, making us see normal things as flaws, and weird things as normal (we all know about the thigh gap). Yet still we smile to the media and mutilate our bodies and minds while trying to reach these silly standards. The media is Regina George, and we’re Cady Heron.

Well, it’s time to set some records straight, and to do so I would like to quote Go Kaleo because I think it can’t be said any better:

Cellulite is not a ‘problem’. It is not a flaw. Cellulite is a normal function of the way women’s bodies store fat. 80-90% of women have cellulite to some degree. Lean women have cellulite, healthy women have cellulite, vegan women have cellulite, paleo women have cellulite, celebrities have cellulite, body builders have cellulite, bikini models have cellulite, women in isolated cultures who still live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle have cellulite, women with access to unlimited amounts of plastic surgery have cellulite. Most of the women reading this have cellulite. You’re not flawed. You’re normal.

Did you read that? It’s a normal body function, and 90% of women have it, regardless of their lifestyle. Do we feel weird or ashamed when our chests expand and contract during breathing? Nope. Just like our chests get bigger when our lungs are filled with air, our skin gets dimples when our cells are filled with fat. It’s normal. It’s natural. It doesn’t (necessarily) mean you’re lazy, or that you have poor circulation, or that you don’t drink enough water, or that you don’t exercise enough, or that you have an unhealthy diet. It means you’re a woman and that’s just how our bodies work. Even reaaally skinny women (and models!) have cellulite. Take a look.

So as fat cells get bigger (to store fat, duh), those little septae pull as tight as when those fat cells were smaller, and that results in a dimple. Men, on the other hand, are structured very differently and even in the rare event that they get cellulite (10% of them do), it won’t show because their skin is thicker.

Anyway. Even though we’re in the 21st century, experts still haven’t reached a consensus on many aspects about cellulite. Is it “curable”? Some surgeons, dermatologists, and whatnot tell you there’s nothing that can be done, “Just live with it”; others tell you they have this secret (super expensive) used-by-celebrities treatment that will leave your skin as new. Is it hereditary? Yes, blame your grandmother; no, you just eat a lot of junk. Will water, exercise and a healthy diet help? Yes; no, it’s hereditary. Blah, blah.

But facts are facts. Think about it. Celebrities have all the money (and pressure) in the world to look “flawless”, yet we still see most of them with cellulite. By “most of them” I mean all of them except Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Megan Fox, who I’m pretty sure are extraterrestrials because that’s the only logical explanation. But even hotties like Scarlett Johansson, Alessandra Ambrosio, Blake Lively, and Selena Gomez get cellulite.

Unfortunately, we can’t tell our bodies “Hey, that’s about enough fat on my legs, could you please send some of it to my boobs?”. So I’m sorry to inform you all we can do is be conscious that this is not something to feel ashamed of. Get the hell over it. It only looks “bad” because that’s what they’ve made it look like. Don’t be a Cady appeasing to some Regina George, wear that skirt or shorts or bikini you love that you’ve been too scared to take out. And either way, stay healthy and keep its appearance to the minimum by exercising, drinking plenty of water, exfoliating, keeping your skin moisturized, and eating well.

Lastly, another quote from Go Kaleo’s article (which inspired this one):

And here’s another thing, for the single women reading. Once a man has seen a couple real-life women naked, he knows that real-life women have cellulite and stretch marks and jiggly thighs and other normal little traits that the media tries to convince us are flaws. Men who expect women to be perfect are men who have more experience with porn and magazines and blow-up dolls than real-life women. Any man who judges your worth on the basis of the presence of cellulite is only doing you the favor of letting you know that he doesn’t have much experience with women, and that he isn’t worth your time. There are plenty of men out there who know what real-life women look like, and who will value you for who you are and not the dimpliness of your thighs. Do yourself the favor of not wasting your time on the former.

Travel Diaries: Los Angeles, Day 3

First, I’d like to tell you how I got to LA. I took a plane to San Diego, which was way cheaper. And also because I was going to visit some friends there first. From the airport, a nice man named Rod from Alamo asked where I needed to go, I said “To LA.” He drives a courtesy bus meant for Alamo customers or potential customers, but he grabbed my bag and told me to hop in, since the green line trolley ran right next to Alamo. So I got to the trolley for free, and he left me with an officer. The officer explained the Greyhound bus station (with buses leaving to LA) was at the end of the green line, next to 12th and Imperial. He was also going there. I bought my $2.50 one-way ticket and waited for the trolley. They pass every 15 minutes. We both got on the trolley and finally reached 12th and Imperial, 1313 National Ave (where Greyhound is) was literally steps away, and once the officer guided me, he wished me a good day.

