So if you follow me on Twitter (@kassiebarkerj) you will know I got the chance to go to New York. My lovely cousin Isabel asked me on Sunday if I wanted to go on the Wednesday - and I said yes, of course! So I arrived in NYC, during lightening, Wednesday night at about 7.30pm NYC time! I literally fell in love straight away. When driving into the city it was all lit up and looked so beautiful, literally like something out of a film! I immediately knew I would love it! So yesterday was my first full day in NYC, and it was a busy one. The day started with a breakfast with a lady who is started up and awesome new company where you can tailer the items you want, the idea was that you shouldn't settle for something! I loved the idea. So after the breakfast we headed over to the Facebook HQ which you can see a picture below. This was an incredible experience, it really was so cool. My cousin is good friends with someone who works there so that is how we got in there. I am so glad we did - their offices are insane. They have vending machines with iPhones, MacBook accessories and more in!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3S94y-cLX7c\/UWdCR1wMLWI\/AAAAAAAAFJ4\/Ejr62_MLDro\/s1600\/SAM_0662.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3S94y-cLX7c\/UWdCR1wMLWI\/AAAAAAAAFJ4\/Ejr62_MLDro\/s640\/SAM_0662.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-en2770VBLhE\/UWdCR19GKuI\/AAAAAAAAFJw\/808EerKqtdo\/s1600\/SAM_0664.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-en2770VBLhE\/UWdCR19GKuI\/AAAAAAAAFJw\/808EerKqtdo\/s640\/SAM_0664.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"\u003EAfter doing Facebook we did a little bit of shopping around Union Square which was cool. We did Sephora, Forever 21 and this skincare shop! The shopping here is on another level, including the Forever 21. I know we have a Forever 21 in the UK but it is like steroids here. It is like anyone who loves fashion and cheap clothing's dream. To go shopping we went through Grand Central Station which was super busy, but incredibly beautiful. I wish we had more of \u0026nbsp;these stations in London.

You'll have to take my word that it was incredible. After lunch we headed to the Soho\/Downtown NY area, and boy was I blown away. The cobbled street, boutique style shops and the \"hip\" people all made it so incredible. Downtown is a lot less crowded, but I loved it.

I don't want a sixpack really more toned, but I am hoping it will \u0026nbsp;help! Then the Bliss body butter is something I have wanted again for ages - I tried it a couple of years ago...wow. It is incredible. It smells amazing! The Make Up Forever foundation is the one Kim Kardashian uses and although I am not a fan of her, I am of her make up! Finally from Sephora is the UD Naked Palette - need I say more? Then we headed over to a skincare shop and got some bits from there to help with spots! I got the Skinceuticals serum thing for my spots - and I put it on last night, it has shrunk it so much already! Then some cleansing wash as well which helps with spots again.
