TRAVEL TIPS               


Pack a couple of scented travel candles in your suitcase. Makes a hotel room an intimate space in seconds.

You can find them on Sephora  and sink in… Bliss!

 
Hot Spots
 
The luxe vegetarian restaurant, Millennium is now located in the Savoy Hotel in San Francisco’s theatre district. Every Sunday closest to the full moon, it offers a five-course Aphrodisiac Dinner, complete with Chinese herbal love potions.

For a little extra, you can get a room at the Savoy for afterwards. Yummy!

 The Deseo Hotel on the Playa del Carmen in Mexico is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Fear not: there’s nary a token shot glass or a flowered polyester sheet set to be seen! Located just south of Cancun, the hotel is a sleek retreat, complete with lots of white, drapey curtains that wave in the breeze and a poolside scene that becomes a twinkling dance floor after the sun sets.

Hot tip: rooms 7 & 15 have open-air bathtubs and expansive views of the blue, blue ocean beyond…
