Children's Cancer Fund is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas. Their mission is to raise funds through fundraisers and events in order to donate towards children's cancer research. 

This year, the organization celebrated their thirty year anniversary gala at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas. The Make Your Life Sweeter® team had the opportunity to attend the Gala, and work hand in hand with the amazing souls that dedicate everything they have to help those in need. 

The Make Your Life Sweeter® team and I had a SUGAIRE® Organic Cotton Candy Infusion Bar set up for the attendees as they walked into the VIP room, everyone went crazy for the SWEET treat! In the children's room, we set up a SUGAIRE® candy tasting bar with gummy bears and glow lights for the kids to enjoy while they waited to go on stage.

The children's room was full of fun activities for the kids to enjoy throughout the night. They had everything from magic shows and pizza buffets to balloon figures and Disney princesses!  Every person in the room was having a great time and am so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience such a joyous thing.

Later that evening, my team and I were able to watch the annual fashion show put on for the past thirty years for the non-profit organization with the most prestigious guests anyone could ever ask for; the kids themselves.

Every year, these kids have the opportunity to walk in the Children's cancer Fund fashion show alongside someone that they admire. This year, we got to see many acclaimed faces in the crowds. Some of the more notable faces were Dak Prescott, Tony and Candice Romo, Miss Texas, Troy Aikman, and the 106.1 Kid Kraddick Morning show's team, to name a few.

The night ended with a fundraiser which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars all going towards cancer research. DJ Tony Romo also made a surprise appearance which made everyones night. It was such an amazing and extraordinary night and am so honored to have been apart of it!

Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway located in Fort Worth that hosts IndyCar, Xfinity, and Monster Energy Nascar Cup races; as well as many other events.

This past April, We had the opportunity to attend Texas Motor Speedways Open House and were blown away by the exquisite facility that houses thousands of race goers almost every weekend.

The open house started with a brunch in the ballroom to all that joined in the festivities of the day. The food served was amazing; they had mini omelets and eggs benedict with yogurt parfaits, everything was so scrumptious!

After breakfast, we were all ushered to charter bus' to escort us to the Texas Motor Speedway Suites located at the very top of the racetracks seating area. We were all greeted with sushi and lemonade as we all took in the exquisite views of the track.

Throughout the tour, the Make Your Life Sweeter team were able to see all of the most influential spots of the Texas Motor Speedway Racetrack and were in awe of how beautiful the place was. Every place we were taken, we were welcomed with a different environment of fun things. One Suite had candy lined all along the walls for us to take, one rooftop bar had a DJ playing live and the tent area even had a photo-booth! 

The last stop on the tour was the garage near the track. Race-cars lined a aisle through the facility and a band played hit songs throughout the day. As you walked in, you were greeted with a man on stilts and reflective gear. To your right you got to choose between all different kinds of flamboyant donuts and banana pudding (which, by the way, was made right in front of you). In the center of it all was a live spin of Fluffpop® Artisanal Mini Cotton Candy.

As guests flooded in, they were amazed of how something could taste so good, yet be so low on calorie intake. Everyone loved the sweet treat and I couldn't have been happier with the end results.

Towards the end of the open house, Texas Motor Speedway held a raffle for all of the guests. Thanks to my amazing client, I had the chance to participate in the raffle and was, in fact one of the winners!

I had a once in a lifetime experience to ride along in an actual race-car with an experienced driver and had an amazing time! I am so incredibly thankful to be able to experience things like this and am so gracious to all of the people in my life that allow me to pursue these unbelievable and wonderful things.

Over the past few months, the Make Your Life Sweeter® team has had the opportunity to work closely with the California- based chain of salons known as Drybar. I have come to know this team of amazing people personally and was so thankful to work hand and hand with them at the annual Ulta Convention in Houston, Texas.

Ulta Beauty is a nationwide cosmetic store that sells everything from eyeshadow pallets to curling irons. Their stores carry the most popular makeup and haircare brands in the country, so naturally, when we had the opportunity this last April to attend their convention, we couldn't turn it down.

My team and I drove to Houston the day before to meet the Drybar team and get a feel for the convention center. I'm so glad we had the chance to see everything the day before because it was like magic the next day. Chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling, carpet lined the aisles (which was not there 12 hours earlier) and booths as far as the eye could see were set up, each a different brand of makeup or hair care.

