I just got back from my amazing trip to New York and I felt the need to pause for a moment, take in everything I’ve experienced, and share it here with you. Because there are experiences that don’t just stay in your memories… they become a part of you.
For those who haven't been following my Instagram Stories (I also created a featured folder called "New York"), I spent five days in the U.S. with my mom to showcase the brand and take part in a truly special masterclass.
And even now, I still have a hard time finding the right words.
Why this trip wasn’t just work.
It wasn't just a matter of getting on a plane and flying to the other side of the world.
It was a mix of emotions—pride, fear, gratitude, and love— that all intertwined in every single moment.
Arriving in New York and seeing our brand there—in a city you've always imagined from the movies—was surreal.
Walking through the vast streets of Manhattan, knowing that I’m there to tell the story of a project built with passion, sacrifice, and a whole lot of heart… is something I’ll never forget.
The masterclass was one of the most exciting moments of the trip.
Seeing people who were interested in hearing our story, discovering our products, asking questions, and sharing their enthusiasm… made me realize even more just how much love goes into all of this.
But do you know what the best part was?
To look up and see my mother standing there.
Next to me.
With eyes full of pride.
And at that moment, I truly realized just how amazing what we were experiencing really was.
Sharing all of this with my mom made thetrip even more special.
I believe that there are achievements in life that become even more meaningful when you can share them with the people you love.
And experiencing New York with my mom was just that: a huge gift.
We laughed so much, walked for hours without feeling tired, grabbed quick meals between one commitment and the next, and gazed at the city lights in the evening like two little girls marveling at something magical.
There have been some very simple moments that I will cherish more than anything else.
Chatting in the hotel before falling asleep.
The knowing glances exchanged during the masterclass.
The emotion in her eyes as she watched me accomplish something so important.
Amid the hustle and bustle of New York, I realized just how precious it is to have someone by your side who has always believed in you.
And maybe that's exactly the fondest memory I'll take with me.
This city overwhelms you. It makes you feel small, yet at the same time full of possibilities.
Every street, every streetlight, every taxi ride seemed to remind me how important it is to believe in your dreams, even when they seem so far away.
If someone had told me a few years ago that I’d end up presenting the brand in New York alongside my mother… I probably wouldn’t have believed it.
And yet here I am, with a heart full of gratitude.
Thank you, Sisterine
A part of all this belongs to you, too.
Because your daily support, your messages, your affection, and the energy you share with me stay with me wherever I go—even on the other side of the world.
This journey has been intense, exciting, and at times even hard to wrap my head around… but incredibly real.
And I already know it will be one of those memories I'll cherish forever.
With love,
Carolina
