Princess Victoria's Dress Explains Exactly Why She's the Most Stylish Swedish Royal
Crown Princess Victoria routinely shows off her sophisticated style, but her look is never complete without head-turning details. Even sticking to a black and white palette, the Swedish royal found a way to stand out at the opening of the Parliamentary session. She attended a church ceremony alongside Princess Sofia and Princess Madeleine, both of whom chose crisp black suits.
But Victoria's two-tone Paule Ka dress was something special. Complete with a gathering at the center and a bow, the design complemented her striped hair piece and looked elegant with pearl drop earrings. The crown princess accessorized with Tabitha Simmons pumps and a Nancy Gonzalez clutch, keeping things polished but playful. Her Fall-appropriate number is the type that gets everyone talking. Read on to get inspired, then secure a similar piece, sure to become a wardrobe staple for formal events.
Michelle Obama Just Wore the Type of Gold Gown You Need to Zoom in On
Michelle Obama's gown, though dreamy and princess-like with a sweetheart neckline, is not your standard gold dress. It doesn't shimmer with sequins or come adorned with bows, but instead, is netted and weaved with crinkled metallic details. Its dark underlay grounds the FLOTUS's ensemble, complementing her black sandals and gemstone rings. But it was her row of bangles that really stood out at the annual Phoenix Awards.
If we didn't know any better, we'd say Michelle chose her ballgown based on her jewels, and that's the appeal of a flawlessly coordinated outfit. It's little decisions like these that prove the first lady does not lack in style. It's certainly why we'll miss seeing her standout wardrobe as she gears up to leave the White House. Until then, reminisce over more of her most memorable looks and shop similar strapless dresses for your next big event.
Do You Coddle Your Children Too Much?
Do parents today do too much for their children? Elementary school teacher Pamela W., who reared her own kids to be self-sufficient, certainly thinks so. She is perplexed by the tendency of her students' parents to take on tasks that kids are perfectly capable of doing for themselves. "I see parents carrying their children's backpacks for them around the school campuses."
As it turns out, her concern is shared by many moms in our communities, including Megan R., who worries aloud that she's making her kids too dependent by doing their chores for them.
Teaching Dependence
From not knowing how to do their own laundry to haplessness around money, there's a price kids eventually pay for being coddled, as Johnny's story illustrates. She's a reader whose own parents coddled her, and she says it left her at a definite disadvantage when she left the nest. "I was totally taken care of in every aspect of life, until I moved out on my own at 17. You see, I desired to be independent and self-sufficient, but I really did not have the skills to succeed at all. I was lucky that my friends took pity on me, and that I was smart enough to join the first year student orientations that taught us about doing our own finances, taxes, and insurance stuff. But if I hadn't, I probably could [still have gotten] away with living with my parents, having them cook for me, [with] the cleaning lady doing my bedroom and my dad handling my finances."
Moms can also live to regret coddling their kids. Stephanie Y. is a mom of five who learned the hard way that babying your kids can inhibit their growth and independence. As she explains, "I absolutely believe you can do too much for your children. I can say I have honestly done my best in raising them to be independent. However. . . I am probably guilty of giving them too much at times. I am the mom that would carry my kid's backpacks for them, or buy the toy to bribe them to be good in the store. I needed to change. Be more of a parent. I had to stop that kind of 'help' and stop it fast. And when I did, there was a lot of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth! And for the first time I saw how disrespectful my own children were being to me. It was tough. I cried a lot. I felt like I was failing as a parent and as a person."
Kelly R. agrees: "We (parents today) are doing too much for our children. . . .we are teaching them to rely on other people for everything. What will happen to these children when they are adults? They won't know how to do anything without mom being there with them."
Teaching Self-Sufficiency
Moms who coddle have a whole host of reasons. Marty B. doesn't want her kids "to struggle or worry like I did back in the day." Sara feels her 10-year-old son isn't yet old enough to fold the laundry well. "I like things done a certain way," she explains. But Marty knows that by helping her kids, she may actually be hurting them. As she puts it, "when I'm unable to help or am dead, my kids won't be able to do for themselves."
So what's the antidote? As Ellen B. shares, we need to retrain our own thinking: "Once you get over the perception that only you can get things done on time, you will find training [your kids to help you] is a time saver." She believes that kids are capable of and willing to do a lot at very young ages, especially kitchen tasks like taking out the garbage, measuring and stirring ingredients, bringing their dishes to the sink, cracking eggs ("messy fun"), and setting the table ("imperfectly is fine - it is their work of art").
Stephanie U., a mother of two, is not only in Ellen's camp, but proves that kids will get on board. "When our 11-year-old daughter had to start vacuuming this year she was in shock! I reminded her [that] at ten I did ALL of the laundry for our entire family of five. She decided vacuuming was not too bad! Our son, 8, takes out the trash, wipes down a table, knows how to dust, and can clean up a room faster than he can trash it. They both strip their beds and I am teaching them to load and unload the dishwasher. They do NOT get an allowance and they help around the house as the price they pay to live here and be a productive part of our family."
Backing off the coddling and instead teaching your kids to do more for themselves may not be a change that comes easily, but many moms believe it's of critical importance. As Ellen explains, "The more children learn to do tasks and make good decisions on their own the better odds they have of living a productive life. . . . Doing less for them can give them the best possible chance."
Do you do too much for your kids?
This Empowering Video Will Remind You What True Beauty Really Is
Often, images in the media and advertising tell us there's only one way to be attractive. It's easy to feel pressured to fit society's rigid and specific (and also completely subjective) view of beauty. But a new video series called ReThink Beautiful is trying to change how we define the term.
In the first film of the series, a group of people explain what makes them feel their best and, therefore, makes them feel beautiful. The qualities are anything but superficial, including optimism, being true to yourself, and appreciating others.
Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of what makes people truly beautiful and we are much harder on ourselves and our appearance than we are on others. Beauty should be about doing things that make you happy, not anyone else. Watch the video for the refreshing reminder of what is important in life.
18 Selena Gomez Bikinigrams That Prove She's Definitely a 10
If there's one thing we love about Selena Gomez, it's that she's always game to show off her stylish swimsuits. After all, she's hot and she knows it. In fact, when the star called the TJ Show and was asked to rate her hotness on a scale from one to 10, she said, "On a good day, I would say - like a premiere day - I would be a good nine. And then, on my every day, I feel like a six. Gosh, that sounds so bad! I feel like a six or a seven."
But from the look of Selena's sun-kissed bikinigrams, for which she changes her style based on the prints, colors, and cuts of her suit, we'd say she's a definite 10 - even when she's on the beach with no makeup on. Scroll to find 18 times Selena proved she can work a swimsuit like it's nobody's business.

