AWAY AT EASTWIND OLIVEREA VALLEY

I have fallen in love with the interiors and beautiful architecture at the new Eastwind Hotel, Oliverea Valley. It’s chic, modern, and extremely cozy. Winter may be over and the days may be longer, but it’s still chilly enough to cuddle up in great knitwear. Packing up the car and heading upstate is something we try to do every season if we can. It’s the perfect place to read, make s’mores, and enjoy the incredible food at Dandelion, the hotel’s amazing new restaurant. This was a very luxurious way to spend a couple of days tucked away in the mountains with a good book and a glass of red wine. Sharing these relaxing moments with my family is a dream come true. This little getaway was just what we needed before kicking off another busy Spring.

THE MACALLAN DOUBLE CASK 15 IN BUDAPEST

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.
