THE MACALLAN DOUBLE CASK 15 IN BUDAPEST

// The Macallan Double Cask 15, Aje dress (similar), Charles & Keith shoes //

It is such an incredible experience to be an ambassador of The Macallan. Storytelling with the brand has been such a joy. I was inspired to travel far away to the elegant Botaniq Castle in Hungary with a bottle of The Macallan Double Cask 15. I was able to envision what life would be like to live in a castle in Europe. Budapest architecture is thoughtful and unique, just like this single malt whisky. European oak gives it an unmistakable subtle spice. This bottle has a sweeter, warmer taste that I just love. Give me a pour and a great dress and my evening is complete.

GETAWAY TO HILTON LOS CABOS

There is so much to love about Hilton Los Cabos and it was our ideal location for our January warm-weather escape. This resort really has it all. Here is what a typical day at the fabulous Hilton Los Cabos looks like. Mornings begin with the most amazing Mexican breakfast at Talavera. Imagine freshly made tortillas for quesadillas or tacos, spicy chilaquiles, and the best smoothie bar in the world. Afternoons are for whatever you like. Slow walks on the beach. A good book by the pool. A game of tennis on the courts. Or like me, tucked away in the spa for a deep-tissue massage. Once it’s 5pm, it’s cocktail hour, and I can guarantee that you will want a round of their signature hibiscus margaritas. They are delicious. A late night at the resort after dinner are for dips in the hot tub paired with the soothing sound of the crashing waves, or on some nights, wonderful live music. I even kept the balcony doors open so I could hear the ocean as I fell asleep.

I would really wake up excited each morning at sunrise to do it all again. I like that I ease into the day and take my time when I’m in Mexico. It’s all about having a simple schedule and enjoying the present moment. I hope to carry that peaceful mentality with me everywhere I go. Make sure you book the AltaMar suites. It is paradise.

THE ALL NEW BOCA RATON RESORT & CLUB

The Boca Raton Resort & Club is every New Yorkers dream escape. It’s just a 3 hour flight to paradise. Palm trees and extra balmy weather await for me in the wintertime. This luxury resort is a place to either unwind by the pool or stay active on the tennis courts. I did all of the above, and more. I biked through the exquisite neighborhood. I ate a Sadelle’s classic burger. I took a royal bath in the spa. The newly renovated pink tower is just a dream. It still has it’s old school charm but with chic new interiors. I dressed up. I dressed down. I took a boat to the Boca Raton Beach Club to lay out with a cocktail. All I can say is, I would do it all over again.

IN STOCKHOLM FOR THE VOLVO EX90 LAUNCH!

I love getting a few days in Stockholm, Sweden. I was nonstop in the city with Volvo for the reveal of the fully electric Volvo EX90! This stunning vehicle is inspired by nature and Sweden’s minimalist fashion. It’s a car I definitely see myself driving once it’s available in 2024. This 100% electric SUV seats 7 and has brand new safety features. I loved getting to visit Volvo’s hometown of Sweden to really immerse myself in their word of art and sustainability. I have another roadtrip with Volvo coming up very soon so stay tuned!

The Nobis Hotel is where you’ll see this stunning spiral staircase and it was our home base this trip. It’s in the center of town, right near all the incredible shopping, and has the most amazing restaurants. A couple of days in Stockholm for work is such an inspiring treat.