My favorite booth had to in fact be Drybar's. They had granite countertops set up for their hair table, yellow chandeliers made out of their signature hairdryers and they even had a hair DJ behind the booth spinning tracks the whole day. But my all time favorite part of the booth had to of been the SUGAIRE® Organic cotton Candy Martini with sparkling water!

Situated on either side, were SUGAIRE® Texture Takeover booths to celebrate the launch of Drybar's newest products. As General managers from all Ulta stores across the country started flooding in, they couldn't help but get excited for this sweet treat!

Throughout the day, I had the opportunity to walk around and see all the different booths that were on display. From dancing cowboys to an underwater paradise, each one was unique in its own way. 

The Make Your Life Sweeter® team had the best time at the Ulta Convention! We made friends and memories that will stay with us for a long while. I'm so thankful to of had the opportunity to attend and am so gracious to the wonderful Drybar team for inviting us to go!

For over 60 years, Carter BloodCare has provided life saving resources to hospitals all around the state of Texas. By doing so, they've helped those in need of vital assets, aiding them in a new way of healthy living.

Throughout the entire span of April, the Make Your Life Sweeter® team had the unique opportunity to work with the Carter BloodCare community. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the blood-drive would put together an amazing banquet to honor Texas' top blood donors of the year. 

The team and I traveled around the Dallas Metroplex to serve some sweet treats to the honorees of the evenings festivities and what a delight it was! We served a SUGAIRE® cotton candy mocktail bar with a mango passion fruit lemonade and a choice of Pina Colada, Mango or Passion Fruit cotton candy. As guests left, they were treated with a customized Hotpoppin® bag of Better than Chicago popcorn, which was loved by so many!

Being in different locations, I had the opportunity to witness how unique each banquet was. Every destination was so exquisite and I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve such wonderful people!

The Elisa Project is an organization that helps and guides individuals of all backgrounds to a healthier way of living. Through TEP, many people are able to get the resources needed in order to help and diminish eating disorders. Recently, The Elisa Project held a luncheon at the BrookHollow Country Club with a very special keynote speaker; Chrissy Metz.

The Make Your Life Sweeter team had the opportunity to donate hundreds of products to the event, all to further a remarkable cause. Every seat was furnished with either a bag of HotPoppin Popcorn or a sweet pint of Sugaire Organic Cotton Candy.The VIP tables were dawned with our MOD SWEETS Artisanal Collection of popcorn, we even got to gift the honoree; Chrissy Metz with our signature Keepsake Box (which she loved by the way). The guests adored the sweet treats, and enjoyed a little snack while learning more about The Elisa Project. 

My team and I arrived early to set up the event, it was wonderful to see things before guests filled the rooms. Every table was set with an exquisite floral center piece with fine china for every guest. Before the event started, The Make Your Life Sweeter Team had the chance to meet the Golden Globe Nominated and "This is us" actress, Chrissy Metz!

While the guests started flooding in, my team and I took our seats at our table that was so graciously donated to us from The Elisa Project. I invited some close friends as well as my team, so that we could all experience this remarkable cause together.

As lunch was served, women from The Elisa Project went to  the podium and explained why they fight against this terrible disease that hurts so many people. They described cases where they've helped others and even had someone speak who had an eating disorder, and how The Elisa Project helped her overcome those tough times. 

After lunch was served, the speaker welcomed Chrissy and asked her to join her on stage. They talked about how important it is to love yourself and have a strong support system when times get rough. She talked about how she has struggled throughout her life with her weight and self image and said that if she could tell herself then what she knew now, then she'd say not to listen to the people that put you down; it's your life and it's your body, live it the way that you want. 

This luncheon was so inspirational and sent such a strong message to all of the attendees in the room. It was such an honor to be able to listen to such motivational and real words and im so thankful that my team and I had the chance to be apart of something so amazing!

Memorial City - Houston

The Make Your Life Sweeter team and I had the extraordinary pleasure of attending Hotel Zazas Grand Opening soiree in Houston a few weeks back, and it was anything but simple.

This Texan hotel brought a perfect mixture of comfort and style  that are hard to come by in other hotels, bringing an intimate feeling to each and every guest. 