How to Be a Highly Effective Person, as Told by Veep
Selina Meyer and her malfunctioning staff are back up for Emmys for season five of Veep. In the world of the show, foul-mouthed, egocentric bullying is how stuff gets done, and while the satire may sometimes hit a little too close to home in the current election, we're still laughing harder than ever at Veep's outrageous antics and blistering insults. Because, let's be real - we all secretly wish we could behave like this every now and then.
Lion Is the Award Season Contender You Can See With Your Family This Holiday Season
Ah, holiday season - a time to practice the age-old traditions of gift-giving, overeating, and trying to find that one movie that's really good and that you can see with your parents without squirming in your seat during certain scenes. (Anyone who took grandma to see The Wolf of Wall Street knows what I mean.) We're still a few months away from Thanksgiving, but I've already found that movie for you: it's Lion, and it just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Not only is the movie totally SFP (safe for parents), but you'll probably want to give your mom or dad a huge hug after you see it anyway.
The film, which is based on a pretty incredible true story, follows a young boy named Saroo through his early life in India and the aftermath when he becomes tragically separated from his family at age five. Ultimately, he's adopted by a well-off couple in Australia, but as an adult he's plagued by questions about his roots and is haunted by the thoughts of his mother and brother who surely must have been searching for him all this time. Saroo becomes obsessed with finding his home, using only his limited memories and the help of Google Earth (which was pretty new at the time, in the early 2000s).
Like I said, the movie is based on a true story, so you can guess how it ends, but that doesn't lessen the impact of the huge emotional payoff (plus there are still some surprises along the way in Saroo's journey). The film is engaging and heartbreaking from the start, as we watch little Saroo (played by the painfully adorable Sunny Pawar) try to navigate the streets of Calcutta alone, to watching the older Saroo (Dev Patel) assimilate into Australian culture and his new family, only to slowly unravel in his young adulthood. Patel's performance is magnetic, and Saroo's relationships with his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and adoptive parents (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham) add heart to the suspense of what Saroo will find if and when he can return home.
As for being the perfect film to see with your family (and I'm not talking about little kids, because they'll be bored to death by this), it's impossible to watch Lion and not think of your own relationships and consider the circumstances of being separated from your loved ones. There's also the fact that it comes out around Thanksgiving, is already earning awards buzz, and doesn't contain any of those aforementioned uncomfortable scenes - unless you're uncomfortable crying together, in which case you might have to reconsider.
You'll See the Best Part of Jennifer Aniston's Minidress When She Turns to the Side
Jennifer Aniston's embroidered Valentino dress is quite romantic. Complete with strappy pumps and gold drop earrings, it's even a touch sexy. But the cut, a sophisticated fit-and-flare with pockets, makes it the perfect daytime mini. Jen turned to the side to show off all the details of her number at the LA Storks premiere. While Valentino's a fashion house that offers plenty of ornate gowns that flow to the floor, Jen was smart to choose a shorter silhouette for such a fun event. Read on for an all-angles view, then shop the look.
Shutterbug: 10 Pictures to Take on Baby's First Day

