EVENT | Cosmo's Fun Fearless Life Day 1

Image via Facebook
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Cosmopolitan magazine's first-ever Fun Fearless Life weekend in NYC, which was jam-packed with inspirational speakers who got everyone excited and pumped to get their own lives started. Taking place at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, the event brought young women from around the world together to network, collaborate and get to know each other!




DAY ONE

It kicked off with a bunch of male models who quickly became quite shirtless—good morning to us! Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles welcomed everyone to the event, surrounded by the gorgeous guys, not too shabby.
