👍🏽 The spot looks perfect but I just thought it might be a little too close to your heater. Be safe. Enjoy!
Just started watching your videos, not sure how the heck this video ended up in my algorithm, I’m completely opposite of you and your lifestyle. I’m a 59 year old white woman living life in the countryside of NY, not even close to NYC. However with that being said, I find your videos interesting, relaxing, and love to imagine how different my life could’ve been if I had been born and raised in the city. Good to see there’s life outside of this bubble of security I’ve created for myself, but often wonder, is it a bubble of security or a prison? Subscribed❤️
aww such a sweet comment so glad to witness… this usually someone’s insulting or being mean. very wholesome
I love this! Perspective is everything. I’m glad my videos could evoke this reflection in you. Welcome & thank you for tuning in 🫶🏾✨
I know. I’ve been getting weird suggestions too.n I got this one also.🤔. And not weird as in the channel being wired but weird for the demographic I would fall under maybe??
This is your sign to take a step and go do something fun in NYC..
Try using the trip advisor app to plan your trip for you. Happy exploration ❤😊
❤ So sweet Cheri😊
Your vlog is everything, I literally sat through the entire thing without increasing the playback speed lmaoo. Being from nyc this the entire vibe! Love the cinematography, the cuts into the pictures, the music choices, its very aesthetically pleasing and I see YOU and happy this was recommended to me.
Awwww 🥹🫶🏾 one of the best compliments is knowing someone didn’t have to speed through a video lol. Thanks for tuning in 🫶🏾✨
Yo, I can feel the creativity screaming out of this content. you definitely have your own vibe. The feel of your content is different in a good way you’re sitting in a high bar for yourself early, I hope the sponsors come running, and you find yourself where you want to be by the end of all this🫡🚛💨🔥
I’m a 62 year old mom of 3 young adults. I’d be proud of you just like I am of them. Nice job decorating your place!👍🏽❤️🖤💚. Your video popped up on my feed for UA-cam.
Awww this means so much to me 🥹🫶🏾 thank you for being here & tuning in 💜✨
This video was in my suggestions and I’m happy because I lived in Harlem for 3 years and this video made me so nostalgic 😊💯❤️
Ayeee! Listen I had me a time in Harlem okay lol
I’m so glad your channel slid through the algorithm for me. I’m truly enjoying all your vlogs and the inspo for me is so warm. Trust me that notification button is ON!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
🥹🥹🥹 I love this! I’m happy to have you here 🫶🏾🩵
Me tooooo!!!!! This vlog was so good! So cinematic! You are a natural and made for this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@ thank you 🥹🫶🏾 this means a lot to me
This vlog has such a cinematic feel ! Love it
thank you! ✨
I think the first place you went to was technically the Upper West Side. Bixi, however, is definitely in Harlem proper. Come back to Bixi and try their frozen rum punch, so good!
I’m definitely going back to Bixi! There’s a few spots close by to Bixi that I need to check out as well
This video popped up on my home page while i was bored at work, only for me to see you walking thru my neighborhood. Wish you much success!
Loved the positive energy of this video ❤
Been in a slump and your videos always fuel me with creativity and great energy!!! 🫶🏼
Ayee I love that! 🫶🏾✨
Love my nyc content creators ✨ we shine different
Hey Helen 🙋🏾♀️. I live in Brooklyn as well. I was so happy your video popped up on my timeline. I'm so proud of you for starting a UA-cam channel. I was also considering starting one, just not sure about what yet but I appreciate you putting yourself out there and I love your whole vibe; you and your friends are really cool; great job 🙋🏾♀️🌷.
Thank you so so much! I’m glad the algorithm did its thing! Def start your UA-cam channel I’m cheering u on!
Your room is amazing!!!! I also live in NYC and you gave me vibes! 🔥 nice video!!
thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏾
Love the vibe! The music selection was stellar! Do the mixed versions of songs help circumvent copyright issues on here?
Thank you thank you! ✨ & yes they do, sometimes!
Love the NYC vibes! The room might be tiny, but it’s all about making it your own. 🖤 That Harlem restaurant looked amazing (not so much ya food experience) , and Ikea shopping is always a whole adventure. Can’t wait to see more!
You get it! 🩵 thanks for the support, means a lot 🫶🏾✨
this is my first time here and your videos are a vibeeee. Yeah def a breath of fresh air
thank you so much 🥹✨
Harlem is definitely where it’s at!! I’m glad you enjoyed!! Definitely come back in the summer
it deff is! I slept on Harlem for a bit but now I know!
So proud of you getting the recognition you deserve ❤❤❤
thank you girl 🥹🫶🏾
Are you kidding?! The cinematography/edits go crazy 🔥 New subscriber here
Ayee thank you so much 🫶🏾✨💜
Man this is dope. The video edits and style of video 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate this so much 🫶🏾🩵
@@Whatthehelen_this is one of the reasons I subbed, love they way you edit
The vibes you got going & your music taste is immaculate ✨✨
i appreciate it 🫶🏾✨
Love the upgrades to your room! Giving super mellow/cozy vibes
Thank you, that was the goal! ✨
Not to gas it but this particular vlog was shot & edited spectacularly. Every detail, right down to song choice (thanks for listing everything, btw), was an exercise in simplistic perfection. Are you a film student/graduate? I felt like I watched either a short film or an episode of a new series with unbridled potential. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed and subbed instantly off this episode. Looking forward to more! PS - 'What The Helen' is genius 😅
@@JennyWHOA Hiii! Thank you so much for this well thought out comment. Honestly, I’m still stuck on why this video is doing so well(no complaints lol). I didn’t even think twice when it came to editing it, which is rare because I tend to overthink a lot lol & at one point I wasn’t going to include a lot of the clips for fear of being “seen” but I decided to just do it anyway. Sometimes that’s just what it is. As for your question, I am not a film student/graduate at all lol. I’ve learned everything from UA-cam lol. I genuinely appreciate this so much, thank you 🤲🏾✨
@@Whatthehelen_ What?! You're not an aspiring film maker of some sort??? I don't know if I should be offended (that you're letting talents go to 'waste' - not really) or even more impressed 😅
Same thing I said
the other side of nyc would be staten island imo. i love the ferry ride when the sun is going down. beautiful photos. im on the upper west side and there is a spot to catch the sun going down as well to get those photos.
The “give it back” in ikea 😂 I love your vlogs

