NewBeauty September TestTube, $29.95 ($255 value)

There’s only a few days left to snag the NewBeauty September TestTube box before we release the next tube at the end of the week. As many of you know I joined the NewBeauty team as a Guest Editor, and have been helping curate their beauty subscription service, TestTube. TestTube is the original, editor curated beauty box and features 8 full + travel size beauty products valued at $180+ for $29.95! The September box is epic and valued at $255!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s what’s in the September Tube!

  2. AnteAGE Home Multineedling Kit (full size) – $120

Ralph Lauren Fragrances launches exclusive scent, ROMANCE Pink Pony Edition

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Pink Pony, Ralph Lauren Fragrances continues this important initiative and commitment to the fight against cancer, with an exclusive scent, ROMANCE Pink Pony Edition. Throughout the month of October, Ralph Lauren Fragrances will donate 100% of the profits to the Pink Pony Fund.

As part of the launch I got to attend an exclusive floral arrangement class with Lewis Miller, who is partnering with the brand for an upcoming Flower Flashes, which will be inspired by the fragrance and will pop up throughout NYC during October.

The first Pink Pony “Flower Flash” will pop-up on October 13 in front of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Ralph Lauren Center (RLC). Since its founding in 2003, RLC has cared for thousands of patients making it a beacon for accessible, compassionate cancer care for residents of Harlem and beyond. RLC provides high-quality care in a warm, welcoming, and culturally sensitive environment.

Pretty Connected Mask Chains As Seen on Wendy Williams

Valerie Greenberg sharing her mask chain pick on The Wendy Williams Show

Our mask chain straps are on Wendy Williams! Lifestyle Expert, Valerie Greenberg shares Pretty Connected mask chains as part of the Stay Safe & Chic segment for the Wendy Williams Show!

During the segment Wendy commented, “Now here are the usual masks but these are more fabulous” followed by “these are really creative!” Mega sigh!

The masks shown on air are part of our Simple Satch x Pretty Connected collaboration ($45-$50 for the mask+chain set, $30 just the metal chain), and the BOY MEETS GIRL x Pretty Connected Dylan folding mask + plastic chain set ($32 for the mask and chain set, mask available in kids and adult sizes, $22 for just the plastic Dylan chain separate).

In response to Wendy’s unisex comment, she’s not wrong when it comes to the chains paired with our exceptional female-founded partners listed above. They do sku more feminine. However, our mask chains alone offer tons of more unisex options. Our new Ryan ($30) gunmetal chain launching on Friday, the Dylan plastic chain ($22) in light blue, royal blue and black, as well as the Charlie Chain ($24) in silver (black and gold coming soon!), have been huge sellers for the boys. Although we try not to gender stereotype over here since we’re working hard to have an option for everyone, no matter how you identify. We’re all about personal style!

Thank you Val and Wendy for an amazing show!

The unique partnership my signature two-toned makeup style complete with midnight blue liner and ombre lips, and a special edition photo frame highlighting Pretty Connected’s best-selling mask and multi-purpose chain strap accessories. The interactive try-ons allow fans to experience the trendsetting fall beauty style and chain-link photo frame with a tap of their smart device.

I’ve previously partnered with YouCam for my beauty non-profit, Share Your Beauty where for National Lipstick Day we partnered with editors/influnencers to do a drive where they could donate their unused lipsticks to a women’s shelter in the tri-state area.

What do we do about our Wedding? As seen in The New York Times!

Like many, the dream of having my wedding be in the New York Times, felt just like that, a dream. And today, it happened for me. Well sort of. Instead of covering the soon to be ‘best day of my life’, it’s about the subject that keeps me up at night. Figuring out what to do and how to celebrate this amazing 14 year relationship I’ve been in and commemorate our love. In over a decade we’ve accumulated a lot of friends. Whether or not we’re now just Facebook friend or acquaintances, many of these people are a part of our love story, and as someone who is always of the ‘more the merrier’ mindset, I want every special human, that’s ever touched my/our lives to be a part of my big day.

TONIGHT at 7pm EST! Join our FB Live Shopping Event with Century 21!

I’m so excited to announce I’ll be LIVE with Century 21 department store at 7pm EST on their Facebook page! I shopped legendary NYC department store with Irene, Century 21’s Resident Fashion Insider to score some amazing deals and designer must haves of the season.

The store is currently running a 75% off in store promotion off the lowest red tag items so expect crazy designer deals at never before seen prices all from the convenience of home.

The Original Face Mask Chain Strap + Note to Small Business’ Everywhere

Pretty Connected Gold Face Mask Necklace Strap ($30-$36)

For some of you that have been following me for some time, you know I pioneered the chain Mask Strap holder. Having launched a collection of multi-use chains a few years ago, it’s been such an incredible journey from journalist to entrepreneur. Also for anyone looking for added inspo on how to use my mask straps:

While nothing about this time has been easy, your support has helped me in ways that I don’t think I’d otherwise be able to do all of this as a 1 woman show.

Star Magazine named our Mask Chains the Hot Accessory Pick of the Week! On stands now!

The journey has really made me appreciate the struggles of small business’ and why it’s so important we support them. Especially in today’s climate. When it comes to the Pretty Connected Shop, I’m currently my own pr, marketing person, and warehouse. I pack all of the orders, I am the web master, social media manager, advertiser, photographer, product developer and just about every other hat you can imagine. And I’m not alone, small business’ everywhere are hustling hard to get noticed, so if you love them, show them some love. Like their posts, share them to your stories, tell your friends… send them a DM with a quick note or comment about how you love them.

Happy National Sunglasses Day!

It’s hard to believe that 3 years ago, I made my debut as an on-air for National Sunglass Day for Sunglass Hut doing a segment for Extra. Today holds a special day for me.

While our annual shoot was canceled this year due to Covid, we did partner on the cutest #NationalSunglassesDay mailer that I’m so excited my Mask Chains got to be a part of.
