This past weekend was what dreams are made of.
Thanks to my lovely friends at Love Beauty and Planet — an eco-friendly vegan hair & skincare brand — I had the pleasure of attending the third annual PinkNic rosé picnic and music festival on Governors Island in New York City.
The two-day, picture-perfect event was filled with fun, good food, awesome music and of course people clad in their favorite shades of pink (and white) gathered for a chic afternoon of mingling, rosé sipping and sunbathing in the heart of New York Harbor.
As we got closer to the event, a bubble-gum-pink painted Ferris Wheel came into view, making a striking contrast against the bright, blue sky. Upon entering the event, attendees were greeted by beautiful stilt-walkers towering over guests in decorative, cotton-candy-colored costumes that looked straight out of Cirque du Soleil. Everyone in attendance looked stunning and those who wanted to amp up their looks even more were treated to a hairstyling booth sponsored by Love, Beauty and Planet.
At the beauty station, guests could get their hair styled eye-catching braids, flowers and scarves for beautiful, festival-ready looks. I was immediately drawn to the satin pink scarves to take my look up a notch. I tied the scarf around my head, creating a bandana-style headband that looked adorable, if I do say so myself!
Throughout the Love, Beauty and Planet space, there were fun activations like a see-saw, stationery bike and heart-shaped wall for guests to share short, hand-written messages about how they plan to help the environment. The wall activation is part of the brand’s #SmallActsofLove campaign, that promotes ways in which people can help preserve the earth. Whether it’s using glass water bottles or recycling your old makeup containers, all small acts lead to big impacts for the environment.
The brand’s designated area also had baskets of their Cleansing Body Mist for guests to enjoy on the sweltering hot day. Infused with coconut water, the refreshing mist smelled heavenly and was the perfect antidote for the scorching heat. It’s now one of my favorite summertime essentials to combat rising temps. In fact, I’m packing it for my trip to New Orleans for the Essence Festival later this week.
Love, Beauty and Planet Coconut & Mimosa Flower Showerless Cleansing Mist available here, $7.
In addition to Love, Beauty and Planet’s cutesy beauty booth, the rest of the picnic space had been transformed into a pastel, social media paradise. With adorable backdrops at every turn, there were endless Instagram-worthy shots that would make any influencer swoon at the photo possibilities. Plus, the stage was even decked out with pink lights.
Pink has always been one of my favorite colors, but after attending this pink party, my love for the girly shade has grown. If you are a fan of pink, pretty arrangements and decorations, then keep your eyes peeled for next year’s can’t-miss pink party!