There are restaurants at this stop, and Greyhound has free Wi-Fi. So I was going to get my 5 o’clock ticket, but they only had 7:15 left. Then another lady told me they did have 5 pm tickets left. The bus arrived and we were boarding, there was one more lady before me and about 6 others behind me, when they said the bus was full and the next one was leaving at 6 pm. So we waited until then, and it left until 6:30. But the bus was nice, even with sockets and free Wi-Fi.

I got to LA at 9:20 pm, and I only spent $27.50. A friend and I went to Apollonia’s Pizzeria on Wilshire Blvd, where we got a delicious and HUGE pizza, and obviously ended up taking it home.

Apollonia’s Pizzeria

The next day I ran some errands with my friend. We ate at Veggie Grill, where literally everything is organic and vegan. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich, the chicken made of vegan things obviously, and even the texture and consistency looked like real chicken breast! And the prices are really good. My friend went to the restroom and a man who had been looking at me was leaving when he said “Food is great!” I looked as if asking “Are you talking to me?” and he said “Isn’t it?” and I said “Yeah!”. In Monterrey people act like bitches all the time, so I’m not used to people talking to me out of nowhere. Then we went to The Grove and two strangers complimented me on my dress, which also never happens in Monterrey. We finished some more errands and headed home, it was dark already.

Veggie Grill

The Grove

And today, I went out onto the streets on my own. And by “on my own” I also mean no car, no maps, and a “No Service” cellphone. Anyway, here are some of my day’s highlights; they can be useful when you travel to California.

As I left my apartment and walked some blocks, I was waiting for the pedestrian light when a man interrupted the silence.

—Are you a Scorpio?
—(I looked around, was he talking to me?) What?
—What sign are you? I study astrology.
—Umm, Gemini.
(irrelevant chitchat)
—You Russian?
—Nope, Mexican.
(more chitchat)
—So, are you from Argentina?
—Uh, Mexico. I told you that.
—Oh, right.
(our light finally comes)
—Well, have a good day.

I’ve heard all kinds of stories, so while having this conversation I was grabbing my bag tight and I was also ready to run like crazy. After that I went to Samy’s Camera, which is a three-floor camera store. They sell books and lenses and cameras and they also do repairs. I went in because my Nikon was getting a lot of dust inside and when I tried to clean it, I only made it worse. They told me it would cost around $85 bucks and that I needed to take it to the Nikon center directly. I walked there, around 20 blocks away, without a receipt because I have no idea where it is. Finally reached Nikon and to my surprise, they checked my camera and said they would do a complimentary repair. But it will take a week, so I will spend these days without a camera. (Insert panic face).

I then headed to The Grove, and bumped into a girl playing violin at the streets. She was playing the Game of Thrones‘ theme song pretty nicely. To my left was the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, so of course I went there. The entrance fee was $10 for students and $15 general, but there was a “From Van Gogh to Kandinsky” exhibition, so I paid $25 to have access to that. They gave me a ticket to exchange for a free print at the store. The museum is great, they’ve got Kandinsky, Renoir, Picasso, and many others. But most importantly: Monet. They don’t have Dalí or Manet, though. The sculptures and everything else is also great, especially floor number 2. After I stared at Monet for hours, I went to the store for my free print, along with a pocket book about French impressionism, a copy of Damn Good Advice (for people with talent!), a copy of It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be, and an Andy Warhol Campbell’s mug.

LACMA Store

They’ve got free Wi-Fi at the museum, so after memorizing my route to The Grove, I started walking. I took a look at the mall, saw that Hillary Clinton is coming to a book signing at Barnes & Noble on my birthday (this Thursday), bought some things I didn’t resist (like a cute iPhone 4S case, the Marilyn Monro LIFE magazine and a framed photo, and a purse and nail polish from Forever 21), went to eat next door at the Farmer’s Market, and went home. My feet were killing me and my spirit was dead for the day. Even though it’s 7:35 PM here my eyes are closing and my brain isn’t working anymore, so I’ll maybe have horrible mistakes/typos. If any, I’ll correct them later. Don’t kill me.

Ps. So far the weather has been sunny but nice, and cold from 7:30 PM and on.

How To: Mute People on Twitter

@helsyflores

Most of us probably follow people on Twitter that totally get on our nerves, or whose tweets are just not that interesting. But we can’t unfollow them because they’re friends or your boss or whatever. During these times, you’ve probably wished you could just mute them. You know? Make their tweets disappear from your sight, without having to unfollow them. Well, our prayers have been answered. Twitter launched a new feature this past Monday called mute, and here are all the specs.

