Hello from NYC! The view from my hotel:
Buildings, building everywhere!
I thought it would be fun to really go into detail about all the stuff Iβm doing in NYC so yβall can see the behind the scenes action. Lots of meetings and running around in flip flops with high heels in my hands so far! π
I didnβt plan ahead for lunch, and a delayed landing + a surprise meeting threw me for a loop. I ended up fending for lunch at Starbucks. I shouldβve prepared a little better β itβs so hard to eat healthy in the airport when youβre a vegetarian (and running late)!
Not a very healthy lunch, unfortunately. But a girl has to eat! I had a bagel with cream cheese, a banana, and a latte.
I was picked up from the airport and whisked to the city. Itβs pretty amusing that people move faster than cars in NYC!
My hotel is uber swank. Very NYC.
After checking in, I had 10 minutes to resolve a major issue with the Operation Beautiful website (itβs all straightened out now, thank goodness!) and change into appropriate attire for a meeting in the lobby with my publisherβs publicists.
Publicists have a really tough job β itβs their duty to plan everything down to the very last minute AND make sure I get my booty to where I need to be! The ladies (Lindsay and Adenike) managing me are super helpful and organized, so Iβm eternally grateful for them!
We went over basic stuff for the big interview tomorrow, but it was just nice to finally meet face to face. Feeling like I have friends in the city makes me feel more relaxed!
Sorry for the short but sweet update β Iβve got to dash! I had another meeting and then Iβm going to check out an giant Post-It art installation project. How cool is that?!
If you could have someone else manage any aspect of your life, what would it be? Personal assistant? Chef? Trainer?
Wow your hotel room is SO nice and swanky!! Good luck with your interview tomorrow – I cannot WAIT to see it! I would love to have someone manage my entire schedule and travel (including business and personal travel!) and my finances… π
