Welcome to NYC, Mariah! I, too, dreamed of this place my whole life and landed here way later than intended. What a steep climb and what a winding road. But it led me to a dream job also in a beauty company! I will say it took me 3 weeks to leave my apartment when I first arrived but now I feel like I’m right where I belong. You’ll kill it here, enjoy!

I’m so, so happy that you’re sharing this. I went to NYC in January for the first time, my bf booked it for me for Christmas as every time I tried to book my own trip it would escalate into a 3 week trip, he decided to break the seal for me. I also dream of living there someday, I haven’t got as far as planning. Have you been to Fishes Eddy for kitchenware? It’s a trip, I promise. Also -Midnight Express diner. Tell me more when you get a chance, I can’t wait to hear all about it.

Loved reading this Mariah! always remember you from years ago and had been a joy to see you grow and thrive into what makes you happy. Always sending love to you! Btw, the stepping into your ownership comes in your 40s - at least it did for me. Xoxo Marlena

Mariah! I was thinking of your career move recently after seeing you on the social medias <3 I have so much admiration for you! From one upper east sider to another, welcome. (Even though I'm moving to Brooklyn by the end of the month lol)

The relatability I feel through this is unmatched. From the dream to wak those streets to working for a magazine. So happy to read this. Truly, this is something so inspirational and I do not say that lightly. Side note-can we appreciate the fact the current fashion trends plus the timing of you living there is perfect?! A 24/7 mood. It just hits different in NYC.