"ZAZA AIR" was the theme for the hotels grand opening party. Guests were welcomed to a red carpet leading into the hotel, greeted by Flight Attendants and Pilots handing out passports to be stamped at every room. 

People made their way through the hotel, amazed at every little detail the ZAZA staff went through to make the experience memorable. There were luxury cars lined up out front, models imitating live art throughout the hotels, a violinist jamming along to Drake's top hits, and a pretty awesome hot tea bar from yours truly!

Located in the luxurious "ZASPA", SUGAIRE® was in full swing running an Organic Cotton Candy Hot Tea Infusion Bar for eager guests.

Greeted by the Make Your Life Sweeter® team, everyone had the opportunity to choose from nine flavors of SUGAIRE® and were presented with a fabulous treat to end their night.

On the fifth floor, guests were able to walk-through and experience the "Magnificent Seven Suites". From the "Passage to India" to the " Godfather" suites, no room was the same. This gave guests an extraordinary experience of understanding the creativity behind the hotel and seeing how much work was put into making such an unforgettable stay for each and every individual that chooses to stay at this one of a kind hotel.

The tenth floor held many exquisite choices of food and beverages that would fit anyone's needs. The dance floor was buzzing with people dancing and having a great time. Movies projected onto the walls, trapeze artists swayed in the room and a violinist played along to the DJ; making an incredible end to an amazing night!

The Make Your Life Sweeter® team was so honored to be able to have made everyones night at Hotel ZAZA a little sweeter!

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

The Da Vinci school fundraising gala was an event of pure elegance and wealthy donations. The event was held at the Dallas Country Club on the 10th of February. At seven o’clock, company started pouring in through the doors.

Guests were greeted with Rose Gold cotton candy on top of champagne at their arrival, dawned with masquerade masked straws and all. The fashion that lied in the coat closet alone was to die for. Women wore fur jackets of all colors, while others dawned the most exquisite pairs of shoes.

Little clouds of cotton candy danced around the room and made their way to the guests. The crowd loved Make Your Life Sweeters twist on, “just another glass of champagne”.

As the night grew longer, everyone was escorted towards the dining hall, the fundraiser was about to begin. My team and I had the opportunity to join in on the festivities and witness the auction first hand. The Auctioneer was auctioning the most amazing things away. Some of the donations included: A week long stay in Aspen, CO. a tour of a Tesla facility, a safari hunt in South Africa and a vacation in Belize, to name a few. People were throwing up their paddles like crazy, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, all going towards an amazing cause, their children's education!

After the fundraiser had concluded, guests were once again greeted with the Sweet faces of the Make Your Life Sweeter team! Nestled between a remarkable fireplace and the dessert bar, guests were welcomed with Hotpoppin® gourmet popcorn bar. The popcorn bar held the three sweet flavors of: Chocolate Covered Salted Caramel, Confetti and South African Peppermint Crisp. Guests were overjoyed to find such a thing, they were even losing their spots in line from the dessert bar to try a piece of our sweet treats!

The night was full of sweet outfits, sweet people and an even sweeter cause! I’m so honored that I was able to be apart of it.

This past week, the Make Your Life Sweeter® team and I had the opportunity to attend and spread a little Sweetness to a lunch like no other.

With everyday life and hectic schedules, Morgan Pieper thought to end the convenient and easy choice of unhealthy food choices. With her company, Feed Me Pronto, she developed an alternative and healthier way of living. With work weeks booked with plans and appointments, Morgan is able to bring nutritious food to anyone’s dinner table, no matter the schedule.

From ping-pong tables to fully stocked snack rooms, the headquarters of RewardStyle did not disappoint. Nestled in the heart of Dallas, the marketing company is a platform for influencers and bloggers to share and sale to their fellow consumers. Having taken a personal tour, I’d have to say I was pretty impressed. The 8th floor held the main lounge area where RewardStyle team members could work in comfort. Down the hall, the main kitchen held a breathtaking view of the city with the most picturesque qualities. The dining area was open and bright with natural light filling the room.

Feed Me Pronto held a collaboration lunch to give the hard-working team members of RewardStyle some healthy goodness in their lives! The Make Your Life Sweeter team had the opportunity to be a part of this special day by topping off the drink options with our organic cotton candy, SUGAIRE®.

As the RewardStyle staff starting flooding in, SUGAIRE® starting flying off the shelfs, everyone loved the idea of a healthy, and tasty dessert option.