Whoa: This Harry Potter Theory Could've Changed the Series Completely
Get ready to breathe in and breathe out, Harry Potter fans - a recent theory is sparking up a conversation on the Internet on how the entire series could've changed. The single theory is based on one passage in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, involving the most underrated Hogwarts house - Slytherin.
The speculation, outlined by Tumblr user crazybutperfectlysane, discusses the idea of Cassius Warrington of Slytherin being chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament instead of Cedric Diggory. Both characters would still continue to help each other throughout the book up until the very end, when Voldermort still decides to kill Warrington. The user discusses the possibility that this might've united the Slytherins against Voldemort so they could have fought against him in the Battle of Hogwarts. Pretty crazy right? The entire post is below.
However, the theory train didn't stop here. Another user, aplatonicjacuzzi, took it upon themselves to delve deeper into what Warrington's death would mean to Slytherin, Hogwarts, and Harry. This would include Slytherins realizing that pure bloods aren't safe from Voldemort, joining Dumbledore's Army, and eventually facing off against He Who Must Not Be Named at last. The rest of the imagined storyline is below.
These two posts are currently circling the Internet, even though both are two months old. It makes sense - it's serving up the right amount of fresh "what if?" options we always need every few months. We can't imagine how different the stories of all our favorite characters would be like or how Harry Potter could have had different kinds of support at Hogwarts. Guess that's all we can do now: wonder how and what could change the story we love and treasure so much.

Why The Blair Witch Project Is Such an Iconic Horror Film
The Blair Witch is back. The follow-up film to 1999's The Blair Witch Project is here, giving us even more insight into the legendary entity that haunts the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, MD. Before we head into this new and uncharted territory in the woods, it's important to go back to the story's roots, so to speak. What makes The Blair Witch Project so great? How did it carve out a space in horror movie history? The answer isn't as simple as you might think.
The First of Its Kind, in More Ways Than One
The Blair Witch Project revolutionized the horror genre. It may not have been the first found-footage movie ever - that title goes to 1980's Cannibal Holocaust - but it's arguably the first one to present "found footage" in such a compelling way. The Blair Witch Project stitched together a film so chilling that it launched a whole new subgenre in the horror industry. There are now countless well-known found-footage films, with Cloverfield, V/H/S, Paranormal Activity, and As Above, So Below among the most recognizable. But The Blair Witch Project didn't just use found footage as an effective storytelling device; it presented its contents as fact, something no other found-footage film has quite as effectively done.
The Film's Intrinsic Hyperrealism
There's a reason the events depicted seem so real. Partial credit goes to how the film was presented. It's remarkably poor in quality, and it expertly captures that "burgeoning film student" sort of vibe. The characters depicted share the exact names of the actors who portrayed them. There's the subtitle of the film: "In October 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary . . . a year later their footage was found." At a time when the internet was still in its infantile stages, there was nothing to say, definitively, that this didn't actually happen. It was the thrill of the mystery. Did these students disappear? What happened? Is there something we can see in this footage that no one else was able to see?
In an interview with The A.V. Club, creators Dan Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez talked about how they layered in the realism. "We didn't want to tell people that it was real, but we didn't want to tell people it was fake, either," Sanchez stated. "We were trying to pull a hoax. We designed the film to be, from beginning to end, a completely real experience. We didn't want anything in it to give away the fact that it wasn't real. We wanted real town names, in case someone was from that area. We didn't want any three-point lighting; we didn't want any dolly moves. We didn't use any known actors."
It's true, there's something about the footage that's just so raw. The edits seem amateurish; the camerawork is shaky and unprofessional. In fact, there wasn't even really a script. In the same interview, Sanchez said, "Dan and I wrote a script that was about 35 pages long, and it was basically a script without any dialogue for the whole film. We had always wanted the dialogue to be improvised. We didn't want to put those kinds of limitations on the actors. The prime directive was to not give anything away that was fiction. I felt that by giving the actors the freedom to make up their own lines, it would seem a lot more natural than anything we could script." So all these moments between the actors, all these tiny idiosyncrasies, they layer together to craft a perceived realism. The way it seems so novice is, in the most counterintuitive way, masterful.
The Story's Dedicated Mythology
It's not just that the story of these disappearing film students seems so plausible. The filmmakers took it a step further. They went out of their way to infect the film's universe with a believable lore. Much of the stories related to 16th, 17th, and 18th century history are oral in nature. It's hard to tell what's fact and what's fiction. There was no real way to disprove the story of the Blair Witch, especially if you weren't native to Maryland or its surrounding areas. This meant, as filmgoers, we could see the Blair Witch as a part of the canon of American horror myths. Sanchez and Myrick stitched the witch into a part of history that included the Salem Witch Trails. They crafted a story that worked, and they stuck to it. The fact that they got local "townspeople" to weigh in, to tell the story, to fuel the myth, was all part of the magic that created the film's authenticity.
The Almost Stubborn Preservation of Mystery
And finally, the best thing about the film is that you really can't figure it out. There are no correct answers. The three filmmakers encounter plenty of horrors in the film, but we never see the Blair Witch in the flesh. Have they simply gone insane? Are they vividly hallucinating in light of food deprivation, sleep deprivation, and delirium? Did one of them murder the others? Did someone from the town, like the suspicious Mary Brown for instance, follow them and kill them? You could argue almost any individual theory about the film and you'd be right.
We don't get to see the Blair Witch, and the real horror is that our imagination will craft an image more terrifying than the filmmakers could ever hope to execute. The inconclusive ending is chilling, even unsettling. It doesn't provide answers but simply fuels more questions. And maybe that's the key to The Blair Witch Project's lasting legacy. You can watch it dozens of times, each time noticing something new, a small clue that might finally solve the mystery. But you'll never be able to figure out the Blair Witch, or what really happened to Heather Donahue and her crew. And that's the scariest realization of them all.

