MAC Pro’s Hit the Pavement Block Party in NYC (Living statues and food trucks!)
Me next to a living work of art in MAC Pro makeup
MAC Pro brilliantly showcased what their makeup is capable of by hosting a block party under NYC’s Highline last week with their “Hit the Pavement” event. Blink and you might accidentally bump into one of the many body-painted living statues:

I was kinda in awe at how the makeup didn’t even seem to melt away with the sun.

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Truck
I’m so happy there have been so many pleasant days this Fall in the city, and last Sunday was one of them. After pretty much spending the whole afternoon in the West Village, I came across Van Leeuwen’s ice cream truck — now I’m just thinking, how did I ever miss this before?

This is seriously one of the best ice cream I’ve had in a while. The day I stumbled upon the truck, they had a special Earl Grey Tea flavor. If you’re a tea lover like me, you will loveee how this tastes so true to its flavor. The hazelnut also had such a crisp, buttery taste (they use Piedmont hazelnuts, straight from Italy).
Kebabalicious in Austin, TX

Kebabalicious
The other day I was fighting criminals that were trying to break into this orphanage that I volunteer at. All of a sudden I realized, I was starving. So I samurai punched the last criminal in the face, and after the cops took him away, I went with my friends to Kebabalicious.
You know all those Turkish places Shyema’s always raving about in NYC? This is like those, except good.

Being interviewed for the Food Network - airing Aug 15
BATF had the great fortune of being asked to contribute to a new television series on the Food Network called The Great Food Truck Race. The show will debut on August 15th at 10pm EST / 7pm PST, and yours truly will make her grand debut as a certified food expert (well, blogger anyway) on the August 22nd episode. The host will be a famous American chef who already has a show on the network, but since his identity has not yet been revealed on their site, I don’t want to blow his cover (hint: he is the speaker in the promo).