At RewardStyle, I was able to see a beautiful office and meet the amazing people behind an extraordinary brand.

All the while, making life a little Sweeter.

100 Ideas for Living a Beautiful Life in Dallas

Our first event of 2018 was soooo SWEET!

We made it on the D Home “100 Ideas for Living a Beautiful Life in Dallas.” YAY!!!

This event showcased some of the best vendors around Dallas for living a beautiful, luxurious life. We had a very special activation for this event. Instead of using our popcorn bins and a regular table, we worked with our venue and space and had HotPoppin® and Sugaire® INSIDE SINKS!!! We have never done an activation like this and it was a total HIT!! Seeing everyone’s expressions as they walked in to see popcorn and cotton candy inside sinks was so memorable.

The venue for this event was none other than Expressions Home Gallery in the Dallas Design District. It almost felt like Expressions was made for this D Home event. Every aspect of this venue was so aesthetically pleasing. The very first thing people saw was a beautiful bathtub filled with a gorgeous flower arrangement from The Southern Table. I could feel the excitement of people as they walked in to see the home gallery wonderland.

Bass was rattling chandeliers, The Bowen House Dallas bartenders were serving up some amazing cocktails and Oakclifff’s Garnish Kitchen was Flambé-ing away.

While mingling, guests had several different activations to see. Oil and Cotton was teaching calligraphy with leaves and Maxine Owens from The Southern Table was demonstrating DIY flower arrangements.

D Home and D magazine are very near and dear to my heart. I have been working with them since I started Make Your Life Sweeter and I am so glad I still get the opportunity to work with them. This event was SO SWEET! Everything came together perfectly and my team had a blast meeting new vendors, clients and new friends.

Until next time, D Live!

New York City is home to some of the most innovative and high tech companies in the world. This past December, we had the opportunity to explore Facebook’s insanely SWEET office.

Most large work spaces and offices are designed with cubicles and plain walls - Facebook is NOTHING like that. Everything about this office was fascinating. It’s every employee’s dream office; no two rooms or floors are alike, you’re fed three meals a day with an abundance of options.  Here are just a few of the SWEETEST things I saw while at Facebook NY!

1. Nestled inside the world of Facebook is Sweet, sweet Instagram. The North side of the 7th floor belongs to Instagram’s programmers and consultants.  Since the holidays were just around the corner, we treated the Instagram team to a hot chocolate bar infused with their choice of  Sugaire® Cotton Candy (Classic, Sweet Peppermint or Sea Salt Caramel).

2. Micro Kitchens are conveniently located around each floor, stocked with a plethora of your favorite snacks and drinks. Each micro kitchen included a snack cart, three refrigerators full of every drink imaginable, and a latte machine for coffee and tea. My favorite snack was Peeled Snacks Organic Dried Mango with a FOUND Elderflower Sparkling Water. SO YUMMY!!

3. Motivational. Posters. EVERYWHERE. Literally everywhere I turned there was a poster telling me to continue doing what I love and I loved it!! I was introduced to many new quotes, along with some of my favorites. Positivity was all around! Along with the motivational posters, each office and conference room was named something hilarious. There was a “Pokemon” office and a “Leggo my Eggo” conference room, to name a few.

4. “The Weekly Push” - this is a weekly update posted inside the stalls of each bathroom stall that gives insight on specific Q & A’s, How To’s and updates on how Facebook is doing as a whole company. Besides the articles on the stall doors, these restrooms are DECKED OUT! Essentials such as sanitary items, deodorant, toothbrushes, floss and mouthwash are provided in each of the restrooms. Forgetting something essential at home is so annoying, but Facebook has helped employees by providing everything that they may need to be comfortable in the office.

5. My favorite thing about FacebookNY’s office is none other than the FOOD. Gourmet food is provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Desimone's is a cafeteria set up like a school cafeteria, but with a more adult feel to it. Cafeteria tables are set up and employees actually sit next to each other and socialize. The chef’s prepare food for all dietary restrictions. There is also an extravagant salad bar with any salad item you can imagine, a make-your-own sandwich bar that ends with panini grills and even an ice cream cart filled with your favorite flavors of organic ice cream!