😚🩵🫶🏾
You seem like a vibe I think im going to tap in more
Intro 🔥
Hey love ur videos! I was wondering where do you get your edit transitions and sound fx from they so cleannnn
I have a subscription with Epidemic sounds where I get most of my non copyright music/sound fx. HOWEVER, you can search on UA-cam for sound fx & film burn transitions & just screen record them!
Yay! A new vlog
thanks for tuning in 🩵🫶🏾
well done Helen!

Idk how I ended up in your space but I’m not mad at it. New subbie 🥂 ❤

Just seeing your video. I live on Amsterdam Ave. If you were at "Nobody Told Me" on Amsterdam and 106 than FYI that's not HARLEM it's called MANHATTAN VALLEY. You walked past my building. Thanks for the review.

It’s hilarious what New Yorkers consider “traveling far”
@@netty06 lmao anywhere that takes me an hour is too far, personally 😭
Loveeeee !!
Great video. New subscriber
What camera n lens u use?
I only use my iphone 15 pro max to vlog
i like you u got a sub
You look so much like another UA-camr I'm subscribed too, 'Nomadic Introvert' . You could pass for her younger sister or a younger version of her.
@@nickoletcampbell4657 I deff know who you’re talking about haha that’s so interesting
How old is you Helen ?
Nobody Told me is not in Harlem...Bixi IS in Harlem
@@MikelWash yep that was confirmed by someone else in the comments lol good to know
I nevever heard of someone calling Harlem is not bumble f 😂
Lmao anywhere that takes me more than an hour by train to get to is far as hell 😭
Suh wait a minute...the gentrifying the neighborhoods and my 🇯🇲cultural food too🙅🏽.. unacceptable.. how can you mess up Jerk chicken🤷🏽? If you dont know how to cook ..dont sell it.
Exactly! These are my sentiments! Gentrifying jerk chicken is wild!
Heyy! I was wondering if you’re still interested in making friends?
I enjoy traveling I’ve come to NY once and I thoroughly enjoyed it but I don’t know anyone there.
Harlem IS Manhattan lol
❤❤❤❤❤
what do you film on?
