<p>At half past twelve in the afternoon, Sarah Meier, Metro’s editor-at-large, is getting a final pat of powder from her Revlon makeup artist, Jen Delica, before we hit the road.</p><p>Today, Meier will take the Metro team around her neighborhood in Brooklyn, a place she now calls home. A couple of months ago, she took a leap of faith to relocate to this borough, leaving her life in Manila behind, to be with family.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bG8JjZ1ao5w" width="560"></iframe></figure><p>Sarah has always been fascinated with Brooklyn. For her, this borough represented creativity, freedom, and self-expression. It was a place for artists, a place where you get the spirit of New York City and its infinite possibilities but in a more intimate, neighborhood feel.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/09/08/revlon1.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Sarah lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, or Bed-Stuy in short, an area located in Central Brooklyn linked to the hip Williamsburg. This historic neighborhood has picturesque brownstones and quaint storefronts, showing the dynamism of the old and the new.</p><p>“I can absolutely say that I already found love in Brooklyn. I like to have that sense of being in a community where everybody goes through a struggle, and you know they’re able to come out of it validated,” she says.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/09/08/revlon2.jpg"/><figcaption>Meier is rocking the Smudged Eyeliner trend.

It all happened here.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/09/08/revlon3.jpg"/><figcaption>Meier wears the Wash of Pink trend.

And I always urge you to choose love, because it’s the most rewarding. In the end, there are no regrets.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/09/08/revlon4.jpg"/></figure></div><p>“Every single time you choose love, you end up winning, and you end up growing.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/09/08/revlon5.jpg"/><figcaption>Meier poses beside the subway stairs, rocking the Bold Lip trend.