Every Thursday from 5pm-7pm a happy hour mixer happens in the cafeteria. The awesome event staff that organizes this event, features different vendors with yummy snacks and treats every week! This happy hour happened to be SWEETER than any normal happy hour, because we were in attendance with a Hotpoppin® Gourmet Popcorn Bar bar and a Sugaire® Organic Cotton Candy hot chocolate infusion bar! While all of the employees were enjoying their Chinese takeout inspired dinners and taking pictures in the photo booth, they were stopping by our tables for some popcorn and hot chocolate!

My team and I had an unforgettable experience at the Facebook office. Our clients, Carolyn Nagler & Daniel Stokes, took such great care of us and we can’t wait to be back again to make Facebook a little bit sweeter!!

A night full of serendipitous laughter and dancing were in full effect the night of December eighth. Held at the beautiful Belo mansion, the Mckool Smith law firm held their annual holiday party in the most extravagant way.

The “lights” theme was in full swing starting at the door. Guests were greeted by 12 foot robotic characters signaling their way to the entrance using laser guns, quite the entrance if you ask me! Inside you were handed light-up necklaces from women dressed in LED dresses with matching headsets.

The historic Belo Mansion was completely redecorated to fit the nights theme. They sure lit it up!! Chandeliers made of disks were covering the ceiling, reflecting a beautiful rainbow off of anyone's path it crossed. Light’s of all different colors ran up the walls. Floral pieces decorated the tables with the most magical embellishments.

Every room had a different theme, as well as a different act. In the first room you were greeted by an insanely talented singer with a dress of fire. (Don’t worry, it was computerized!) In the second room, dueling piano singers doing some amazing...well, you guessed it, duets! In the next held Tarot readers, dressed to the nine in the most whimsical outfits anyone had ever seen.

The food was served in fish- bowl like dishes to guests and included many choices for even the pickiest of eaters. From shrimp to french fries, everyone's deepest cravings were satisfied with the food selection.

The excitement of the night skyrocketed as the Make Your Life Sweeter® team entered the party. Whimsical women dressed head to toe in reflected outfits carried a plethora of light up Sugaire® on trays out to eager guests. The party- goers couldn’t get enough of the SWEET treat. Flavorful poofs of Gingerbread and Sweet Peppermint flavored Organic Cotton Candy couldn’t make their way around the room fast enough!

The night ended with men and women of all ages dancing and singing on the dance floor to a Canadian cover band with an amazing spectrum of songs, as well as eighty different costume changes. It was a SWEET night, to say the least!

Each year, we donate our services to some SWEET organizations and charities. The MS Society® has, and continues to hold a very special place in my heart. A few years ago, my aunt was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have seen the effects of living with this disease first hand and am more than happy to help in any way possible when it comes The MS Society®.  

This past year I was chosen as the “MS Society Person on the Move” and was so grateful for the opportunity to make everyones day a little sweeter. The MS Society® of Texas was also celebrating their 1 million dollar donation milestone, which made for a amazing evening!

What an honor  it was to be selected as 2017’s “Person on the Move”! I still can't believe it, but I am so proud to be a supporter of The MS Society®.

Style Maker Awards

2017 was such a great year!

CultureMap Dallas has a Stylemakers Awards Reveal Party every year sponsored by The Plaza and 2017 was no different. CultureMap Dallas asked their readers to nominate someone deemed most stylish. From there, they selected 12 semifinalists, and I happened to make it to the semifinals. What an honor!!!  

The finalist selection process was based off online votes. This was such a tough competition, I mean all the contestants were all absolutely fabulous and stylish! I had no idea that I would even make it to the finals, but I did! The finalist along side me were Amber LaFrance, Rida Mandavia, Brad Pritchett, Deve Sanford and Molly Tuttle. These fashionable finalists were such a joy to compete with!

Before the reveal party each of us went had a photoshoot to show off our personal style and were interviewed by CultureMap Dallas. [Read my interview here!]

The theme this year was “Defining Decades of Style” which I absolutely loved. After photoshoots and interviews, we got the chance to visit The Plaza and put together three outfits that reflect our personal style, one of which was a “Defining Decades” inspired outfit.

REVEAL PARTY TIME!!!

My team and I arrived a little earlier than the finalists to help prepare swag bags – we were including some SWEET ModSweets popcorn into each swagbag. A red carpet was laid out and Tootsies looked beautiful after everything was all set up. Each finalist had a mannequin set up with their outfit of choice.