Bella Hadid Hits the DKNY Runway in a Whole New Type of Tuxedo Dress
DKNY's Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne made all the fashion kids stay up late on Monday night, and that's cool in and of itself. But the duo, who also cofounded Public School, knew they needed something extra to cause a stir. DKNY's Spring collection was shown at the Highline in New York City, the runway open to the outdoors. It girls Emily Ratajkowski, Nina Agdal, Constance Jablonski, Devon Windsor, and Martha Hunt sat front row, surely counting the looks that will amp up their street style next season.
Bella Hadid led the model pack in a hooded tuxedo dress that had way more downtown swag than red carpet edge. Crop top sets, trousers, track pants, and sweats followed close behind in cornflower blue, cream, and olive, many pieces snipped at or distressed at the hem. Tailored button-downs, branded bras, and transparent anoraks functioned as staples, working to break up the flashier designs, like those striped suits come undone with loose threads.
As for accessories? Everyone kicked it in rubber sock boots and secured leather fanny packs around their waists, twisted to the front or back, making it all the more easy to hit the ground running. And that they did at the end of the show when the models staged a stampede in their signature DKNY onesies. Now those will make for quite the Instagram moment.

Meanwhile, Olivia Palermo and Chiara Ferragni pluck statement pieces from Josep's line and create high-low looks.

That's no surprise - Font always manages to twist fabrics out into unexpected forms and utilize texture like no one else can. (Check out those earrings!) Below, we narrowed down the collection and curated the wondrous dresses, jumpsuits, and coats we wanted to reach out and touch as if they were clouds in the sky. We promise these creations will stick with you far beyond Fashion Week.

Carolina Herrera Just Served Up the Most Gorgeous Wedding Hair Inspiration
Whether you're gearing up for a fast-approaching Autumn wedding or simply planning ahead for Spring bridal season, we've found the perfect hairstyle to add to your hair inspo Pinterest board. Sure, braids have been a wedding-goer's foolproof favorite lately, but the "the chic bow" hairstyle we spotted backstage at the Carolina Herrera Spring 2017 fashion show was unmistakably one of the classiest looks we've seen thus far. And, luckily for us, the "origami hairstyle" - as hair genius/stylist for Trésemmé Orlando Pita calls it - isn't as difficult to re-create as you may think.
First, start by using three distinct sections - the top and two sides - and pulling them back away from the face while also ensuring you keep a deep side part in the hair. Then, using products like the Trésemmé Two Extra-Firm Control Gel ($6) and the Trésemmé Keratin Smooth Keratin Infusing Smoothing Serum ($6), smooth those sections back so that the hair has a "slicked-back but still soft" look. Finally, sweep one side section from above the ear across to the opposite side of the head and secure it with a small piece from that same, opposite side you crossed it to. Repeat on the other side and tuck the hair bands underneath those crossed sections of the hair to hide it.
So, there you have it. Orlando Pita created the most gorgeous wedding hair at the Carolina Herrera show and we couldn't be more excited to wear it ourselves. Keep reading to see the look from every angle.

