Lately...


 These past couple of days have been some of the most memorable and extraordinary ones... from the Alt Summit to the Color Run with 15,000 people, my bucket list is getting checked off more quickly than I thought. 

The first ever Alt Summit NYC was held this past Thursday and my mom and I were lucky enough to get tickets before it sold out! We were able to meet some amazing bloggers and speakers including Tina  Roth Eisenberg of swissmiss and Kevin Sharke and Pilar Guzman of Martha Stewart Living. In addition, Katie Armour of Matchbook Magazine, Jenny Komenda of Little Green Notebook, and Natalie of Nat the Fat Rat spoke. The event was held at Martha Stewart Omnimedia in NYC and was quite stunning! 

Did I mention that Martha...  the Martha Stewart stopped by!!! She has such an empire and is so heavily involved in each and every item that she sells, prints and designs that we were honored that she took the time to come see us. In addition she even shared some of her own blogging tips! 

Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early... it was so early it was more dark out than bright. At 4 AM the sun was just peaking out! It's not every day that I get to see the sunrise... 

But the early rise was sooooooo worth it because we did The Color Run! It was honestly one of the most fun experiences ever... we started off with our pure white shirts and in the end were were covered with colored powder. We ran a 5 K and in the midst of it you run through sections of specific colors. After the run itself, there was a DJ playing and a huge dance party which was a blast. Every half hour or so color packets were distributed and we would throw them up to create an amazing color array. Even as we left our traces were left with the pavement completely covered...

I absolutely loved everything about these past couple of days... I would highly recommend the Color Run to anyone... it was amazing! And I appreciated going to the Alt Summit, it was nice to learn more about the blogging community, a group that I am happy to be a part of! 

How was your weekend? xox
