Upon arriving in Cairns we promptly boarded a ferry to Fitzroy Island (it’s a beautiful 45 minute commute), where we stayed at the resort for 2 nights in complete paradise. It’s a tropical paradise of rainforest and beaches surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef. It’s much less touristy then Green Island and both family friendly or great for a romantic escape.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka and actress Teri Hatcher will light the Empire State Building orange this morning to commemorate the International Day to End Violence against Women.
The color, bright and optimistic is to help “Orange YOUR Neighborhood”, an initiative by the UN Secretary-General’s campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women and to symbolize a world without this pervasive human rights violation that affects as many as 1 in 3 women worldwide. During the opening statements Hatcher admitted to being apart of that statistic saying she is “the 1 out of 3 that was abused.”
The International Day to End Violence against Women is commemorated worldwide on 25 November. The Day also kicks off the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, an international campaign which runs until 10 December (Human Rights Day).

As some of you know I decided to spend a month in Australia to avoid the harsh NYC winter – a week in Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne and Sydney, exploring each city and its surrounding areas.
Brisbane is Australia’s third largest city and is surrounded by great beach towns including Noosa, Gold Town, Byron Bay and as well as Fraser Island, Moreton Bay, North Stradbroke Island and Lady Elliot Island.
On Monday night, Neutrogena threw their annual holiday party, turning Paintbox in SoHo into a glittering white “Beauty Wonderland”. The event, in partnership with Rogaine, Rembrandt, BaubleBar, and Band-Aid, was hosted by Neutrogena brand ambassador Emma Roberts. Between mini makeovers with Amy Oresman, holiday hairstyling with Neutrogena Brand Ambassador Sam Leonardi, and polishing our fingertips with Paintbox, we caught up with the gorgeous star of American Horror Story, Emma Roberts to chat about winter beauty!
PC: What is your #1 seasonal beauty transition tip?
Emma Roberts: “Keep using SPF! So many people stop using sunscreen in the winter for some reason. I’m fair skinned and I made the mistake once when it was overcast and I never will again! I burn at the sight of the sun. “
PC: Do you stick to a fall/winter routine?
Emma Roberts: “Yes, always stick to a routine. If you’re not washing your face every night, it’s going to make dryness worse. Wash your face nightly and put your moisturizer on every morning. Don’t ever forget to take off your make-up. That’s why I keep Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes in my purse, in my bathroom, and everywhere else so I have no excuse not to take it off.”
PC: What do you think of the “bare face” trend?
Emma Roberts: “I like the bare face especially because so many girls hide behind a ton of make-up. It’s nice when you have make-up on but look like yourself. You’re accentuating your features instead of hiding behind the product.”
PC: How do you achieve a natural look?
Emma Roberts: “I use Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup in Classic Ivory. You can use it all over your face but I also use it just as concealer under my eyes and around my nose and chin. Then, I use the Healthy Lengths Mascara. It’s so easy and looks naturally pretty. I also carry the MoistureSmooth Color Sticks in every color in my bag to change my look by my lip color. They are so sheer you can also layer them on top of each other.”
PC: Since you’re always traveling, do you do any beauty treatments on the plane?
Emma Roberts: “I see girls in full-face make-up and I’m scrubbing mine off in the bathroom. Since most beauty products get confiscated, I carry the Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes, which they can’t take away from me! Once, I saw a girl putting stilettos on to get off the plane and I was putting on fuzzy socks from Target. I wondered if I was missing something. “

While I’ve been non-stop snorkling down under, I came up for some air to two really exciting features. First off one of my mentors, and friend, Stylist Patricia Field (yes, the Patricia Field, costume designer for Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada and countless others), featured me on her blog. Her intro was such a memorable quote and she inspires me everyday to work hard, stay creative and do what I love.