You Can Ripen an Avocado Faster With These 2 Kitchen Essentials
There's nothing worse than browsing your supermarket's avocado stash only to find out that not. a. single. one is ripe. Before you raise your hands in an angry fury, stop! We have a pro tip, straight from the folks at the Hass Avocado Board: place your not-quite-ready-yet avo inside a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana for two to three days. It's that easy.
Why It Works
"The plant hormone ethylene, which occurs naturally in fruits like apples and bananas, triggers the ripening process. When combined in a brown paper bag, which helps to trap the ethylene gases produced by these fruits, these gases can cause the fruits to ripen faster together."
And with that, go forth and snag all those unripe avocados, because they'll be guacamole-ready faster than you thought. If only there was this simple of a solution for all the other struggles avocado-lovers face.

Are Kids Today More Entitled Than Ever?
"Are today's teens different than we were?" asks reader Gail E. It's not really meant as a question though; she firmly believes that something's amiss with this generation of kids. Another reader, Jodi, expresses the sentiment more bluntly, noting that kids seem "more entitled than ever before." She adds: "Kids seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. Maybe we could learn from parenting styles of older generations."
Are we really in the era of more-indulged-than ever offspring? And if so, what's causing it? Readers have various theories, some lighthearted, and many of them more serious. Here, we take a closer look at what moms feel is behind this suppoedly "all about me" generation.
1. Parents Buy Too Much
"I see little ones given so much so often," shares JuLeah W. "A little toy here, a fun little thing here, a buck here. It is all based on the, 'you're so cute ... I love you ... you deserve it' idea."
JuLeah argues that parents today buy far too much for their children: "They get a coloring book for walking in the store and not whining. They get a new beach ball and buckets because they are going to the beach and only have their toys from last year. Yes, their toys from last year include a ball and bucket, but not in the color they want this year."
Part of the problem may be modern technology and the Internet, says Janice C.: "Kids today often have an entitled attitude, because technology has changed so rapidly over the past thirty years and it's much easier to over indulge your child than in the past." As a member named Me Me shares, "My neighbor has bought their son (12 years old) five cell phones in the past year and a half because he keeps either losing them or breaking them. He doesn't care how much they cost because his parents keep replacing them."
If parents give kids whatever they want, why wouldn't they feel entitled to it, ask Bonnie M. "We need to stop giving our children everything," she declares. "We need to teach them that nothing is handed over freely. This is what life is about, working for what you want. . . .We are to blame [for] this generation's apathy." She adds that parents seem to be confused over what kids need and what they want: "How much does a child really need an X-box, a computer, and [a] television in their room?"
2. Kids Don't Fend For Themselves
It might have been endearing when 30-something Matthew McConaughey needed more than a little push to leave the nest in the movie Failure to Launch. But readers say moms are simply fueling entitlement by waiting on their kids hand and foot.
As Lissa H. says, "They never have to work towards or earn anything. They never have to be part of the team that is a family to work towards common goals. If you show them that they are the center of the earth and nobody else matters, that is what they will grow up to believe."
It's a trap that moms like Shannon T. are trying not to fall into. "I need to work on that," she admits. "Letting them do things for themselves. I am so used to being on autopilot that I need to stop and let them do it for themselves."
3. "The Way We Never Were Syndrome"
Though many parents feel today's generation is more entitled than ever before, there are some readers who strongly believe that the sense of over-entitlement is just an illusion. In reality, they say, kids are still just kids, but parents have delusional memories about how they themselves were so much better at that age.
Beth M. calls it 'The Way We Never Were Syndrome:' "My mom and dad have some crazy stories about when they were kids (the 60s), stuff kids today would probably not even try," she shares. "We think there was this golden era in history where families were perfect and children were well behaved and everything was great. But in reality that never existed. In the past, a child was overindulged because mom and dad handed them a china doll, a real china tea set, a record player, or a Sony Walkman. You don't think this is equivalent to today's child receiving an X-Box?"
Do you think today's kids are more entitled than ever before?

My Unplanned Pregnancy Is the Greatest Gift I Never Knew I Needed
We're happy to present this article by Chaunie Brusie from one of our favorite sites, YourTango.
We were preparing for our first-ever vacation alone, sans kids, to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico (read: alcohol), completely paid for by my in-laws (read: amazing) and I couldn't have been more excited. I was enjoying - for the first time in my life - being pregnancy-free and breastfeeding-free, feeling good about my career and enjoying a little bit of freedom as our kids reached those magical ages of being able to sleep through the night.
I distinctly remember visiting a friend who had just had a baby and holding him, announcing, "Gosh, it feels so good to hold this baby - and then give him back." I had absolutely ZERO desire for another baby at that point.
And then, of course, I got pregnant.
I spent most of my first trimester feeling horribly sick and wallowing in self-pity. Mexico was miserable (as much as I hate to admit that) and I felt almost embarrassed to have another pregnancy catch me by surprise. I was nowhere near excited about having another baby and almost dreaded starting over again.
Now that Sara is here, almost every time I look at her, I feel a twinge of guilt. I love her so much it hurts ... and in some way, I realize my love for her feels a little different than my love for my other kids. It's not different in the amount I love her, of course, but it's colored through a lens of intense gratitude.
Gratitude that she is here when I felt like I wasn't ready for a baby.
Gratitude that despite my horrific attitude, she is healthy.
Gratitude that once again, I have a daughter when I wasn't planning on getting pregnant - a daughter that is such an incredible gift I say a prayer of thanks every day.
Gratitude that in a time of life that's a bit stressful for us right now, especially in our marriage, I have such a source of love that lights up my entire world with just one smile.
Sara is such a joy to all of us. She is an incredibly sweet baby and I just can't help but think, when I look at her, how I could have doubted that she would be anything but more love in our lives. I guess I just feel humbled and thankful for her.
Despite my own miserable selfishness, I still get to have her in my life. I am so, so lucky.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but there's something about having a baby when she wasn't "planned" that makes her feel even more like a gift that I didn't know I needed.

