Must Do: Museum of Feelings in NYC

museum-of-feeling-kelidascope-room If you’re in or headed to NYC plan a date for the Museum of Feelings. Located in a downtown New York in a tent outside Brookfield Place, it’s the first museum that reacts to emotions and turns them into art. While that may sound emotional, it’s quite the opposite. Get ready to engage your senses through touch, feel, play, listen, imagine, breathe — and don’t forget to dance! The museum consists of 5 interactive rooms, one’s all sparkly and reflective, there’s a kaleidoscope room, one that feels like you’re in cloud.

Although it’s really challenging to keep up with all the new brands I keep reading about, so when I heard about the Indie Beauty Expo, I was giddy with anticipation.
