Around the World Beauty: a walking tour that you don’t wanna miss in NYC! – Review

I often get asked about experiences worth your time and money here in NYC, especially for those traveling solo. So that’s why I was super excited to share this post with you, it was such a nice surprise for me and I hope it is for you as well.  Last Sunday I was invited to go on the  Around the World Beauty Walking Tour, which happens 3 times a month right here in NY. It is truly a way to immerse yourself in the world of beauty inside out. The tour is a great way to spend time with your friends while exploring the city and absorbing all the information that will enhance your time in NYC even more.

The tour

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by our tour guide and founder of  “Around the World Beauty”, Stephanie Flor, an beauty expert who puts all her heart and knowledge into creating this amazing project that brings the best of beauty and travel in one experience. She guided us through some of the most iconic streets in SoHo, which is home to countless beauty stores.

Our tour began at  The Alchemist’s Kitchen, which was one of the nicest surprises during the tour. The Alchemist’s Kitchen believes in the healing power of plants and works closely with suppliers to bring the best of clean and green beauty to customers. They are also one of the go-to places for CBD products. I also loved the fact that there is a coffee shop inside the store and I recommend taking advantage of it since you will be walking for 3 hours. The store also hosts different educational events and workshops for those interested.

The group is usually small so everyone has the chance to meet new people, make conversations, take pictures (of courseeee!). Actually, one of the first things we did was introduce ourselves, which is always exciting for me, I love learning about people and the more we talked, the more we realized how much we had in common! It was fun and I left the tour with new friends and even more empowered to see so many women doing great things in the world!

The tour usually visits 6 stores and one of the highlights for me was the stop at Natura Brasil. I’m Brazilian and seeing all the girls learning more about my country through a brand I love so much was very special! Another fun thing: we get swag bags from the stores we visit and 10% off our purchases! I thought I wasn’t going to buy anything but let me tell ya, it’s hard haha We were introduced to so many amazing brands that it’s hard not to take advantage of the discount! Also, here are some of the products we got (the swag bags!):

Another favorite was our stop at  The Detox Market, the place to buy green beauty and they do carry a good amount of vegan brands, which I loved! It was nice learning about the process of creating a brand, their strict system to accept brands that are free of all the bad stuff and discovering new products. I loved the freedom we had to ask questions and the fact that many companies care about customers and the environment.

Around the World Beauty  also offers workshops and organizes travel groups to destinations that inspire beauty and human connection in so many levels, I heard there will be a travel group to Asia next year! How cool is that?