Mini tacos were being served by Taco Diner, Oliver the Pug (one of my props!) was getting so much love and DJ Blake was paying hits from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s was playing. DJ Blake also showed Zain how to be a DJ!

While everyone was mingling, the judges, Nardos Imam, Catherine Lowe, Lynn McBee and Chris Hite, went to each finalist to hear more about their interpretation of the theme and their style.

Once judging ended, they called the finalists to the stage and revealed two awards. The first was the readers’ choice, which was won by Amber LaFrance. The judges then revealed the Ultimate Stylemaker to Deve Sanford! Both women who won were beautiful inside and out.

Although I didn’t win, this was such a great event to make new friends and to reconnect with old friends. I am so thankful I got the chance to be a part of this friendly competition!

Thanks CultureMap Dallas for a great event! So glad Make Your Life Sweeter could be a part of the 2017 Stylemakers Awards!

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, especially the parties. Since its inaugural year in 1974, The Cattle Baron’s Ball has been raising money for the American Cancer Society. This SWEET event has raised over 68 million dollars and continues to be the largest single-night fundraiser in the country! The Cattle Baron’s Ball has been in shows like “Dallas” and has hosted some of the greatest country music artists of all time. Gilley’s Dallas opened their doors in 2003, and since then has hosted the renowned Cattle Baron’s Ball every year.

This year’s theme was “Shooting for the Stars” and boy, did it live up to its name! Tents, music and the entire Gilley’s venue lit up the night.

Three rooms and a tent were dedicated strictly to food and drinks. The smell of barbecue filled the hallways and rooms and country music was playing all around. Our HotPoppin® Gourmet popcorn bar was set up in the dessert room where we shared space with an ice cream cart and saddle seats for mingling.

Live auctions with prizes such as poker games with past and present Dallas Cowboys, autographed photos, vacation packages and meet-and-greets with Brooks and Dunn raised over $100,000 this year.

Each year, Cattle Barons Ball brings in some of the hottest country legends. This year we got treated to not one, not two, but three great performers. Pat Green performed in the VIP stage and then everyone moved to the main stage to see Brooks and Dunn perform. I am not too familiar with country music, but they were amazing performers who knew how to liven up a crowd! The energy in the main stage tent was electrifying. Everyone was singing and dancing the night away.

This event was so, so amazing and I can’t thank The Cattle Baron Ball team enough for bringing us back for another year of fun!

On September 15th, 1917, Forbes magazine was born, which means, 2017 marked the centennial year of this phenomenal magazine that transformed business journalism! When I received the first phone call from the Forbes team I was in shock! It has always been a dream of mine to gain Forbes as a client and now I was getting the chance to attend the FORBES @ 100 celebratory party! A.K.A the biggest party of the year in New York City!!  I could not believe it!

This exclusive soiree was hosted at the ever elegant Pier 66 and had the most epic guest list. Business people of all industries were in attendance, from talk show and TV Host Dr. Oz to Chobani Yogurt founder, Hamdi Ulukaya to one of the greatest businessman of all time, Warren Buffett.

Throughout the night, Champagne was infused, Fluffpop’s were spun and friendships were made. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the most influential business women and men. many of whom unknowingly helped me get to where I am now.

At around 9pm, host Warren Buffett made his way to the stage. He introduced the one and only, STEVIE WONDER!!! EEK! The crowd went nuts as Stevie took the stage. He graced us by singing some of his greatest hits like “My Cherie Amour” and “Superstition”, but we were in for a treat when Warren Buffet went on stage and sang a duet with Stevie.

At the end of the night, everyone left with a pint of Sugaire, including Stevie Wonder, who’s new favorite cotton candy is Banana Cream Pie Sugaire!

As if things could get any better, to top the night off, the Forbes social media team approached me for their Instagram photo of the night.  Let me clarify... they were asking ME to be their ONLY post that night; it would be the photo that they use to capture the entire essence of the night! What an honor! I think it turned out pretty SWEET!

Before leaving the party of the century, I made sure to take a picture on the Forbes @ 100 red carpet. This opportunity was unlike any other. Being surrounded by all of the most influential women and men was inspiring, to say the least. Thanks to our client, BNY Mellon for giving us an unforgettable night!!

Until next time, Forbes!