The mute button is a new feature that works on Android and iOS. According to Twitter, “Mute gives you even more control over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user’s content from key parts of your Twitter experience.” Muting a user means that their tweets and retweets will no longer appear on your timeline, but you’ll still be following them. So basically they become invisible, but they can still favorite, retweet and reply to your tweets. They won’t know you muted them and you can mute and unmute whenever you want.

HOW TO MUTE

Muting is very simple. From your timeline, simply select one of the person’s tweet and tap on the three dots, then “Mute @username”. You can also go to their profile, tap on the gear and then “Mute @username”. (Coldplay was used for demonstration purposes, I would never mute them.)

So there you have it. No more sitting through a bazillion tweets of self-declared experts during sports events or awards. Or depressed tweets after a friend’s breakup. But careful, this is a double-edged sword: you might just get muted too! Suppose, by someone you were trying to impress. And now they’ll never read your tweets. What a tragedy!

This feature will be available to everyone in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

How To: See Who’s Unfollowed You on Twitter and Instagram

@helsyflores

You go into your Twitter and (if you’re a total creep) you notice you have one less follower. Whatever, I don’t care. We are free human beings. People can unfollow me if that’s what they want. Their loss, right? And you go on with your day. But curiosity corrodes your soul, and 1 minute later: OKAY, WHO WAS IT?! Or maybe you’re a community manager and need to know when important accounts follow you, among other things.

As a social media enthusiast, I’ve gone through every app and website that let’s you know just who was that person who unfollowed you. Mainly because these apps provide other tools, such as knowing which verified accounts you’re not following back. Around two years ago, someone told me Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars had unfollowed one of my accounts; of course, I didn’t even know she was following me and so I wasn’t following her back, which is probably the reason she unfollowed me.

So, here are the best places to see who’s unfollowed you, and more.

TWITTER

I started with who.unfollowed.me and friendorfollow.com, but after one of my accounts reached more than a certain amount of followers, these could no longer display results for me. Then I found Unfollowers. I can’t describe how cool this app is. First of all, it’s free. And second, it gives you many, many tools. Here are some things you can do with this app, followed by an explanation of the most important ones.

1. Recent Unfollowers. This function displays your unfollowers. It even lets you sort and filter them.

2. Fans. This option displays all those nice people who are following you, even though you’re not following them back. It’s exceptionally useful when you have many followers and you just can’t keep track of who follows you. You can sort them and filter them in infinite ways. For example, if you want to see if a verified account is following you, you can select “Verified only” on the corresponding drop-down menu. But there are also millions of accounts that are not verified and that still have thousands of followers; for these you use “Followers/Following”, under the “Sort by” menu. Now, you want to use the “Followers/Following” option and NOT the “Followers” option, because there are many accounts who have, let’s say, 90K followers… but because they’re following 89K. So 89K followers are only following because they followed them in the first place, and the remaining 1K are only there because they thought “Wow, this account has 90K followers! It must be super popular.” It’s shameful, but many accounts do this. They open a new “Common White Girl Problems” or “Love Quotes” account and go on a follow spree, and as soon as people follow back and they reach a good amount of followers, they unfollow everyone. (Oh my God, you’re so cool.) And some don’t unfollow them, they’re happy having 90K followers even though they follow 89K. Anyway, the Zombie Filter is also super cool. It takes into account all those people who only tweet mysterious, spam-looking tweets, and stuff of that sort.

 

3. Not following back. This option displays all those brats (just kidding) who are not following you back. You have the same sorting and filtering options as above.

4. Inactive Following, Fake Following, and No profile image. If you have OCD and like to keep everything in your life, including your Twitter, as neat as possible, this is for you. These three options are very similar and pretty much serve the same purpose: Who’s not worth following. Inactive following displays all the people you follow who haven’t tweeted in a long time. How long? You decide. The Fake Following option displays the profiles you follow who might not be actual people, aka bots. And as for the last option, we’ve all encountered the egg. These are all those people who created a profile, used it for 5 minutes, and forgot it forever; your dad, who even though he joined Twitter a year ago, still doesn’t know how to add a picture; bots; hipsters who think they’re super rebels by not posting a picture… you get it.

5. Send a welcome DM to new followers. 

As you can see, Unfollowers enables you to do many things. I can’t go over all of them, but you can head over there and experiment yourself.

INSTAGRAM

With Unfollowgram, you simply sign in and you can check who unfollowed you. It won’t work on your first visit, since it will have just made a register of the people who follow you. By your second visit it can review your actual followers and compare this list with the registry list. If it doesn’t work, reload by clicking where it says “Check” and a little arrow.

It also lets you know who’s not following you back and who you don’t follow back, just click on the corresponding tabs.

I would like to end this note (totally contradicting this article by) saying that having unfollowers or people not following you back does not define how cool you are, you’re still awesome! Stop stressing about insignificant things!
