I’ll be writing you a virtual postcard from each stop. We plan to ask locals along the way for their favorite hidden, non-touristy spots, which I will share with you so you can save the tips for your own magical trip, too.

Hello from La Compagnie airplane! Love this airline’s “quiet luxury” concept: every seat is business class so that everyone—from high-profile personalities to sweet dogs (one of the few airlines that allows it)—can enjoy their beauty sleep in comfort.

For inspo and pampering: I brought along Bella Grace —a magazine all about finding magic in the ordinary— and Savor Beauty’s new Blue Tansy Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum for an in-flight self-care ritual.

After sleeping for a full six hours, we woke up in sunny South France, my favorite place in the world. 🌞

SO grateful for the incredible Savor Beauty team back in New York, which allows me to step back for a little self-care adventure. I’ll come back refreshed and ready to inspire!

Bonjour de Vence, a magical village in Provence. Je me régale!

Un café Américain, a buttery croissant 🥐, and some shopping to start our first day in France!

We’re staying at the sweetest boutique hotel, La Maison du Frêne. I had read online reviews that described the hosts as welcoming and incredibly helpful. Since we arrived sans iterinaire, I knew their tips would help us explore the ville like **locals.

They pointed us to Salon de Thé (a woman-owned cafe) and L’atelier Français (a boutique featuring locally-made clothing and gifts). We spent the afternoon sipping on tea, enjoying freshly baked treats, and trying on stylish French outfits.

The lovely women in the café jotted down their favorite local spots for us, and I have to pass them on to you. Trust me, they are gold!

One of their top picks for dinner was Neosud. The sun here must do something magical because a simple salmon salad was out-of-this-world, and the house-made truffle cheese was divine.

Fun fact: You may already know this, but I’m obsessed with truffles. So obsessed, that I actually took the rare mushroom extract (which is packed with the enzyme superoxide dismutase) and created an antioxidant-rich Truffle Face Cream from it. It’s now our bestseller!

I was always struck by the joyous colors in Monet and Picasso’s vibrant paintings of Antibes. Now I can see exactly where their inspiration came from.

The Côte d'Azur, with its shining sun and a sea full of yachts, fills the air with a happy and carefree energy!

Another local recommended Baba, a restaurant on Plage Keller—one of the most stunning beaches in Antibes—where we enjoyed some delicious Lebanese cuisine along with private beach access and full service.

We played conversation cards and here was one of the questions that I thought you’d love, too: “If you could watch a movie trailer of our relationship, what moments would make the cut?”

We ended the day in Cannes with a leisurely walk along Boulevard de la Croisette—perfect for soaking up the vibrant atmosphere, people-watching, and browsing luxury boutiques and cafes.

(P.S. I have never seen so many fancy cars on one street in my life! With everyone dressed to the nines with 5-inch heels and designer dresses—Cannes is pure glitz and glam).

Spent the morning and early afternoon in Nice at another Mediterranean restaurant and beach gem, Castel Plage.

You’d love the relaxed vibe—think fresh seafood, sunbathing (topless if you want!), and swimming in the most amazing deep blue sea. Ali swears it’s the best water he’s ever been in!

For dinner, fresh fish straight from the ocean (full of amazing skin-loving omega-3s). Our friends just moved to Nice—and their lifestyle consists of swimming in the refreshing blue sea every morning. An inspiring dream come true!

Bisoux, dear Provence—tomorrow we’re off to Monaco and then Italy. A très bientôt!