The Beautiful Way Lupita Nyong'o's Career Has Come "Full Circle" With Queen of Katwe
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o is playing a significant role in Disney's Queen of Katwe - she stars as Harriet, the mother of real-life Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi, and she's also a significant figure in the life of the young actors whose mother she's portraying. I sat down with Nyong'o at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film had its premiere, and she talked about being able to play a motherly role both on and off screen to her movie kids, who had never acted or done press before the film. We also chatted about the full-circle moment this film represents, since she worked with director Mira Nair in 2006's The Namesake as an intern, and I even got a question in about her next big movie after this: Star Wars: Episode VIII . . . though that doesn't mean she answered it.
Image Source: Disney
POPSUGAR: Had you heard of Phiona's story before this film?
Lupita Nyong'o: No, I hadn't, not at all.
PS: When you got involved, what kind of research did you do?
LN: I got the script, and 10 pages in, I put it down; I was weeping. I wrote to my representatives and said, "I have to make the film." I was so inspired by it, I just felt like it was such a wonderful story, and one that we rarely hear from the African continent - an uplifting, heartwarming story with very layered, complex characters, and I just had to be a part of it. And Mira [Nair] directing it, I knew it was in very good hands, and I could trust that there would be an authenticity and artistic nuance that I would be happy to be associated with. I read the article that Tim Crothers wrote, I read the book, I watched Phiona, all sorts of YouTube videos - I did as much as I could before getting to Uganda. But to me, getting to Uganda was the meat of my research.
PS: So meeting Phiona and her family - what was that experience like?
LN: It was very informative and very inspiring as well. Harriet is a very grounded, quiet, and warm individual. Very guarded as well, so just recognizing that in her was something that I wanted to honor in my performance of her. She has a very deep voice, and I was marveled by it, and she sings very beautifully. Just learning from her what her life was like was great. Even just learning what games she played when she was a child and things like that . . . it gave me a good sense of who she was. It's a rare privilege to be able to talk to the person you're about to represent in the movie. And one that I was very happy to have.
PS: And the kind of person she is in real life makes for a complex character on screen. When we meet her, she's lived a hard life and is preparing her children for a hard life; were there things about her that you related to?
LN: Oh, yeah. She's a very relatable person. I've had a very different life, a way more privileged life. But growing up in Kenya, slum life was not far away. I had family that lived in slums, so I visited them often, and so I've seen and interacted with abject poverty. But I also know that because of that, poverty is not the definition of the people that live there. So, for Harriet, she is more than just her circumstances. She had a sense of humor, you know? There were things she'd say about her daughter, ways she'd talk about experiences she had with Phiona and Night, that reminded me of experiences I've had with my parents, or conversations my siblings would have had with my parents. She's very, very relatable.
PS: When you don't have children of your own but play a mother, where do you draw the motherly qualities from?
LN: Well, I was lucky to have her [Harriet]. So that was my first point of reference. She was the person that led me to the version of Harriet that I played. And it was also about just opening up to the children. It was very daunting to think that I would have to be the mother of these four children, and these actors, most of whom had not acted before, and somehow be the leader, both creatively and in the world of make-believe.
Image Source: Disney
For me, it was about spending individual time with each child, and winning their trust, and actually forming a bond with them off screen, so that we could appear as a cohesive family once we were on screen. The little boy, baby Ivan [Jacobo], who played Richard - he was only 2 when we shot, and he spoke no English, and so the first time he was out in my arms, he wanted nothing to do with me because he didn't trust me. So I had to learn Luganda. I had to pick up the basics of Luganda just so I could win his trust, you know? Every day, I was learning as much as possible to be able to have a one-on-one relationship with him. But then Madina Nalwanga, who plays Phiona, she's such an absorbent, warm girl, and she'd never acted before, but she was a dancer, and she had that discipline of a dancer, and she was full of curiosity. She'd sold corn in her past, in many ways she had a similar life to Phiona Mutesi, and I asked her to teach me how she would go and buy ingredients for a typical Ugandan meal and how to cook it. And so my whole onscreen family, we went to the market and watched Madina do her thing, and we went back to her house and she taught me how to make a Ugandan meal. So I think those things, that work, bonding with these particular children, really opened my heart to the idea of being a mother, and before I knew it, I was fiercely protective of them! Even on set, making sure that they drank enough water, were sitting down when they had a chance, and all that. I guess it's there - whether you're a mother or not.
PS: And now that you're doing press with them, are you playing that role here?
LN: Most definitely. I went through this crazy experience when I was 30, and it was so much for me. And so I know - I know what world they've come from, and I know for me, with all the privilege, how foreign and strange it was to be suddenly the object of everyone's attention. So I am trying everything to prepare them for this wild, wild world of red carpets and interviews.
Image Source: Getty / Alberto E. Rodriguez
PS: And it's still relatively recent for you.
LN: TIFF was my coming-out party, and now I get to usher Madina and Martin [Kabanza] through this. So it's a very sentimental feeling, to be able to pass the baton on. It's also very practical and I feel very honored to have that opportunity - to actually affect them.
PS: You were the intern for The Namesake, another Mira Nair film! When you signed on for this, did you make that connection with her?
LN: Well, me and Mira have been close since - her husband and my father have been friends since they were in university, so it's a family affair! My father never told me; I didn't know that my father had any connection to Mira, until I was looking for internships in undergrad. He says, "Oh, I have a friend who is married to a filmmaker, her name is Mira Nair, have you heard of her?" And I was like, "Oh my goodness, I can't believe you've been keeping this from me all these years!" So when I interned with her, it was great to have that experience, to work so near her. I watched early cuts of it, I got her lots of tea - but then, the next year, she has a film lab, Maisha, in Uganda. They invited me to be a part of their administrative team for that film lab, and then I ended up in one of the student films, so I had had that experience in her world, and then this came along. So she's someone I have looked up to and respected, and I deeply, deeply love and admire. So for her to send me an email saying, "I wrote this with you in mind" . . . it's full circle.
Image Source: Disney
PS: I also have to ask about your next film with Disney . . . Star Wars: Episode VIII.
LN: You know you're not going to get anything!
PS: I know, but I would be fired if I didn't try.
LN: I'm not telling you a thing!

