Last weekend I had the luxury off taking a few days off from work to take flight to NYC, with no one other than my mom and few of my favorite platforms shoes. Though I've been to New York on a few different occasions, I still haven't learned my lesson when it comes to wearing platformed shoes while walking the streets of the big apple. If you're planning a trip to any big city, you'll want to take a pair of cute & comfy flats for walking endlessly around the city.
My objective for this trip was to do tons of networking, scout new brands and to enjoy a relaxing weekend with my mom. I accomplished all of these things, with the exception of a few unplanned extras...of course I bought some makeup, but not nearly as much as my mom. I'm more of a skin care, nail care & perfume type of gal, with the exception of lipstick.
Day 1: We arrived to New York around 8:45 a.m. Our hotel check-in time wasn't until 3:00 p.m. We ventured up and down 125th Ave. for a while. The streets were all blocked off due to a bike rally taking place. Talk about awesomeness! We ate breakfast. Passed time with a few other activities, and finally the hotel had a room ready for us. It was nap time! Later that evening we headed to The Makeup Show...

| We finally met Debbie Bondar, CEO & Founder of Face Atelier. She's
full of business insight, and an all around ball of fire. |
Day 2: We attended one of the Keynote forums, Impact: Social Media and the Internet in the Beauty Business with Nils Johnson Creator of Beautylish.com, On Air Beauty Expert and Publisher and Editor In Chief of TheMakeupGirl Lianne Farbes and Publisher and Editor in Chief for ThisThatBeauty and beauty/ style writer, Felicia Walker Benson on the panel.
