FACT #1

The French Riviera Beckons Wildly

Should you be over springtime getaways involving brightly colored cocktails consumed in overcrowded pools, here's a better idea. It's a particularly beautiful hotel on a quiet stretch of the Provence coast where you'll swim in natural seawater pools carved into coastal rock, stroll through Mediterranean-style gardens and spend evenings in an open-air cinema. See? A better idea.

FACT #2

Your Wellness Routine May Soon Involve Mezcal Therapy

Now seems like a good time to start being a happier and healthier human being. Especially when that means trying mezcal body wraps, guided dream meditation and a crazy virtual reality game/fitness machine hybrid that makes you feel like you're flying and also gives you abs. Which really inspires one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments.

The more you know...

FACT #5

And for those with any of seven other very specific music-festival-related desires, we've got something for you, too.

FACT #6