This Math Problem Will Make You Question Everything You Ever Knew About Algebra
Math isn't everyone's best skill - and even those who are good at it are questioning everything after trying this algebra problem.
The question originally went viral in Japan, after a study discovered that only 60 percent of 20-somethings could actually solve it. Are you already feeling frustrated and hopeless at trying to know what the answer is? Watch the video below, posted by YouTube user MindYourDecisions, a popular math puzzle channel. In it, Presh Talwalkar, the mastermind behind this question, will guide you to the right answer.
As you can see, not even a calculator can help you, as it will read the problem wrong and arrive at the answer of 9. To solve it correctly in a calculator, you need to write it out like this: 9-3/(1/3) + 1, which will lead you to 1 as the correct answer. The problem tests your knowledge of PEMDAS, the order of operations formula, which says you must get to the answer by following these steps in this order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. In this question, that means dividing 3 by the 1/3 first, which is the same as 3x3. That will then lead you to 9-9+1. From there, 9-9=0 + 1 = 1. Ta-da!
If you arrived at 3, 7, or 9 as your answer, you're not alone. Most people have forgotten how to use PEMDAS or interpret the fraction of 1/3 the wrong way. Still not feeling much of a challenge? Try this other math question that not even parents could solve.

Long-Lost Letter From a Dying Mom to Her Daughter Was Just Found 15 Years Later
This is from a dying mum to her daughter it was found inside a second hand book can we find the daughter? @BBCTees http://pic.twitter.com/a11Y2hUo8g

Gordon Draper runs a secondhand bookstore in Bishop Auckland, England, and he recently discovered an emotional note inside a book that he knew was going to bring him to tears. The letter was written from a dying mother addressed to her daughter, Bethany, and was found inside an envelope packaged with an old photo of a mother and a daughter.
"Bethany (My little treasure)
If your dad is reading this to you It is because I have died and gone to heaven to live with the angels. . My chest was very poorly and I had an operation to make it better but it didn't work. I will always be in the sky making sure you are alright and watching over you. So when you see a bright star like in the nursery rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that's me. Be a good girl and live a long happy life your dad and Granda will look after you and take you to school. I will always love you and don't let anyone tell you its wrong to talk about me because its not. I hope you don't forget me because I'll always be your mam. Lots of hugs and kisses.
Goodbye
Mam. xxx
P.S I'm depending on you to look after Rosie for me now. Don't forget her will you not."
A letter has been found inside a second hand book its from a dying mum to her daughter. Do you know who Bethany is? http://pic.twitter.com/g0uG2IeWXq

