NYC Archives - Twenty Something Plus

To celebrate my birthday, the manfriend and I went to the city.

NYC obv.

Even though it was super rainy, I had an amazing time and was even able to cross a few things off of my 30 before 30 list.

Warning: As always, I took a crap ton of photos + I’m going to over-share…

Our visit started with a 10AM Info Session at Columbia Journalism School. ~~4. Go back to school (Masters in Journalism maybe?)~~

Then shopping which unfortunately consisted of mostly window shopping (such a tease!), but I did get to build my own box at the Birchbox store in Soho. I didn’t get my nails done, but maybe next time… ~~10. Shop at the Birchbox store in Soho~~

After dinner we enjoyed cupcakes from Sprinkles. Mine was strawberry and his was chocolate marshmallow. ~~13. Hit up the Sprinkles ATM~~

The real reason for the trip was to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, thanks to Groupon.

Since it was all for my birthday, I had to have champagne.

In a novelty cup.

With a light up swizzle stick.

We had tickets for the 10PM show…

It was a VERY long day. But SO worth it!

Heels were a bad idea.

I was very fortunate to be able to hit up NYC for BeautyCon!

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but after reading up on it, I wanted in.

And, thanks to the manfriend, I was able to snag a PRO ticket + some BeautyCon swag, along with my two besties.

What is Beautycon? Well, put frankly, it’s a beauty convention.

What does that mean? It means you get to stand in a lot of long lines to get to try makeup and beauty products from various companies, if you are 21+ you get free drinks, and you get to hear panelists speak on various topics such as social media and being a diva, as well as meet some of your favorite makeup and hair gurus, bloggers, vlogger, etc.

In other words, it is EVERYTHING!
