One of my favorite skincare and beauty brands, Neutrogena sent me a few products from their new Hydro Boost makeup and skincare line, just in time for me to get my summer glow on! Boosted with hyaluronic acid, these products promise to help increase skin moisture and reduce the appearance of aging and fine-lines.

The Hydro Boost Water Gel with sunscreen is my new favorite product! As someone with dry-combination skin, who knows better but still forgets to wear sunscreen, I couldn’t have asked for a better product. It moisturizes skin without giving that sticky feeling but still gives you a dewy glow.  

The color for the Hydrating Tint and Hydrating Concealer I was sent were a bit too light for my summer color but the Hydro Boost was felt and appreciated! It applied so smoothly and absorbed into my skin with ease. All my dry-combo skin people know how hard it is to find a good tinted moisturizer or foundation that doesn’t just sit on the skin heavily or start cracking. I’m going to have to find this in my shade!

Check them out and let me know what you think! I want to see your glow too! Post a picture then tag me, let’s glow together darlings.

The Coco Club was a pop-up by Chanel celebrating the release of their Boy∙Friend watch collection, November 12,2017 at The Wing in Soho, NYC. Chic and exclusive, It was the classy and fabulous woman's version of a Gentleman's club.


Upon entrance, you were granted your club membership card. Then, had a mini photo shoot to produce your member ID Photo and super cute GIF reminding you to "Be a Woman to Watch."









There was a beauty room, featuring all Chanel products, to get your makeup touched up, a Café to grab refreshments and along the walls there were clocks, photos and unforgettable quotes to live by.


The Coco phone booths seemed to be a popular spot, with Instagram worthy Chanel style phones and quotes.




The library & game room were super cute, all decked out with Chanel books, stationary, table tennis, pool table and more. The "Boyfriend Bar" was up so you could browse the new watches. Even the restrooms were girly and fun; the locker room with Chanel showers and towels was a nice touch.





The Coco Club was just a one day event but amazingly embodied all the attributes of an exclusive women's-only club. I even overheard people asking about an actual membership! I can't blame them; If it was real, I would probably join myself.




Til next time,

Nike Air Society is NikeWomen's network in New York, LA, Chicago and more recently Toronto. It's created and lead by powerful women to empower, connect and inspire creative-minded women through curated experiences and workshops.









The event I attended was "A Night of Inspiration," which was an evening of creativity and conversation. During the event, there was a panel of speakers, a group meditation, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and so much more.


Attendees had opportunities to get skincare tips and goodies from Dr. Jart, press flowers with FloraBrook NY, create fragrances with Maha Rose NYC and choose our mantra with a keychain from Ok Real. We also got adorable backpacks from Baggu that had acrylic frames for our Polaroids.











I'm looking forward to more Nike Air Society events, in NYC or other cities. For more information check out their website.

For Sunday Funday, I had brunch a beautiful Mediterranean restaurant, Café Medi. It's located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and has one of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen. The mural on the wall was created by a Spanish artist who was inspired by a Peruvian myth.

Next up were drinks at Hotel Indigo Rooftop/Mr. Purple, also located in the Lower East Side.

I think it's safe to say frosé is my new favorite drink for summer.

This past weekend I did Museum Hack's Badass Bitches of the Metropolitan Museum of Art tour and had such an exciting experience!

The Met is the largest museum art museum in the United States and one of the most visited museums in the world so it was nice to go on this unconventional VIP tour and explore art from a new perspective.

Tour guide explaining the "Marble Female Figure (Steatopygous)" from 4500-4000 BC

"Gable Figure" - Dilukai

"Lime Container" - Poporo

Paintings by Florine Stettheimer

"Lilith" - Kiki Smith

Bustling through the many works (and crowds!) of the museum, we stopped along different rooms to explore the female artists' work and always got a fun backstory or little known facts about the artist and the particular pieces. One of my favorites was "Lilith" by Kiki Smith and how it relates to the origin of lullabies.

We talked about Rodin and how his works were different before and after Camille Claudel, his assistant and lover.

"The Vine" - Harriet Whitney Frishmuth

Jackie O agreed to let the Egyptian tomb go to the Met so she could view it from her penthouse. Talk about Badass!

Museum Hack's Badass Bitches of the Met Tour was far from your traditional museum tour. I had way more fun than anticipated and to be honest, it changed the way I'll look at art, even when viewing on my own. I would recommend this or any of their tours to art lovers and newbies alike. I've personally never been a fan of museum tours but I would definitely do another one of theirs.

If you're not in NYC and can't make it to the Met, check out their website to see if Museum Hack operates tours at the museums in your city.
