The Best Travel Show You’re Missing

If you’re reading this, chances are you like the good life. Travel. Food. Style. Culture. But you’re deep. You want to learn about off the beaten path, meet interesting people and make a difference in the world.

Living La Pura Vida in Costa Rica

When a country’s slogan is “pura vida” – meaning “pure life” and “plenty of life” – it’s a country worth looking into. And that’s exactly what Costa Rica is all about: an abundance of pure, rural, natural beauty. But unlike other comparable getaways, getting there doesn’t require two flights and a boat. Or, say, a treacherous rental car journey along a militia-laden dirt road without a GPS. (We speak from experience.) Wild as it is, one of the greatest things…

Where to Stay in Tulum

Where are an Emmy winner, a Victoria’s Secret model and a Goop goddess head for the winter? That would be Tulum, a bohemian-vibe locale that still is egalitarian. You can camp out on the beach in your own tent or in a $4,000/night tent. Your choice. Here’s where to stay in Tulum now. Hotel: Azulik Celeb: Kristin Cavallari What to Know: Usually when there isn’t air conditioning or a TV in your hotel room, it’s a bad sign. That’s not…

Nothing But Air With Air Jordan

The most dressed-down person nowadays is often the most important. We’re thinking of Mark Zuckerberg rocking the hoodie (though, thank goodness, he put on a tie to testify in front of Congress). Or how at hedge funds, the fleece vest — preferably with company logo — has become the uniform of choice. They say, though, you can tell everything about someone by looking at the shoes. And these shoes, well, as they say, the more things change, the more they…

3 Yoga Retreats to Know

We think the US needs a big namaste right about now. So for our public service announcement this month, we have three yoga retreats.

After all, yoga is as good for you as any intense cardio session and it gets you on track for long-term wellness. The beauty of these yoga retreats is they’re not a…

What to Watch on Netflix: Tiny Pretty Things

As part of our wellness theme this week, we thought that a drama about ballet, that’s a cross between Black Swan and Gossip Girl, would fit right in. Just watching these dancers is workout enough. But seriously though, these pretty ballerinas are world-class athletes, and they are hangry. All of which makes a perfect combination of drama to binge-watch this month. Tiny Pretty Things was made for that night when you have nothing to do but grab a bowl of popcorn…

What to Watch on Netflix This Week: Emily in Paris

We might be a little bit late to the party, but it’s never too late to join Emily in Paris.

The show follows Collins as she trots along cobblestone streets in stilettos, working at a new marketing job for a prestigious company in Paris. She isn’t…

The Grand Hotel Timeo

We’ve asked ourselves more than once, why is Sicily not the most popular place to visit in Italy? Well, the competition is fierce, since it’s a country where really it’s all good. But it’s also what makes this island off the tip of the boot of Italia such special place to visit. One of the highlights of Sicily is a hotel that overlooks Mount Etna, an ancient Roman amphitheater and the Mediterranean Sea. This is hands down, even with the…
