Early this week I left Scottsdale & Paradise Valley Arizona for 2 days in my original hometown New York City. The trip was related to my blog TM aka TalkingMakeup.com.  My background is quite a long story. I was born in Former Soviet Georgia then at age 4 months my parents immigrated to Israel where I grew up till I was 18 hence my Israeli accent.

It’s funny because sometimes when I tell people I was born in Georgia they say now I hear your Russian accent LOL. It’s not a Russian accent it’s Israeli. The point I’m trying to make is that since 18 I spent most of my life living and working in New York City.

So it is always nice to be back. I spent most of my time in Midtown Manhattan at the Dream Hotel, ma peche restaurant, Henri Bendel, CUTLER Salon, Rue 57, FAO Schwartz, The London Hotel, and Harry Cipriani. Here are some pics from my trip:)
