Top View Sightseeing NY Style #ad

13 Aug

Top View Sightseeing double decker tour buses have over 2 million happy customers.

I can definitely see why. I recently took a tour on one of these popular buses for a trendsbus event I covered with my blogger buddies.

Top View Sightseeing picked us up at one of their stops at South Street Seaport Pier 17. The buses are easy to recognize with their red, white and blue colors. I had a great time sitting outside on the upper deck. There’s also the option to sit inside on the lower level. Being outside up high got me awesome pics of landmarks in NYC. Yes I’ve seen these landmarks before as I was born and raised in NY but I don’t walk looking up taking pictures so Top View Sightseeing put me up close and personal where I got those amazing pics. I enjoyed hopping on and off and having the bus waiting till we got back then off to our next destination.

Double Decker Touring in NYC With Amazing Brands #trendsbus #ad

12 Aug

Have you ever been on a double decker tour bus in your own city? I have plenty of times but this tour bus was exclusive to bloggers for a fun event where we explored sites and brands while hopping on and off the Top View Sightseeing bus in downtown Manhattan. The hashtag for the day was #trendsbus

We met at South Street Seaport Pier 17 and headed to our first destination. As we traveled we took pictures at popular landmarks along with product from amazing companies.

My first pic was with Peet’s Coffee caramel macchiato true iced espresso with NY skylines in the background. Perfect size to fit in my purse and also kept me cool on a hot day. I’m a caramel type of girl and I also had the pleasure of trying their black & white, vanilla latte and mocha flavors. I enjoyed them all and look forward to purchasing more. Check out @peetscoffee on Instagram.

Our second stop was to Glam and Go for a tour to check out their hair salon. There was champagne, fur chairs and cool graffiti walls inside the bathroom. They offer tons of services and I can’t wait to get a blow dry. Head to @glamandgo_ on Instagram.

My next pic was on the bus enjoying the New Kind Kids Bars. Three different flavors in my goodie bag were Chewy Honey Oats, Chewy Chocolate Chip and Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. Not only did I enjoy these granola bars when I found out they only have 5 grams of sugar I was I had a huge smile on my face and ate all 3. My family and I will enjoy snacking on these. @kindsnacks is their Instagram handle.

The third stop at World Trade Center had walls of graffiti. This was the perfect stop to pull out my Body Armour drink and hydrate myself. The sun was definitely blazing and I needed a refreshing drink. I had the Orange Citrus Lyte Super Drimk. Other flavors include Peach Mango, Blueberry Pomegranate and Cherry Berry. Yes 4 times yes!!! Super hydration indeed. Go to @drinkbodyarmour on Instagram.

I also took my Imagine Snacks Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Crisps to the World Trade Center to snack on and get a get a cool pic with the graffiti. Made with real yogurt and 4 grams of protein and 8 grams of whole grain these are perfect for my family. Give @imaginesnacks a follow on Instagram.

Our last stop on our tour was to Dig Inn. This stop was well worth the wait because I was ready for lunch. I really enjoyed this place and their delicious food as I have been changing my eating habits drastically and I love what Dig Inn offered.
