Local Celebrity for Artistry Cosmetics

Artistry Cosmetics is the official makeup sponsor for Miss America. During our recent trip to Orlando, Artistry gave each contestant a kit of products to try out. My half empty lipgloss is a testament to my love for their stuff, so you can imagine my excitement when they asked me to be the local celebrity during their Amway Mobile Experience this weekend.


This bad boy, equipt with products and specialists for Artistry and Nutrilite brands, tours the country to visit business owners who work with Amway products. With Amway being such a large company, it's incredible that they still keep communication such an obvious priority between the corporate and local business level.

The inside of this bus was almost the size of my entire apartment (I know, NYC apartments are an odd and rather non-universal form of measurement.) I fell in love with the Fruit and Veggies 2 Go drink mix. Probably consumed a lifetime of nutrition over those two days. Between sips of juice I snapped pictures and chatted with guests from all over the Long Island area.


The best part was getting a chance to sit down and chat with local NY'ers about what I do as Miss New York. I shared stories about my CMN work, my efforts with bullying, and dropped some scholarship statistics that won the heart of even the most skeptical guest. Alas, even I at one point did not know what it meant to be a Miss America contestant. I am always glad when I can give someone a real idea of what these crowns mean and who these women are.


Ok wait...before you think I'm some goober who wears the same outfit for two entire days while getting close to people, I must let you know that my camera decided to take all my first day pictures as video clips instead of stills. So these are my friends from day 2. Yes, I know how hilarious it would be to upload the awkward two second clips from the first day. I'm hoping some of my day 1 friends will email me their pictures so I can share them with you! Haha phew, just had to defend my hygiene for a moment.

Thank you to my friends with Amway for letting me be part of this weekend and teaching me so much about the products. Thank you to the many new friends I made for spending the day with me! I hope to keep in touch, and look forward to possibly visiting a few of your schools and organizations soon!

Until next time...this is Miss New York signing off. Over and out.
