My Kind of Town

 

It’s been a whirlwind book tour for Pretty Powerful: Beauty Stories to Inspire Confidence. We’ve zigzagged our way across the country and still have more events to go (check out the schedule here ).

First stop, my hometown: Chicago. When I’m there, I always make time for my favorite things: a visit with family; a run along Lake Michigan; a bite out at RL (the Dover sole is the BEST; they’re famous for it); and a pop-in to my guru Dr. Richard Arrandt—he’s more than a chiropractor, he treats your whole body. I go a few times a year for adjustments and supplements to keep me feeling balanced. And when I’m not in Chicago, I follow Dr. Arrandt on Twitter for healthy lifestyle tips (@chicago_guru).

This visit home, though, was extra special—and crazy busy too. With just two full days in the Windy City, we had a lot to squeeze in. The highlights? My 7th grade teacher, Mrs. Fox, stopped by our book signing at Nordstrom, as did many of my friends from junior high school and I felt like I was 12-years old all over again.

 

Next, I got to live out my ultimate fantasy as—you’ll never guess it—a TV weather girl. Yep, I joined Good Day Chicago meteorologist Mark Strehl in dishing out the day’s forecast (clear skies and 68 degrees). I got to stand in front of the map and everything; I was beaming.

 

 

I was also honored to be given a fantastic book party hosted by Sheri Salata (she’s the President of Oprah’s Network, OWN, as well as Harpo Productions). Sheri invited so many cool Chicago women (plus my dad). I had had the pleasure of doing Sheri’s makeup in the past when I was on Oprah and—to my surprise—Sheri actually framed the face chart we created from that very day. Too sweet.

The icing on the cake? Meeting and photo op with none other than Cindi Lauper backstage at Windy City Live.

 

 

I mean, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “True Colors”? You can’t get any more Pretty Powerful than those.

XO,

Bobbi

  2. I really admire BobbiBrown.
    I’d like to come to a class, wherever they are given.
    I have a Lot of her products, and I continue to collect them,
    but, not being very artistic, and, having so very many products, I stay
    confused as to what to do with it all. less is probably better,
    but, I wanted it All! (I am not very good with naturally knowing what to do
    with what I have).
    are ‘classes’ offered anywhere near my area? (Ocala/Silver Springs, Florida)
    I’d like a ‘makeover’ . . to show me what to do with all that I have.
    I keep ordering more and more but am not using what I have to it’s potential
    because I’m just not sure how. thnx for your time in reading this. if you can
    offer help, that’d be WONDERFUL. I’m a huge Bobbi Fan . . I have all of her books,
    and read them and dream, of how I can become more confident if I could only
    apply the makeup like I should.
    I will surely Always order More Makeup from BobbiBrown
    (probably more than i’ll ever be able to use!)

    We can help, Cheryl! We suggest contacting a Bobbi Brown counter nearest you to set up an appointment to work one-on-one with a trained Artist. If you don’t see a counter in your immediate area, we hope you’ll stop by a location if you happen to be traveling. The other open we would love to offer is to visit http://www.BobbiBrown.com and chat live with an online Bobbi Brown Artist (you can even upload your photo!) for tips, techniques and suggestions.