"I just thought I have to do something with it," Draper said when he found the note. "Hopefully we will find this Bethany to hand her it back. My only wish at the moment is to get it back to its rightful owner." Draper's wish came true and Bethany Gash, now 21 years old, said it meant "the world" that he cared so much to return the letter to her. She said that her mother, Lisa, passed away in 2001, but before she got sick, she'd bought a lot of books in Draper's shop.
The letter must have been lost while they were moving homes and Bethany "never thought" she'd see it again. But in a Serendipity-esque moment, she was reunited with this tear-jerking memory from her past. "When I read the letter itself, it feels like an arrow is piercing straight through my heart," Draper said. "People don't always get the opportunity to say goodbye and through finding and returning the letter, I felt as though I was part of the farewell."
Thanks to your help Bethany Gash has been reunited with letter from her dying Mum. Hear her reaction tomorrow from 6 http://pic.twitter.com/hhyQAJIh41

Here's Why Right Now Is the Best Time to Buy an iPad
During Apple's big announcement on Sept. 7, the company's CEO, Tim Cook, focused on the highly anticipated iPhone 7, with little mention of the iPad. As it turns out, however, there are some exciting changes in store for Apple's tablets.
The most notable improvement is the increase of storage on the iPad Air 2, from 16GB to 32GB at no additional cost, which comes as a surprise considering the company's notoriously high prices. This means the iPad Air 2, previously listed for $399 for 16GB of data, will stay at that same price with double the amount of data.
Meanwhile, the iPad Pro will also be available at a slightly lower price. While the 32GB iPad Pro for both the 12.9- and 9.7-inch models will remain the same, the ones with 128GB and 256GB of data will be $50 and $100 less, respectively. Given these new findings, now seems like as good a time as any to invest in a tablet.

8 Reasons You Can - and Should - Enjoy Eating Plantains
For many Caribbean and Latin American households, plantains are a sort of dietary superhero. The starchy fruit is eaten in many different forms: ripe, fried to make sweet platanos maduros, or flattened and then fried to make crispy tostones. Any plantain enthusiast will tell you that they're all pretty damn delicious.
Aside from tasting amazing, of course, plantains are also a great source of many (perhaps unexpected) nutrients and vitamins. While it's still wise to enjoy their fried iteration in moderation, in general, the fruit just might exceed the benefits of its counterpart, the banana. Read on to find out why.
- Plantains are a rich source of energy. One cup of raw plantain can carry up to 181 calories. This not only makes it a fulfilling fruit, but also a hearty meal addition on the cheap.
- They are rich in magnesium, which plays a very important role in your energy, blood sugar levels, and bone strength.
- According to the USDA, plantains carry nearly 2,000 IU of vitamin A, way more than bananas, which carry a mere 76 IU. Vitamin A is essential for your vision, dental health, and your overall immune system.
- To no surprise, they also offer much more vitamin C than bananas; plantains carry up to 32.9 mg and bananas 10.3 mg. Vitamin C is effective at protecting your immune system and warding off infections and harmful free radicals.
- With around 900 mg of potassium, one plantain can amount for nearly 20 percent of your daily intake need.
- They're great for pregnant women! Plantains contain a good amount of folates - about 52 mcg - that help support healthy pregnancies.
- Plantains are considered a high-fiber fruit, meaning they aid digestion and maintain regularity.
- They're a healthier alternative to potatoes. Try making tostones if you're craving potato chips - they'll be even more satisfying and have more nutritional benefits!

20 Beautiful Bronde Color Ideas to Inspire Your Fall-Weather Makeover
While beauty girls have many reasons to love Fall, one of our favorites is that we get to use the season as an excuse to switch up our style. We pull our best vampy lipsticks out of our stashes, all things pumpkin spice are added to our routines, and we add a bit more of brooding color to our hair. If you're not quite brave enough to try out smoky lilac strands, consider testing out the more natural - but equally beautiful - dye trend known as bronde hair.
Bronde is characterized by the incorporation of glowing blond tones into brunette hair, but this is not your traditional highlighted look. The style is typically achieved using balayage, in which color is "swept" on to the hair strand by strand. This melds the hues together, creating a more natural, sun-kissed effect that looks neither definitively blond or brunette.
While it's usually women with brown- or black-toned hair who opt to test-drive the bronde trend, blondes love it too - it adds dimension to "tired-looking" color. Not only will your hair look healthy and alive after your salon appointment, but just glancing in the mirror at your new style will make you feel ready to conquer the Fall season. Keep reading for some of our favorite examples of bronde hair from Instagram when you read on.
